Micaela looked up and was a little surprised.
-Micaela, this time the accident was so sudden, because of the poisoning, we analyzed it, and the program will also reinforce the precautions later, so that this will not happen again. From now on, the only person who can approach you casually will be the makeup artist.
Eric nodded and said:
-After passing the top ten, the main points of the later rounds are announced in advance. You know all aspects of the game, so it doesn’t make much sense for me to stay to guide you. In comparison, your safety is more important.
Alba took Micaela’s hand:
-Micaela, you need to be more attentive. I would love to accompany you, but Olivia is more valuable than I am. Don’t worry, after we leave, I will ask Ernesto to contact Mr. Aguayo and tell him about this incident, so he can find out how Adriana threatened Eliana.
Micaela wanted to tell him not to tell Carlos that she had fainted from the pain. Then it occurred to her that he would definitely be angry whether she said it or not, so it was better not to mention it.
Eric remembered what the director had just said and hurried to tell him:
-Micaela, about whether it will have an effect on Brillantella, I have received an answer. The team won’t say anything negative about the models’ infighting, but sooner or later things will leak out, so they’ll just do their best to minimize the impact.
This wasn’t exactly good news. With a little hint, the media would make a big fuss. Besides, the public imagination was so fertile…..
-By the way, the director asked me to ask you if you have any problems with this afternoon’s interview. It is best that this recording is done on time so as not to affect the schedule.
The interview was just after finishing the street photography session in the morning, so the schedule was very tight.
Micaela nodded:
-No problem.
Eric appreciated the spirit of cooperation.
-All right, I’ll negotiate again, so there will be no bad comments, and I’ll let Eliana be interviewed as well before informing the police to come.
After the lunch spot, Micaela just ate some light white porridge before being informed that she would be filming the interview.
The shoot moved indoors and the staff had already set up the set and so on.
When the models saw Micaela arrive, they all gathered around with concern. This time they were obviously more sincere and full of admiration.
-Micaela, are you okay?
-You are very brave and strong, you finished the competition perfectly in spite of that pain!
-I admire you so much!
…
Valery and Adriana listened to everyone’s compliments and praise towards Micaela, both said nothing, trying to control their jealousy.
The models that didn’t make it to the top ten also had to be interviewed, so, apart from Eliana, who was pushed aside, all the other models were still here.
The interview didn’t take long to start and, as the first winner, Micaela was the first to be interviewed.
Micaela answered the first questions correctly and had a good performance. Suddenly, the reporter asked:
-At the end of the match, you collapsed in your assistant’s arms, can you explain to everyone why?
Everyone knew that Super Angel Contest was the most realistic competition, so the questions were not set in advance, and all the reporters had seen the morning recording, so this would be asked based on the recording. They all looked nervously at Micaela, how they were going to answer.
Eliana, in particular, was very worried.
Micaela smiled faintly at the camera and said mischievously:
-I looked very calm, but I was very nervous. The first thing that came to my mind after the race was ‘Finally, it’s over!’, so I jumped into the arms of my assistant.
The back of the camera, which was cut off in time, was not seen by the journalists, so they didn’t know. They all laughed and said:
-So the fairy may also be nervous.
Everyone felt better with her.
Eliana was also relieved….
The next step was to interview other models.
For the models who were eliminated, the most frequently asked question was who had the best chance of making it to the next round, and everyone agreed in pointing to Micaela.
This time, among the top ten, Valery and Adriana also advanced.
The reporters were also particularly enthusiastic in their interviews.
Their gesture of helping the old man was a big plus, and the two would be widely discussed after the broadcast.
The interview ended with a group photo of the models in the collective.
The drug that Eliana had applied was not poison, but had bad intentions, so the program team alerted the police and took her away.
After dinner, night had fallen.
Eric, Alba and the other model assistants were about to leave Yeosu Bay.
Micaela and Olivia said goodbye to them.
Alba explained that she would take care of herself and, once again, made sure she was safe and sound, and waited for the security guards in charge of locking the gates of the villa to press them before leaving.
Micaela and Olivia watched the car that was taking them back to the city drive away before entering the villa.
-Olivia, it’s going to cost you to keep me company.
-I’d love to stay. Look, Alba and Eric don’t want to leave yet!
Micaela laughed and teased:
-You miss your boyfriend.
Olivia was wary of the cameras in the area, but still lowered her voice and asked in turn:
-Don’t tell me you don’t miss Mr. Aguayo!
Micaela smiled slightly.
“I miss him so much!”
When they returned to the villa, it was still early and Olivia was staying in Micaela’s room.
When Micaela came out of the bathroom, she said with a frown:
-Olivia, the downspout in the bathroom keeps making water noises.
Olivia was lying on the bed playing a video game:
-I heard it a long time ago, but I thought it would go away in a while-how can we sleep at night like this?
Olivia suddenly became alert:
-Is it possible that someone is bothering you again so you can’t get a good night’s rest?
The more she thought about it, the more likely it was, and Olivia immediately stood up.
-Micaela, wait here, I’m going to look for the person responsible.
The person in charge came over immediately and looked at it, but he couldn’t find anything wrong. There were no leaks anywhere, and besides, it was a new villa, which had been examined and accepted, so there was absolutely no problem. He couldn’t figure out the cause, so he said he would send someone to fix it immediately.
Shortly after the person in charge left, there was a knock at the door.
Micaela thought the maintenance man was coming, so I went to open the door.
But Olivia grabbed her hand and said:
-Hold on, it could be a bad guy!
Micaela nodded, then opened the door a little and asked:
-Who is it?
-I’m here to fix the plumbing.
Micaela froze at the sound of the familiar voice…
