Leonardo was at Natalia’s house. When he finished dinner, he sat on the sofa, chatting with Don Nunez.
And Natalia’s parents were sitting next to him.
When the phone rang, he saw it was Carlos’ call, so he picked it up without hesitation, trying to walk to the side to talk on the phone.
However, he heard the familiar voice:
-Guess who this is?
Leonardo immediately recognized it was Olivia, but she was in the family. He didn’t do what he had promised Olivia earlier, or rather, he tried to, but what Natalia offered him was so tempting that he couldn’t refuse.
When he heard Olivia’s voice, a guilt welled up in him, making him hang up the phone before he could utter a sound.
-Leonardo, what’s up, did your girlfriend call you? Don Nunez asked.
Leonardo smiled and sat down, his phone on the desk.
On it turned out to be the call log screen, and the first one that appeared was Carlos’ name.
-It’s Carlos, but there’s no sound when he answers. Maybe he called the wrong number.
Don Nunez glanced at the phone and nodded reassuringly.
At this moment, Natalia sat down next to Leonardo, taking his arm.
-Grandfather, I’m his girlfriend.
Don Nunez looked fondly at his granddaughter.
Natalia’s father, Inhue Nunez, spoke:
-It’s normal for men to enjoy flirting with women, but it’s time to stop. What kind of woman is worth it, Leonardo, you should know very well.
Leonardo repressed the discomfort that arose in his heart and nodded slightly.

The next few days, Micaela’s condition was very good, and all kinds of arrangements were very easy to carry out.
The day of the ten-in-five game arrived.
-Dear beauties, our program has exceeded hundreds of millions of viewers. First of all, congratulations, each of you has become famous! The reason why we keep you away from the outside world is so that you will not be influenced by external factors and give your best. Now, seeing you all in good spirits, I think you are ready for today’s competition.
The program host spoke in an enthusiastic voice.
Today’s ten-in-five contest will be a talent competition. I believe that after a few days of preparation, the ten models have prepared their unique performances, so let’s enjoy.
The contest was held in a huge indoor studio. The auditorium was packed. Everyone had been selected as the lucky audience and waited with great anticipation for the contest to begin.
The models had been practicing for days, but they were still a little nervous. If they made it to the top five, they would be in the finals, and even if they finished in last place, it would be worth it.
On the stage, which was elegantly decorated, suddenly the lights dimmed and then a beam of white light fell on the center of the stage. A woman in a black leotard appeared on stage with an incredible posture. She wore a black cat’s eye mask and her figure was alluring. There was much speculation as to who this model was.
A very powerful dance song played, and that model started dancing to the music, along with the rhythmic dance, she instantly cheered up the whole studio hall.
At the end of the dance, she took off her mask and there was an explosion of excitement from the audience:
-It’s Adriana!
-What a great dance!
-How beautiful!
Adriana smirked at all the compliments and walked out.
Valery was backstage and looked at the big screen, disdaining Adriana’s performance. But she felt a little uneasy, as the reaction was overwhelming, which was an excellent start for Adriana.
Both she and Adriana were from Superb leisure, and the jury would most likely only pick one of them, and this performance by Adriana seemed to be detrimental to her!
She looked with some trepidation at Micaela, who was sitting not far away.
She seemed very calm, whispering something to her make-up artist.
-Micaela, I suggested from the beginning that you should play the piano, but you don’t do it. They both chose the dance, but Adriana made the room boil immediately, I’m sure yours won’t have as much effect!
Although the dance she had chosen was very popular at the moment, Olivia regretted not stopping Micaela – she should play the piano!
What Micaela was going to perform was a dance for five people, four of whom were professional dancers. The more Olivia thought about it, the more she couldn’t help but be annoyed:
-It’s okay if you do a solo dance, and you’re the only one on stage. Why have you arranged for four professional dancers to draw attention to yourself? Do you think Mr. Aguayo to the point of madness? So, you want to be eliminated quickly so you can go home to see him?
Micaela smiled and patted her back to calm her down:
-Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.
I was aiming for first place!
Her show, it was absolutely unique!
Olivia looked at her with conviction, but still felt uneasy.
The order of the performances was decided by drawing lots and, coincidentally, Micaela came in tenth place.
Expectations for the final were at an all-time high, and if she didn’t have a brilliant performance, she would be completely outclassed by the people in front of her.
Olivia kept nervously checking Micaela’s makeup and clothes.
Eventually, the models came on stage one by one to showcase their talent.
Some sang, some recited, some played instruments, etc. All of them tried their best to cope with the contest.
Finally, it was time for the last one.
A large part of the audience came for Micaela. It took a long time to wait for Micaela and everyone was very excited to see her appear.
At the back of the stage, a standing drawing board was set up and a sheet of white paper was placed on it.
The audience was puzzled.
What was the performance going to be?
Was she going to draw on the stage?
Olivia was confused, she didn’t even know how the drawing board had suddenly been placed on the stage.
“Have you decided to paint Micaela?”
“Can she still paint, why didn’t I know that?”
Olivia covered her mouth fiercely.
“Could it be that Micaela was trying, at the same time, to dance and paint? “
