Micaela couldn’t be bullied, but deep down she didn’t like this kind of deception either.
Alba said:
-Don’t worry, Mr. Aguayo will protect you, he didn’t say a word to you back home after what happened yesterday, did he?
Micaela nodded.
He didn’t even mention these things if she didn’t ask him to, always doing everything for her in silence.
-I envy you, Micaela, from the first time I ate with you in Celotierra, I knew Mr. Aguayo was steady as a rock in his feelings for you,” Olivia said, a look of dejection on her face.
Micaela asked with concern:
-Olivia, you seem sullen, what’s wrong?
Suddenly, Olivia held out her hand and showed the diamond ring she had put on the night before.
Alba exclaims in perfect harmony.
-Wow, it’s beautiful, it’s so sparkly, OMG!
Olivia couldn’t help but smile, and Micaela smiled and asked:
-A marriage proposal, huh? So you’re still not happy?
Olivia propped her chin with one hand and asked in turn:
-You know about the day I left backstage to go to the public, right?
Micaela nodded:
-When I found you, you were on the stairs with red eyes and saying you missed your boyfriend.
Olivia sighed and said:
-Actually, I went to borrow someone’s phone to call Leonardo, but the person who answered the phone, was Natalia.
Micaela was surprised, but Alba had no visible reaction.
Olivia continued:
-She told me that she could give Leonardo all the support he needed for his career, that I could give him nothing but love, and she told me that she would be Leonardo’s wife, and that although she and Leonardo were using each other for whatever they wanted, there was no guarantee that it would never be a fake affair….
Olivia’s tears fell….
Alba stood up with a thump on the table:
-Natalia is outrageous! Talking about a partnership and then secretly threatening Olivia like this, what does she want?
-After all, Leonardo still doesn’t love me enough, I’m sure he couldn’t love a woman more, but, now that I’m close to him, I’m obviously making things difficult for him…..
Micaela reassured Olivia:.
-Olivia, don’t be ridiculous, how could he propose to you if he doesn’t love you enough?
-He’s only guilty, Micaela, do you remember the night Mr. Aguayo came to see you on the set? I called Leonardo on his cell phone, in fact, then he hung up when he heard my voice. At that time, I don’t think he felt comfortable talking to me, so it must have been in front of Natalia. Besides, they lent me the phone to call him later and Natalia answered, so he must have more or less realized it and proposed to me before to reassure me….
Micaela felt instantly sad for Olivia. She had noticed the clues so early on, but she didn’t say a word so as not to affect her mood….
Olivia looked at Alba and asked:
-Alba you knew at the Super Angel didn’t you, the fact that Leonardo was still with Natalia?
Alba sat back and nodded helplessly.
-Yes, the day after I returned, I accompanied Ernesto to another party and we met there.
Alba had wanted to talk to Micaela about it last night, but Carlos had arrived unexpectedly and interrupted what she was going to say.
Natalia was a woman who was hard to resist, she was beautiful, rich and powerful, without the slightest hint of pretension, making the men around her envious and jealous and eager to take Leonardo’s place, also satisfying Leonardo’s vanity.
Alba paused and added:
-That said, I didn’t used to know Natalia very well, but I didn’t think Natalia used to be like that, now Natalia seems strange to me, nothing to do with before, and I even start to wonder what are her motives to get closer to Leonardo.
Micaela frowned, analyzing:
-At the time, she said that her boyfriend’s status was not approved by her family, so she needed a fake boyfriend superficially and so she could avoid the family’s forced marriage…..
Olivia wiped tears from the corners of her eyes and said, somewhat self-deprecatingly:
-Maybe that’s just her excuse, she really has her eye on Leonardo, doesn’t she? Wouldn’t it be novel to approach Leonardo that way?
Alba echoed.
-Yes, it’s quite strange, she is particularly close to Leonardo in front of others, even if she is an open person, she has to consider her legendary boyfriend’s feelings, right?
This comment was meant to indicate that she agreed with what Olivia had just thought. Olivia felt even sadder when Micaela took her hand in hers.
-Olivia, do you have plans yet?
Olivia said:
-No, I’m confused. I just wanted to talk it over with you guys, I’m in a much better mood now.
Micaela said seriously:
-Olivia, you love him very much and he absolutely loves you, we the viewers see it clearly. Communicate and talk to him, don’t be impulsive.
Olivia lowered her eyes and answered quietly.
She wouldn’t be impulsive, she could see it clearly.
Micaela’s phone suddenly rang. It was Eric.
Micaela turned on the speaker and took the call:
-Honey, have you seen the live broadcast? And she said she had to wait for you to forgive her before stopping the live broadcast, and now she keeps saying she’s sorry!
Alba jumped up and down in anger:
-Adriana is morally abusive. If you don’t forgive her, it makes you look petty. And even though she betrayed you with Marcos, you met Sor Aguayo, and in the public’s mind, you earned it, of course you did, ha, ha, ha, ha. Anyway, just one thing, it’s too much to make a scene to be inexcusable when you intend to sponsor an orphanage.
Eric also snorted in exasperation.
-Yes, this woman makes me very, very angry!
Micaela said directly:
-Then, let’s publish a post that I’ve forgiven her, Eric, you’d be doing her a big favor if things went ahead.
Alba nodded:
-Yes, he’s done enough, it’s worse for us if we keep holding on.
Eric sighed in relief:
-I’m all pissed off, thankfully you two are more sober than I am, so let’s split the work, I’ll take care of the company part of posting, Alba you go public with Micaela’s Twitter feed too, just seriously, no need to be flashy.
Alba said several times that she understood, and held out her hand to Micaela to hang up the phone.
She immediately pulled the iPad out of her bag and got to work.
Micaela also looked sadly at Olivia’s dejected look.
-Olivia, go back and talk to Leonardo, there is always a way to solve problems.
Olivia smiled reluctantly:
-Definitely not the case if this matter is put on Mr. Aguayo and Mr. Mancebo. In fact, if I were a man, I wouldn’t be able to say no to Natalia, besides the lucrative offer she made to Leonardo, even Leonardo’s mother offered to get along with Natalia, and agree to Leonardo marrying me after he agreed to that lucrative business deal….
Micaela was even more heartbroken for Olivia. It is because of this layer of relationship that Olivia was sadder…
