The three of them talked until after 1pm before they were ready to leave. Both Micaela and Alba advised Olivia not to rush and to talk to Leonardo properly.
Olivia smiled and agreed before the two relieved themselves.
During this time, Eric called again and asked if it was okay for Micaela to have a celebratory party at Brillantella in the evening.
From the restaurant, Alba went to Brillantella to take care of the party arrangements, Olivia went back to her studio, and Micaela was sent by Raul to the Aguayo Group.
Micaela had just pushed open the door to Carlos’ office and was kissed passionately by Carlos.
Carlos had seen the video of the match, and it turned out that the girl had admitted he was her husband at the end of the show, in front of everyone.
Carlos was so full of satisfaction and couldn’t wait to see her, he opened his phone to reach Micaela, waiting for her immediately.
-Well…
Micaela’s lips felt numb and she struggled slightly, Carlos then dropped the kiss in return on her forehead. The low, muffled voice sounded in the girl’s ear:
-Micaela, I love you.
Micaela’s heart filled with sweetness and she responded:
-I love you too.
Carlos’s breath caught and he tried to kiss her again, but Micaela avoided him.
-Carlos, don’t do this, don’t you want to work?
The man said nonchalantly:
-I don’t want to, I just want to take you to the living room and do whatever I want.
-What?!
Micaela blushed instantly and hurriedly withdrew from his embrace to walk away.
Carlos flashed a wicked smile, and caught up with her, leading her towards his desk.
-What did you eat?
-Well, Thai food, it’s pretty good, next time we go together?
-Good.
Carlos sat down in his chair and, with a push, the girl fell into his arms.
Micaela looked at Carlos and said seriously:
-Carlos, thank you for everything you have done for me, Adriana has received her punishment.
Carlos kissed her forehead and said:
-I don’t know when I will have to wait for you to do it yourself, but this time was the right time, so naturally I couldn’t let it pass.
Micaela nodded with emotion. Indeed, she had been trying to find the right opportunity, but, it had never been….
-I’m happy to do this for you, honey, and I love that you depend on me.
Micaela blushed, looked down, saw the tie pin pinned on his tie, thought of yesterday’s photo.
-Carlos, the tie pin I saw yesterday in that photo is exactly the same as this one…..
Micaela’s mood plummeted a couple of times.
-It’s a design that was only known to someone who took over when Nubcancion customized this tie clip, so the person who passed me the photo was actually someone from Nubcancion, wasn’t it?
Carlos knew what she was thinking and offered to explain:
-None of your two colleagues could have done it, they didn’t have the ability to get into Yeosu Bay and put the photos in your room without knowing it.
Micaela was relieved that it wasn’t Ana and Kiki, and at the same time, curious:
-So who else could it be? What exactly is that person’s goal? Had he or she done any harm to that person by getting the first place? Also, wasn’t it suspected before that Ana had something to do with the last gun attack? Any clues?
Carlos rubbed her head, his deep eyes watching her as she answered each question:
-Not yet, Ana, as you call her, is moderate, she has no unusual behavior, and so far no suspicious person has approached her.
Carlos frowned a little.
“But if it’s that person, the one behind the curtain, it’s only natural that I can’t find out anything suspicious about Ana.”
-The one who instructed Eliana to set you up, and the one who passed you those retouched photos, must be the same person, but the purpose of doing those two things, might not be the same.
Micaela looked at Carlos in surprise, pondering that the motive of setting her up was undoubtedly to make her lose the contest, and showing her such photos could….
-That person is trying to divorce us from each other?
Carlos nodded. He had a vague idea in his mind, he just wasn’t quite sure.
Micaela put her arms around Carlos’ neck.
-I won’t hesitate, Carlos, I won’t trust anyone until I hear you say you don’t love me.
Even when she saw the photos, she couldn’t tell if they were retouched or not, but she was convinced that even if Carlos was acting a little intimate with the woman whose face was not visible, it was for some other reason.
Carlos lifted her chin, his deep-set eyes looking at her seriously:
-Carlos wouldn’t stop loving you, unless, of course, I wasn’t Carlos.
Micaela burst out laughing:
-How can you not be Carlos?
Carlos smiled, kissing her lips, and said in a muffled voice:
-Then how could I not love you? My life is all Micaela’s.
Micaela was so moved that she could not help but respond to his kiss, and Carlos immediately tightened his arms….
The man moved hotter and hotter, grabbing the girl directly and pressing her against the desk!
Micaela instantly came back to her senses.
-Carlos, no!
Carlos buried his head between her neck and took a couple of deep breaths before lifting her up. A move that was, in fact, more than she could bear, for the girl who was conservative by nature.
His deep voice sounded in her ear:
-Micaela, no one can make me change my feelings for you. That man did something bad to you, but not with poison, which means he won’t hurt you in your life. If it didn’t work, there will be a next time for sure, you just have to wait quietly for that man to show up again. Honey, you are more important than my life.
You are more important than my life…
Micaela was even more moved to tears, sitting on the desk, arms around his waist, face against his chest. Listening to the strong heartbeat in his ears, she whispered:
-Yes, I know, I will protect myself. And so will you…
Carlos wrapped his arms around Micaela, reassuring her:
-I will.
Micaela blushed a little as the two of them posed through the glass wall.
This was an office, a place of business.
Micaela hurried to jump off the desk, feeling a little weak on her feet, and was grabbed by Carlos before she could stand still.
She hurried to change the subject:
-So where is Diego? He wasn’t in the office when I arrived.
-Still in Salamentro.
Micaela immediately remembered and asked hurriedly:
-Is it about Tomas?
Carlos sat down again and tried to pull Micaela into his lap, she squirmed a little and Carlos pulled her into his arms.
-Don’t move, or I’ll take you back to the room!
Carlos nibbled her earlobe and whispered, causing Micaela’s face to flush instantly at his encouragement.
-When I was at the restaurant, Alba said that Tomas was being forced to get married? Is there a problem with the Salamentro branch of the Aguayo Group?
