Amy stepped forward and said:
-Adriana, from now on I’m your agent, don’t worry, I’ll get you to the head of the film industry, no problem to crush whoever you want.
His last words made Adriana’s heart flutter and she looked at her.
Amy looked to be in her early thirties, with her hair pulled back, dressed in a professional woman’s outfit, and her figure well-groomed, no worse than Adriana as a model.
Her words seemed to mean something.
After Mr. Zoido explained something to her, she left for a phone call.
Amy closed the door, saying:
-Do you want to finish off Micaela and avenge the humiliation you suffered today?
Adriana immediately clenched her fists, “Of course I do!
-Oh, behave yourself and I’ll definitely help you.
Adriana asked:
-Are you the mystery man who called me?
Amy laughed and shook her head:
-I’m not, but, I’m the one the Boss sent to help you no less.
Adriana asked suspiciously:
-Who is that person? Why is he helping me?
Said Amy in a haughty voice:
-You don’t need to know, you just need to know that you have a common enemy. Miss Elvira. Nobody is going to help you except the Boss, the Superb leisure is not going to help you always, he won’t hesitate to throw you out when you can’t make money for them.
Adriana couldn’t help a shiver.
-Besides, we released our good will to work with you and we risked drugging Micaela, only, Micaela defied the effects of the drug and insisted on holding out until the end of the competition, and I couldn’t do anything about it.
This Adriana knew, and she shivered with rage again as she thought of the video of the end of last night’s contest.
-Why did you post those videos yesterday during the live broadcast? Those videos are what got me in trouble.
With a quick movement, Amy squeezed Adriana’s cheek with such force, and instantly Adriana knew that Amy was no ordinary person.
Amy smiled:
-Miss Elvira, just call me Amy, and as for the man who sent me here, we call him Boss in unison, got it? The word “loser” is more appropriate for Miss Elvira, we didn’t make all those videos, Micaela’s boyfriend did, and the first ones in your favor are just a set up for the later ones, to set up how good Micaela is, and you, how disgusting, got it?
He said it just to provoke Adriana, to amplify her hatred towards Micaela, towards Carlos.
Adriana felt her cheeks hurt, knowing she had no choice, but she didn’t want to choose anything else!
Amy’s words made her hate Micaela even more.
-Well, I trust you and the Chief, to give me a better way out, to get rid of Micaela!
Amy let go of her hand and immediately changed her tone:
-Adriana, don’t worry, the Chief won’t treat you badly, as long as you listen and cooperate, you’ll get everything you want.
…
In the evening, Micaela had to go to Brillantella to a celebration party, and Carlos let her go and had Raul take her to Brillantella.
When the party was over, it was ten o’clock at night.
Carlos picked up Micaela himself and took her home.
Alba was relieved to leave Micaela in Carlos’ hands, and after greeting the other models and Eric, she got into Ernesto’s car.
In the car, Micaela was too sleepy to keep her eyes open, as it was her celebration party and she had inevitably drunk too much wine, so as soon as she fell into Carlos’ arms, she relaxed completely and fell asleep….
Carlos looked lovingly at the girl who had fallen into his arms. She had been exhausted the night before, and in the afternoon she had argued with him about the plan with Tomas, and had not rested from the excitement, and with the catalyst of alcohol, she could not hold herself now….
Diego also returned to Teladia late in the afternoon, and as soon as he got back, he drove to the office.
As he drove, he looked in the rearview mirror and asked:
-Sir, is it true that you are not going to go ahead and prevent Sr. Tomas’ wedding?
Carlos muttered under his breath and held the girl a little tighter in his arms.
-But Mr. Tomas likes Miss Bianca, and a few days ago Miss Bianca went to Salamentro to see Mr. Tomas, so she must also have feelings for him, so why are you still allowing the marriage with the mayor’s daughter?
Diego really didn’t understand.
Carlos looked up into the rearview mirror and whispered:
-I’m not going to let the last seven years of Thomas’ work go to waste.
Diego smiled and had to suppress his misgivings, relieved to know that Carlos really cared about his brother.
When they arrived at Barrio Fanslan, Carlos carefully took Micaela out of the car without waking her.
The next morning, it didn’t even seem to be fully dawn when the doorbell rang at the door downstairs….
-Carlos… -Micaela shouted softly.
Carlos kissed her forehead, said in his hoarse voice:
-Good girl, you sleep, I’ll go see who it is.
With a curse under his breath, Carlos put on a shirt and got up to go downstairs.
“What kind of psychopath comes in the wee hours of the morning to disturb people’s dreams?”
Micaela was awake, looked at the ceiling for a long time and then covered her face.
“Yesterday, it seems that Carlos had given me a bath…”
It seemed that, half drunk and half awake, she had done something surprising.
In her mind was a vague memory of Carlos’ low, husky voice.
-Micaela, you’re so damned charming when you’ve been drinking…..
Micaela got up to go to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water when she heard Leonardo shout from downstairs
-Olivia, come out, I know you’re here, come home with me!
Micaela was surprised.
“What, Leonardo is here looking for Olivia, what was going on?”
Carlos seemed to say something to her, there was a moment of silence downstairs and then Carlos came in.
-Get changed, little one, and come down later.
Micaela nodded and hurried to get her clothes, feeling sore but in no mood to argue with Carlos about abstinence.
Micaela finished changing and tried to go downstairs when she saw her phone lit up with messages.
It was a message from Olivia.
-Micaela, I’m sorry I can’t be your makeup artist anymore, I recommended the best makeup artist in my studio. Micaela, my parents didn’t go on a trip abroad, it was Natalia’s father who pressured the school where my parents teach, they were expelled. My father got sick with anger. And I took them abroad to rest. Leonardo and I, nothing else.
