Alba was a little embarrassed and tried to pull out of his hand, while he reached over and placed a kiss on her lips.
-I don’t accept the kiss on the cheek, I want a kiss on the mouth.
With an annoyed expression, Alba pressed her hand against his face, pushing him back. Then he turned around and got out of the car.
A slight blush appeared on Alba’s face…..
Alba ran to Carlos’ car, and Micaela also got out.
After saying goodbye to GHM, Micaela and Alba Man walked together to the building.
Staff and colleagues greeted them warmly along the way, and Micaela also greeted them politely. She let out a sigh of relief until she entered the living room.
Alba asked hurriedly:
-What about Olivia and Leonardo, have they really split up? Didn’t she say yesterday at noon that she hadn’t been thinking straight? She’s obviously in love with him, it’s too abrupt!
Micaela showed her Olivia’s message.
Leonardo came to my house early to pick up Olivia. He left probably at midnight.
After reading it, Alba was very disappointed and looked at Micaela.
-Have you contacted Olivia?
-Her phone is off. I talked to the makeup artist she had recommended. She told me that Olivia had passed on the studio saying she wanted to go abroad to further her studies, but she hadn’t mentioned where she was going.
Micaela was very discouraged.
They had considered Olivia a close friend from long before, so how could they be in a good mood when something like this happened?
-Micaela, I knew Olivia would break up with Leonardo, but I didn’t expect it to happen so soon. And I can’t believe that Natalia is really going to end the partnership with him right now.
Micaela raised her head and looked at Alba with a heavy tone:
-Carlos told me that the Pinto Family will end because of this affair.
-Really?
Very surprised, Alba opened her eyes wide, and slapped him on the leg.
-He deserves it! She always teased Olivia. What a nice girl she is, but he doesn’t appreciate her. How many chances he’s given her and it still turns out like this!
Micaela shook her head.
-I think this was intentional on Natalia’s part. At first, she deliberately offered tempting conditions, so that Leonardo could not refuse to cooperate with her. However, once Leonardo wanted to cancel the collaboration, she would have to pay a painful price.
Alba did not understand.
-What do you really want to do? Is she so much in love with Leonardo that she won’t allow anyone else to exist in her heart? Or from the beginning, did she approach Leonardo for the benefit?
Micaela shook her head, she didn’t know, Carlos hadn’t said anything either?
***
Carlos already had an assumption, but he didn’t say it, nor could he say it.
As he left Brillantella, he headed straight for Nubcancion.
Natalia sat behind the desk by the window, her hair pulled back and her face well made up. Wearing a white professional suit, she looked very smart and competent. Seeing Carlos enter at a great pace, she was not surprised at all and stood up with a smile.
-Carlos, this is the second time you have come to my office in the last few years.
Carlos sat down across from her, his eyes cold and sharp, and said indifferently.
-You really impress me.
He didn’t even want to call her by name?
An unfamiliar emotion appeared in her eyes. She sat up slowly.
-Carlos, what do you want to say?
Carlos asked instead of answering:
-Los Nunez is short of money these days? The Pinto Family assets, are they enough?
Natalia smiled, she understood. He was already accusing her, so she stopped pretending too.
-If not, are you going to make up for it?
A sneer came across Carlos’ face.
-No, but I’m going to kick the dying.
Natalia was startled.
-What does that mean?
Carlos’s gaze turned colder.
-It means, probably, the Nunez no longer care about the state of the third largest family.
Faced with these threats, anyone else would have been on their knees begging for mercy, but Natalia’s heart was shocked. She is fascinated by this ambitious Carlos….
His perfect figure, his deep eyes, his cool expression and noble aura, there was no other man in the world who could reach the tenth, no, the hundredth part of Carlos….
Such a handsome, capable and decent man, only she, Natalia, could be his partner. Yet, after all those years, he had never laid eyes on her!
Carlos frowned, a look he was completely familiar with, but he had never discovered this look of adoration!
This woman, she was quite good at disguise.
Natalia said quietly:
-Carlos, I’m just following the contract. It is Leonardo himself who caused this end of the Pinto Family. A month ago, after you called me, he backed out once and wanted to end the partnership. He accepted it, considering our friendship, of course I had some concern. However, a few days later, he could not resist the temptation and asked me again to continue. So I signed an agreement with him that if he proposes to terminate again within the contract period, I will make him pay. Everything is clearly written.
So saying, she took a folder off the table, opened it and passed it to Carlos.
Carlos did not look at her, he simply continued to look at her with indifference.
-I didn’t realize that you can tell lies without blushing or gasping.
A little surprised, Natalia pushed the folder forward.
-Look, it’s clearly stated in the agreement…..
-The agreement is valid, this I trust. What’s wrong is that you never thought of leaving Leonardo alone from the beginning!
Natalia froze for a second, then licked her lips. Her eyes were filled with exposed flirtations and innuendo, and her voice also softened.
-Carlos, how clever you are. You’re so smart, so perfect, how can I not fall in love with you!
Indeed!
A cold light shone in Carlos’ eyes.
If he hadn’t been confused by her fake boyfriend, he would have turned on her!
However, he had never expected Natalia to be so cruel that she would lead Leonardo into such a situation. His girlfriend was forced to leave, his family’s career also sank in an instant….
Natalia pinched the pendant on his collarbone, which was very delicate and looked like incense bag or gourd. Then, she got up and stood in front of Carlos, resting her hip on the edge of the table. She looked at him with her arms crossed and leaned slightly towards him.
-Carlos, I don’t want to be your friend, don’t you know that? I’m trying to learn from you, I left Grupo Nunez and founded my own Nubcancion. I am so outstanding that I have all the men of Teladia under my spell. In this world, you, who are just as brilliant, are the only person who deserves me. But you only treat me as a friend…..
Saying, she bowed, and the delicate pendant swayed slightly with this movement. The strapless blouse revealed a little of the curves inside….
Carlos didn’t look away, remained cold without another movement, just staring into her eyes.
Natalia’s heart beat faster and her eyes became more flirtatious, overflowing with love. She reached out her hand, touched Carlos’ chest with her finger, and moved down…
