The next day, Micaela woke up alone in bed, uncomfortable and sleepy until midnight without Carlos’ warm embrace by her side.
She looked at her phone, she had a message from Carlos.
-Honey, I haven’t slept all night without you in my arms.
Micaela blushed, her heart swelling with sweetness, and replied with a shy emoji, then. After thinking about it, she answered him with two more words.
-Me too.
Then, thinking of Katarina, he texted her:
-Katarina, how was last night?
Actually, she wanted to say: whether it happened what she expected or not?
Micaela can’t help blushing even more…
Looking at the time, it wasn’t seven o’clock yet.
“Alba must not be up this early, right?”
Micaela put the phone down and tried to go wash up when she heard the sound of an answering message on her phone.
She hurriedly picked it up and Katarina replied:
-No, he was a temporary business trip.
Micaela stared in astonishment, rubbed her eyes again and looked again. Then she turned and went out, running to Alba’s room next door.
Alba was lying on her back playing with her phone, a smile on her face.
Micaela didn’t have the courage to ask if she was talking to Ernesto and said directly.
-Alba, your name is going to be spelled backwards.
Alba reacted half-heartedly and sat up with her head held high in excitement.
-Holy cow, is that Antonio?
Micaela handed her the phone.
Alba glanced at it and gasped.
Micaela sat on the edge of Alba’s bed with mixed feelings.
-How could that be? I still remember that scene when I first met Katarina and Marcos, when Marcos went to beg Mr. James to buy him a dress to propose to Katarina, and after being refused, he went to have one custom-made for Katarina?
Alba half-listened and suddenly reached out and grabbed Micaela’s arm.
-Wait, Micaela! Just because I haven’t touched Katarina doesn’t mean I don’t love her, does it? Maybe there really is an emergency?
Micaela blushed instantly, not knowing how to explain it.
After half a day of deliberation, she said kindly.
-Two people who truly love each other are attracted to each other.
This was said in an unclear way and Alba felt confused.
Micaela covered her face.
“This damn experience of getting close is really annoying!”
She got up to leave, because it was such an intimate topic that she couldn’t talk about it.
Alba stopped her:.
-You still haven’t said it, what’s wrong? Why do you want to say…
Micaela pushed Alba’s hand away, blurted out the sentence that Ernesto should be asked and hurried back to her room.
Alba, looking puzzled, picked up her phone and sent a message.
-Being together for a long time and not having sex because the man doesn’t love the woman?
Ernesto, thousands of miles away, was looking at this message, but he had no idea how many brain cells had been burned by the question.
It was a long time before he answered:
-No, maybe he had something else on his mind.
For example, him and Alba.
Ernesto did not dare to overstep his boundaries just so she would not flinch, and he would not take a single step until she fully accepted him, and kept her word.
He knows that now he and Alba had taken giant steps, but, under her gaze, there were still defenses, distance. Ernesto wanted all of Alba, to accept him wholeheartedly?
Carlos finished reading the statement in his hand and rubbed his forehead.
I didn’t sleep well last night, it always felt empty in his arms….
Habit was such a terrible thing, he wished he could take his girl everywhere from now on.
“Her contract should expire soon…”
In fact, if Micaela wanted to, she could terminate her contract early, and she didn’t even mind the small amount of breach of contract.
It’s just that the girl had already experienced the joy of modeling, and the way she kept herself dazzling and confident on stage appealed to him just the same.
As long as she was happy, he’d let her do whatever she wanted, and he wasn’t willing to force her in the least.
Diego picked up the folder and looked at his boss and then at Ernesto, sitting across the table.
“Will these two ever stop thinking women?”
-Ejem, Mr. Aguayo, the information is all ready, the staff is all here and ready to go to the meeting.
Then Carlos looked up, and began his journey.
Ernesto, who had not been with the Aguayo Group for long, had come on this trip because he had been awarded one of the projects developed in this Jerala City on his own merits.
Ernesto used to admire Carlos’ relentlessness at work, especially because he had Micaela with him, and business trips were like a war.
He still remembered especially the time he and Alba had a scary car accident and Carlos stayed up to take care of things and managed to get a five-day job done in three days.
He even didn’t forget to find time to buy Micaela a present during this time!
However, it was also thanks to the fact that he was so desperate then and rushed back in time, otherwise, the horrible thing that happened that day will be, he did not dare to think….
And now, he simply admires Carlos to the core!
Dinner had been delayed for two hours, and just after finishing, he went back to work!
Several subordinates were already suffering….
Ernesto was complaining, but not now, because he also feels like rushing back to Teladia, with a girl waiting for him at home….
Carlos became serious when his phone, which was on his desk, lit up with a message.
He immediately grabbed his phone.
Micaela sent a message.
-What are you doing?
Carlos replied:
-I’ll give you one more chance to say hello to me again.
A few seconds later, a line of words appeared:
-Carlos, I miss you so much.
Carlos’ face broke into a charming smile, as if he could see Micaela’s shy and blushing face through those words.
-Honey, I miss you too.
Carlos’ life used to be all work, now, he has a hobby of teasing his girl, and no teasing is too much, he has to say that some things is really indescribable….
-Carlos, I want to discuss something with you.
Carlos raised an eyebrow and dialed a phone immediately.
After a few moments, the little woman’s voice immediately came through the microphone, along with Alba’s low voice saying:
-Micaela, come on, make sure you convince your Mr. Aguayo, soften him up and cuddle him, whatever it takes to get him to say yes!!!.
Micaela’s voice rang out:
-Alba you go out first, I will do my best to convince him!
Then there was the sound of the door closing.
Carlos’ smile intensified and he asked in a low voice.
-On purpose? Huh?
