Midnight, in the Fanslan Quarter.
Micaela was thirsty, Carlos’ body was as warm as an oven, and she felt like he was sucking all the moisture out of her body!
She turned around in a daze and was trying to sit up, but the big hands around her waist did not allow her to do so and pulled her even more into his arms. Carlos asked sleepily:
-Honey, what’s wrong?
Micaela murmured:
-Carlos, I’m thirsty….
Carlos’ thin lips rested on her forehead.
-Well, lie down and I’ll get you a glass of water.
Carlos turned on the lamp on the bedside table and went over to the table to get the water.
Micaela still awake, sat up and watched holding the blanket the tall figure standing by the table, picking up the glass pitcher to pour cold water into a glass, then picking up the thermos to add some hot water. Finally she had a glass of lukewarm water and gave it to Micaela.
Micaela raised her head to look at him and was moved.
She vaguely remembered that there were also times in the past when she felt thirsty, but as if she was dreaming, she wanted to get up, but didn’t, after a while, she had water to drink and went back to sleep.
It turned out that it wasn’t the dreams, it was him who….
Carlos was so attentive to her!
He did everything for her, it was even obvious that she could do it herself.
-Why don’t you drink the water?
Carlos saw that she didn’t drink it, so he sat down and brought the glass to her lips.
Micaela blushed a little before she took it and took a small sip of the water, which was just the right temperature.
In the dim light, Carlos looked at her with the deep eyes and felt that her mere movement of lifting her head slightly to drink the water was also especially charming….
Micaela felt a little embarrassed by his gaze and only drank half a glass of water and handed the glass back to him.
Carlos took it and also took a few sips before putting it on the table.
He lay back down on the bed and the woman consciously climbed into his arms. Carlos took her chin with one hand and kissed her softly….
Micaela moaned, trying to divert his attention.
-Well, Carlos, let me ask you something.
Carlos answered in a low, husky voice:
-Didn’t you ask before going to bed and did you do it deliberately at midnight?
Micaela got angry and pushed him.
-Did you give me the opportunity to ask questions before going to sleep?
Carlos looked at the blushing woman and raised his eyebrows. It seemed that it was true that Carlos had not given her the opportunity, because back then, the two of them….
-Okay, tell me.
Micaela blushed even more and hurried to get to the point:
-You don’t give Adriana lessons on purpose, do you?
Carlos was so smart that she didn’t even need to say it in details and she understood.
Micaela asked him anyway.
Carlos leaned back at the head of the bed and also took the little woman in his arms.
If he didn’t satisfy her curiosity, she wouldn’t be able to sleep.
-I suspect there is a person giving Adriana orders and I’m waiting for that person to show up.
Micaela felt curious and raised her eyes to look at him.
-Why? Why is she so quiet if that’s the way she is?
-Honey, have you ever wondered why she can keep her mouth shut for so many years, even though she clearly knows you’re from Salamonsa?
Micaela thought carefully and answered suddenly:
-She is afraid! There are some reasons for him to keep the secret.
Carlos nodded his head.
-Do you remember our first time making love two years ago?
Micaela blushed, why did she suddenly say that again?
Carlos grabbed her chin to keep her from looking away.
-Honey, you think it’s okay that it was me who made love to you and you don’t think about that matter, do you?
Micaela blushed even more.
So much time had passed, and in reality, not only had she not been harmed, but she had also met the man she loved the most, so naturally she no longer thought about it.
-Have you ever wondered, if I hadn’t come into your room that night, who would have come in and who exactly Adriana was trying to give you to?
-I guess it was some person in Teladia who could finance the Elvira family.
That was what Micaela had always assumed.
Carlos touched her head.
-Honey, I looked into it, the Elvira Group was fine during that time, they didn’t need operating funds, and I checked their accounts, there wasn’t a lot of extra money all of a sudden.
Micaela got a little confused, so why had Adriana and Marta knocked her unconscious with some gas to send her to the hotel?
After a good while, she speculated:
-Do you mean that Adriana is very afraid of someone, that she won’t let the Elvira family reveal that I am from Salamonsa, and the Elvira family has to listen to it? Besides, it was also that person who ordered Adriana to knock me out with gas and send me to the hotel, wasn’t it?
Carlos nodded his head.
-And why did Marta abandon you in an orphanage and two years later agreed to take you home? The Elvira family was missing someone to do the housework? Now that Sergio and his wife have been sent to jail and Adriana’s career is going from strength to strength, then where has the person who originally conspired against you gone?
Carlos had investigated everything he could, and if that person was in Teladia, even in Anlandana, it was impossible for him not to find some clue.
So, he suspected that this person was also from Salamonsa, with the power that was nothing worse than his own!
Micaela’s heart was pounding as she listened to him.
Carlos saw a few moments of fear in her eyes and sighed.
-I didn’t want you to get scared and think about it, that’s why I didn’t tell you. But you ended up coming to ask me.
Indeed Micaela was a little scared.
A person had made so many movements, but not a trace of him could be found, how horrible!
Micaela hugged him and asked:
-And what can we do?
Satisfied with her trust in him, Carlos whispered in her ear with a seductive voice:
-You just need to trust me, follow me and keep you in my peripheral vision.
Micaela looked at him and felt distressed:
-It’s impossible! I have to work too.
-Yes, that’s why, I’ll pay for your breach of contract and you’ll be my secretary…..
Micaela thought of the conversation the two of them had in the car at night, gave a groan and turned over to go to bed.
-I don’t want to!
Carlos approached her and took her in his arms.
-You’ll work with me when your contract is up, okay? I’ll open a studio for you, you’ll only draw the designs and I’ll do everything else, okay?
Micaela immediately hesitated and turned around to face him.
-Really? Then I didn’t want to open one so big or in my name, and I would only do designs for clients I like?
Carlos kissed him on the forehead.
-I totally agree with you.
-I wanted Alba to work with me, and Kiki and Ana too?
-With so many capable people, are you sure you’re only going to open a small studio?
In her mind, the design studio would be in her break room?
Micaela imagined the wonderful future and fell asleep….
Carlos rubbed her head. The distraction had worked and it did because Micaela could not sleep with all those worries in her head.
It was easy to please Micaela.
Carlos planned all those things, and Micaela just had to be happy being by his side and look for him when she was thirsty or hungry. As soon as she missed him, he would be there for her to see when her back was turned…
