Alba had been gone for ten days, but Micaela still hadn’t adjusted and was getting a little depressed every day.
As she thought about her and Ernesto going abroad this time, it was a trip with no known return date, she felt worried. She was afraid that she would forget about Ernesto during the trip and that she would end up returning unsuccessfully.
Carlos looked at the little girl who was curled up on the couch playing with her phone, stopped working, came out of the study, sat down next to her and took her in his arms.
Sure enough, he was looking again at the pictures Alba had sent him. He looked at them many times a day.
So he took the phone from her.
-Carlos…
Micaela raised her eyes to look at him and Carlos moved in to kiss her.
Carlos originally just wanted to distract her, but he didn’t expect to get so involved in the kiss that it would arouse sexual desire.
-Go upstairs.
Micaela still remembered that the occasion wasn’t right and muttered.
Carlos just wanted to stay here.
A video call rang and Micaela instantly snapped back to reality, pushing Carlos away and picking up the phone that had been left forgotten in the corner of the couch.
“It must have been sent by Alba!”
Carlos angrily pushed his phone away again.
-Give it back to me…..
Seeing that the buttons of Carlos’s shirt had come undone, Micaela blushed, looked down at herself and hurried to put her clothes back together.
Carlos watched the petite girl’s movements and restrained himself from pouncing on her.
Micaela quickly fixed herself before looking at him:
-Give me the phone.
-Do you want to show me your best friend?
The man’s voice was low and muffled. Micaela was a bit puzzled and, after a long moment, she looked at Carlos’ firm abs showing through his black shirt, blushed even more and buttoned him up.
Carlos raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, watching her small hands busy on his chest.
The tone of the video was still playing, and concerned about Alba’s anxiety over the wait, Micaela moved quickly.
-Done!
Carlos plugged it in and handed it to her. Ernesto’s voice came out of the phone:
-Don’t bother her. It’s nighttime in Teladia now.
Micaela blushed.
Alba appeared on the video, thickly dressed and wearing a red cap. At that moment it was daytime. They appeared to be outdoors in a park. The snowy white was especially beautiful.
-Micaela, hasn’t it snowed yet in Teladia? The snow here is already up to my knees, how beautiful! Next time you and Mr. Aguayo come to visit.
Micaela looked at Alba on the phone screen. She looked great and switched the camera to look at the surrounding landscape.
Carlos walked over and took a look. It was really a beautiful place, but….
-The year is coming to an end, and Carlos is busy at the moment, so he doesn’t have time to go.
Ernesto’s voice came, exactly what Carlos had in mind.
-Alba, is it cold there? -asked Micaela.
-It’s very cold. Look how Alba is dressed like a penguin,” answered Ernesto.
-Ernesto, you want to fight!
The phone screen shook as Alba grabbed a handful of snow and slammed it at Ernesto, making him scream and run away, and then she also nonchalantly rubbed snowballs together and crushed them. The phone filled with the sounds of the two playing.
Seeing that they both seemed to be in a good mood, Micaela was also pleased.
Carlos rubbed Micaela’s head.
She rested her head on his shoulder.
As she listened to their laughter, she felt relieved.
-Little girl, you’re worrying too much. They can take care of themselves and live their own lives.
Micaela looked at him, blaming herself a little for the way her recent condition had affected her work:
-I’m sorry…
She knew Carlos had been very busy lately, and his emotions must have bothered him as well.
She bent her neck and kissed his chin, assuring him:
-I won’t do it again.
-Micaela, I’ve seen it!
Alba’s flirtatious voice came from the phone.
Micaela was startled. Her phone was in her lap, and from this angle she could see the scene.
I can’t help blushing….
The banter between Alba and Ernesto came to an end. The two sat on a bench and were very intimate. In the scene, Alba’s face was rosy and Ernesto still had some white snow on his head.
-Micaela, don’t worry about me. Eric said you haven’t been in very good shape these days.
Micaela nodded:
-I was wrong, I’m not used to you being gone.
-I’m not by your side now, let Mr. Aguayo spend more time with you!
Micaela laughed:
-Good.
Carlos murmured close to her ear:
-I will always be by your side.
At that moment Ernesto said:
-Carlos, Javier is really capable. Everything is normal for the company in the last ten days, and besides, the profit has gone up several points. With him in the company, I have no worries.
Micaela froze. “Carlos has assigned Javier as temporary president of Ernesto’s company?”
Carlos also looked at Ernesto in the video:
-Well, he has the ability.
Javier was a person of strength, he had always known that very well, so signing that new contract was a sure win for Carlos.
The four of them talked for a long time. Micaela also finally felt completely calm and took the initiative to get into Carlos’ arms after hanging up the video.
-I’m sorry for making you worry these days.
Carlos hugged her contentedly and whispered in her ear:
-I understand.
He had long known that Alba was also a very special existence for Micaela. They had always been very close.
Alba had almost forgotten even her own brother, but she had not forgotten Micaela. With this emotion, Micaela was happy, grateful and joyful.
So she stayed by her side.
-Now you can’t be unhappy anymore, okay?
Micaela nodded earnestly.
-Even if they can’t find a cure, even if Alba ends up forgetting Ernesto, their process is beautiful. They try to minimize their regrets, and that’s a kind of beauty, you have to believe in them.
Micaela lit up and kissed him:
-I know. I shouldn’t be pessimistic, but believe in them. I hope Alba can overcome her mental block.
-Very well, I’m going to give you a reward,” she said, pouncing on the little girl.
Micaela struggled:
-Up the stairs.
-No, right here.
