The next day, the old man got up early and sat down on the guest sofa to read the newspaper. Not long after, Carlos also came downstairs, very well dressed.
The old man put down the newspaper, glanced at his grandson and muttered under his breath:
-Why are you up so early? You should stay with Micaela, sleep a little more and “work” hard. It will be great if you can have a baby next year.
Thinking about Mica’s false pregnancy yesterday, Carlos was a little speechless.
Before, he hadn’t been in a hurry to have a child because he still wanted to spend more time with Mica, but after yesterday, without knowing why, deep down, he began to have the thought of having a baby with the woman.
Sitting down in front of his grandfather, Carlos said:
-Grandpa, you can come back to Salamentro after breakfast, and I’ll bring Mica back home a few days later.
Carlos’ tone was as cold as ever, but the old man was very glad to hear what he said.
“At last Carlos is willing to return to Salamentro for Christmas!”
The old man nodded enthusiastically, thinking that Christmas was only a few days away and that he would have to return to give proper instructions to the servants to prepare to give a welcome to the young couple.
Not long after, Micaela also came downstairs. The old man was in good spirits and wore a kindly expression on his face, which had always been very stern. At the table, Micaela was talking to him smiling, and the winter sun was filtering through the window spilling all over the dining room….
Looking at this harmonious scene between the old man and the young woman, Carlos could not help but draw a happy smile.
Thanks to Mica, he had the courage to face that past.
After breakfast, the two accompanied the old man to the gate and said goodbye to him. The car the old man was in was slowly driving away, and Carlos took the woman in his arms.
-What’s wrong?
The sudden embrace left Micaela a little disconcerted.
Carlos kissed her softly on her well-painted lips, his eyes full of love and tenderness, and spoke softly:
-Mica, I love you.
Micaela blushed a little at his loving confession and also embraced him, regardless of the curious looks of the servants.
-Shall I accompany you to the office? -suggested Mica.
Carlos, naturally, was very happy that the woman offered to accompany him to the company.
Soon the two of them arrived at the office, but Mica stayed in the break room attached to Carlos’ office chatting casually on her cell phone with her friends, without interacting much with him. Carlos felt happy and motivated at the thought of having Mica in his own office and being able to see her whenever he wanted, and he became much more efficient at his job.
However, the premise of all this was that Micaela was in the break room. Every time she came out, Carlos couldn’t help but unconsciously glance at her. During a single hour, she had left the break room three times, and the man found it difficult to concentrate on work.
Carlos left his signature pen on the table, got up at once and walked into the room.
Micaela had her back to the door and was leaning on the official table with both elbows. On the table, there was a piece of paper, a charcoal pen and her cell phone. The moment the phone’s screen locked, Carlos saw the name on the top of the phone: KIKI.
Carlos sketched a slight smile, leaned over and hugged her from behind.
Micaela froze, turned her head and precisely Carlos’ thin lips brushed her cheek.
Micaela blushed instantly, and Carlos’ deep voice rang in her ears:
-Mica, I helped you aim.
“What!”
Micaela was stunned.
“Does he know what I’m thinking?”
Next March, a jewelry design contest would be held in Teladia. And almost everyone who worked in the design industry wanted to participate in it, because it was a good chance to test their skills.
KIKI had just contacted Micaela, asking her if she wanted to try out, and then she had been tempted.
If she didn’t enter the final, it wouldn’t conflict too much with her current work schedule, so she wanted to try the opportunity and had left the room several times with the intention of discussing this with Carlos, but seeing that he was so dedicated to work, she didn’t want to interrupt him, thinking to bring it up with him when it was time for lunch. However, she hadn’t expected that the man had helped her sign up.
Micaela stood up excitedly, and asked in a cheerful voice:
-Carlos, did you sign up for the jewelry design contest for me!
Carlos nodded slightly.
Micaela was overjoyed and stretched her arms out to hug him. Carlos reached over and took her in his arms.
Micaela was very touched by how thoughtful Carlos was and asked in a cheerful voice:
-How did you know I wanted to enter the contest?
-How did you know I wanted to participate? Carlos… thank you very much…
Micaela stammered not knowing how to express her happy emotions.
Carlos looked at such a happy Mica and asked in turn:
-Are you so happy that you don’t know what to say?
Micaela nodded her head.
Carlos pressed his forehead against hers, and said in an attractive voice:
-At this right moment, you can confess your love to me…..
Micaela smiled even more and cried out loudly:
-Carlos, I love you so much!
Very satisfied, Carlos gave her a few kisses on her red lips, and his voice became a little sexier:
-Honey, loving words are not enough, eh? You must physically show how much you love me…..
Micaela turned away from him, her little face flushed, and said:
-Carlos, don’t be so malicious!
Carlos finally decided not to play any more devilish jokes on her, settled her in the chair and sat down in front of her. Then he explained:
-Actually, I am the major sponsor of this design contest and I want to make the competition easier for you. The competition is divided into preliminaries, semi-final and the final, and I want you to enter the semi-final directly, and then enter the final with your own abilities.
Micaela froze, and shook her head after a while.
-Thank you, Carlos, but I want to start from the beginning like all the other contestants.
-Mica, I don’t want you to get too tired.
Micaela looked at him with expectant eyes and said:
-I will never get tired doing what I like. Carlos, I don’t want to go to the contest under Micaela’s name because I don’t want the fairness of the contest to be affected by the fame I have now.
Carlos could never say no to Micaela and had to nod.
-Well. There are still three days left for the presentation, so don’t rush and take your time to draw your work.
Micaela nodded, got up and dragged Carlos outside.
-Go and do your thing, I promise I won’t go out and interrupt your work. I need to concentrate on looking for ideas.
Carlos took the woman in his arms and kissed her on the lips without her being able to react.
After a long while, he reluctantly released her and said:
-Mica, you can leave whenever you want. I like to have you by my side.
