When Micaela arrived at Barrio Fanslan, Sofia was already preparing dinner.
She greeted her and sat down on the sofa. I felt something missing inside at the thought that Carlos would not be back that night or for the next half month.
She missed him so much…
Too bad, she should wake her up that morning. I wanted to take him to the airport and see him some more….
Only a dozen hours passed, what to do for the next half month….
After dinner, Micaela went to the studio. He used to work here, so today she was going to draw designs here.
After throwing away a few sheets of paper, Micaela gave up. She wasn’t in the mood at all.
Instead, she had looked at the phone a hundred times.
All she could think was, why hadn’t Carlos called her yet?
Was he too busy?
She put the pen down. It would be better not to paint today.
After washing up, lying down on the bed, she felt very uncomfortable. She held Carlos’ pillow in her arms, his smell on this one made her miss him even more.
“How can I be like this, too dependent on him…”
“Well let him be, be that as it may, it’s him who spoiled me like this, I’m going to call him now!”
Then the phone rang immediately, a video call.
She instantly perked up and hurried to answer. Remembering that last time, when he was on a business trip, he sent her a video call in which he specified which pajamas she should wear, her face flushed. Would he do it again today?
She had no time left to imagine more. Seeing his beautiful face on the screen and his deep eyes looking at her, the words came naturally:
-Carlos, I miss you.
Carlos was violently struck in the heart.
It wasn’t the first time she had said she missed him, but it hit his heart every time. That enormous satisfaction cleared all his tiredness.
Seeing her little face, Carlos couldn’t help but tease her. He said in a low voice:
-How much do you miss me?
Micaela’s face turned red. Although she felt embarrassed, she decided to tell him her thought.
-I miss you so much that I can’t concentrate on my designs. The fact that you won’t be here for the next half month makes me wish the time would pass soon. And I find the bed too big without you…..
Carlos was very tempted…
Having said this, Micaela was even more embarrassed, then she hurried to change the subject:
-Are you staying at the hotel? Are you tired today?
According to the background behind him, it should be a hotel?
-I don’t get tired when I see you.
When he saw her…
His thought came back to him and his mouth overtook his brain:
-Do you want me to show you in that nightgown?
She reacted after asking, and covered her mouth immediately with a reddened face. “God, Micaela, you’re getting so cheeky!”
Carlos took a deep breath, and his eyes grew darker. Looking at the woman in the video, he wanted so badly to go back to her side through the screen.
-Are you trying to kill me?
She turned toward the pillow. She didn’t dare look at him.
Carlos said:
-Rest soon….
Hearing this, Micaela raised her head again and looked at the phone. Was he going to hang up the call?
In such a hurry?
It used to take him a long time to talk. Or he wouldn’t let her hang up so he could watch her sleep?
-Do you still have things to do?
Carlos looked at her fascinated and answered casually:
-Yes, there is still something important…..
The disappointment on her face became more and more evident. Her trembling eyelashes and her expression made his heart ache….
-Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon.
Micaela nodded, telling herself that she couldn’t disturb his work, she instructed him:
-And you too, don’t work all night…..
Carlos watched as her teeth scraped her lips, his breath caught and he nodded.
-All right, go to sleep now.
She hung up the phone, Carlos got up, picked up his jacket and made another call.
-Get the car ready, I’m going back to Teladia.
Diego’s jaw dropped.
It was the first stop on this business trip!
He had a very busy schedule afterwards. Numerous matters awaited him to deploy in the branch office and Diego took a long time to arrange everything within this half month. The gentleman was less and less eager to travel, while he found it more and more difficult to be a special assistant….
Leaving the hotel, Diego followed the president and plucked up the courage to ask:
-Well, why are you in such a hurry to come back all of a sudden?
-Micaela said she missed me.
Diego froze in the wind. Really? Was it really okay for him to be so capricious?
He knew the reason for the man’s urgency to return must be because of Miss Noboa. However, the two of them were so in love that they clung to each other like mollusks, was there ever a day when they didn’t miss each other?
This way, they won’t even think about visiting branches or anything like that in the future?
Carlos was already in the driver’s seat.
Diego panicked and said hurriedly:
-Sir, let me…..
It would take 3 hours to get back to Teladia on the highway, it was very exhausting….
-No, you drive too slow.
***
It was already 12 o’clock at night when Carlos arrived.
The room was lit by a dim lamp. Carlos sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her peaceful sleeping face, his heart almost melted.
What is the magic of this witch that makes him fall in love so uncontrollably…..
After washing himself, he lay down beside her and clasped her in his arms naturally. The woman hugged him right away and rubbed against his neck with her face, a smile of satisfaction painted on her face.
Carlos glanced at the mostly empty bed. The bed would turn out to be big, whether he was there or not, because the two of them only occupied half of the bed….
The next day, Micaela was stunned when she woke up in Carlos’ arms….
Carlos’ eyes were full of smiles. He gave her a soft peck on the lips.
-Good morning, Micaela.
Blinking, Micaela looked at Carlos and touched his face with her hand. Had he really come back?
She straightened up abruptly.
-Carlos, why are you coming back all of a sudden? You have a lot of places to go, don’t you?
Carlos grabbed her wrist and pulled her tightly back into his arms, then wrapped his arms around her back.
The low voice rang in her ears:
-You made me do it yourself.
Micaela pressed her hand to her chest with a look of injustice and shook her head.
-I didn’t!
Carlos grabbed her chin and stared at her with eyes full of sweetness.
-You said you missed me, that the bed was too big because I wasn’t there, and that you were going to show me off in that nightgown, wasn’t all that telling me to do something?
Micaela’s heart was racing and her face reddened. She unconsciously bit her lip….
GMG touched her lip with her slightly calloused thumb to free it from the bite. Her eyes were like ink and her voice husky.
-And you are tempting me with this action?
Then her lips covered it…
