Alba looked at Micaela as if she was trapped in a sweet memory and immediately guessed that she was definitely thinking about Carlos and couldn’t help but tsk twice.
-Micaela, good thing I have a boyfriend too, otherwise I’d be so jealous of you!
Micaela blushed a little and told Alba briefly about her reunion with Carlos that night, including the phrase, Mi mujer….
Alba was filled with astonishment.
-Your destiny, really, I’m amazed!
That strange feeling in Alba’s heart for Carlos is fading and there is no more rancor when talking about him….
Micaela gathered her thoughts and stopped thinking about it, turning back to her desk to look at her laptop, she remembered that the USB memory stick was always connected to the computer.
It was a second-hand computer that no longer had power storage and had to be plugged in every time to use it, but, even so, she used it throughout her college days….
Huh?
The USB drive isn’t here?
Micaela looked at all the USB ports and there was no USB drive. She opened the computer bag again and checked it carefully, but it still wasn’t there.
Strange, how can it be missing?
Alba asked curiously.
-What’s wrong, can’t you find it?
-I remembered I had brought it and now it’s gone?
Alba didn’t flinch either and helped look in the drawer too, it really wasn’t there.
-Strange, did it get lost at some point?
It had been so long since she had graduated and her internship was at an appearance company, had she lost the flash drive after taking it there?
Both of them, extraordinarily disappointed, left the room and, as they passed the second floor study, Micaela wanted to go back inside.
The study smelled faintly of dust and Micaela blamed herself more and more for having left her parents….
She secretly decided that she would get someone to come and clean it regularly….
Alba looked at the densely ordered bookshelves and asked.
-Micaela, there are so many books here, it’s like a mini library, all these books, have you read them all?
Micaela looked at the books in front of her and suddenly remembered that she had come here during the Super Angel Contest and wanted to read a book, but she was interrupted by Adriana who came in and put the book on her site….
She looked for the book on the shelf and unconsciously replied.
-No, I think I’m about halfway through, I’ve been coming back less and less since I’ve been living in school, and then I’ve been busy with my part-time job and my major….
I found it!
The thick gold colored book, this was it!
Micaela pulled out the book, the cover was plain, no extra decoration, just four big words, Global Geography.
She turned it slowly, and always remembered that on the first page of the book, there was a map of the world.
Alba walked over and looked at it closely.
-My geography is invincibly bad, but we Anlandans keep finding the whole is…..
Micaela saw Anlandana at a glance and looked unconsciously for Salamonsa….
Sure, so far away, two extremes in general….
How did she get here, from so far away?
A plane, a car, a boat?
After learning he was from Salamonsa, he had casually checked flights and discovered there were no direct flights to Salamonsa in all of Anlandana and very, very little coverage of Salamonsa on the internet….
How isolated is Salamonsa?
But so isolated, but so rich in gemstones, and he loves jewelry design because he comes from that gemstone rich place?
What surprised her even more was that Carlos, who was also from Salamonsa?
Micaela couldn’t help but tell Alba that she found out in Salamonsa during New Year’s Eve, and Alba’s eyes widened in surprise when she heard.
-Carlos’ mother is from Salamonsa? Most likely his biological father is also from Salamonsa? Shit, that, that’s too much of a coincidence, isn’t it?
Micaela nodded.
-I even knew his mother when I was a kid….
Alba was even more dumbfounded.
So you met your future mother-in-law as a child, huh?
Micaela blushed slightly, but it seemed like it….
Carlos’ mother, and her own parents must have known each other?
-So Carlos hadn’t really bothered to research the origins of the two of you?
Micaela looked at Alba and shook her head slightly.
-He definitely looked into it, he just didn’t talk to me about it, and since he didn’t talk to me, he must not have made much progress, I didn’t want to think too much about it…..
He was thoughtful, he knew about Salamonsa from her grandfather, he knew he had known her mother when she was a child, there was no way he would leave her alone, and, to be arrogant, his own birth, he didn’t care much, because he had been born and raised in Anlandana, he had many relatives and a business empire of his own, who his real father was, he Didn’t care much about who her real father was, he cared about her….
Between her and Carlos there had never been a conversation about it, but she was very determined to find out.
It was just that Salamonsa was so far away and so closed, she had seen Salamonsa’s gemstone supply plan on his desk, that would be what she wanted to break into Salamonsa and prepare….
Carlos had thought of her in every way and did not want her to worry, so he had not spoken to her before moving forward, she understood all that and had no choice but to make his good intentions come true.
Alba is still full of amazement, these two people, both from Salamonsa, have also traveled half way around the world to meet in Salamonsa, what special destination is this?
Anlandana is big and Teladia is not small, but they just met and almost got lost several times?
The destination, it’s really wonderful…
The phone rings in her pocket and Alba hurriedly pulls it out, it’s Ernesto.
He picks it up and his smug voice comes on the phone.
-Amiga, I’m coming to pick you up and take you home, get out of there!
Alba knew his phone had a location and was linked to hers, so when he said get out soon, he must be downstairs.
-Understood, I’ll be right down.
Micaela closed the book and decided to take it with her.
The two went down together and looked outside, Ernesto’s car was waiting behind the one Raul was driving.
Micaela looked around the small garden, the weeds in the flowerbeds were growing very tall, and she became more and more distressed.
-Alba, you go back first, I’ll be here for a while.
Alba was a little surprised.
-What else do you want to do here? It’s empty here…
-Nothing, I’ll stay a bit longer, after all this is my old house.
Alba understood, Micaela was always sentimental, and seeing Raul standing, she was relieved to explain to hurry back and head for Ernesto’s car.
As she pulled in the passenger side, closed the door and turned around, Ernesto’s figure approached her. Alba was startled and unconsciously tried to push him away, both hands clasped around him.
-Honey, how long did you say it had been since you’d let me kiss you?
