Suddenly, Carlos sketched a smile and took the girl into his arms.
-I’m so relieved that Micaela is okay.
She had a program to go through and a design to draw, so it couldn’t affect her, Carlos told himself, such a wonderful person, that kind of thing, it wouldn’t happen to her!
Micaela didn’t mind being shy and went over to him to hug him tightly.
-I’m very well, don’t get into your head.
Carlos laughed a little, before he was the one to reassure Micaela so she wouldn’t get carried away with her thoughts, now it was the other way around.
So as not to upset her in any way, Carlos released her, looked at her with deep eyes and rubbed her head.
-Well, I was overthinking it.
Micaela looked at Carlos with a determined look, which should have reassured her, and she felt relieved.
She had guessed that Carlos would surely take it upon himself to physically examine her again, since her Salamonsa mother had been poisoned with some kind of Salamonsa poison, which had resprouted after many years, and Carlos, being so cautious, surely couldn’t resist associating her with it….
Micaela had been a little worried that she might have the same kind of poison in her body, but she knew her own state of health very well, so she shouldn’t have.
She was relieved to have had such a detailed examination today and to have seen the test results.
Alba remembered, after the fact, what Micaela had told her about Carlos’ mother a few days earlier, and after carefully tying up loose ends, it occurred to her why Carlos was so nervous….
Carlos was very, very devoted to Micaela, and his parents would be immensely comforted to see that in heaven, wouldn’t they?
An unsure Ernesto watched as Carlos showed his love again and rolled his eyes.
-Carlos, do you know how scary you are when you are serious? I wondered if Micaela had some kind of terminal illness that made you so upset.
Alba gives Ernesto’s arm a squeeze.
-Fuck you!
Ernesto dodges…
The group said goodbye to Wade, left the hospital and left for the hotel.
Ernesto turned on his phone and started looking for interesting places to visit.
-Girlfriend, how about looking for a place to go and have some fun? When we came to Fracimon Nation before, we went to see the lavender, we went to the amusement park, we went to the haunted house, and we went on the sea gondola, now what do you want to do?
Micaela sniffed and remembered all those good memories, all still fresh in her mind?
Carlos also remembered the time he took Micaela to the haunted house, and the days that followed, she clung to him as soon as it got dark, which made him incredibly nostalgic….
Alba had a sincere look on her face.
-I’m going to go shopping and have a good meal!
Halfway through the day, there was no more interest.
-No, I’d better go back to the hotel and keep drawing the design, the deadline is shorter than ever this time and I can’t waste time.
Micaela nodded.
-This time it’s too tight?
Diego asked immediately.
-Sir, do you need me to ask the organizers to postpone the date?
Micaela was quick to answer.
-It’s not necessary!
With a glance at Carlos at her side, for the umpteenth time, she explained.
-Don’t give us a back door, we do everything according to normal procedures.
Diego was full of gratitude.
For competitions big and small, the Mr.’s word is all that is needed to solve many problems, but Miss Micaela doesn’t make it special….
Ernesto flirted with.
-Micaela, people like you are really extinct. In today’s society, who can be in a position to take shortcuts through connections and not take advantage of them? You have such a powerful and connected person by your side, and you follow all the normal procedures?
Alba looked at her boyfriend blankly and squared her shoulders.
-We, Micaela, can rely on our appearance, but even more on our strength!
Carlos’ mouth quirked up in a smile of approval at her words and, looking at Micaela, he asked.
-Not delivering the design on time is considered a forfeit, are you sure you can do it on time?
Micaela nods seriously.
-That’s fine! Even if we don’t finish as planned, that’s my problem, we can’t affect the competition rules because of us!
Carlos rubbed his head and quietly spat out the charming two words.
-As you wish.
Micaela was a little embarrassed, Ernesto wasn’t convinced, and Carlos is definitely a pro when it comes to showing affection!
As soon as the door closed, Carlos took the girl in his arms, and his thin lips approached hers, kissing her delicately, tenderly and affectionately, causing the girl’s legs to falter and she was hugged tightly by Carlos.
With his breath catching in his throat, Carlos stopped in his tracks and watched as Micaela opened her eyes, so full of water that it took all his strength not to continue kissing, and in a muffled voice he explained to her:
-Don’t force yourself to draw, go to sleep if you have no ideas, I’m going to the branch to take care of things, I’ll be back in the evening to take you out to eat.
Micaela nodded with a red face.
Carlos let her go and turned around to leave, closing the door behind him.
Diego is already waiting at the door.
-Sir, Eric said Mr. Moses is still rehearsing and won’t be available until later.
Carlos nodded, without having contacted him beforehand, indeed, without being thoughtful, when the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and when he pulled it out, it was indeed Moses.
Carlos stopped in his tracks and picked up, and Moises’ voice, somewhat surprised, came through.
-Mr. Aguayo wanted to see me?
Carlos affirms bluntly.
-Yes, are you free?
Moises considered Carlos a friend for a long time and did not hesitate to say so:
-If I can get you to come see me personally, I have to be available even if I’m not.
Carlos’ mouth quirked into a smile and, for some reason, he suddenly thought of Micaela and Bianca, who, at first, had been lovers, but now had become sisters-in-law, not to mention good friends.
He and Moses, who had also been lovers, became friends thanks to Micaela.
The appointment was arranged and Carlos set out immediately.
-Diego, the branch meeting has been delayed and will be discussed at a later date.
Diego is more than calm, there is nothing to overtake Miss Micaela in the queue.
It is the branch managers who are going to cry, anxiously waiting for the big boss to come and repeatedly postponing….
In an attempt not to take up too much of Moses’ time, Carlos offered to go to a coffee shop near the gangway.
Moses arrived first and reserved a private room.
As soon as he sat down, Carlos asked.
-Has the leg recovered?
Not only did Moises pause, but Diego was dumbfounded to see that our Mr. Aguayo, did he care about anyone other than Miss Micaela?
Moises scratched his head a little and said, unnaturally.
-Erm, well, no more questions, thanks to Sr. Aguayo for arranging for my family doctor, and to the rehab doctor, very authoritative, by the way, if it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t have been able to get back to my normal work and life so quickly.
Although I was considered to have contacts, I really hadn’t found a doctor with so much experience.
Carlos’ next sentence was even more frightening.
-Moses, you can call me Carlos.
Diego unconsciously squeezed his arm and snorted in pain.
You can call the Lord by his first name and count on ten fingers the number of people who can point to him?
It seems to have made the problem too easy….
Moses was a bit confused and speechless at being treated so kindly by the formerly genial Carlos, but he didn’t beat around the bush and accepted his kindness.
-Carlos, you crossed me out on purpose, is there something you want to talk to me about?
Carlos nodded slightly and also got straight to the point.
-I heard that your mother is also from Salamonsa?
