Carlos tightened his arms and ran his nose behind her ear, the lovely fragrance gave him a little rush, recalling a very popular internet segment recently, and he asked playfully.
-Where’s weird?
The low, melodious voice was right next to her ear, and the warmth of his breath tickled Micaela, who frowned and tried to ask in her softest voice.
-Why do you have to follow me to the game? The company is too busy, Tomas is so busy, you can’t even get away, and I am perfectly capable of going on my own, I, I feel as if you….
Carlos’ excited movements stopped as he saw the girl frown and tilt her head slightly in an effort to describe the idea clearly.
-It’s like, cherish every second they can be together….
Then clear eyes rested on Carlos’ face and his voice lightened slightly.
-It’s clear that we are getting married soon and we only have each other in our hearts and there is not a single obstacle, however, you seem to have a nervous and sleepy feeling at night and you must hug me…..
Charles’ heart stuttered and twitched, the girl’s words spoke to his heart.
Although he had made preparations to go to Salamonsa to undo the girl’s “contract,” not even Moses’ mother could guarantee that it would be undone when he returned, so every time he thought of her, he wanted to be by her side every minute of every day…. …
He did not want to imagine the most horrible possibility, the possibility that after Salamonsa’s return he still could not undo the “contract” that when the time came, the girl would die poisoned like her mother, that image made his liver and guts break, but that possibility existed, so he loved her with all his strength and guarded her, and if the time left was already The countdown is on and he does not want to lose a minute, every second ….
These anxieties and fears he bears alone.
The restlessness in Carlos’ eyes flashed so fast that Micaela didn’t have time to catch it, his long fingers cupped the girl’s delicate chin and moved in for a firm kiss on the lips.
-I thought girls were going to tell me ‘you’re strangely handsome’ or ‘strangely attractive’ or ….
Micaela was instantly amused, and her bright smile made Carlos’ eyes warm, her long fingers reached up to the soft cheeks and squeezed them gently, her mouth smelling a little like a spoiled lecture.
-The girl is getting tired of me? Too annoying with me and too clingy for you? Hmm? A life is so long and I have to stick to you for so long and you’ve had enough?
Micaela cried more and more, leaning against his chest and leaning back to free herself from his hands.
-Carlos, you know very well that’s not what I meant!
Carlos pulled himself together and tightened his arms to pick her up.
-Girl, have you noticed? Every time you have an accident, that’s when you leave me.
Micaela pauses as her mind begins to wander….
(a) Her first near-accident was that car accident last year with Alba and Ernesto, and if Carlos hadn’t come back and taken her away temporarily, it would have been Alba and her in the car.
Then came the second time he himself was run over in a cab, then the gun attack organized by Natalia, and also the collapse of Nation Catyblaca just a dozen minutes after she left him, and a sword to the stomach by Adriana on stage….
Micaela winces….
Turns out she’s been through so many horrible things….
The girl’s natural reaction made Carlos’ mouth lift into a slight smile and he reached out to pinch her cheek again.
-Did the girl remember? Hmm? You know you’re afraid now? The wedding is coming up and do you think I’d let you get so far away from me?
Micaela’s eyes were full of disbelief, wondering if she was some kind of black body, was she possessed by Conan?
The girl’s naive reaction made Carlos love her more and more, and he pecked her lips again.
-So, based on past experiences, Micaela is only as safe as she can be under my watch, understood?
Micaela looks at Carlos and suddenly her heart beats a little faster, she is only safe in his presence?
Carlos sighed and rubbed his head.
-Nothing is comparable to you, and if in return I can watch over you and see that you come out unharmed, I’ll gladly do it, I’ll take care of the company and all that, you just have to be by my side, okay?
You just have to be good by my side…..
Micaela doesn’t remember how many times Carlos has told her….
Carlos’ thin lips came closer again and his muffled, hypnotizing voice sounded against her red lips.
-As for sleeping with you at night, my Micaela, you’ll have to get used to it, there’s no second choice…..
Micaela’s heart pounded at his teasing, her thoughts clouded for a few moments and she unconsciously tried to reach for his lips….
-Knock, knock, knock!
There was a knock at the door and Micaela hurriedly abandoned her embrace, she stood up and took a big step back, every time she tried to escape he caught her without hesitation and this time was no different, just as she raised her hand the door was pushed open from outside and Tomas entered.
Seeing some grimaces on his face, Carlos wrinkled his forehead and withdrew his hand.
Tomas, who was not expecting Micaela’s presence, also stopped his movements when Diego’s hurried voice sounded behind him.
-Mr. Tomas, Miss Micaela is also in….
Cara…
Er, it’s already late…
Diego glanced inside and, well, it didn’t seem to bother anyone, so he stepped back.
Big brother, sister-in-law.
Tomas waves and goes on his way.
Micaela, with a slight blush on her face, nodded and waved as well, remembering Bianca’s talk to herself the night before about how Elisa had finally blown her true intentions and that she was there to bother Tomas, and she couldn’t help but be a little worried about them….
Carlos asked directly.
-Wasn’t the collaboration case discussed?
Tomas loosens his shirt collar with some discomfort.
-Brother, Elisa is stirring me up, and it’s because of her that this case of collaboration is particularly tricky, before it was moderate and now it has returned to its original form, I’m really… What do you like about me? I’ll change!
Before boarding the plane, the words Elisa said to herself echoed in her ears.
-Tomas, I love you absolutely more, I love you ten thousand times more than that Bianca, she’s just using you as a substitute for your big brother!
-Tomas, if I can’t marry you in this life, I’d rather die!
She then clenched her fist in anger and, unable to bear it, shook his hand and said, “Then go to hell!
-Then go to hell!
Then he walked away, wondering if, with his crazy personality, he would really go to hell….
But right now, he had a more delicate matter to deal with his older brother than this Elisa affair, and he looked at Micaela and hesitated again….
Carlos knew what he was worried about and what he was going to say and, very calmly, he pressed the intercom.
Diego’s voice rang.
-Mr. Aguayo.
-There is a meeting in the small conference room in two minutes, so bring all the information you have been told to prepare.
Diego hesitated for a second and promised.
-Yes.
Carlos got up and approached Micaela, taking her hand naturally and looking at her with deep eyes.
-Will the girl wait for me here or will Raul take you to Alba’s house?
It was clear that he was going to talk to Tomas about the Salamentro contract, but Micaela had the vague feeling that Carlos was deliberately trying to deflect?
He was overthinking it, wasn’t he?
-I’m here for you…..
Micaela looked at him and spoke.
Carlos smiled and kissed her on the forehead.
-Mmm, good girl.
Then he let her go and went out first.
Tomas nods to Micaela and follows him out.
The small gathering was actually quite large and spacious, but in such a large room sat Carlos, Tomas and Diego.
Carlos is seated in the center of the main table, with Tomas and Diego sitting to the left and right.
Diego spreads out each of the documents he has brought, stands up and places them in front of Tomas.
Tomas, somewhat puzzled, glances at them unconsciously, quickly sits up straighter, leafs through several copies in a row and sits up with a pang, leaning on the table.
-What do you mean brother? Even if you go to Salamonsa, you don’t intend to come back?
