Antonio was in a meeting and was extraordinarily surprised to see the phone screen light up and that it was actually Katarina, the first time in half a month that she had taken the initiative to call him!
He didn’t care that he was now in a meeting and picked up immediately without hesitation. Before he could make a sound, he heard Katarina say she would be right back and he got up excitedly, and the group of managers in the meeting downstairs was instantly startled.
Antonio left the meeting behind and marched straight to his office.
Katarina, on the other end of the line, hesitated for a moment, but could not resist the desire to see him and asked.
-May I?
-Of course! There is a flight from Yakydiza to Teladia in exactly one hour, I’ll reserve a seat for you.
He knows by heart all the flights to and from Yakydiza and is eager to book a ticket every day to fly to Katarina….
Halfway through, Antonio paused violently, his heart racing.
-Katarina, is something wrong? Why are you coming back all of a sudden?
Obviously, he missed her very much, but he was a little uneasy about her sudden return….
Katarina’s voice rang on the other end of the line.
-No, not much, just, I came back to see….
Antonio was relieved and filled with anticipation.
-Ok, I fly in an hour, still plenty of time, don’t panic, take your time…..
Raising his hand to look at the time and projecting when the plane would land, he said.
-I’ll pick you up at the airport at 1pm, take care.
Katarina hung up the phone with a hushed reply.
Antonio was delighted and could not wait until one o’clock.
Katarina is slowly accepting him, although she is still very unrestrained, a bit different from her previous confident and calm appearance, but now she is a girl with awe, but he can’t help but get close, and from time to time due to her heart beating faster, it also makes him fascinated by her….
The assistant pushed the door open.
-Mr. Antonio, the conference is still waiting for you?
Antonio nodded, which reminded him of the interrupted meeting, and immediately turned to leave with his assistant.
As soon as his front foot was outside, the door to the living room of the office was flung open from the inside and Fabiana stepped out grimly….
At 12 o’clock they stepped off Carlos’ private plane Micaela, Ernesto, Alba, Eric and another assistant who had just returned to Teladia at that moment.
The plane landed on the top floor of Grupo Aguayo and Eric and his assistant returned first, with some advice from Eric on the way out.
-Micaela, get some rest, don’t be nervous, relax don’t think about anything for the next two days and watch your diet regularly…..
Micaela nods seriously.
-Eric, I know, don’t worry, you also go back and get some rest, I see you have also lost a lot of weight.
She said looking at Alba, and another assistant who accompanied her, the three of them had lost a lot of weight from running with her….
Eric was thrilled that Micaela was so attentive, and the assistant was thrilled that Micaela was the most beautiful model, with the best character and the best temperament she had ever seen.
Alba held Micaela with one hand and squeezed her eyes.
-Micaela I have to thank you, my wedding dress got a centimeter smaller because of the waist, I couldn’t tuck it in without slimming it!.
Micaela smiled, full of gratitude for the dedication of everyone around her.
After leaving Eric and his assistant, it was time for lunch and Diego had already had a delicious meal brought to him beforehand.
After eating and sitting on the sofa for a while, Ernesto wanted to take his girlfriend, who was determined to leave him, right away.
-Ernesto, pick me up when it gets dark, I want to be with Micaela!
Go to the office with him, he has a lot to deal with too, she is bored alone and, he has something to tell Micaela now….
Ernesto reached out to clasp her hand in his arms.
-Enough, there is no shortage of light bulbs!
Carlos said suddenly.
-Ernesto, come with me for a moment and let’s get on with the business of the south island.
Ernesto froze for a second, the wedding was getting closer and closer, and the wedding setup in the south was being followed in orderly fashion, so it wasn’t as if Carlos didn’t know about it.
The wedding venue and all that hasn’t been told to the two brides yet, they all think the southern island is another engineering project….
Carlos looked at the girl and explained.
-Come in later and get some sleep.
Micaela nodded and Carlos and Ernesto got up and left.
Alba immediately went to Micaela’s end and said cheerfully.
-Micaela, I just turned on my phone and guess what I saw?
Micaela made a curious face.
-See what?
Alba took out her phone and handed it to her with a couple of taps.
-She must have sent it to you too.
Micaela took it, only to see on her phone screen a chat with Katarina, which read.
-Alba, I’m back, I’ll be in Teladia at one o’clock, let’s have dinner tonight!
Micaela was instantly surprised, then her eyes filled with joy as she grabbed Alba’s hand.
-Great! Katarina finally figured it out?
Alba nods vigorously.
-She must be! Didn’t you tell us earlier that Antonio had turned to her and that she felt she was going to lose control of her heart? This must be the moment she finally decides to follow her feelings.
Micaela is delighted, it’s great news, she and Antonio, finally not torturing each other?
continued Alba.
-We were on the plane when she sent us the message, this will be it, she is on the plane?
Micaela had already guessed what Alba was going to say, she looked at the time on her phone and, excited, lowered her voice to interrupt her.
-We’ll pick Katarina up at the airport and surprise her, won’t we?
Alba nodded excitedly.
-Yes, yes, yes!
Micaela also nodded vigorously.
-Yes, let’s sneak in!
While the two women plan a surprise for their best friend, Carlos also plans a surprise for his girl.
In the conference room, Carlos leans back against the back of his seat languidly, looking at Ernesto.
-Have you proposed to Alba?
He remembers seeing Alba with a ring on her hand.
Ernesto nods smugly.
-Exactly.
Immediately it also occurred to him what Carlos wanted to do, and both eyes lit up.
-You’re thinking of proposing to Micaela? You want a creative idea? You want my advice? Let me tell you that I proposed to her on her birthday, I went and custom made her a box exactly like the makeup remover she used and hid the ring inside, she opened the box and was so surprised, I still remember it to this day!.
He excitedly shared his idea with his best friend and then, with a very confident look on his face, stood up and bragged.
-Proposing is a necessary formality, look at you, you’re about to get married and you haven’t even proposed yet, you’re so careless! First of all, it must be a special day, to make it seem more special, and then, it must be unexpected, to make it seem like a surprise….
Carlos interrupted him.
-The day she and I propose to each other, whatever it is, will be a special day.
The most mundane day will become significant because of his proposal.
-Indeed, that day was, well, something special.
Ernesto paused, dumbfounded for half a second, leaned over, looked at him and asked.
-Actually, you already have an idea, don’t you?
Carlos nodded, motioning for him to sit down.
-There are some things that need your help and cooperation, Alba’s part, and you communicate with her, as long as she is sure to maintain confidentiality.
Ernesto was a little shocked that this, the Carlos in front of him was not at all the Carlos iceberg he remembered, he had actually unearthed a proposal idea and was curious enough to ask.
-What do you want to do?
The corners of Carlos’ lips lifted slightly, as if he was thinking about that image, that moment of happiness, and the expression on his face softened, for a long moment, before he spoke.
-I’m going to propose to Micaela on the day of the awards ceremony, during a live worldwide broadcast, and let the world know that Micaela is going to marry me ….
