Without pausing, Inhue answered immediately.
-Natalia has gone out and is not at home, Mr. Aguayo, has Natalia provoked you again? I will talk to her when she comes back….
Inhue’s voice had a tinge of sincerity and fear, and Carlos had no intention of dealing with him, certain that if Natalia could say so categorically that the assistant could prove she had been in the office the day before, then her father must also have communicated beforehand.
Without further ado, Carlos hung up the phone and dialed Diego.
-Send someone to Jerala immediately and keep an eye on Natalia’s whole family, Javier was picked up by her.
Diego was a little surprised, but didn’t question it and agreed immediately.
Carlos hangs up the phone, looks at the worried girl and takes her in his arms.
-As you said, Javier was taken by her, but there is nothing to worry about, no life will be in danger, you just focus on preparing for the game and don’t think about it, huh?
Micaela felt his familiar scent and nodded.
Carlos rubbed her head and analyzed with her.
-Natalia took Javier for a very simple purpose, he was going to make a difference, Javier was her weakness and she was worried that I would turn against him so she got rid of him early…..
After a pause, Carlos’ eyes became extraordinarily clairvoyant….
-And he’s going to do something about it because, well, he knows we’re getting married soon…..
Carlos frowned slightly, the news that he and the girl were about to get married had not been announced to the public, so how had she heard about it from as far away as Jerala?
Micaela bit her lip and didn’t think like Carlos.
-Carlos, I’m not worried if Javier is really taken by Natalia, I’m just a little curious, if she likes Javier and cares so much about him, and as you told me before, the two of them are confirmed boyfriends, why this obsession with you?
And choosing this day on the eve of your wedding to do something about it, in order to influence your wedding date?
Micaela has an uncomfortable sour taste in her heart?
Carlos looked at the girl and answered with a very Ernesto-like response.
-She’s sick, isn’t she!
Micaela has a little smile and a slightly unnatural expression on her face….
Carlos’ long fingers cupped her chin and lifted her slightly drooping head, with a smile in his deep-set eyes.
-Is the girl jealous?
With a blank mind, Micaela simply admits.
-Yes!
Carlos was a little surprised by the girl’s frankness and his thin lips lifted into a smirk as he leaned in and kissed her on the lips.
-Micaela will soon be Mrs. Gu, what’s there to be jealous of, eh?
A large hand took her small one and pressed it to his heart.
-Or aren’t you aware that you’re the only one living here?
Micaela’s voice was so seductive that she hugged him and buried her face in his shoulder.
She knew, of course, that Carlos was only thinking of her and Micaela’s heart beat a little faster thinking about his plans for 3 days later….
Natalia, I won’t give you the chance to think about Carlos again….
The girl kept silent and Carlos guessed she was shy, he squeezed her arm even tighter and stroked her long hair with one hand.
-Don’t worry, I’ll take care of these problems, don’t affect our rhythm, rest soon, tomorrow we have to get up early.
Carlos dropped a kiss on her forehead and whispered.
Micaela nodded; indeed, it was the crux of the competition and she could not be bothered for anything.
Carlos methodically dealt with the Javier incident, which was not found, and Natalia was lost together, making it even more certain that it was Natalia who had taken Javier.
It was the certainty that Javier was indeed in Natalia’s hands that made everyone worry less about him. With the race looming and Carlos still preparing for his big proposal, no one, and nothing, could affect his progress in the matter.
While he had men to find Natalia and Javier, he had more men to protect Micaela, and whatever Natalia wanted, he had only one thing on his mind, to protect his girl.
Three nights later, the long awaited finale of the World Modeling Contest ended with a standing ovation and the exciting announcement of the results.
Eric also has a major presence in the modeling world, so he was chosen to sit as the guest of honor in the special guest seat.
Alba and another junior assistant, along with the other models’ assistants, stood backstage in front of the huge monitors, each watching the models on stage with extra nervousness.
The monitor screen was large and divided into six squares, with the models on stage, the audience, the judges, the guests and an online voting screen, and Micaela’s voting line kept going up.
Alba looked at Ernesto, who had flown in two days before her, and then at Carlos, who was sitting at the judges’ table, and thought about plans for later, and couldn’t help but feel extraordinarily excited, her eyes darting back and forth between Micaela and Gu Leng Han, whose anticipation was simply greater than the announcement of the contest results.
-Micaela, let’s see who moves faster, you or your family Carlos?
The young assistant looked at Alba with an auntly smile and asked curiously.
-Alba, what are you laughing at?
Alba patted her on the head.
-Quiet, the exciting moment has arrived!
Yes, it was an exciting moment, and Carlos could not contain his excitement as he looked at the girl on stage. Considering that it was a competition after all, he deliberately put the proposal part at the end of the competition.
Micaela’s victory was already beyond doubt, as the jury awarded her the highest number of points and the online voting beat the runner-up by more than 100. 000 votes, but the audience erupted in applause and cheers when the presenter announced that the winner of the World Model Contest was Micaela, from Anlandana.
The ceremony began with the awarding of prizes one by one from lowest to highest, the winners gave their speeches and after ten minutes it was the turn of the winner, Micaela.
-Next, we have our winner presenting the award, who is a representative of successful entrepreneurs, a sponsor, a judge and a special guest, guess who it is?
There were two hostesses on the floor, who put the passage in Chinese and English, and there was a chorus of chants from the stage.
-Mr. Aguayo!
-Mr. Aguayo!
Micaela’s eyes sparkled with surprise, was Carlos giving her an award?
Only the slender figure of Carlos stood up and calmly walked up to the stage, looking only at her with his deep eyes as he took a step forward.
Carlos stepped in front of the girl and took the trophy and certificate from the tray, handed it to her and personally put the red shawl representing the winner and the diamond crown on her.
The two were full of love for each other….
No one doubted the fairness of the contest, since Carlos, as a judge, had given up his right to vote and score….
Micaela’s face reddened as she looked at the handsome man at her fingertips, her heart beating too fast for words.
Carlos looked affectionately at the girl in the crown, then took a few steps back, without leaving the stage, and looked at Ernesto on the stage, who gave him the OK gesture.
Carlos’ mouth lifted in a slight smile as he looked at the girl, and when she finished her championship acceptance speech, it was time for him to propose marriage….
Micaela handed the object in her hand to the stewardess next to her, then took the microphone and held it with both hands to her lips, looking around at the tens of thousands of spectators and fans below, and spoke slowly.
-Thank you all for your support and love, for getting such a good result today, first of all I would like to thank Brillantella, for giving me a platform to grow, and my teacher Eric, who has taken me step by step to where I am today…..
Eric in the guest seat was in tears of emotion….
Micaela also looked at her bucket of fans with slightly reddened eyes.
-I would also like to thank all my fans who have supported me, many of them have followed me all the way since my audition, I am very excited and I really thank you, my success today I owe it to all of you too, I love you all!!!.
She then extended her left hand and made a heart gesture towards the fan plaza, and another burst of shouts was heard from the floor, as fans responded loudly to her by saying.
-Micaela, we love you too!
Carlos looked at the girl with a smile on his lips and told himself not to be jealous, that a girl’s love for a fan was not the same as her love for him!
As expected, he was next, and no doubt he was the one who was going to say it. True to her style, the girl raised the microphone, turned it slightly and looked towards him, softening her voice a little.
-I would also like to thank my boyfriend Carlos….
Micaela was already nervous and took advantage of the applause to adjust her mood, her hands were shaking a little, it was the first time in a long time that she was so nervous.
The scene calmed down little by little, Micaela looked into Carlos’ deep eyes, separated by a few steps, the two gazes intertwined in the air, and everyone on the stage felt the sweetness between them….
The girl’s gaze seemed to have a deeper meaning, and a sudden thought came to Carlos’ mind, and before he had time to think about it, he heard the girl’s beautiful voice coming through the microphone to his ears and to the world.
-Carlos, I love you, will you marry me?
