Micaela froze slightly, she was actually happy to see her wedding with Natalia ruined….
For a moment, I was moved by the fact that Carlos had forgotten about her, but also didn’t think of Natalia as her, but still unconsciously resisted her, and even more so by the fact that Alba, whose idea must have been to ruin the wedding with this prank….
By not allowing Natalia’s ploy to succeed, she is trying to help preserve the love that is hers, leaving Micaela desperate to know more about the last… of her best friend.
Carlos looked at the girl and corrected.
-She’s not my girlfriend.
The hot eyes looked at her and Micaela read it instantly, his eyes said, you are the one, making her heart flip, then a flash of anguish arose, if it hadn’t been for this accident, they both would have been married….
-Open your mouth.
whispered Carlos.
The woman looked at the orange in front of her and unconsciously opened her mouth and took it… er, very sweet.
The girl’s good looks filled Carlos’ heart with satisfaction.
Micaela swallowed her orange and tried to gather her thoughts, thinking of a question she should ask that she would be asked in a normal situation.
-Why are you happy? You don’t love her, why did you marry her?
Carlos continued to give her oranges, loving the feeling of feeding her.
-I’m probably sick.
Micaela froze and looked at him in surprise…..
Carlos spoke calmly.
-There was always a voice in my head telling me she was the woman I loved the most, but I couldn’t do the act of loving her, I didn’t want to be around her at all. Registry, the wedding is all ruined and I feel relieved….
Micaela has extraordinarily mixed emotions, he knows it’s all because Natalia hypnotized him, not because he’s sick, but he can’t say….
-I’m a little dizzy, so, will the person you’re married to agree? Won’t she drag you to register again, have another wedding and then forcibly move in with you?
Carlos raised an eyebrow.
-Do you think I’m dead?
-Huh?
-I have more than enough reason to turn her down.
Micaela sucked another tooth from the orange he was holding out to her and swallowed it with two quick chews, asking incredulously.
-How is it possible that I agree!
Knowing Natalia as he does, he won’t stop until he gets what he wants, so how can he compromise easily…?
-Well, then, I collaborated and gave her most of the access to the Aguayo Group.
Micaela looked at him with some confusion….
The girl’s eyes were full of confusion, and Carlos felt more and more heat inside him.
-She is a career woman, I can’t give her love but I can give her a career, Grupo Aguayo has more than enough motions to make decisions and collaborate for her to handle. Expanding the business circle, she is doing a great job.
In other words, it satisfies Natalia in another way, giving her a position of power, which she clearly prefers to love.
It is also thanks to Natalia that he can now go on a trip without the slightest worry.
-I don’t really like seeing her, and the times my assistant has summoned me to Teladia have been deliberately staggered with her, so there haven’t been many encounters with her.
With more power comes more responsibility, as she is not only the CEO of Grupo Aguayo, but also has to worry about Grupo Nunez, Nubcancion, which is no easier for her than it is for him, but she enjoys it.
He was well aware that Natalia was an ambitious woman, with a career, in a position of power in Grupo Aguayo, recognized by Victor, who lived in Nyisrenda, even if not publicly, but in the sense that she had conquered Carlos, and that even if she still wanted to get a license to make up the wedding, it would be difficult to pull it off again when he had deliberately avoided it, he knew Natalia hadn’t given up, but he didn’t want to commit himself either, and the thought of Natalia’s name being on his ledger made him resist.
Micaela was in no hurry to continue taking care of Natalia, more for Alba’s sake than for Natalia’s, and she immediately said.
-Well, what about Ernesto’s wife, as you said? How is she?
Carlos raised an eyebrow, thinking that he was worried that Natalia would retaliate, and explained.
-Ernesto will naturally protect his wife and children.
Children?
Micaela, startled, her heart bursting with joy, asked unconsciously behind her.
-Is she pregnant too?
Carlos’ eyes rested on the girl’s stomach.
-Well, the months are more or less the same as yours.
Then he frowned a little and popped the last orange tooth into her little mouth, too, with a few moments of certainty in his tone.
-I think you and she could be good friends.
Micaela’s heart is full of joy and sorrow, you were, well, good, good, good, good friends….
Great, Alba and Ernesto are married, they have a child, and Ernesto will be looking out for her whether she forgets it or not. Micaela is relieved now and wants to ask her other friends again, but can’t find an entry point….
The house was small, the couches were close together, and with Micaela deliberately sitting at this end, Carlos came over to stand next to her little head and asked quietly.
-Are the oranges sweet?
His eyes rested on her lips, the red lips that had tempted him for so long?
The proximity of the cool breath, the charmingly muffled voice and the depth of feeling in the eyes as deep as the sea, made Micaela’s heart turn over, forgetting what she wanted to say and knowing only to answer unconsciously.
-Sweet…
-I’ll taste it…
Three low words, infinitely seductive, Carlos’s large hands reached out and grasped the nape of her neck, his thin lips imprinted on….
Micaela’s heart beat faster and she slowly closed her eyes when the cell phone she had placed next to her rang abruptly, Micaela startled and unconsciously pushed it away.
Carlos is full of disgust…
Seeing that the caller was the airport service number she had just dialed, Micaela picked it up immediately, half-heartedly, with a twinkle in her eye.
-Well, okay, we’ll be right over to claim it.
Hanging up the phone and looking at Carlos, excited, she said.
-Carlos, your luggage was taken to the lost and found at the airport, you can still go and get it now.
With that, he quickly got up and went to hold his hand in a natural and unmistakable way.
-Let’s go, let’s take a cab.
Carlos looked at the girl leading him by the hand towards the door and felt a sudden sense of satisfaction and a slight doubt in his mind that the girl had also fallen in love with him at first sight, hadn’t she?
He did not experience even a hint of genuine resistance in his….
They took him by cab to the airport and claimed his suitcase without any trouble.
It was already late when we returned home.
Micaela finally realized a very serious problem with this house of hers, much like the house in Barrio Fanslan that was not remodeled at the time, with one bedroom and a shared bathroom in the living room and bedroom….
The thing is that there is only one bed….
Carlos didn’t think about it, closed the door and turned to look at her.
-Do you have international roaming on your phone? Lend me a call.
Micaela looked at him startled.
-You don’t know?
Carlos wasn’t sure.
Looking into his puzzled eyes, Micaela was sure he really didn’t know.
-Salamonsa does not have a national roaming network, neither telephone nor computer. Salamonsa is a closed country.
Carlos remembered standing at the airport gate, trying to book a hotel with his cell phone and seeing that he had no signal and it turned out there was no global network coverage?
Speaking of which, Micaela suddenly remembered that he said he was here for tourism, but there is no tourism in Salamonsa, and filling out tourism at the time of entry is rejected, so how did he, then, get in?
She realized that Carlos had forgotten about her and must have forgotten about the -Salamonsa gem project- that had been prepared for him….
-Carlos, what made you think of coming to Salamonsa?
Your starting point must have been to travel, but there are so many countries on earth and Salamonsa is so insignificant and, well, so far away?
Carlos remembered his own act of throwing the dart and admired the magic karma for a few moments, raising his hand to rub his head.
-It was providence that brought me to you.
