Anlandana, 11 a. m., building in Salamentro of the Aguayo Group.
Carlos looked at the time on his phone and repressed the urge to call the girl, it was already late over there, don’t disturb her rest….
This damn time difference prevents him from calling the girls as he wants….
It’s been ten days since he left Salamonsa, and five days on the way back. The distance between the two countries is too great, and there are constant transfers, and when the weather is bad you have to be stranded.
Even though you have your own helicopter, it is not so easy to fly over other countries when you have to cross so many domains….
The idea of returning to never be separated from her again made Carlos feel a little happier….
Luckily, his grandfather’s condition had improved considerably during the trip. Mike was smart enough to learn “grandpa” once, and he remembered. With them, in the hospital he….
Victor should get over this hurdle for now…..
The transfer of the company from Teladia to Tomas was completed, and after a day of dealing with the matter, he left to go back to Salamonsa, where the girl could not leave and he stayed….
Tomas pushes the door.
-Brother, come on, let’s eat together, Ernesto and the others have already left.
Carlos nodded and got up to go together.
The couple went to the hospital to pick up Bianca before leaving.
Carlos got out of the car and looked at the hotel’s luxurious entrance, remembering the time the girl threatened to invite him to dinner, here, when she went out to answer a phone call and was dragged to the corner bathroom by the president.
It was also the day the girl told him:
I will raise you.
Carlos was overcome with emotion, here again today without the girl by his side, remembering every detail, but how many years ago….
The hotel manager knew that Mr. Carlos, who had not been seen for a long time, was coming to dine at Celotierra and was already lining up at the door to receive him.
The trio entered the private room they had reserved and there were Ernesto, Alba, Leonardo, Olivia, Antonio and Katarina, all looking forward to a quiet meeting without the children, although there was one person Carlos was not expecting, and that was Moises.
Sitting in the empty seat, Carlos looked at Moises and asked him:
-Why did you have time to come?
Since returning from Salamonsa, Moises has gone backstage to set up his own show business in Fracimon Nation, which is giving a lot to talk about and he must have more work now than when he was a model?
Moises said seriously:
-It’s rare that you come back, so even if you are busy, you should come and meet us. Speaking of which, I would like to thank you in advance, a great credit to Salamonsa, for solving the problems that have plagued Salamonsa for centuries, and for abolishing the previous system so that my mother can finally travel freely to and from Salamonsa.
Charles did not look proud at all and said indifferently:
-Thank you – he would apologize, the problem is not entirely solved either, heavy metal poisoning and people’s dependence on that kind of environment takes a long time to overcome and adapt.
Besides, my goal was not supposed to be to solve Salamonsa’s secular problems, but to be with Micaela any way I could.
There was a brief silence in the cabin. He had been through so much and given so much to be with Micaela, and everyone could see it. Even if they were far away, on the other side of the world, it didn’t matter, he just hoped they could be together….
Without much enthusiasm, Leonardo nodded approvingly:
-That’s the magic of love!
Laughter erupted as everyone brought their wives except Micaela from Carlos who was far away in Z. Alba asked curiously:
-Moises, where is your ‘colita’?
Olivia also let out a giggle and asked:
-Romina chased you, all the way to Salamonsa, all that way, why didn’t she follow you today?
Moises’ expression has a slight unnatural tinge to it…..
Ernesto has grown close to Moises since that walk a few years ago, and Moises’ attitude towards Romina, which he disliked very much, would have been indifferent:
-The girls get tired too, after so many years of persecution, the stones should warm up, but Moises’ heart doesn’t, he has given up.
The four women looked at each other with a few moments of regret in their eyes.
-What a pity…
-I thought she was going to do it…..
-Me too, though she was arrogant before, but she won’t be after, I think it’s pretty cute too yah….
-She gave up her dream of acting to pursue Moses and yet she persevered for so many years, this deep love and perseverance is really admirable…..
The women murmured less and less as Moises’ face grew harder and harder…..
Ernesto was going to continue irritating the people, saying in a loud voice:
-Some people just want to taste the sensation of ‘losing it before they know how to appreciate it’, what can we do about it?
Leonardo looks at Moises and does not miss the appointment:
-I was talking to Mr. Freixa the other day and I heard him talking about Miss Romina returning to acting and having the courage to not want her father’s support and make a name for herself.
Moises’ hand under the table tensed and he looked….
Alba took the floor:
-I’m afraid it’s a bit difficult, the entertainment industry is very mixed, don’t submarine yourself….
The waiter started serving the food and coincidentally Bianca was sitting at the table where it was being served. Tomas held out his hand to her and turned her around, then switched places with her and said:
-It’s hard to say, my sister-in-law got out of one piece because my brother protected her, Miss Romina would have been… without such a person to protect her.
They all look at Moises with intention….
Moises smiled, with a carefree expression on his handsome face.
-That’s her own choice, we have no right to interfere. By the way, for the record, she and I are impossible, and I’m happy to be clear when she doesn’t bother me .
There was a chorus of spitting all around:
-You better mean it!
-Be careful if she marries someone else, you won’t be able to cry!
-Don’t go overboard when the time comes to back out!
Moises grunted, looked away and said:
-Oh, the one who chases backwards is a dog!
Everyone was silent for a long while, unable to help but wonder if Moises’ heart was really made of stone.
Or was Romina really not his type, so everything he had done was useless?
Carlos frowned slightly and looked at Moises without speaking.
Antonio felt there was no point in continuing the conversation and looked at Carlos and asked:
-When are you going back to Salamonsa?
Only then did everyone stop talking about Moises and looked over there.
-Come back tomorrow.
Carlos’ cell phone, which was on the table, suddenly rang and Carlos looked at it to see that it was Micaela….
Salamonsa It’s after 11 p. m. and she’s still awake?
He got up and picked up the phone, stood up and walked away, taking it off the hook, and the girl’s voice was heard with a heavy sleepy tone:
-Carlos…
The tip of Carlos’ heart fluttered.
-Hmm? What’s keeping Micaela up so late?
The person on the other end of the line asked instead of answering:
-Carlos, when are you coming back?
The soft voice, full of dependence and longing, with a hint of tiredness, made Carlos’ heart ache and he wanted to fly to her immediately and ask, with a smile on his face:
-Does Micaela miss me?
-Well, so much so much so much….
That generous confession made Carlos feel more and more tempted, and he made an instant decision, raising his wrist to check the time and gently coaxing him:
-Good girl, you sleep first, I’ll be back when I’m done with things.
-Carlos, I’m so afraid….
Carlos didn’t really hear the last word, he knew the girl was falling asleep and he didn’t want to disturb her, he made sure the other end was quiet and the girl asleep before hanging up the phone, he came back and sat down, looked around at the group and said:
-I’ll leave as soon as I’ve eaten.
