My Dear Mr. Nice

Chapter 30: That thing about destiny comes up whether God wills it or not.

Micaela immediately thought of Carlos and her little face couldn't help but blush.

-You know what, I could have gone back to Mangzarent Nation with no trouble and without a trace, but last night my brother got a call that I was in a bar! Then, drunk, I was taken back by my brother.

Micaela took care to sit next to him and asked with a worried face.

-Did your brother scold you? Did he scold you?

-Not only did he not scold me, he even doubled my pay! Tell me honestly, who is this magical person? Why didn't my brother punish me? He just told me to go back to Mangzarent Nation and finish the rest of my classes?

Alba still remembered in her mind the morning when Mateo, completely unperturbed and making a meaningful comment, cleared his throat and, imitating his brother's tone, said to Micaela:

-You've done me a big favor by sneaking back this time, so get along with your best friend.

Micaela looked lost.

-Hey, this is what my brother told me, he got a call last night, from Mr. Ocampo! Do you know who Mr. Ocampo is?

Micaela did not answer, her mind remembered that the last time she was at the jewelry store, the vice president addressed the man wearing Carlos as Mr. Ocampo.

Seeing that he did not answer, Alba spoke to herself:

-My brother didn't tell me who Mr. Ocampo was either, but Mr. Ocampo told my brother that I was at the bar! And he told my brother to come pick me up!

Micaela looked at Alba with surprise and asked:

-And then your brother came?

-Yes, I remember seeing him, but I thought it was a hallucination.

Micaela resisted the urge to laugh and continued asking.

-And then what? Did you go back to your brother? And me?

-Yes, that's what I asked, I was so angry and said how could my brother leave my best friend in a bar like that!

Alba cleared her throat and continued to imitate her brother's tone of voice:

-It's thanks to her that you're here safe and sound! She has someone to protect her! Do you think you could have drunk yourselves so drunk if that person hadn't been protecting you?

Micaela froze, now that she thought about it, and last night, indeed, after Ivanna left, no one bothered them again!

The music in the bar had also changed to very soft tunes, as if it had been transformed into a lounge bar.

That atmosphere made him let his guard down and he drank too much without realizing it....

So, in fact, Carlos was at the bar the whole time?

-Well, dear Micaela, here's the question, who is that guy?

Micaela bit her lip, knowing she couldn't hide it anymore, so she had to tell him about Carlos briefly, from how they had met to the night before.

But she skipped scenes like the kiss last night!

-Carlos...

Alba raised an eyebrow.

-And he has a black card...

It would be that man, no doubt. It was no wonder Micaela had turned him down.

Alba was the miss of the Gilabert Group, which was a far cry from the Aguayo Group, but at least she was a member of the upper class and knew a little about the head of the three great families of all Teladia, the Aguayo family.

Carlos was rumored to be handsome, young and discreet, and he was not a ladies' man!

He had always been a myth of Teladia!

Now it seemed that he was indeed a ladies' man, only in the past he had never met Micaela.

Micaela looked at Alba and waited attentively for her to continue.

-It's all right, Micaela, don't be nervous.

Alba didn't understand what Micaela was thinking and what was bothering her, so instead of explaining who Carlos was, Alba said what she was thinking.

-That fate thing comes up whether God wills it or not, don't think about it so much, some people go their whole lives without meeting someone who makes their heart beat! I can tell you definitely have feelings for him.....

Alba saw her blush again....

It was all written all over her face. It looked like there was no hope for her to be his sister-in-law.....

She had fantasized countless times about being his sister-in-law in the future.

Alba took Micaela's hand and looked into her eyes.

-Just be brave enough to face your feelings for him, let yourself go with your heart, don't deliberately try to repress it and don't think about how it will end. And it's up to you to work together on the outcome or whatever, do you understand?

A man who was at the top of the pyramid and yet had zero scandals was in no way comparable to a playboy like Marcos.

Micaela felt that she was right, and even felt suddenly tempted to call Carlos....

But suddenly something occurred to her.

That flash of thought made her face, which had been pink, suddenly turn white....

-Micaela!

Alba's heart stuttered and she screamed.

She clutched her shoulders with a look of horror and hurried to change the subject.

-Micaela, my brother told me to come back to Mangzarent Nation this afternoon.

Micaela slowly came back to her senses, what had happened to her? She seemed to have forgotten something very important and she was about to remember it?

Alba, seeing that she was still ignoring her, got a little nervous and shook her shoulder hard.

-Since you've had Carlos, you don't even care about me anymore," she said.

Micaela finally heard the pimple, and the thoughts she had just had were immediately put to the back of her mind as she blushed slightly.

-No... Are you leaving this afternoon?

Micaela was immediately engulfed with the sadness of parting from her best friend....

Alba was secretly relieved.

Perhaps only Carlos could help Micaela in that matter.

But he was known for being discreet, maybe even Mateo wouldn't have his contact, so what was she to do?

Alba was secretly determined to find a way to contact Carlos privately.

-Don't miss me, I'm graduating in two months! Let's go to the graduation ceremony when I get back!

Micaela nodded vigorously.

The two talked some more about Adriana, Alba explained that she had to be on guard, until it was time to go to work, the two reluctantly parted ways. After saying goodbye to Alba, Micaela felt empty and had a little trouble adjusting for a while.

"Now I'll be able to face Carlos," Micaela thought.

Without thinking about any other external conditioning, just letting herself be carried away by her heart, without resisting his approach, even desiring it.... -Micaela, come in for a second! -said Kiki as she pounded on Micaela's desk.

It was then that Micaela realized she had been unintentionally distracted.

-Okay!

She stood up quickly and followed Kiki.

Seeing the office door close, the two women in the cubicle at the back immediately gathered around and whispered to each other.

She's just a pretty face, who knows if she's a plug-in!

-The manager treats her very well!

-Yes, but I don't like her!

-That order was returned countless times, let's see what she can do as a rookie.
