My Dear Mr. Nice

Chapter 37: Open the door, I'm at your door.

Micaela threw down her phone violently.

"Am I in love?"

Thinking about what Alba said, Micaela sat up violently.

"Yes! I just have to call and ask, there are so many things I want to ask him!"

Micaela found Carlos' number and dialed ....

Her heart raced, but the call went unanswered, there was no sound on the line!

"Well, I'm not ready yet either, never mind, never mind..."

Micaela felt a little disappointed and relieved. She put the phone down and hid under the covers.

-Beep... beep...

Suddenly, the sound of the phone being answered was heard....

Micaela got out of bed as if she had been electrocuted and looked at the phone in disbelief. The phone had been answered!

"I just hung up the phone, but it's not working because Ivanna hit it? What can I do, what can I do..."

Micaela holds the phone with a look of anxiety and confusion....

"If I hang up the phone right now, it seems weird to me."

Micaela was frantic as if she was holding a fire instead of a phone.

On the other side of the ocean, it was daylight this time.

A meeting was being held on the top floor of the MZ Building with all the branch general managers.

The large conference room was lavishly decorated, with a large oval table in the center and two rows of CEOs sitting at attention.

In the most prominent position was Carlos, who sat with one hand on his chin and a cold stare, listening intently to the meeting report in English.

The entire plush conference room was shrouded in an atmosphere of seriousness.

The blond man speaking was so nervous that his legs were shaking.

The chairman didn't need to get angry, he just had to look at him with those cold eyes and he would shiver!

"I'm unlucky today, the project is 0, 05 percentage points below the expected profitability..."

Blondie thought he was going to die a horrible death today....

Carlos' phone was on the clean meeting table.

His phone was on silent mode and the screen lit up when a call came in.

Carlos casually glanced at the number on it and immediately sat up.

He picked up the phone with one hand and made a silent gesture with the other.

The blond immediately fell silent at the sight of it, and the room went so quiet.

Carlos picked up the phone and answered it.

There was silence on the other end of the line as well, and then a woman's timid voice reached his ear.

-Carlos?

Carlos' heart suddenly sank, and a smile appeared on his face.

-What?

The CEOs gasped, as if they had seen a UFO.

"Our serious president is smiling? What's going on?"

That "how" was the softest sound they had heard from Carlos in all the years they had worked under him!

Carlos completely ignored the commotion in the room.

He could picture Micaela's sheepish face in his mind.

-Has, have you eaten yet? -With that, Micaela bit her lip even harder.

"What nonsense am I asking!"

-I've eaten, and you've come home? -Carlos' voice was low and elegant as a cello.

Micaela's heart, beating wildly, slowly calmed down and her hands gently tugged at the blankets.

-Yes, what are you doing? It's so quiet," Micaela asked, but then wondered, "Am I out of line asking this?"

Carlos stood up, ignoring the shocked faces in the room, and motioned to adjourn the meeting. He glanced at Diego, then picked up his phone and left the room.

The blond speaker was instantly and immensely grateful that the president had taken the call.

Compared to the others, Diego had been able to take Carlos' huge change with equanimity.

He stood up and made a summary of the meeting....

Carlos returned to his office, closed the door and answered.

-I'm in a meeting.

-Wow!

Micaela immediately thought she must have annoyed Carlos by behaving like that, she had just seen on the video that it was daylight at that time and was about to say then hang up the phone when Carlos beat her to it and said.

-It's over.

He stood in front of the window and asked quietly.

-Did you miss me?

-Yes!

Micaela came back to her senses. "What did I just answer?"

She immediately hurried to explain.

-No, Carlos, I, I....

Only to hear Carlos' low voice on the phone.

-Me too.

Micaela froze, suddenly shy, and picked up the phone and hid under the covers again....

The sweetness in her heart seemed like it was going to overflow.

After hanging up the phone, Micaela was still lost in Carlos' voice.

This strange emotion made her feel very happy.

It was clear that the two had only spoken for a few minutes, but a simple "me too" made her feel like she was sitting on a cloud....

"So this is what it feels like to be in love!"

Micaela rolled around in bed with her blanket, excited until almost 11 pm....

As she drifted off to sleep, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to ask Carlos why he hadn't agreed to add her as a friend....

Micaela fell asleep with a smile on her face, but as sleep deepened, her smile disappeared....

She dreamed that she was sitting in a dark corner, hugging her knees and crying so hard that her voice could no longer come out....

She knew she was dreaming, but she couldn't wake up....

"What's wrong, why am I so sad and depressed in the dream, the kind of pain I can feel even when I'm asleep, why am I crying, what have I forgotten?"

His head was blank, only sadness remained.

"I don't want to dream like this, I want to wake up..."

Micaela struggled, but her eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds too much to keep her eyes open.

Just as she felt she was about to lose her breath, suddenly a familiar sound came to her ears, a steady buzzing....

It was the phone ringing!

Micaela finally opened her eyes and let out a deep breath....

Micaela sat up and wiped the tears from her eyes.

The phone was still ringing on the bedside table.

Micaela picked up the phone and her eyes widened as she saw the name on it.

Carlos.

Micaela's heart was suddenly filled with emotion....

"You knew I was being chased by a nightmare and that's why you called to rescue me?"

Micaela's pale face returned to normal and she immediately picked up the phone.

-Hello, Carlos.

-Open the door.

Micaela looked sharply at the time on her phone.

"Three in the morning? What did you just say?"

-Open the door, I'm at your door.

Micaela suddenly burst into tears and, without even putting on her shoes, she turned on the lights and ran out....

As soon as the door opened, she was enveloped in a warm hug....
