My Dear Mr. Nice

Chapter 43: Welcome to Master James!

Micaela and Ana unconsciously stop and look at Antonio.

Antonio took Katarina's arm and explained, a bit anxiously.

-His clothes are definitely not authentic! I went to see Master James myself, how could I have made a mistake?

Antonio scanned the area and let his eyes fall on Micaela.

-Besides, she is the adopted niece of Familia Elvira, a humble person, so how could she possibly have an authentic one from GIBIERRE! -Antonio spoke with conviction.

Because he had seen a picture of this woman in his brother Marcos' room.

"This woman is clearly Marcos' girlfriend of three years! They broke up not long ago! Anyway, there's no way she has this limited edition GIBIERRE dress!"

Micaela frowned. As soon as she entered the store and saw Antonio's face, she had vaguely guessed that he was Marcos' brother, she had expected to find him here, let alone, that he knew she was the adopted daughter of Familia Elvira, had Marcos told her?

-An intelligent man can tell which one is genuine at a glance, what does identity have to do with it? Sir," said Ana with irritation.

-Yes, this lady may be of less noble status than Miss Carballo, but she could be the bride of someone great!

-Yes, the dress must surely be authentic!

-Yes...

The crowd clearly did not believe Antonio's words.

Ana was overjoyed in her heart of hearts that she was about to say that Micaela's fiancé was indeed a big shot. Last night she had seen with her own eyes what Micaela's boyfriend had done, that he had won the hearts of all the colleagues in the company....

Micaela, as if she saw what Ana was going to say, stopped her immediately.

Micaela stood in front of Ana and looked at Antonio with condescending eyes:

-The dress is on me, naturally it has nothing to do with my status. Miss Carballo just made it very clear that if I prove that hers is not authentic, we don't have to pay for it, and she just admitted it. Please, can we go now?

Her words made everyone calm down.

She exuded a sense of oppression that everyone could not resist, an aura that made her seem extraordinarily regal and inviolable.

Antonio clearly felt a headache.

-Oh, beautiful, this is no longer a matter of compensation. I wore this dress to propose to my fiancée, but you tell me that the dress is an imitation, isn't that also indirectly saying that my feelings for Katarina are not sincere enough?

The crowd noticed it too.

-Yes, oh, it would be a great sin if she had to withdraw from marriage!

-What a pity when the man is talented and the woman is beautiful.

-It seems so cruel.

Antonio continued:

-Have any of you seen the worldwide limited edition GIBIERRE in person?

Everyone looked at each other, and sure enough, no one had seen it.

-The biggest difference between these two dresses is the pearls, but when the fashion magazine described the dress, it didn't explicitly say that all the beads were freshwater pearls.

-That's right, it's too one-sided to say that Miss Carballo's is fake just because of the pearls.

-Yes, if it wasn't this girl's dress to compare, then this one of Miss Carballo's would be perfect without a doubt.

-Maybe it's true that the genuine article doesn't use such good pearls and this pretty girl's is the knockoff version!

"A knockoff version is even better than the original? Isn't this a slap in the face for James' designer, don't they have brains to put out?"

Micaela growled inwardly, but said nothing, she wanted to see what he wanted.

Thanks to Antonio's few words, the plot turned around.

Katarina was impressed by Antonio, and the short-haired woman had an admiring expression on her face.

-Miss Micaela, I don't want anything else, I just want to prove that my fiancée's clothes are absolutely authentic, just like my love for her!

Antonio finished, looked at Katarina with affection and continued:

-The compensation is also waived, you, and your friend, you just have to apologize to my fiancée and this will go away, I will take care of all the damages!

-Wow! So romantic...

-It doesn't matter if the clothes are authentic or not, Miss Carballo, your fiancé really loves you!

-Yes, I'm so happy!

Even Ana was touched by this show of affection....

"It's not hard to apologize for something..."

-Miss Micaela!

A male voice suddenly came from the entrance.

It sounded familiar to Micaela, and when she looked back, it was indeed Mr. Ocampo!

Micaela looked at Diego in surprise, then couldn't help but look behind him, but Diego was the only one.... Diego came striding over.

-What a coincidence to find you here. My boss asked me to come to inspect the operation of the mall. Micaela was surprised,

"Do you also have a store in this mall?"

Diego looked Micaela up and down.

-Miss Micaela, you look very nice in that dress? Master James really lives up to his name!

The crowd expressed surprise, "Is this someone else saying that yours was the genuine article?"

The fast talkers asked bluntly.

-Sir, do you mean to say that this beautiful girl's dress is the genuine article?

Said Diego with an air of rectitude:

-Mr. James gave it to my boss himself and instructed him to give it to the girl of his choice, and if she could wear it, he would marry her!

-And then what?

-Oh, my Boss didn't believe in that and refused. But James insisted on giving it to my Boss, and my Boss was kind enough to accept it. I hadn't met Miss Micaela at the time, and to my surprise, she wore it and it looked so good on her, James actually lived up to his reputation as a ghost!

"A gift?"

The audience was also surprised.

James' pitch also said it was just a gift, not a sale.

-This guy says it like it's totally true!

-Yeah, I believe what this guy says too!

-Well, well, this dress looks more expensive than Señorita Carballo's, how could Master James wear cheap pearls?!

Antonio couldn't keep his expression.

-Who is your boss? What proof do you have that what you say is true?

Diego looked at Antonio:

-Mr. Antonio, pleased to meet you. I am not at liberty to reveal who my boss is, but I think the most direct proof would be for Mr. James himself to confirm which dress he designed and cut. The room erupted.

-How is that possible, Master James is far away in France?

-Yes, that's unreal!

-But seeing Master James in person would be the best thing ever!

Micaela and Ana were also surprised.

However, Antonio snorted coldly, "who does this man think he is?"

"I have personally gone to France and waited for him for three days before meeting James for a few minutes. There is no way this man could have hired James, he must be bluffing!" -Yes, that would be a good idea!

Antonio echoed Diego's words as he thought to himself.

"Hell, let's see you get off the stage!"

Diego smiled and looked at the scene:

-Master James is also coming to Teladia secretly this time, so let's not give him any influence and no pictures, okay?

-No problem!

They all spoke in unison, very excited.

Diego cast a reassuring glance at Micaela and turned to clap his hands in fear.

-Well, come on, welcome Master James!

The glass doors were pushed open and an elderly man in his 60s entered, accompanied by his assistant.

With slightly white hair, wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and the smart suit, it was none other than Master James, who had been seen in every major news story!
