FULL NOVELXO Chapter 76 : How You Can Hit People.
Chapter 76: How you can hit people.
Micaela's face was quite red. She hurried to get up and stood in front of the mirror. The slap mark was already invisible. That ointment really worked well!
She looked at her nightgown. It was a long style, reaching down to her calf. It was long sleeved, pink in color and adorned with small flowers. The neckline had layers of ruffles. She liked it very much... "It's a very conservative style-she says it like she's tempting him!"
When she arrived at the company and sat at the computer drawing, she suddenly realized.
Carlos was wearing pajamas this morning!
In other words, she wasn't hugging him when she fell asleep and wouldn't let him leave, but the man showered in her room and then came upstairs in her bed!
That's why he was smiling on the way to take her to work, was he laughing at her for being slow?
Damn, he's always playing a trick on me!
"I thought I hadn't slept alone before, could it be for real? Only he gets up earlier..." suspected Micaela.
-Micaela! What are you doing? Are you tired? -Ana's voice sounded next door and Micaela came to her senses.
Ana asked with a mischievous smile:
-Thinking about your boyfriend?
Micaela's face blushed a little, she explained, rambling:
-No way, I was just thinking if I've turned off the tap at home or not?
-Really? -Ana got excited, it seemed that she finally found someone to share her habit with -You know what, I also always go back to confirm if I've closed the door properly after leaving. Then in the middle of the way I can't help thinking if I have turned off the gas or not. Oh, it's torture...
Micaela looked at him as he talked non-stop, but what he had just said was echoing in her head....
It had already been ten days since she rented the house, she should be ready to live in by now, right? Would it be abusing Carlos' trust too much to live in his house for so long? He was enjoying the fact that he drove her with a special car and Sofia's attention to detail without thinking about anything?
He was ashamed to think about it. Even if they became sweethearts she and Carlos, living together was still a distant topic. Besides, this man always slept next to her, in case someday....
Micaela shook her head vigorously and stopped thinking about it. "I'll look for a time to visit the apartment I rented!"
-Micaela, what's wrong? Are you all right?
-Well...
"I got distracted again!"
Micaela was embarrassed and looked for an excuse:
-Last night I didn't rest well and the truth is I don't feel well. I'm about to ask Kiki for an absence this afternoon.
-Are you going to ask to be absent this afternoon? -Kiki passed by her stall and stopped to ask when she heard what Micaela said.
Ana was surprised, she caught him when he wasn't working! She hurried toward her own stall.
Micaela stood up.
-Yes, I have a personal matter this afternoon and would like to ask for half a day off. I already have the design drawing done and I can deliver it to you at noon before I leave work. Kiki smiled.
-Okay, that's fine, don't be nervous, you can go!
-Thank you very much, Kiki.
Micaela finished the drawing as planned. After giving it to Kiki, it was time to leave work. She left after having lunch with Ana in the company canteen.
When she left the company, it was quite windy and cloudy.
She took out her cell phone and called Adriana Elvira.
After ringing for a while, the call was answered and Adriana's voice had the usual high pitch:
-My dear cousin Micaela, now that things are going so well for you how do you remember to call me?
Micaela frowned and went straight to the point:
-Let's talk, about the orphanage, where did we meet?
Adriana laughed:
-That was quick. Okay, but now I don't have time to go out because I'm busy with rehearsals. Come to my company. -Okay.
Adriana pointed to an address and Micaela hailed a cab as she hung up the call.
About 10 minutes later, she arrived at the site.
Brillantella was one of Teladia's top film and television companies, a management company that combined media, film, television, music and modeling. Thanks to this company, Adriana achieved her current
success.
Micaela asked several people to find the showroom number 3 that Adriana mentioned.
It was a very large and spacious room.
The most striking thing was the catwalk that was in the middle, with bright lights of various colors that illuminated the models who were walking elegantly on it. All around were a few seated spectators and some who looked like leaders positioned in the seats with the best views.
It was already past 12 o'clock, it should be break time, but there was still a lot of staff passing from one side to the other, the models were also coming out in all kinds of clothes in shifts.
They should be practicing hard for the performance on the twenty-first at GarzaBlanca.
Micaela was outside the group looking everywhere, but she didn't see Adriana, she wasn't among the models on the catwalk either.
In a place like this there should be a place for the models to change clothes and make up.
After asking some people, Micaela found the changing room in the back. Before entering, she heard a girl crying:
-I'm sorry, I didn't mean to.....
-Do you think a few simple words will fix everything? I'm going up on the catwalk in a few days and you put me in a pair of shoes that don't fit me, and now you tell me you didn't mean to? You're doing it on purpose!
It was Ivanna Aleman's voice.
There was a slapping sound and immediately someone fell to the ground and the sound of an object hitting the ground....
The woman cried.
Micaela frowned, Ivanna really was arrogant no matter where she was!
Micaela wasn't interested in getting involved in that matter. She came to find Adriana to set the record straight. Then she was supposed to be back at the company before it was time to leave work because Carlos would be there in time to pick her up.
However, when she saw the person who sat on the floor and was crying, covering her cheeks, she couldn't just stand by and watch....
Micaela approached and held out her hand:
-Delfina, get up first.....
Delfina Yepes was a colleague from Micaela's previous internship and was very nice to her. Moreover, she came out to speak for her when the company wanted to fire her.
Later on, that company could not function well due to problems with the management and many people left.
Delfina also left that Japanese company at that time.
I didn't expect that in the end she would end up working here and coincidentally end up with Ivanna.
-Micaela...
Delfina covered her already swollen face, her eyes were also swollen from crying. Now, seeing someone she knew, she felt even sadder for what she suffered and more tears came to her eyes.
All around were some models and staff, they were looking over there but could do nothing. Miss Aleman was the one with the power. The Alemans were the major sponsor of the show they were going to do at GarzaBlanca on the 21st. They didn't dare raise their voices to them, they would rather do less than more.
Micaela pulled a handkerchief from her bag and wiped Delfina's tears. She looked up at Ivanna:
-Ivanna, how can you hit people? Can't you talk things out?
