Chapter 11 : Someone was deliberately covering up something.
Micaela washed up and went downstairs, where a sumptuous dinner was already set on the table.
There was no sign of Carlos...
-Miss Noboa, you are here, where is the gentleman? -asked Sofia.
-I don't know, hasn't he come down yet?
Sofia turned immediately to set the table.
-Could you go upstairs and call? He must be in the study. It's the one next to the bedroom. Oh, I'll take
this plate and wash it.....
Micaela was a little speechless, her reaction was too obvious, wasn't it?
"But he and I are not what you think we are...".
Biting her lip, she went upstairs anyway.
There was a knock at the door and Carlos quietly answered to come in.
Micaela pushed open the door and peeked in only halfway. The study was spacious, surrounded by tall
bookshelves with neatly arranged books.
Carlos was sitting behind a desk by the window, some kind of document in his hand.
He frowned, watching intently, not realizing it was Micaela who had pushed open the door.
The origin of this little girl was a bit strange, and the information that had been obtained so far was very
simple.
She came to Teladia thirteen years ago, when she was 8 or 9 years old....
Currently in an adoptive relationship by the Elvira's.
No further information was available, only a one sentence summary: he moved to the city from Zyalen
Province.
With parents deceased due to a car accident.
Information about the parents was also scarce and was basically explained in a few sentences.
Did Diego do a bad job or was someone deliberately covering something up?
Carlos had a rough idea of what happened last night, and surveillance showed that she was sent to the
hotel by her Aunt Marta....
-Carlos, dinner is ready!
Micaela shouted a second time before Carlos looked up and saw Micaela standing in the doorway,
looking at him.
He looked at Micaela with a slightly questioning look....
Micaela tightened her skirt, a little unsure what to do.
Carlos put down the information, got up, with big strides and stood in front of Micaela.
Micaela thought she was too close and tried to back up a little, but Carlos grabbed her, and with a twist,
Micaela had her back to the wall and to her right, Carlos' arm resting on the wall!
He was wrapping his arm around her?
Micaela shook her head slightly.
-Carlos, what are you doing? Sofia told me to come upstairs and call you for dinner!
Carlos looked at her, the little girl just reached her shoulders, and her face from this angle was so cute,
with her delicate nose, her little red mouth and her long eyelashes that moved softly like little fans.
-Micaela? -Carlos pronounced her name with an elongated pronunciation.
Micaela looked at him and looked away again.
-What...? What the fuck! Don't get so close...
Micaela tried to reach out and push him away, but stopped when she heard his question.
-Have we met somewhere before?
Carlos smelled her scent and there was a very strong sense of familiarity.
But the information he had about after their arrival in Teladia was very detailed, they really didn't know
each other before.
And where did this familiarity come from?
Micaela couldn't help but look at him, her deep eyes were serious and scrutinizing, and her eyebrows
furrowed slightly.
Did this problem bother him much?
-No! I've never seen you before.
Micaela answered in the affirmative.
A slight disappointment arose in Carlos's heart because they really had no relationship before....
Thinking about her encounter with him, Micaela lowered her head and slightly lowered her voice.
-I really thank you for two nights ago, I really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart!
Carlos kept looking at her, and at that moment she was a little overwhelmed, which gave him the idea
to tease her.
-¿Y?
Micaela looked at his expression, hoping he wouldn't say something about marrying him or something, Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
she wouldn't know how to react.
-And, I'm sorry I broke your car and threw a pillow at you this morning?
-Yeah! You went a little overboard, how could you do that to the one who saved you?
Micaela felt even more embarrassed and blurted out:
-I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. I thought you had taken my clothes off.....
At this point, Micaela stopped hurriedly, this was not a good topic, Micaela bit her lower lip hard....
Carlos grabbed Micaela's chin and lifted her head slightly, his eyes shone with an unfamiliar light.
-Relax! -Carlos whispered.
-Huh? -Micaela didn't understand.
-Loosen your teeth, don't bite.
Micaela, for some reason, lost the rhythm of her heart when she looked into his deep eyes and
unconsciously loosened her teeth....
The red lips were slightly swollen because she was biting before... How red and how beautiful!
Carlos felt he was losing control, he wanted to taste her red lips again....
-Sir! Dinner is ready...
Seeing that they were late in coming down, Sofia had to go up herself, and when she reached the
stairs, she saw the spectacle in front of her and covered her mouth violently.
Startled, Micaela pushed Carlos away with great force and ran towards the stairs, blushing.
Sofia was so guilty that she didn't dare look at Carlos.
Carlos approached her at a brisk pace.
-Sofia.
Sofia frowned and answered shyly:
-Yes, sir....
-You will get a raise this month!
After saying this Carlos also went downstairs.
Sofia looked incredulous and then very happy.
"That's it! Sir just needs a partner, look how human he is now!
I don't really care much about the raise! What makes me happy is to see the gentleman so happy!".
Micaela flew down the stairs and ran straight to the dining room.
"What had happened to me!
How could that happen!
Ahhh! How embarrassing!"
When she reached the table, she sat down directly where she had eaten breakfast in the morning.
Sofia saw him on the stairs and wanted to stop her because it was the main seat, where the gentleman
usually sat, but seeing that the gentleman was sitting across from Micaela without a care in the world,
she let him pass.
Fuck the main seat!
Only when Carlos sat down in front of her did Micaela realize that she had taken the wrong seat, as
she was in such a hurry that she hadn't noticed.
As she watched Carlos take the silverware to eat as if nothing had happened, she thought that maybe
her family didn't have that concept.
Micaela ate all the food with her head down, not even daring to look at Carlos.
Carlos' mouth curved into a smile at her shyness.
The maid and Sofia, who were in the kitchen watching, shook hands excitedly.
-Look how charming and pretty our lord is when he smiles... Ah, that melts my heart.....
-I totally agree with you!
-Look, the gentleman is feeding Miss Noboa!
Micaela, at the table, was completely unaware that her every move with Carlos was being watched by
the eyes of the others.
Micaela had almost finished eating and looked at Carlos to see that he was also looking at her and
hurried to look away.
-Did you finish? I have something to tell you.
Carlos wiped his mouth with his napkin.
-Well, it turns out I have something to tell you too.
Micaela looked at Carlos startled, what was he going to say?
-Then you go first.
Micaela couldn't help thinking, "Don't let him tell me about marrying him or something like that....".
Carlos thought, "Well, this is the sort of thing that, of course, is more appropriately said by a man."
