Micaela shook her head, suppressing the feeling in her heart.
-Okay. Should I pay the lawyer's fee?
Seeing the obvious dejection on her face, Kiki replied:
-I'm not sure. I assume he has paid it.
Micaela nodded disoriented, thinking of Carlos' rage the last time she sat in the car with him....
-Then I'm going...
Whether Kiki answered her or not, Micaela didn't know, it just came out in a leonine way.
"It's a little strange that someone would send me money at this time. I think Carlos did."
With a sigh, she returned to her seat.
And then he put all the money he had just received into Carlos' black card account.
After doing this, she glanced at his Whatsapp profile.
"He hasn't contacted me either."
"This is what I want, isn't it?"
She was going to break off the relationship with him and pay him back what she owed him?
Then, there would be no more contact.
When she thinks of Familia Elvira, she did so with distaste.
"When I'm done with the orphanage, I'm definitely going back to Adriana and Tia Marta to get some justice!"
Even if it were true that Grupo Carballo had ceased to exist at that time, but at least, that house, was definitely bought by her father back then.
"No matter what, I have to get the apartment back!"
Once this was decided, Micaela set to work.
She thought of nothing else and devoted herself to her work every day. In her spare time, she reassured Mama Director on the phone so she wouldn't worry.
The next few days were quiet.
During this period, Alba's brother took her to see some places to rent for an orphanage, but the price was not negotiated and it was over.
Half the deadline had already passed.....
***
Saturday had arrived.
It was the day Adriana and Ivanna were going to parade down the GarzaBlanca catwalk.
Yesterday, when Micaela told Kiki that she was going, Ana also wanted to go and take a look.
-I want to see Ivanna fall off the stage!
-Okay, let's go together," said Kiki.
So this morning, the three of them went out in Kiki's car.
-It's a 40-minute drive to GarzaBlanca," Ana looked at the time and continued, "It's a good thing we left early, otherwise we wouldn't have made it on time.
-As the show has been promoted for a long time, so many journalists arrive. Today it is normal to have traffic jams.
As she said, Kiki looked at Micaela in the rearview mirror, who had been acting calmly this week, but she knew that Micaela was actually very unhappy about a lost love. The only thing she could hope for would be for her to get her act together very soon.
The destination had finally arrived.
GarzaBlanca was a 5-star tourist attraction in Teladia and had a huge photo studio, where the show was held. Renting the studio and setting up the stage was a big expense.
All three went in with their tickets.
Looking at the dazzling stage, with lights of every color and the busy staff, Ana said excitedly:
-It looks like it's not easy being a model. How much effort is needed for a show.
-Every profession is not easy," Kiki smiled and replied.
But Ana suddenly said to Micaela:
-If you are a model, you will be very popular!
-Don't be ridiculous. I'm going to look for a friend of mine and I'll be right back.
-Do you want us to go with you? -asked Kiki.
-No, thanks.
-Okay, be careful.
Micaela nodded, asked a staff and headed to the back of the stage.
When Delfina saw Micaela she hurried to greet her:
-Micaela, have you lost weight? I didn't see you looking so thin last week.
Micaela paused, is it so obvious? -She smiled and said, "I like a dress, but I can't wear it, so I have to lose weight.
What a good explanation!
Delfina was worried about her deal with Ivanna later, so she took her inside, without further thought.
Inside, the models were changing clothes and doing their makeup for the stage.
Ivanna felt very jealous when she saw her Micaela in the mirror, wearing a simple but attractive white dress.
She said mockingly:
-You haven't found any shoes, have you? Eighteen thousand euros, not a penny less!
The surrounding models realized what had happened and all looked at Micaela with regret.
Micaela looked at Ivanna, who was wearing a dress suitable to show off her necklace, only at this moment, she still didn't have it on.
She smiled and said:
-Give me your card number.
No one dared to say anything.
