My Dear Mr. Nice novel Chapter 11

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, she wouldn't know how to react.
