My Dear Mr. Nice novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 : Stay with me!

He cleared his throat, with an unnatural expression.

-Stay with me!

Whether they had known each other before or not, Carlos decided that, in the future, they would have to have some kind of relationship.

For the first time, he met a woman he was interested in and, with her fragrant scent, fascinated him....

He had absolute self-confidence and, from the way she had reacted earlier upstairs, she must have had feelings for him as well.

It was a bit sudden, but he had always done things in a straightforward way and, given his current situation, he should accept it willingly.

Carlos thought that way...

Micaela stood up with a start.

-No!

The answer came without hesitation.

Her heart was beating fast and her mind was in chaos.

She wasn't sure what Carlos meant about staying with him, but she was panicking!

Regardless of the other criteria, she knew that Carlos was a successful man living in the upper class of society, whereas she was just an adoptee?

And, perhaps, he simply saw her as a toy for the rich to pass the time when they were bored?

He was afraid he would end up heartbroken if he gave his sincerity.

Before Sophia, who had just arrived at the dining room door, could congratulate on the gentleman's enlightenment, she was taken aback by Micaela's response!

"Wow, she didn't even hesitate to say no, so only I was excited!".

Carlos' face couldn't have been worse, he looked like he wanted to throw his anger away, but he couldn't.

It was the first time he had ever asked that of a woman!

He couldn't believe she had turned him down!

-I... Mr. Aguayo, I'm sorry. I have to go, thank you for your hospitality and for saving my life, I'll pay you for the car repair when I can!

Having said that, he hurried towards the door, as if he was running away from some monster.

Mr. Aguayo? Carlos' hands clenched into a fist and he didn't say a word.

Sofia hurried to grab Micaela's hand.

-Miss Noboa, what's wrong? Weren't you all right a moment ago? Mr....

-Sofia, sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for your care, see you again!

He released Sofia's hand to leave.

-My daughter, it's getting dark, it's not safe for a girl to go alone. I'll prepare a guest room for you on the first floor, so you can sleep tonight, and I'll take you with me tomorrow when I go shopping, is that all right?

Micaela's fast-beating heart was somehow calmed by Sofia's words.

It took ten minutes by car to get to town, and much longer if it was walking.

It was really unsafe, and she'd had enough with the two hooligans last night....

Sofia saw her hesitate and hurried to pull her towards the guest room.

Micaela looked back at Carlos, who was still in the same position as before, sitting with his back to her, not speaking.

Micaela saw that he did not object and went with Sofia to the guest room.

It was only when she heard the door close that Carlos took a deep breath, got up and went upstairs.

He was very irritable, very annoyed, and it made her want to pull her hair out, but then she couldn't help but wonder if he had been too hasty and that had scared her off.

Or had she expressed herself incorrectly?

Couldn't she have said that about staying with him?

What should she have said?

"Damn it...".

For the first time, Carlos hated the fact that he had no experience in relationships, because that didn't help him at all!

As he entered the study, he saw new information coming out of the printer.

Carlos suddenly remembered the name Micaela had just uttered in her sleep.

Was it because of him?

Carlos felt even worse.
