Gift?
Micaela remembered that when she said goodbye to Carlos this morning, he told her he would bring her a gift. At the time, it seemed to her that she had forgotten something. Until now, she realized that she still had one gift left to open!
It was given to her by Katarina when she signed the contract at Brillantella.
-Sorry, Katarina. I forgot it. When I came back home, I put it....
She went to the shoe locker.
He went to Carlos' company later that day. He remembered that he was with the gift when he came back. And then...
When he was changing his shoes, he put it in the shoe locker!
He didn't wear other shoes lately, so he didn't open the shoe locker door either and forgot about the gift completely!
After she opened the shoe locker door, she found that the gift was there....
-Micaela, thank goodness I didn't give you food! If I had, everything would have rotted! If someone sends me a gift, I'll be very curious and I'll want to open it immediately. How can you leave it like that without remembering for several days? Or don't you take the gift I gave you seriously?
-No, don't misunderstand me, it's not like that! -Micaela rushed to explain, "You visited Carlos on purpose that day, didn't you? As I was with him all day that day, I thought that the gift could not be opened in front of him, nor could I find the opportunity to open it. Later, I forgot it because of many houses happened....
-Haha... -Katarina's sly laugh was heard- You are showing me your affection again. You are living together for a few days, aren't you? But, apparently, we understand each other. That's right, you can't open the present in front of your love. So do it now! You're going to thank me!
-Well...
-Call me after you've seen it. See you later -Katarina hung up the call.
Micaela wanted to open the gift. But thinking about the interrupted video call with Carlos, she hurried to call him.
The line was busy.
Without thinking more, she took the gift and went upstairs.
Passing by Alba's room, she thought she could show him the gift, though not Carlos.
He heard her talking as he was about to knock on her door.
-I'm not going to say anything!
Micaela turned away hastily because it wasn't right to listen to her talking on the phone in secret.
But she was still curious.
Alba spoke in a somewhat rigorous tone. Who would ask her to say what she didn't want to tell?
After closing the door, Micaela sat down at the dressing table without thinking anymore. She felt a little excited looking at the box. All girls liked to open gifts, especially such a delicate gift!
What was inside?
Katarina had told her that she would appreciate it?
Actually Micaela couldn't guess what was inside....
After untying the purple ribbon and opening the lid, she found a burgundy nightgown!
With thin straps and an openwork waist closure, the nightgown came all the way down the leg. It was made of all silk and touched very soft. It would be very expensive!
Micaela was embarrassed. This nightgown was too attractive....
She stood in front of the mirror to see if it fit. She felt nervous, even though she was alone in the room....
"You want to seduce me."
Carlos' voice from the video call came to her....
Katarina wanted her to seduce him with this nightgown?
But Katarina wouldn't know that she and Carlos hadn't made love yet....
