It was noon when Micaela returned home.
She washed the new clothes and laid them out, took the quilt out onto the balcony, and then had a quick bite to eat.
Taking a seat on the couch, she took out her phone and flipped through the contact book, stopping at Carlos' name, she hesitated for a while before exiting the app.
She couldn't just sit there doing nothing, because she'd get too scratched if she had nothing to do.
Micaela got up and cleaned the whole house until it was spotless, and only then was she content to stop.
Just after she sat down on the sofa, again the idea of calling Carlos came to her mind....
Micaela felt like she was going crazy....
But at that moment the phone rang.
Micaela looked at her phone and, as soon as she saw the name, she felt a little disappointed....
Micaela calmed her mind before picking up the phone.
-Hello, Delfina.
Delfina was Micaela's partner at the internship company and her only friend when she worked there.
-Micaela, have you found a job yet? -Delfina asked.
Micaela grabbed a pillow to hug and cradled it in her arms.
-Yes, I just found it, I start tomorrow.
-Congratulations, I knew you'd find a job soon!
-Thank you. Were you calling me about something?
-Oh, I lost my job....
Micaela was startled.
-How?
-Marcos' shares were bought out and he lost a lot of money.
-Isn't he the biggest shareholder of the company? Who bought him out?
Micaela was just curious and had no more feelings for Marcos.
-I don't know, but the bosses of the company are at odds and all the factories of the company have been closed and the company is in a mess.
-That's really serious...
-Yes! For me, it's all the fault of that Adriana! Since she started as an ambassador for our new product, the company has gone downhill! She must be jinxed!
Delfina spoke with indignation.
Was she jinxed?
Micaela laughed.
After talking to Delfina about her job search and wishing her luck in finding it, she hung up the phone.
Leaning back on the couch, Micaela stared at the ceiling, thinking there was something strange about all this... What was strange? She couldn't quite put her finger on it....
Micaela fell asleep on the couch.
She was awakened by a phone call.
It usually didn't ring for days, but today it was ringing quite frequently.
Micaela rubbed her eyes, saw it was Alba calling and looked outside, it was dark.
-Alba...
-Micaela, where are you? I'm getting off the plane, I'm with you now!
Micaela gave Alba the address, and although she was curious as to how Micaela could be in that neighborhood, she didn't think much of it, thinking there would be time to ask later, so she hung up the phone and addressed her.
This style of doing things fast really didn't go well with her name!
Micaela thought so more than once.
Half an hour later, there was a knock at the door and Micaela opened it to be greeted by a fragrant hug.
-Micaela, I've missed you so much!
It was a while before Alba let go of Micaela and looked at her closely, and Micaela looked at her friend with slightly reddened eyes.
She had a tiny face, big eyes and a familiar teasing expression on her face:
