Micaela's face was quite red. She hurried to get up and stood in front of the mirror. The slap mark was already invisible. That ointment really worked well!
She looked at her nightgown. It was a long style, reaching down to her calf. It was long sleeved, pink in color and adorned with small flowers. The neckline had layers of ruffles. She liked it very much...
"It's a very conservative style-she says it like she's tempting him!"
When she arrived at the company and sat at the computer drawing, she suddenly realized.
Carlos was wearing pajamas this morning!
In other words, she wasn't hugging him when she fell asleep and wouldn't let him leave, but the man showered in her room and then came upstairs in her bed!
That's why he was smiling on the way to take her to work, was he laughing at her for being slow?
Damn, he's always playing a trick on me!
"I thought I hadn't slept alone before, could it be for real? Only he gets up earlier..." suspected Micaela.
-Micaela! What are you doing? Are you tired? -Ana's voice sounded next door and Micaela came to her senses.
Ana asked with a mischievous smile:
-Thinking about your boyfriend?
Micaela's face blushed a little, she explained, rambling:
-No way, I was just thinking if I've turned off the tap at home or not?
-Really? -Ana got excited, it seemed that she finally found someone to share her habit with -You know what, I also always go back to confirm if I've closed the door properly after leaving. Then in the middle of the way I can't help thinking if I have turned off the gas or not. Oh, it's torture...
Micaela looked at him as he talked non-stop, but what he had just said was echoing in her head....
It had already been ten days since she rented the house, she should be ready to live in by now, right? Would it be abusing Carlos' trust too much to live in his house for so long? He was enjoying the fact that he drove her with a special car and Sofia's attention to detail without thinking about anything?
He was ashamed to think about it. Even if they became sweethearts she and Carlos, living together was still a distant topic. Besides, this man always slept next to her, in case someday....
Micaela shook her head vigorously and stopped thinking about it. "I'll look for a time to visit the apartment I rented!"
-Micaela, what's wrong? Are you all right?
-Well...
"I got distracted again!"
Micaela was embarrassed and looked for an excuse:
-Last night I didn't rest well and the truth is I don't feel well. I'm about to ask Kiki for an absence this afternoon.
-Are you going to ask to be absent this afternoon? -Kiki passed by her stall and stopped to ask when she heard what Micaela said.
Ana was surprised, she caught him when he wasn't working! She hurried toward her own stall.
Micaela stood up.
-Yes, I have a personal matter this afternoon and would like to ask for half a day off. I already have the design drawing done and I can deliver it to you at noon before I leave work.
Kiki smiled.
-Okay, that's fine, don't be nervous, you can go!
-Thank you very much, Kiki.
Micaela finished the drawing as planned. After giving it to Kiki, it was time to leave work. She left after having lunch with Ana in the company canteen.
When she left the company, it was quite windy and cloudy.
She took out her cell phone and called Adriana Elvira.
After ringing for a while, the call was answered and Adriana's voice had the usual high pitch:
