My Dear Mr. Nice novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9 : Did you offend someone you shouldn't have offended?

Was it 9 o'clock?

Micaela was in shock.

It was Monday if she remembered correctly!

My God, I was doing an internship at a Japanese company and I was late!

Micaela hurried to eat her porridge.

The porridge was hot, sticky and melted in her mouth... it was so good!

Sofia smiled at her, she felt more and more fond of the girl, because she ate well, she looked like she had studied table manners. She was also very pretty, and looked great with her master....

Micaela finished her breakfast under Sofia's watchful eye. She got up to clean up, but Sofia stopped her and another maid, dressed as a servant, came forward immediately to pick up the dishes.

-Miss Noboa, just rest!

Micaela had to pull her hand away and look outside through the French window of the dining room.

It seemed to be a rather secluded place....

-This is Nyisrenda, a bit far from the city.

Sofia seemed to see Micaela's confusion and explained.

-Sofia, I have to go to work.....

Micaela found herself in a bind when Carlos told her to wait here until he returned.

After having saved her twice, she was ashamed to leave without saying anything, but work....

-Miss Noboa, why don't I ask the driver to take you? There are no cabs here. Come back in the chauffeur's car after work. If the gentleman finds out that I haven't taken good care of you on the way back, I'm afraid...

-Well, thank you Sofia!

Micaela said yes, it was a perfect solution.

I'm sure she'll have to thank Carlos in person and apologize to him, he was so unreasonable earlier in the room....

Micaela approached the main entrance where there was a black car parked, Sofia was explaining something to the driver, seeing Micaela get out, she opened the back seat door for her.

Micaela sat down and spoke with some uncertainty:

-Sofia, when I came yesterday, did you have a purse with you?

-Yes, but it got wet from the rain and was taken to the laundry. Don't worry, I've put your things away... Oh, and the phone....

-I'm in no hurry, I can rest easy knowing that it's not lost. Well, if you would do me the favor of carrying it, I would appreciate it.

Micaela didn't have anyone to contact either, and her aunt Marta and Andrea wouldn't contact her for anything good.

It was better that her phone had broken in the water, so they wouldn't bother her again, and now that she had escaped, there was no way she was coming back!

-Okay.

Sofia looked at the driver.

-Martin, drive very carefully. Miss Noboa, see you later!

-See you later, Sofia!

The car started slowly and left the estate.

Micaela gave the driver the address of the company and ten minutes later it stopped in front of a building in the city.

-Miss Noboa, I'll be waiting for you here, just come by after work!

The driver kindly opened the door for her.

Micaela was a little anxious to get in, she was an hour and a half late, but she talked to the driver anyway.

-There's no need, you can go home first, I leave at 5 pm, come at that time!

-It's okay, go to work, I'll wait for you here.

Micaela could not convince him, so she smiled apologetically and hurried inside.

The office was on the 6th floor and Micaela was already panting as she stepped out of the elevator and rushed to her post.

Before she could sit down, the plump Mr. Romero came over and dumped a stack of papers on the table.

-Micaela, you're fired!

Micaela was astonished, was a delay of an hour and a half such a big deal?

-I'm just a little late. It's not serious enough to justify dismissal, is it?

Several colleagues sitting next to her also looked on in unison, and a colleague who used to have a special crush on Micaela came right up.

-Mr. Romero, this is the first time Micaela has been late. All the others are late very often, and they only get the full-time attendance bonus deducted!

-Yes, sir, Micaela is a hard worker and does very well at work, so please forgive her this time!

Another colleague also came out to intercede.

Micaela looked at them gratefully.

It was touching that they were willing to stand up for her at this time, because they had not had much of a relationship normally.

Mr. Romero made a face and said angrily:

-You people don't know anything! Go back to your business!
