Chapter 100
Even 10. Mikayla didn’t ask much.
After a while, Carlos and Jorge came out of the study. Carlos was smiling, and Jorge was obviously overjoyed. Mikayla was curious about what was going on between them.
Carlos carried Mikayla upstairs, and she asked, “What did you say to my dad?” She had never seen her father being friendly with an outsider. Of course, Carlos would soon become a family member, so her father was smiling happily.
“This is our secret; I can’t tell you, Carlos replied. He raised his eyebrows and put Mikayla on the bed. Then, he massaged Mikayla’s feet seriously. He used moderate strength, suited for soothing sore muscles.
After being caught during the day, Carlos was much more conscientious now. Nothing else happened.
“I’m going to the company tomorrow. Can you pick me up earlier!” Mikayla asked. She was worried that Carlos wouldn’t let her go to the company. Her foot injury wasn’t serious, but walking might be difficult.
“Okay! I’ll make sure to get you to the company carly!” Carlos replied. He knew what Mikayla was worried about. He loved her and didn’t want her to get hurt, but he knew what she liked. Therefore, he wouldn’t interfere.
He would rather be there to help her when she needed it and let her do what she liked. This way, Mikayla would be happy, and he’d also be in a good mood. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Mikayla thanked Carlos and thought, He’s really different from the others!
Carlos teased. “Then, how will you thank met I want something practicall He looked at her directly without hesitation, which made her heart pound even more.
Mikayla understood the obvious meaning
She leaned down and kissed him on the cheek before moving away. However, Carlos wasn’t satisfied with this. He leaned up and kissed her on the lips. Take the interest first. Remember to pay the rest later said Carlos.
‘Carlos, you hooligan!‘ scolded Mikayla inwardly.
However, Carlos still looked noble and devoid of shame. He was just asking for benefits from his fiancée, so it wasn’t a big deal. Carlos never considered himself a chaste man.
After doing all this, Carlos didn’t stay much longer and drove away. He had already remained in the Salvatore manor for the whole day.
After Carlos left, Mikayla tried to get out of bed and walk by herself. After all, she couldn’t let Carlos carry her into the office tomorrow in front of everyone.
At first, it was a little uncomfortable. But after taking a few more steps, Mikayla could walk, but her foot was still a bit sore. Lorenzo’s medical skills and Carlos‘ massage seemed quite effective. She believed she’d be better tomorrow.
The next day, a faint glow in the blue sky alluded that the weather would be good.
Mikayla wanted to get in the car by herself, but Carlos refused and was determined to hold her in his arm.
Carlos drove while Mikayla sat in the passenger seat and watched the scenery along the road. The weather was fine, brightening people’s mood.
The car quickly arrived at Salvatore Group before working hours started
Before Carlos could move, Mikayla stopped him. She would be very embarrassed if he carried her into the company.
Carlos remarked, “What are you thinking? I just wanted to unfasten your seat belt!” He leaned down, unfastened Mikayla’s seat belt, and casually said, “Don’t come down at noon. I’ll bring you lunch.”
Mikayla blushed and mused, ‘It was so embarrassing”
Still, she had forgotten about lunch. Although she could walk, it wasn’t suitable for her recovery, so she didn’t refuse Carlos‘ offer. She got out of the car and waved goodbye to him. She then clocked into work and went upstairs.
Mikayla walked slowly and was greeted with various gazes, but she ignored them.
The company was like a hub of information exchanges. If one cared about these rumors and gossip, one would get nothing done.
As soon as she walked to the door of her department, she heard people gossiping inside.
“Let me tell you something about the news in the newspaper. My friend, who’s one of the security personnel, told me that those people died strangely. But the higher–ups didn’t allow any investigation!” said Eric quietly.
Hearing that. Mikayla stopped. She had a strange premonition.
“Is it about the bodies found in the open sea?” asked Patricia while sorting the documents in front of her.
There were still a few minutes before the working hour started, and everyone looked at Eric curiously. Meanwhile, Mikayla stood outside to listen.
Eric turned on the computer and said, “Yes! 1 heard that there’s a small boss involved. What’s worse is that it was reported in the newspaper! Those people were all gnawed beyond recognition by sharks and left in the sea for a long time.”
Taylor, who was eating bread, glanced at it and pursed his lips. His appetite was gone.
“It was probably a fight between those underworld people! Something similar happened in Xosa before, but it wasn’t this cruel Patricia said. She sat in her cubicle, preparing for work
Eric stared at the computer screen and said, I don’t know who did it! Is it the biggest boss, Elvis Cabello?”
“Ms. Salvatore, why are you standing here” asked Quinnlyn, who had just brought the documents down from upstairs and saw Mikayla standing at the entrance of their department
That made the people inside turn toward the door.
Mikayla returned to her senses and smiled. She answered. “It’s nothing”
They then saw Mikayla walking in, wearing flats as if to make herself more comfortable. So, they all greeted her with concern. Yesterday, they only heard that Mikayla asked for leave but didn’t say anything specific. Seeing this, everyone guessed that she had injured her foot
Mikayla responded, “It’s nothing. You all can get back to work. Quinnlyn, please make eight copies of this document for the board meeting later. After opening the office door, she added to Quinnlyn,
who was following her, “Please buy a copy of today’s newspaper,”
“Okay. I’ve placed the documents that need to be signed today on your desk,” Quinnlyn replied, taking the document from Mikayla
Ten minutes later, Quinnlyn knocked on the office door and put the newspaper with a glass of milk on her desk. Mikayla usually asked for coffee when she arrived at work, but Quinnlyn took the initiative to bring her milk that day.
“Thank you!” said Mikayla politely without raising her head as she was focused on her work.
After finishing her work, she checked the clock and found that there was still some time before the board meeting. Mikayla took a sip of milk, opened the newspaper Quinnlyn brought, and searched for the report Eric and the others mentioned earlier.
