At the same time, she also noticed Carlos saying, “Our chef. So, Mikayla ate her lunch under Carlos‘ scorching gaze. Homemade food was indeed better than the fast food outside.
Previously, her parents were worried that she’d eat too much outside, so they asked her to go home during lunch or bring food over. She didn’t do it because her schedule was tight. It’d take at least two hours from her house to the company including a meal. Noon was also a rush hour. Mikayla also didn’t let Sylvia send her food as it would be troublesome to the latter.
She decided to eat fast food for the first three months and see how it worked out. If Carlos sent food to her every day, Mikayla was afraid that she’d gain weight.
At this time, Carlos‘ phone rang. Carlos casually took his phone out and glanced at the empty lunch box while picking up the call.
“I’ll be right there!” After hanging up the phone, she turned to Mikayla and dotingly said, “I’m leaving! I’ll pick you up when you get off work. Take your unfinished work home. It’s more comfortable at home than in the office.”
“Alright,” replied Mikayla.
Then, Carlos took the lunch box and kissed Mikayla on the cheek before leaving.
Mikayla sat on the chair, blushing with embarrassment. What if someone knocks on the door and sees us?‘ she thought.
She realized that Carlos had changed. He became even more shameless, especially in those kinds of things.
Mikayla got off work on time that evening. She went downstairs and Carlos was already waiting.
For a long time afterward, the story of the daily love routine between Ms. Salvatore and the son of the Ludwig family was spread in the Salvatore Group and its neighboring companies. The stories revolved around how Carlos would drive her to work on time, sending her lunches at noon and flowers every day.
Carlos overshadowed everyone, including Jaxon, the former nation’s idol. Countless women wanted a man like Carlos.
There was a new poll on Xosa’s website. The poll was about who people wanted as their husband if given the chance. Carlos beat all the others.
Jaxon also saw the poll. He threw his computer to the ground, smashing it into pieces. The image he had maintained for many years was overshadowed by Carlos‘ sweet talks and flowers.
There was a comment that read: [Jaxon and Mikayla used to be such a good couple. I cried when they parted! I thought I’d never believe in love again, but unexpectedly, Mikayla met Carlos who loves her even more!]
Jaxon stood in front of the floor–to–ceiling window and clenched his fists. His emotions rioted once again.
“Carlos! Mikayla! What do they mean Carlos is a better match for Mikayla? In this world, I’m the only one who deserves her!‘ thought Jaxon.
He didn’t expect that the bait he threw failed to make Mikayla expose Huxley. He wondered what did she see or if she still considered Huxley as her
cousin.
Furthermore, Logan’s family was going to sue Jorge, but they suddenly went silent. Jaxon wondered what had happened to them.
It seemed that the plan had failed. Then, he could only use other things.
Jaxon picked up the phone on his desk and made a call. “Hello, Mr. Jiminez, this is Jaxon. I’ll be on a business trip in two days, and I’ll stop by your place…
In the evening, Juliet picked up a bag from the dry cleaner after dinner. In the bag was a black suit.
She planned to invite Xavier to have fun with her at Septem Nightclub for a bit and return the clothes to Elvis along the way. However, Xavier wasn’t there when she went downstairs after fetching her coat.
“Old man, where is Xavier?” Juliet threw the bag over her shoulder and asked Gordon, who was playing chess alone.
“I don’t know!” Gordon picked up a black pawn and placed it on the board.
“I swear he was here just now…” Juliet picked up the bag and walked out. She looked around but didn’t see Xavier, so she decided to go out alone.
Before she stepped out of the hallway, Gordon shouted, “Call your brother and tell him to not make trouble again!”
Thinking of Xavier gave Gordon a headache. Xavier was grounded for not even two days, and he had already slipped away. He disappeared before Gordon could notice. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Okay!” Juliet replied. She was afraid that Gordon would get a headache. She had just helped Xavier out, so she was.also afraid that he would make trouble again.
She went to her BMW Mini in the garage and drove toward Septem Nightclub.
On the way, she called Xavier. The first call went unanswered, but Xavier picked up the second one. He said he was playing at a cybercafe with Randy. He hung up after that.
Juliet felt at ease since Xavier was at a cybercafe. She hummed to the rhythm of the music and thought about whether to have a drink first or go home with Xavier.
Soon after, the wine–red BMW arrived at Septem Nightclub.
Before she even entered, her body began to move with the music inside.
“Ms. Klein!” The handsome security guards standing outside had already recognized Juliet since she was a recent regular at Septem Nightclub and
their boss‘ friend.
Juliet smiled at them. ‘Pretty good!‘ she thought. “Do you know where Elvis is?” Juliet saw Elvis‘ car when she parked hers just now.
At that moment, the manager, Trevor, came out and happened to hear Juliet’s question. “Mr. Cabello just arrived and went in.” Seeing Juliet, Trevor immediately smiled and pointed inside.
Juliet couldn’t understand the meaning behind Trevor’s smile. When she heard Trevor say that Elvis was inside, she thanked him and walked inside quickly on her black high heels.
It wasn’t long after dinner at this time and the real nightlife hadn’t started yet. Even the noisiest floor at ordinary times had few people.
At a glance, Juliet saw the man walking not far from her. That man who lived in the dark could be easily found even in the dim environment.
“Elvis!” she called out. Juliet knew she couldn’t catch up to him in her high heels, so she shouted his name.
Hearing the call, Elvis turned around and saw Juliet walking toward him.
Although she wasn’t as beautiful and flamboyant as Mikayla, Juliet’s rosy face was still attractive. She handed the bag to Elvis and said, “Here are your clothes! They’ve been dry–cleaned. Thank you for that night!”
“No need!” said Elvis coldly before turning away.
“Hey! You’re really strange!” Juliet shook the bag with an angry expression. She came to return Elvis‘ clothes and thank him, but she was unexpectedly dismissed with only two words.
‘What an iceberg–like face! Anyone who sees it will surely get angry!‘ thought Juliet. She sighed and inwardly grumbled, ‘If you don’t want it, then fine! I’ll give it to someone on the street!‘
Just as Juliet was about to turn around and leave, a hand rested on her shoulder.
