Chapter 75: Do you like me?
Estrella Berrocal hugged and puffed up, “I still haven’t forgiven you.”
Seeing her puffed up, she was clearly angry, but in Adán Rouco’s eyes there was a faint hint of pouting at him.
He leaned closer to her, “Are you referring to the Olivia Montes thing or what happened between us last night?”
His fresh, masculine scent immediately enveloped her, and Estrella Berrocal’s anger diminished for the most part.
He seemed less and less resistant to Adán Rouco.
But in the back of her mind she kept remembering that Adán Rouco was a dangerous man, quite evil, and that she should not get close to him, much less fall in love with him.
“Of course I have both, and I don’t forgive you either.”
Adam Rouco hooked his thin lips, his gaze downcast as he nonchalantly straightened his cufflinks and opened his mouth flippantly. “Olivia Montes is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Rouco family, whatever her mistake, and in other matters I will avenge her kidnapping, but if you call the police, the Rouco family won’t be much better off. ”
So he was just trying to calm things down because Olivia Montes was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Rouco family and he was afraid that if this went wrong it would reflect on the Rouco family?
With that casual explanation, it was surprising how the anger Estrella Berrocal felt in her heart disappeared immediately.
There was no fund to forgive him!
The man’s shrewd, clear gaze eyed her warily, seeing through her little thoughts, “Satisfied?”
She scorned silently in her heart, her eyes fluttered awkwardly for a few moments and she stammered, “Don’t think I’m going to let it go with a casual explanation like that.”
“If it’s because of what happened last night, then I don’t want to apologize to you.”
His handsome face, suddenly enlarged before her eyes, made Estrella Berrocal’s heart beat faster, as if she were carrying several rabbits.
Knave …
However, she was a straightforward person who didn’t like to beat around the bush, and now that they were both at this point, she felt the need to ask Adán Rouco exactly how he felt about her.
“The way you act, it makes me think you like me.”
Doing manly and womanly things with her, just now … and medicating her, such intimate things, if she didn’t like it, didn’t feel anything for her, Estrella Berrocal wanted to just put it in black.
She blushed, waited several seconds, saw that Adán Rouco was not saying anything and asked a little nervously: “Do you … like me?”.
The truth is that it seemed a bit idiotic and childish to ask that question, but on the contrary, he wanted a definitive answer.
Her watery eyes looked at him unblinkingly, waiting for his response.
Adán Rouco was momentarily stunned by the question, how?
He did not know how to say it.
It was undeniable that he was more physically “interested” in Estrella Berrocal, but it didn’t seem to go that far, and he didn’t have to have her.
Adán Rouco had always been a slow person, and found it harder than others to warm up to any emotion.
After waiting half a minute, Estrella Berrocal sees him shut up and immediately storms off: “If you don’t like me, don’t do this to me! If you want to get your physical needs out, go find another woman!”.
She cannot play.
Estrella Berrocal was so angry that she wanted to kick him, which she did, but before she could do so, her ankle was grabbed by the man’s large hand, who frowned, “What are you doing?”
Can’t she be angry that she has been deceived?
“You! Let go of me!”
The man’s brow furrowed further, seeing her irritated look, so worried about the answer to that question just now?
Not only was she Paulita’s real mother, but she had been in his bed, and he would be responsible for her.
This woman, what was so serious?
On the other side of the door, a knock was heard.
Santino Yepes: “Boss, Director Olivia wants to see you”.
Estrella Berrocal, who was restrained by the ankle, was teary-eyed.
She knew he really liked Olivia Montes, so she didn’t ask him if he liked her, she should have had an answer to that stupid question by now, right?
But hey, she didn’t like it that much, so it wasn’t too late to put her out of her misery!
Estrella Berrocal gave her an ankle a hard tug backwards and growled, “Your mistress is here, go now, if she gets angry, she can kidnap me again if she gets jealous!”.
Adam Rouco’s dark eyes grew cold as he withdrew his hand, stood up and left the room.
…
Olivia Montes, who was in the office, unconsciously looked inside when Adán Rouco came out of the room to see the movement.
Was Estrella Berrocal… in there?
But Adán Rouco had closed the door so fast that she had not seen it.
“What is it?”
“Oh, didn’t we recently have an anime movie collaboration with Yawar? I was thinking we could have a contest for whoever draws the best characters and impersonations. But the prize amount I haven’t thought about, so I came to talk to you about it.”
As soon as she heard this, Estrella Berrocal, who was hiding behind the living room door, thought to herself that she would have liked to change jobs to an original artist, after all, the profession of illustrator was too narrow in the country, and it would be problematic to leave the Rouco family to eat in the future.
“Set the amount you deem appropriate, it’s fine with me.”
Estrella Berrocal feels really comfortable, listening to the calm tone of Adán Rouco’s voice.
Olivia Montes: “Okay then, as long as whoever draws a character that is adopted by Yawar, one million will be used as a reward.”
Hearing one million, Estrella Berrocal’s eyes immediately lit up, take this contest, the cash prize is a lot!
One million dollars is the full price of a small house in a third- or fourth-tier city.
He was thinking about the million when his cell phone rang and the caller was Perla Prats.
She picked up the phone without fear of being overheard outside and made her way to the living room before answering, “Hey Perla, what’s up?”
“Why haven’t you contacted me lately, have you forgotten about me as a friend?”.
It seemed like it had been a long time since she had met Perla Prats, “I just joined the Rouco family, haven’t I been busy?”.
“Then come have dinner with me tonight! I have some good news for you.”
“Good news, did you win the lottery?”
Perla Prats said cheerfully and shyly, “Much happier than winning the lottery! You’ll see when you come to dinner tonight!”.
Estrella Berrocal recalled that until now she had not told Perla Prats about her current relationship with Adán Rouco and said in a somewhat serious tone, “What happens is that I also have something to confess to you.”Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
…
When Estrella Berrocal got off work, she looked at the clock and saw that it was still early for her dinner date with Perla Prats, so she headed to the car store to see them.
I had to buy a car, as I was late for the subway and bus every morning.
When he arrived at the car store, he took a look around but the prices seemed a bit expensive.
He was about to leave when he heard a familiar female voice at the door.
“Has the car I booked earlier arrived yet from you?”
He looked up to see Irene Guillén with her sunglasses off and her toe in the air.
“Miss Irene, the car you reserved will have to wait another two days.”
“What the hell, I’ve been waiting for a month and it still hasn’t arrived! Aren’t you doing your job right? Do you want me to file a complaint?”
Estrella Berrocal could not stand it and approached her and reproached her: “I did not expect Miss Irene to be so unqualified, I see that she does not pretend to be very understanding in front of others…”.
