Chapter 805: You can keep controlling me for the rest of my life!
Carmencita brings her plate to Marco and sits down next to him.
Marco frowned at her: “What took you so long?
“I just woke up from my nap and just saw your message”. Carmencita said as she picked up her bowl and took a big gulp of soup.
He had not felt it before, but now, at the sight of the food, he felt a special hunger.
It’s a bit cold, but Marco can eat them all and is not fussy.
Marco took a breath and opened his mouth to scold her, but when the words came out, he thought that he would soon be going on a mission and would be away for a long time, so he had to swallow them again.
He said nothing, but reached out to touch his bowl of soup, which was not hot at all, and frowned, “That cold? I’ll have it warmed up for you.
Carmencita stopped him in his tracks: “No, I’m the one who’s late, there’s no need to bother anyone else, besides, you can all eat, what do I care?
When she finished, she buried her head in her mouth and took a few bites of food, making a silly face as she squinted at Marco again and smiled.
Marco averted his eyes to look away and sighed inaudibly.
Turning to Carmencita, she saw the grains of rice in the corner of her mouth and reached up to wipe them away.
Carmencita had a quick bite to eat, knowing that Marco was busy.
The two finished eating and left the canteen, Carmencita following Marco like a little nucita.
When he arrived at the office, Marco did not rush to work on the paperwork, but just sat behind his desk and looked at Carmencita with an expressionless face.
Carmencita was a little distracted by his gaze, and suddenly remembered that she had not cleared things up with Marco before.
“What are you doing frozen, sit down”.
Marco pointed to the chair opposite, motioning for Carmencita to sit down.
Carmencita liked her serious face better.
She lingered and sat down opposite him, looking at him intently: “Don’t you have anything else to attend to at …?”.
Marco put his arms around him, his expression cold: “Why didn’t you go to work today?
Carmencita buried her head and twisted her fingers a little nervously, her voice small: “… The boss has a problem.
Marco didn’t say anything either, he just stared at her.
Carmencita was a little weak inside, although she hadn’t seen Marco for a long time, it wasn’t as if he had left her alone, she had got herself an internship and Marco had asked for her.
He advised her to move to another company, but she felt that she had found the job on her own merits and did not want to change.
When Marco said nothing, Carmencita turned her head to one side and said: “It’s my fault for lying to you, do you think I want to be harassed by my boss? Of course I don’t want him to know, I don’t want to make myself look bad!”.
He also wanted to save face in front of the people he liked.
But in Marco’s mind, she was always a little sister.
Ever since I was a child, whatever I did, whatever decision I made, Marco interfered.
She knew he had her best interests at heart and trusted him.
Over time, however, he developed a rebellious spirit.
Marco’s face sank instantly and he said in a deep voice: “Is this about saving face? Do you think you’re still a child? Don’t you know what’s important from what’s not?”
Do you know what would have happened if he had not sent someone to covertly protect her, if Barreda had not passed by?
Marco took a deep breath at the thought, pinched his forehead and took a somewhat annoyed sip from his glass of water.
She was still too young for him to be comfortable with everything, and he couldn’t be around her all the time.
Carmencita pursed her lips tightly, her eyes pained, her face full of stubbornness: “Aren’t you tired of being in charge of me since I was a child? Have I asked you to control me? Don’t do with me what you do with children, I’m fed up! I’m not a child anymore, I’m an adult! It’s my business to make mistakes and decisions! You think you can control me forever!”
Crash!
Marco was so angry that he slammed his desk directly and roared: “Carmencita!
For a moment, Carmencita wanted to hear him say “I will take care of you for the rest of your life”.
On his face, however, there was no look other than one of violent anger.
“You take care of it, I will go first. Carmencita looked at him in a storm of anger and felt sad and hurt, and with malice in her heart she blurted out these words with great force and stormed out.
As he left the office, his legs gave way and he almost sat on the floor, but he grabbed the wall in time.
She felt as if she was floating all the way to the door and called out to Toli.
“Brother, come and get me on this side of the military zone”.
“It’s too far away, don’t come, follow dad back or be dropped off by big brother, I’m sleeping …”
“If you don’t come and pick me up, I’ll stay at your bar every day and I’ll stay there, and I’m unemployed now anyway.”
“You …”
“Let’s go”.
Carmencita took care of Toli in three or two.
The Ortis family differs from other families in that it is more “girl than boy”, with Toli being the grass of the family and Carmencita the girl of the family.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
The older people don’t think the bar is a good place to be, and they were all against it when Toli opened it. If Carmencita had gone to her place and waited, it would have been Toli who would have ended up on top.
Toli slowly got out of bed, feeling that she was not born into the Ortis family.
…
Carmencita waited at the door for a long time before Toli arrived.
During this time, Marco did not go to her either.
When he got into the car, he leaned listlessly against the window and did not speak to Toli.
Toli looked at her and asked aloud: “What’s wrong with you?
Carmencita looked at him and said with a sigh, “I had a fight with Marco. ”
“A fight?” Toli seemed to have heard a particularly funny joke with a look of disbelief, “Are you sure you weren’t the one being unilaterally told off?”
I didn’t think Carmencita would dare argue with Marco.
“Believe it or not.
Carmencita bristled, not believing herself to be arguing with Marco.
He took out his phone and flicked it hesitantly across the screen for a moment, pressed Marco’s phone number, flicked it away again, then pressed … again.
After many repetitions, Carmencita became increasingly irritated and threw the phone aside.
Toli didn’t take Carmencita’s words seriously either, as she was close to Marco and didn’t think for a second that what she said about the fight was true.
He turned his head to look at her: “Where are you going?
“What time does your bar open, go home”.
“What?” Toli looked at her with a shocked expression, “What do you want?”
“I’m just going to have a little fun, there’s no need to be so afraid, man?” Carmencita laughed a little indulgently.
Toli disliked it: “You and I aren’t really brothers, are we?
“Tell my father if you can”.
“Stinky girl”.
