Chapter 1641-Taste
Angelica signed the card and then handed it to the counselor to wrap it with perfume in a gift box. Manuel did not pay her because she wanted to pay for the gift herself. She paid for the purchase and then took the package and turned to Manuel.
“Done, we can go.”
“Okay ”
After the perfumery, they had lunch at a café and then Manuel drove her to school. Before Angelica left, Manuel gave her some instructions.
“Do you remember what to tell your neighbor?”
“Huh?” Angelica did not know what he was talking about.
Manuel sighed softly, “-I’m talking about the birthday. We talked about it in the afternoon, and you forgot so quickly?”
“- Oh, that’s what you’re talking about. Don’t worry, I remember everything, I didn’t immediately understand what you meant – then Angelica thumped in her chest, as if she was saying the oath. “I’ll give her a gift, and then I’ll explain that I can’t go to the party.
“Smart.”
Manuel patted her on the head. – Now go ahead. As soon as you arrive, go straight to bed. If she starts questioning you, just say you have things to do. And if she doesn’t calm down further, then give her a present. Understand?”
Angelica nodded as if she understood.
After that she said goodbye to Manuel and entered the campus.
When she returned to the dormitory, Livia had not yet returned because it was still early.
Michela was putting on her mask and Genara had just come out of the bathroom and greeted her warmly when she saw her return.
– Angelica, you’re back. Where were you today? Did you also buy anything? Genara began to ask her, seeing a package from an elite cosmetics store.
“Yes.” Angelica nodded her head, biting her lower lip slightly. She was thinking of the best way to let her know that she was not coming to her birthday party. Without making anything up, she decided to say everything straight.
“Genara, I have something to tell you.”
“What?”
“- About your birthday. I may not be able to come.”
Genara, who had a smile on her face, froze after hearing his words, only to recover a moment later.
“Why? After all, you already promised yesterday that you would come. Why did you suddenly change your mind?”
Angelica bit her lower lip and did not answer.
“Is something wrong, or do you still have a grudge against me?”
,
“”No,” Angelica shook her head. I had some things to do, so I won’t be able to go.”
With that said, Genara tried to ask another question when Angelica remembered Manuel’s words and stepped forward with the gift.
“- I bought something in advance. I may not be able to attend your celebration, but at least I will give you a gift.”
Genara stared, “Is this for me?”
The bag beautifully wrapped, Genara immediately became a little curious about what was inside.
“- Yes, this is a gift for you.
Taking it in her hands, Genara immediately guessed that there was something expensive inside. And although her family had a good income, but it could not compare to Angelica’s financial situation, so she was eager to find out what was inside. He would not even worry about Angelica’s absence from her birthday party if the gift turned out to be expensive and good. After discovering it, Genara discovered a perfume inside, but she had never seen the brand before.
“Well, I forgot to ask you what kind of perfume you like before I go, so I asked the shopper to find me one with a fragrance not too strong or light for you, I hope you like it.”
Genara was a little disappointed, she thought it was something of high value, but it turned out to be a bottle of perfume.
Genara began to think about how much they were worth. The gift did not meet her expectations, but for the sake of future plans, she hardly pulled a smile on herself.
“I like it very much, thank you.”
“Really? What about the fragrance?
Opening the cap, Genara smelled the fragrance and then nodded her head approvingly.
Yes great, thank you.
But are you sure you don’t want to consider going? I was going to introduce you to a lot of nice guys at my birthday party, they are going to love you now that you have changed so much.”
Remembering what Manuel had told her, Angelica said quickly, “I really have other things to do, I’m sorry, are you done in the bathroom yet? I’m going too.”
Closing the door behind her, she began to listen, but it was quiet, so she breathed a sigh of relief. What a great Manuel he was for advising her to do so.
Outside the bathroom, Genara approached Michela with the perfume box and frowned at her, pointing to the perfume in her hand with a disdainful expression on her face.
Michela looked sideways at the perfume bottle and whispered, “Mean, in the face of a millennial lady, to give such a scruffy gift.”
Genara thought the same as Michela and brought the cap of the perfume to her nose and sniffed it before saying, “- However, the aroma is very good. Of course, it is different from the ones I usually use. But it is so fresh and pleasant. I think it suits me.”
“Is it?” Michela sat down, “Let me see.”
Genara handed her the perfume and Michela took it and smelled it, “It seems to smell good, what brand is it?”
“- I don’t know, I’ve never seen one before. Most likely, some unfamiliar brand. After all, he hated me until recently. Of course, he wouldn’t have given me something expensive, Genara sighed. “If I had known she would give me a gift, I would have reconciled with her even earlier.”
Michela sneered at her words, “If you are worried, then don’t say such things in the future, the dormitory is so small, do you think she can’t hear you when she is in the shower?”
Genara blushed slightly and looked in the direction of the bathroom, lowering her voice a few degrees.
“I don’t think I can hear us, never mind, I’d better be careful from now on.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
After that he put the perfume away and thought of something else.
“By the way, she doesn’t want to come to my birthday party, how do we involve her?”
Michela got out of bed and threw the mask into the bucket, and then began to rub the remains of the cream on her face with her hands and answer her friend’s question, “It is normal that Angelica refused. However, she could not forgive us so quickly, we must give her time. Even if she doesn’t go, we still have Livia.”
“Right.”
“Just act carefully, we still have time.”
Genara sighed because she knew there was no other way out. At that moment, the door to the room opened. Livia returned from her part-time job. She looked tired and, without looking in the direction of the neighbors, immediately went to the bathroom.
“Angelica is in the shower.”
Hearing this Livia stopped.
Genara thought of something and stepped forward to approach her.
“Have you asked your boss about vacations yet?”
