The next morning, Elisa woke up a little earlier, took care of her hygiene, had a nice hot bath, got dressed, and went downstairs. She had no idea what Christian had done, so she was willing to make a deal with the dean.
As she went downstairs, she found Christian already having coffee at the table, Soledad was finishing setting the table.
Elisa — Good morning!
Christian — Good morning!
Soledad — Good morning, dear!
She sits down and helps herself to cake and coffee with milk, Soledad had already noticed her taste for cakes, so she started making them always for her, Christian, on the other hand, was overflowing with joy to see her having coffee beside him, he tries not to let this feeling show, but it was almost impossible.
The two eat in silence, only the sound of the cutlery hitting is heard, after the coffee, Elisa gets up a little hurriedly, she wanted to arrive a little earlier to try to resolve the situation with the dean.
Christian — Elisa, wait I want to talk to you!
He gets up and they both go outside together, the new driver was already there parked next to the car, just waiting to take her to college.
Christian — Elisa, this is Aisha, from today she will be your driver, and she will always be at your disposal!
Elisa — Good morning, Aisha!
Aisha — Good morning, ma'am, it will be a pleasure to serve you!
Christian — Have a great day, Elisa!
Elisa — Thank you, you too...
Aisha opens the car door and Elisa gets in, then she nods to Christian in the affirmative, that she would carry out all his orders, gets in the driver's side starting the car.
He stands there watching until the car disappears, soon after Marcio parks the boss's car in front of the mansion.
Marcio — Good morning, boss!
Christian — Good morning, leave the car ready, I'll be right back.
…
During the way Elisa puts on her headphones and goes in silence, just watching the road. At times, Aisha watched her through the rearview mirror, but Elisa's head was elsewhere, some time later they arrive at the university.
Aisha gets off and opens the door for Elisa, it was an extremely expensive and luxurious car, in fact Christian had already bought it especially for her, as she gets off she thanks her and at that moment Filipa was also arriving.
"Lisa, what a car... Wow!"
Elisa just smiles shyly
Filipa - Where did you get to yesterday, girl? We took a test and you missed it!
Elisa - I was called to the dean's office...
Filipa - You? That's new, and what did he want?
Elisa - Nothing much... And was the test easy?
(They walk into the campus)
Filipa — A little... Girl, I was thinking... we hardly have any time for ourselves anymore, Anderson is always on our tail, right?
Elisa — What do you mean?
Filipa — I'm already sick of him, for me, we forget he exists!
Elisa — Oh, don't be mean, he's a little clumsy, but he's a good person!
Her friend rolls her eyes, sometimes she hated Elisa's way of only seeing the good in people.
Already inside the campus, Elisa asks Filipa to go ahead and goes to the dean's office, she waits a while, as there was another student inside.
Elisa — Good morning!
Dean — Good morning! Elisa, how can I help you?
She sits down
Elisa — Well... I, I know you told me the deadline was only until today, but I wonder if we can make a deal? Give me a few days until I can get the money...
Dean — Don't worry about it anymore, the debt has already been paid, you can go to your classroom!
Elisa frowns in disbelief.
"Did my father pay?"
Dean — Your father? No.
Elisa — If it wasn't my father, then who was it?
Dean — A man came to me yesterday, claiming to be your husband and that you were his responsibility from now on, I even thought it was strange, I didn't know you were married, but when he wrote a check and gave it to me I had no more doubts!
Elisa goes still and pale, as if all the blood had drained from her face.
Dean — Are you okay?
Elisa — Y-yes... I... I just need some air! (stammers)
She gets up, takes her things and leaves as fast as she can, the man doesn't understand anything, but he doesn't care either, soon returning his attention to the computer in front of him. As she leaves Elisa bumps into someone, the person says something but she doesn't even hear, she was too euphoric and disturbed, her breathing was heavy and coming out with difficulty, a thousand things were going through her mind...
She runs to the bathroom in an attempt to wash her face and compose herself, there were two other girls there, the two look at Elisa, but say nothing, Elisa turns on the faucet and wets her hands and then takes them to the top of her head and back of her neck to try to calm down.
At that moment Raquel enters the bathroom looking for her cousin.
"Lisa, what happened? I saw you running in here, are you feeling sick?"
Elisa — Cousin, I...
Raquel looks back and sees the two of them just standing there watching the situation.
"Why are you two standing there? Get out of here, if you're not going to help, don't get in the way."
The two leave without saying a word.
Raquel — Cousin what's going on?
Elisa — I don't know... I think I'm having a panic attack!
Raquel — Try to stay calm, take a deep breath, come on, count with me, one.... two.... three
As Raquel counted, Elisa followed slowly, until her heart rate slowed down.
Finally the two left the bathroom and went to sit on the benches under the trees in the courtyard, as they drew fresh air into their lungs, Elisa felt better, she was calmer and able to think more clearly.
Raquel — Feeling better?
Elisa — Yes, thank you, cousin. I don't know what I would do without you!
Raquel — I already told you I'm always here for you! But tell me, what left you like this?
Elisa explained what had happened and Raquel was quite intrigued.
"Wow, I don't understand... How did your husband know about this, if no one else but you knew?"
Elisa — I don't know, unless.... that's it!
Raquel — Huh?
Elisa — It could only have been Dad, he told me to ask Christian for the money, but I told him I would never ask him for money!
Raquel — Well, on the other hand, your father was right, Lisa, your husband helped you, right? I was wrong, maybe he's not that bad!
Elisa — Even so, Quel, he should have consulted me first, now my father's debt has tripled...
Raquel — What are you going to do?
Elisa — First I'm going to have a very serious talk with that cynic, can you believe that yesterday he came to me apologizing for the inconvenience in the early hours?
Raquel — Seriously? Oh cousin, I have no doubt, this man likes you! But what about it, do you forgive him or not?
Elisa — I forgave him like a fool, I should have ignored him!
Raquel — Hmmm does that mean you're starting to like hubby too, huh?
She lets out a loud laugh and Elisa slaps her arm!
"Of course not, girl, don't get carried away!"
Raquel — I need to meet this man, after all! When are you going to introduce him to me?
Elisa — Are you trying to steal your own cousin's man? (she asks playfully)
Raquel — (laughs) Of course not, you jealous girl, the mighty Christian Fox is all yours, but who knows, maybe he has a friend to introduce me to?
The two chat until the bell rings and then each goes to their classroom.
