Carla's grandmother was getting old and worried that she would not be able to continue taking care of Carla, so she sought out grandmother Luisa from Salvador, hoping that she could introduce a suitable man to Carla, and grandmother Luisa's grandson was single at the right age.
The older generation always felt that a girl's ultimate fate should be to get married, no matter with whom, as long as she got married, she would have fulfilled her duty.
After what happened three years ago, and seeing so many marriages falling apart around her, Carla didn't have many expectations about her marriage.
She believed that if she found the right man, she could get married, but if she didn't find him, there was nothing wrong with remaining single for the rest of her life.
But to appease her grandmother, Carla agreed to marry grandmother Luisa's grandson.
Carla quickly arrived at her destination. When she got out of the taxi, she saw a tall man standing at the entrance of the hall.
He was wearing a plain white shirt and black pants, but his appearance was impressive, and the women passing by couldn't help but take a second look.
He was talking on the phone, undistracted.
Carla took out her phone and found the photo her grandmother had sent her. That man was the person in the photo, only in real life he was even more handsome.
Carla approached him, and when she got closer, he ended the call and looked at her, asking, "Are you Carla?"
Not only was he handsome, but he also had a pleasant voice.
Carla nodded, "Are you Lucas Bento?"
Lucas Bento nodded, and then turned and walked towards the hall.
His steps were long and fast, and Carla had to run a little to keep up. "Are you sure you want to get married?"
Lucas Bento stopped and looked at his watch, "Do you have any concerns?"
Carla wanted to ask, do you know her? Do you know about my past?
But then she thought, he was probably like her, being forced to get married under the pressure of the elders in the family, not out of true love, so it didn't really matter if they knew each other or not.
Just like her, she only knew that he was grandmother Luisa's grandson, and she didn't even know what his job was.
Carla nodded, "Let's go then."
When she saw the new marriage certificate, she could hardly believe it. That was when Lucas Bento handed her a bank card.

"I've been very busy with work lately and don't have time to take care of you. Take this card, the password is the number 7 seven times, and you can use the card however you want."
Carla was stunned, and when she recovered, Lucas Bento had already gotten into a car and left.
She looked at the bank card in her hand, feeling that it was warm to the touch.
Carla took a photo of the marriage certificate and sent it to her grandmother, "Grandma, we got the marriage certificate."
Her grandmother replied with a single word, "Good." Carla put away her phone, feeling a little heavy.
The hometown where Carla lived was like this, if a woman is still single, she is pressured to get married, and after she gets married, she is pressured to have children, as if women cannot have their own lives.
It seemed that Carla was married, but also not.
A year passed quickly, and Salvador was in the hottest season again.
During this year, Carla, due to her exceptional professional performance, was transferred to the headquarters office of the Antonio Business Group.
As everyone awaited the arrival of the Group's president, the door of the president's exclusive elevator opened and two men and a woman stepped out.
The man in front was wearing silver-framed glasses, was at least six feet tall, and his body and face were impeccable.
Carla thought he looked familiar and couldn't help but look a few more times...
"Carla, that's our president, Director Antonio," whispered her colleague Yolanda Escotet in her ear. "There was a girl in our office who had feelings for Director Antonio that went beyond a work relationship. She ended up being fired."
Carla had been working in the central office for less than a year and had never seen the director before. She only knew that he was under 28 years old, but she didn't expect him to be so handsome
