A young Cuban identified on TikTok became a topic of conversation on social media after posting a nearly six-minute "story time" last Saturday in which she recounts how her Spanish boss at a hotel in Cuba went from being someone she disliked to becoming her partner.
In the video posted on TikTok, she explains that she was studying for a degree in Tourism, with a specialization in Business Administration, and was doing an internship at the hotel where she worked, under a Spanish manager who held an executive position.
For about a year of internships, the relationship was strictly professional and not at all promising from a romantic perspective. "Look, here comes this guy... he was always scolding me and I couldn't stand him," the young woman recalls with a laugh, describing Miguel as someone very demanding who arrived at work dressed elegantly, in a tie, and insisted that everything be perfect.
The turning point came unexpectedly: the university assigned her a project related to the head of the department, and she approached him for help. Instead of addressing her at work, he invited her out on a day off. "I have Tuesday off, let's go out, have lunch, and I'll bring my laptop so we can talk and I can help you," he said.
She agreed, although she acknowledges that she went to the date feeling nervous. "I was really shy, you know, it was my boss," she admits. However, that afternoon turned out to be the beginning of something more: "It was a very nice afternoon... we didn't eat much, but we had a wonderful time."
From that point on, the friendship grew through messages on WhatsApp, walks in Havana, and frequent outings during the boss's days off. On February 14, after several months of knowing each other, she decided to formalize the relationship. "I waited until I was sure about the step I was taking, and I told him yes," she shares.
The couple has been together for a year and six months. During that time, she traveled to Spain, returned to Cuba, and finally, they both moved to Mexico due to a job offer her partner received.
In the video, she also addresses one of the most debated topics among her followers: the age difference between them. "When you meet someone so good who supports you, who loves you, and with whom you feel so good, you forget what people say," she responds to her critics. She adds pragmatically, "Opinions are free; they don't charge to give an opinion, and you don't get paid anything."
