Severo Laris’ fiery quest to stand up for justice and help the less fortunate exploded in an instant.
Rufio’s tweets were full of praise for Severo Laris and, of course, there were many women gushing over Severo Laris’ pretty face.
Rufio laughed and said to Severo Laris, who was lying on the hospital bed, “Now you can’t go unnoticed! You’re on fire as a lawyer.”
Severo Laris picked up Rufio’s phone and looked at the tweets that were trending, but his brow tightened.
Rufio sneered, “Look at you, you’ve become an internet celebrity, don’t forget your brother when you get rich!”.
Severo Laris’ face was cold, his thin lips pursed, and he spoke, “You send two men to protect Paula in secret. ”
Rufio wondered, “What’s wrong with Paulita?”
“Don’t forget what the defendant’s parents are doing this time, they dared to send someone to block my trial before it started, and now that we have won this case, there is no guarantee that they won’t hold a grudge and carry out revenge behind her back.”
At the mention of this, Rufio patted him on the head, “That’s right, I won’t be able to be with you every day for a few days, I’ll ask my two bodyguards to come and keep an eye on you before you get stabbed again, luckily this one didn’t hit the nail on the head.”
“Sounds good to me, it’s a hospital, they can’t get into trouble.”
Rufio was about to make a call to do so when he noticed another oddity and turned his head to look at Severo Laris with amusement and asked, “No, we won the case, the other side is going to retaliate against us, what does this have to do with Paula? ”
Severo Laris looked at her gossipy expression and tossed out a direct, “She’s my girlfriend now, do you have a problem with that?”
Alonso’s father, a prominent figure in Imperial circles, wanted to investigate something as easily as possible. The fact that they had sent someone to keep an eye on him this morning in the Lin 14 lane, where he frequently went, meant that they had secretly sent someone to keep an eye on him earlier.
And lately, his contact with Paula Rouco had been too frequent and intimate, and it would not be impossible for the other party to deliberately take revenge on Paula Rouco.
“Oh~” Rufio looked at him with a greedy expression on his face, “It’s true that there is a veil between a woman and a man, I really didn’t expect Paulita, the girl, to be so powerful and catch up with you so fast.”
Severo Laris didn’t bother to give her explanations, but pressed him, “Can you go faster?”.
Rufio stared at him, smiling dejectedly, “Beg me.”
Severus Laris gave him an expressionless look and dropped two words under his breath in a hard voice: “Please.”
Rufio was in a good mood, “Well, even the noble Lawyer Severo has to beg for something… he’s in love, by the looks of it.”
Thinking of Paula Rouco, Severo Laris frowned again and asked Rufio, “Where’s my phone?”
“It’s in the drawer.”
Severo Laris opens the drawer of the cabinet next to the hospital bed, pulls out his cell phone and opens it. There are five or six missed calls, all from Paula Rouco.
A flash of concern crossed Severo Laris’ eyes and he calls her back.
…
Paula Rouco, who received the call from Severo Laris, felt a little betrayed because it was too late to call her….
I wanted to hang up without further ado, but I couldn’t stand it, and I feared even more that she wouldn’t call me back in the future, so I hung up with a snort.
Once connected, Paula Rouco said, “You stood me up. stern, you know that if it had been anyone else, this one time would have been enough to blacklist me in my mind…”
Before she could finish her angry speech, Severo Laris, on the other side, making sure nothing had happened to her, said, “Don’t come to me these days.”
Before Paula Rouco realized what was happening, she was splashed from head to toe with this cold water from Severo Laris.
The tone of his voice, nonchalant, and with no intention of apologizing to her.
“Severo, what do you mean?”
Severo Laris is not a person who is good at explanations, and at this juncture, the more he explains, the more he knows, and the worse it gets.
“Literally.”
Paula Rouco was even more furious: “But if you said yesterday that you had something to tell me after the second trial, Severo Laris, is that what you were going to tell me?”
The only thing I had to tell him was to stop bothering him?
“…” Severo Laris, over there, is silent.
Severo Laris, do you know how much you hurt people?”
After shouting, Paula Rouco simply hung up the phone.
If she had known he was going to reject her, she would not have answered the phone sooner.
The bitterness inside, widens.
For her family, she was rarely rejected as a child, she was always the one who rejected people, but with Severo Laris it was the other way around.
She hadn’t fallen down with anyone, but with Severo Laris she always seemed to get hurt.
…
Inside the hospital.
Severo Laris leans on the bed, clutching his phone, his face cold.
Rufio bites into his apple, “One minute you say the girl is your girlfriend and the next you abuse her, Severo Laris, I’ve never seen you like this.”
“I do it for her own good.”
“Fuck you, that for her sake, you think she really doesn’t know if you don’t tell her what happened today? You think she’s deaf or blind? You think she’s a village idiot with no internet access? By tomorrow at the latest, your story will be all over our school, by then she’ll know even if she doesn’t get on Twitter.”
Severo Laris didn’t think much of it, just that he hadn’t seen her lately, “You don’t talk much anyway.”
“I’m not going to talk too much! I’m not going to interfere with your young love, I’m an old man.”
After a while, Rufio’s cell phone rang and, reading the caller ID, Rufio slipped the uneaten apple into Severo Laris’ hand.
“I’m done with you, I have a date tonight too. I’ve already ordered the bodyguard, you don’t have to worry about Paulita’s safety, but you, alone in the hospital, do you need me to call a caretaker for you?”
“No need.” It wasn’t like I was seriously injured and one could just pick oneself up off the floor.
“Then you can call me if you need anything, or ask Lastra to come.”
Rufio left the room and immediately picked up the phone.
The delicate female voice on the other end asked fiercely, “Rufio, what’s taking you so long to answer the phone!”
“It’s just that I had a bit of a thing, why, do you miss me?” Rufio sounded a little heavy.
“Hmph, I don’t miss you, it wasn’t you who said you wanted to invite me to dinner tonight, I’m at the restaurant, where are you?”
Susanna over there, waiting a little impatiently, “When are you coming?”
Rufio opened the door, got in, started the car and said, “Baby, wait for me for another fifteen minutes, a colleague of mine had an incident today and has been hospitalized, which has delayed him a bit.”
Rufio has never been a proper person, he has always been spontaneous and loose, and treats relationships like an advanced player.
Susanna, who seemed like a big-hearted girl but was a novice at relationships, blushed when he called her “babe” and said, “Who’s your babe?” she said.
“Not me, babe, and hooking up and bothering me that night.”
Susanna blushes even more when she talks about it.
That night, she accompanied Paula Rouco to a bar to get drunk, then got drunk and inexplicably had a one-night stand with a guy named Rufio.
Rufio and Susana are two fast and hot guys who have a thing for each other, and Rufio, being a playboy, begins a passionate pursuit of Susana within days.
Susana gritted her teeth: “Go to hell! Mention that night again and I’ll leave right now without waiting for you for dinner.”
With those words, Susana cut the phone viciously.
Damn Rufio, he’s talking out of his ass, I’ll kill him later!
