Paula Rouco’s discreet return to her native country was exposed by some media outlet.
The next day it was hot.
“Internationally acclaimed pianist Momo makes a discreet return.”
Clicking on that direct link, the exhibitor posted the video.
The video shows Paula Rouco walking in and out of the airport alone with her head down wearing a black baseball cap and then, along with a man and a boy, down to a black Maybach business car.
“My God, the momo gods are back in the country.”
“I’m an art major, a piano major, and momo is really a great role model in the eyes of our piano students.”
“There are very few pianists with international reputations in the country, momo has to be considered one and he is young enough to be a rising talent.”
“But how can I track down the extranet and see something about momo having lost the piano?”
“There’s a lot of speculation in the foreign press that momo is dependent on medication for depression, which causes him to have lazy fingers.”
“No, it’s a shame that such a good, young pianist, if he really has depression, is partying.”
…
Severo Laris was in the Imperial neighborhood and a glint crossed his eyes as he slipped into this hot spot.
He’s back in the country, in The Holy City.
With one hand, Severo Laris strokes Costillas, who is eating cat food next to him, and with the other, he picks up his cell phone and dials a transatlantic number.
“Salvino, inform the Group’s overseas department to move some of their operations to The Holy City. ”
The MO Group has been planning to enter the country for more than a day or two now, with grand strategies deployed, and since Imperial and The Holy City are major cities in the country and economic hubs one to the south and one to the north, it was only a matter of time before the department’s operations were moved to The Holy City and Imperial.
It’s just that the boss has always been a deep thinker, who does things to kill but very calmly, this time, how could he decide so hastily?
For the business map matters, Severo Laris’ orders, Salvino did not dare to say much, “Yes, boss, I will report.”
Severo Laris hung up the phone, touched Costillas at his side and said, “You can soon meet her, happy?”.
Ribs: “Meow.”
…
The day after Paula Rouco returned to La Ciudad Santa, she was asked out by Susana.
As soon as they met, Susana started spitting at her like a madwoman.
“Paula Rouco! All these years you haven’t called me! How cruel you are! Do you know how much I’ve missed you all these years, and if you’ve abandoned me because you’ve made good friends in America?”
Paula Rouco looked at her as energetic as ever and her eyes sank slightly. “I didn’t mean to, I just felt you calling and I didn’t know what to say. And now that you have a fiance, it’s not good for me to keep calling and bothering you.”
Susana glared at her, “What do you mean by bothering me, you still think I’m your best friend, even if I’m married to Rufio, you’re going to call me when you should! He’s not as important as you are! Men are like clothes! Sisters are like brothers!”
Paula Rouco was amused, “If Rufio knew you said that, would he still want to marry you?”
Susana raised an eyebrow and said fiercely, “How dare he! If he won’t marry me, I’ll find myself a second wife.”
Seeing her recklessness, Paula Rouco knew that her relationship with Rufio must have been very strong over the years.
That’s enough.
They are, at least as a couple, complete and joyful.
Susana put her arm around his shoulders, lifted his chin and said, “Come on, Sis, I’ll take you to the cauldron.”
Paula Rouco quipped, “Are you paying for it?”
“That’s a must, to take him! Let’s go swipe Rufio’s card!”
Paula Rouco: “If I didn’t know better, I’d think you’d come to collect a debt from Rufio. ”
“Hm, he’s been at the Imperial lately, hasn’t called me in three days, I don’t know what the hell he’s doing, and I’ll be extra nice if I don’t fire him from his fiance position.”
Paula Rouco smiled, glad to see Susana happy.
When we arrived at the hot pot restaurant, Susana ordered a board of dishes, enoki mushrooms, tofu, tripe, beef rolls, duck tongue, duck intestines and konjac knots …
The two ate and chatted until two o’clock in the afternoon.
Susana looked at her with a satisfied smile and asked wistfully, “Little Paula, tell me the truth, did you have a boyfriend in America?”.
Paula Rouco spread her hands, “You students, look at my lonely single bitch look, where does it look like I have a Yankee boyfriend?”
“Pfft.” Susanna let out a laugh, “It’s okay, my sisters will introduce you to one!”.
“I’m not in the mood for a relationship right now. I don’t want to meet any new friends either.
Susanna frowned, “Look at you now, you don’t relate, you don’t bond, you work every day, you’re going to die of overwork like this, you know? I have to take you to get you high.”
“Where to?”
Susanna pulled a business card out of her purse and handed it to him, “Here, this Friday night there’s a benefit dinner at The Holy City, and your husband may be attending. I’m sure they’re all elite.
Paula Rouco gave him an expressionless look and handed the card back, “Such a boring benefit dinner, you’re on your own.”
“No, you’re still my best sister, you have to go with me! Paulita, look at you now you don’t see anyone all day, how are you going out like this?”
“I left.” Paula Rouco answered with a subconscious movement.
Susana bit her lip and finally became serious, “If you left, how did you know which way I meant when I just asked you how to leave?”
“…”
“Paulita, that man doesn’t deserve it, you deserve better.”
Paula Rouco pursed the corners of her lips, lowered her teary eyes and said weakly, “I didn’t expect it, I really didn’t.”
She’s just, she’s not in the mood for a relationship right now.
“Has she contacted you since she’s also in the States and doing so well?” asked Susana, hitting the nail on the head.
Paula Rouco had to admit she was stung, tugged at the corners of her slightly white lips and smiled with feigned disinterest, “No, he and I are both randy, why would he contact me?”
“Even though we’re alumni, there’s no need to be so desperate, not to mention the fact that some of us were such good friends in the first place.”
Paula Rouco bit her lip and said, “It’s not like it’s the first day you’ve met him, he’s always been a maverick. How he would get in touch with us.”
Besides, even if he did contact her, she didn’t know how to approach him.
Previously? As a former student? As an old friend?
