Although Allyce had been pestering Severo for a long time, he still refused to reveal a word.
Allyce had to wait for his words, “In a week, there will be results”, to come true.
But she had not waited for Severo’s words to come true, when another shocking piece of news had come to light.
…
Allyce finished reading the last of the papers and rubbed her sore neck when she heard her mobile phone ring.
When he picked it up, it was Severo’s phone.
The only thing is, even though she finished her work early today, but it’s still an hour before she gets off work, as a half-grown boss, taking the initiative to leave early doesn’t seem good.
Even though she thought about it, Allyce still picked up the phone, maybe not to pick her up from work, but just because there was something else.
“What’s wrong, what’s wrong?” Allyce clutched the phone in one hand, leaned back in her chair and looked up at the ceiling above her head.
This position would make his neck feel better; he had read too many newspapers today.
Severo’s voice, as always: “Come down”.
“But it’s not time to quit yet.” Allyce’s tone was a little difficult.
“Come downstairs and I’ll tell you exactly what’s wrong with Elvira”.
“Really …”
Before the words could be finished, the phone had been hung up.
Severe this bad guy, he just deliberately lured her ah.
Early retirement is fine, who made her a half-assed boss? So there is still a difference between her and ordinary employees.
At least ordinary employees who retire early are subject to salary deductions.
Allyce finished her things and was about to leave when Lucila burst in and ran towards Allyce in a frenzy: “Something big has happened!
“What’s the problem?” Allyce had long been used to Lucila’s fuss and didn’t much care.
Lucila looked disgusted at Allyce’s nonchalant expression and said in an aggravated tone, “Enzo has unilaterally announced that he is breaking off his engagement to Senona!”
“Oh.”
Allyce replied before snapping to attention: “What did you say?
“Enzo has dumped that little bitch Senona, rejoice!”. Lucila was full of emotion: “Let her be angry, let her be proud, let her pretend to be a little white lotus, let her be dumped!”
Lucila finished and burst out laughing.
Allyce looked at her, expressionlessly closing the door so that no one would burst in and hear Lucila’s abrasive laughter.
Only when Lucila finished laughing did she realise that something was not quite right about Allyce’s expression.
“Aren’t you glad they dumped Senona? Come on, smile. Lucila tapped him on the shoulder.
Allyce was in no mood to joke with her: “Severo just called and said he’s coming to pick me up”.
“So?” Lucila wondered, what was the connection between Enzo leaving Senona and Severo coming to pick up Allyce?
There wasn’t.
“I suspect he knew and that’s why he came early today to pick me up, I feel like I’m going to die.” Allyce sat expressionless on the sofa.
Although Severo had asked her on the phone if she wanted to know about Elvira, she always thought it was a lure for Severo to lure her into the net.
Lucila also took a seat next to him: “So what? I still don’t quite understand what the direct connection is, or can you tell us the indirect one?
“Last time, Severo misunderstood me and Enzo, he ignored me and didn’t listen to anything I said, he was like a different person, now that Enzo unilaterally broke off his engagement with Senona, will he think that I forced Enzo to do so?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Allyce almost shrieked as she remembered that she had actually said such a thing.
God, I was just saying that to suffocate Enzo, but who knew he would actually do such a thing.
…
Allyce and Lucila grumbled for a long time, but finally picked up their bags and went down to Severo with a sense of heroism.
As Severo finished his second cigarette, he turned his eyes and saw Allyce walking out of the Delahoz Group building in three-inch heels.
Her long, curly hair fell over her shoulders, her black uniform draped over her body, a coffee-coloured coat hung in the crook of her arm, which he asked her to bring with her when she left the house in the morning.
Allyce walked briskly to this side, her head of curly hair flying back, her black suit seemed slimmer and taller, and to Severo’s eyes, she was a rosebud with a rich fragrance.
Unlike the luxurious and noble roses, the buds, which also grow on thorn bushes, seem more discreet and introverted, but carry their own fragrance.
That’s why there are always people who want to get closer to their
Rosebud approaches.
“How long have you been waiting?”
Allyce opens the car door and sits down, turning her head to look at Severo with a smile.
After noticing Severo’s thoughtful look, Allyce’s heart skipped a beat – it can’t really be about the whole Enzo and Senona breaking off their engagement thing, specifically to find her, can it?
Severo said in a very light tone: “No”.
Then it went further, and after a while, Allyce realised that this was not the direction she was going home.
“Where to?”
“Go for dinner”.
The question and the answer were terse.
Allyce was silent for a moment before she asked again, “Did you say Elvira …”.
Severo interrupted her directly: “Let’s talk about it after dinner”.
……
Severo took her to Kimdis.
Allyce thought it was normal, the two of them looking for a private room for dinner, but she didn’t expect Severo to take her up to the top floor.
Allyce had never been to Kimdis’ penthouse before.
Luxury presidential suite, huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the city at sunset, red wine and western food, a room full of … rosebuds?
Allyce stopped at the door and froze, turning her head to look at Severo, who had been standing behind her since she pushed open the door, “What is this for … to do?”
Severo curved his lips into a smile, even with his eyebrows stretched, as if the top of the snowy mountains shining sun, both warm and dazzling, but also unattainable.
He led Allyce inside, closed the door with his hand and led her further in until he stopped at the long dining table in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
He smiled and asked: “Do you like it?
“I like … too.” Allyce looked silently at the room full of roses, not that she didn’t like romance, but she didn’t quite understand romance decorated with roses ah.
This reluctant tone in his voice heard that Severo was very dissatisfied.
The smile on his face was suddenly cut off and he returned to his usual calm, but his tone was especially harsh in his displeasure, “That’s it, is there anything else you want to say?”
Allyce swallowed noiselessly under his cold gaze.
The head is a knife, the head is also a knife, she might as well take the initiative to say so, anyway, Enzo and Senona broke off the engagement and she had nothing to do with it!
Allyce made up her mind, bit her lip and said, “The issue of Enzo and Senona breaking off their engagement has nothing to do with me!”
Severo’s face changed: “What did you say?
Allyce blinked in confusion, Severo still didn’t know about this?
