The acquisition of the Delahoz group by the Alvidrez group was big news at Cloud Cit, a sensation that dominated the front pages of the media for several days before it gradually subsided.
For several days, Allyce has been working with Desiderio on this issue.
A final press conference was held today, after which the heat disappeared from the story.
Allyce went to the bathroom to fix her make-up before re-entering the room.
As soon as he sat down next to Desiderio, Desiderio gave him a look that signified it was time to begin.
The journalists started by asking the usual questions about the future management of Delahoz and the management philosophy of the Alvidrez group, etc.
In the end, the journalists’ questions kept changing.
“I heard that Miss Allyce was originally a daughter of the Delahoz family, why is she working for Alvidrez? Miss Allyce is said to be highly regarded by President Alvidrez”.
Allyce frowned slightly at his words and stepped up to the microphone, her voice muffled: “Sorry, it’s a personal question, it’s not part of the scope of answering questions today, no comment”.
The journalist’s words were, to put it mildly, excessively personal.
The words “Miss Allyce is very dear to the president, Alvidrez” were a reference to Allyce’s secret relationship with Desiderio.
Allyce’s face did not look good at this malicious speculation.
While it was true that her relationship to Desiderio had not been announced, she felt it was not necessary to do so at all.
Desiderio, who was sitting on the sidelines, suddenly spoke up and asked: “Which newspaper are you from?
The reporter’s face glowed with a hint of panic at the question: “Yo, I’m from … Cloud Cit newspaper”.
As soon as Desiderio opened his mouth to speak, the eyes of the crowd were already on the reporter.
The reporters who could come to such a formal occasion for an interview were all intelligent people.
As soon as they heard Desiderio’s words, they realised that he suspected that the reporter was not a financial journalist at all.
Soon, someone from the Cloud Cit newspaper asked him: “How come I haven’t seen you before, are you new here?
There are many reporters in a newspaper, but not many in the finance section, let alone those who can come to such formal occasions, they all have certain qualifications, and after staying in the same section for a long time, it is impossible for colleagues not to know each other.
The reporter’s face was even more upset.
Desiderio had already asked his assistant to approach him.
When the assistant approached, he politely addressed the journalist: “Your press card, please”.
The journalist’s face went white, and she suddenly raised her head and her eyes fell directly on Allyce.
“Yes, I’m not a reporter for Cloud Cit, I’m Candy’s entertainment reporter, and I just wanted to ask Ms. Allyce, was it you who forced Izar’s sudden retirement?”
The journalist spoke so quickly and urgently that it was too late to stop him.
When Allyce heard the word “Izar”, her face turned cold.
Before I could say anything, Desiderio had already said: “Get this journalist out of here”.
Then someone stepped forward and dragged the journalist out.
But as she walked away, the journalist shouted reluctantly: “It must have something to do with you, you broke the relationship between her and Severo and made Severo force Itzal to leave show business, Allyce, the most poisonous woman, in vain considered you her best friend …”.
As journalists spoke quickly and loudly, and bodyguards ushered her out of the room at a pace that could almost be described as rapid, her voice still reached everyone present.
Desiderio’s normally placid face showed a hint of displeasure.
Allyce’s eyes are downcast and she sighs. After today’s press conference, the acquisition of Delahoz by the Alvidrez family had settled down, but she hadn’t expected such a setback halfway through.
Desiderio is very strict with his work, so it was hard to be happy when this happened at the press conference.
It was probably because the former Delahoz group is a very important player in Cloud Cit and now that it has been bought by Alvidrez, which shows that Alvidrez is also a very strong company, that these people did not dare to say or do anything else.
Nevertheless, the press conference ended well.
…
Back to Moon Culture Media.
The atmosphere in the carriage was somewhat depressing.
Allyce and Desiderio were sitting next to each other.
Allyce glanced sideways at Desiderio and found him leafing through a file.
Allyce felt grateful and guilty that he had to help her with the Delahoz group when she already had so much on her plate.
He gave Desiderio an attentive look and said, “Uncle, I’ve been a nuisance to you these last few days …”.
“It’s no bother.” Desiderio said without raising his head.
His attention was still focused on the papers.
However, Allyce could still hear his displeasure in his tone.
Allyce thought about it and decided to talk about what had just happened at the press conference.
“Only at the press conference …”
But instead, Desiderio snorted roundly and said: “You don’t have to explain, it was all Severo’s fault! This was all supposed to be something he was supposed to take care of”.
Allyce snorted and hung her head in silence.
He remembered that … Desiderius didn’t seem to hate Severo so much before, did he?
Before he had only been angry with Severo, whereas now it sounded as if he was upset with Severo.
When Desiderio was like this, Allyce could say no more.
Desiderio was already a man of restrained temperament, and he said only that, and said no more.
…
The press conference ended at that point, but the aftermath was very strong.
It didn’t take until the next day, and the news spread the same evening.
When Allyce left work, she found a traffic jam of journalists in front of the office.
“Miss Delahoz, hello, I am a journalist and I would like to ask you about the sudden retirement of Izar …”.
“Miss Delahoz, I’m …”
Izar’s fame was enormous, and with the sudden announcement of his retirement and disappearance from the public scene, and the short time that has passed since this happened, the hype is still at an all-time high.
Some newspapers had been tempted to approach Allyce, but no one dared to do so because of Severo’s status.
Now that Delahoz has been acquired by Alvidrez, it is a time of great exposure and need for a positive image.
When the press came knocking at his door, Allyce had to give an answer, for reasons of reason.
Of course, this is exactly what journalists think.
Deep down, Allyce didn’t care about that.
“Sorry, no comment. Allyce coolly pushed the microphone in front of her away, her face flushed with cold.
Then he turned to leave.
The journalists came straight after her.
Allyce’s gaze turned even colder as she raised her voice and shouted, “private security”.
Luckily, I was at the entrance of the company, and as soon as Allyce was reached by the reporters, a private security guard came running towards her.
