Allyce knew that Severo was busy with this matter.
She knew that he deliberately did not come home.
When he got home that day, he went into his study and ordered his men to take care of things.
Then, with a simple “I’m going”, he left.
He was out for three or four days.
The news of Jonas’ public apology also trended for three or four days.
The people of Cloud Cit have been watching the commotion, first with the revelation of Severo’s biological father, and then with the reopening of a murder that took place more than a decade ago.
Allyce looked in the direction of the door; Severo probably wouldn’t be back today after all.
I had a vague idea why Severo was not coming back.
Since she wasn’t coming back, she would have to find him herself.
…
Severo had been staying in Kimdis for the past few days.
He dealt with the aftermath of this Jonas affair and then stayed in the office and Kimdis.
He had not been home for three or four days.
“President?”
Severo was brought out of his thoughts by the slightly strained voice and turned his head towards where the voice was coming from.
He nodded to the senior who had spoken, withdrew his arm from the conference table and leaned back, his face slightly impatient: “Well, carry on”.
The senior was quick to nod in response, “Yes …”.
In fact, he had said it twice.
It was understandable that the president was so distracted.
The first thing that had just come to light was that Jonas was Severo’s biological father, and then Jonas got involved in a case more than ten years ago and became the murderer.
And the person who is said to be the scapegoat is the real father of the president’s wife …
Without waiting for the executives to continue, Severo suddenly stood up and said: “Forget it, we are adjourned.
After saying this, he took a big step outside.
Before he could reach the office door, he saw the secretary carrying tea and trying to push open the office door.
Severo asked aloud: “Who’s here?
The secretary turned her head, nodded slightly and spoke respectfully: “It’s the lady.
Was Allyce here?
Severo’s whole body stiffened for a moment, his eyes fell on the tray the secretary was holding, and he spoke aloud: “Change it for something else, it’s not fit for tea these days.
After saying this, Severo turned and walked to the other side, taking out a cigarette and lighting it as he went.
The secretary was stunned, so she turned away and went back to replace Allyce’s hot milk tea.
Although Severo did not say anything explicitly, the secretary was also a woman and could probably guess.
Inwardly, he was a little surprised by the President’s attention.
When the secretary brought the hot tea and milk, Allyce was still sitting on the sofa waiting.
The secretary put the milk tea in front of Allyce: “Madam”.
“Thank you, is your president still in a meeting?” asked Allyce as she looked up.
The secretary had just received the president at the door, but she had not entered directly, normally the lady came to him, no matter how urgent the meeting was again, she came in a hurry ….
It wasn’t good for him to guess anything, he just said, “The president is still busy, wait a while, he should be done soon”.
“Hmm.
The smile on Allyce’s face darkened after she saw the secretary leave.
…
Outside the door.
The secretary had just closed the door and turned around when she was surprised by Severo, who had appeared behind her at some point in front of her.
Severo was dressed in black and his face was solemn, as if he were going to a funeral.
The secretary secretly wiped away a cold sweat: “President”.
Severo asked him with an expressionless face: “What have you changed?
The secretary was quick to reply: “Tea with milk”.
Severo: “Hmm”.
“Then I’ll get to work.
Seeing that Severo seemed to have no further intention of speaking, the secretary turned and left.
Severo stared at the office door for a few seconds before pushing the door open and entering.
When Allyce saw him enter, she hurried to put down the milk tea in her hand and stood up, a smile blooming on her lips, “Are you finished?”
“What are you doing here?”
Severo’s hands were cupped in the pockets of his suit trousers, his eyes downcast as he watched her.
“I came to see you …”, Allyce’s words, which had been justified, were somewhat distorted by Severo’s gaze.
“Is something wrong?”
Severo said, giving him a sidelong glance as he took a step towards the back of his desk.
Allyce followed: “You haven’t been home for a few days, I’ve come to see you”.
Severo sat back in his chair, opened a file and read it.
Without looking up, he said: “Now that you’ve seen it, can you go?
Allyce asked him: “Are you going home today?
“I don’t know. Severo finished and added, “I may not make it back, you don’t need to wait for me.”
“Hmm.
Allyce looked closely at Severo, who had not seen him for three or four days, and realised that he looked much worse again.
“Have you been smoking?”
At this, Severo’s hand faltered and he suddenly slapped the paper in his hand, exclaiming: “You’re annoying!
“I …” Allyce froze.
Severo had never been so loud with her.
Severo’s eyes flickered slightly as if he wanted to say something, but all that finally came out of his mouth was: “Come back”.
Allyce pursed her lips, holding back the bitterness in her heart, and said in a firm voice, “I’ll be back when I’m done, I just want to tell you that my father was a decent and kind man all his life, and he will die with a clean slate, and now that the truth is out, he can rest easy in heaven, and that’s enough, what matters most are the living.”
I had no desire for Jonas to take his life if he was truly remorseful.
Orlin was dead, Ariela was dead.
The only one left alive was Jonas, Severo’s real father.
Severo may send Jonas to prison, but he does not necessarily want to see Jonas sentenced to death: he is his own father.
The colder a person is, the more he cares about his feelings.
Allyce feels that Severo has been out of it for the last few days and has not come home because of this incident.
No one knows how much she hates Jonas, who ruined her childhood, her father and her whole growing up period.
But after meeting Severo, none of that mattered any more.
So she didn’t want to worry so much anymore, and she was sure that her father in heaven wouldn’t mind so much either.
Because his father was an indulgent and contented man.
Severo looked at her with a cold face: “Leave when you’ve said enough”.
Allyce was also a little angry at these words.
He pursed his lips tightly, stared at Severo for a moment and said, “Don’t smoke or drink, and don’t stay up too late, I’m leaving.
After saying that, he threw up his hand and left.
“Bang!”
Allyce closed the door with a loud bang.
Severo sat there for a long time without moving, and after a long while, he suddenly stood up and swept everything on the desk in front of him onto the floor.
The secretary, who had just come to deliver the documents, heard the commotion inside and asked: “President?
Severo roared: “Get out!
