A smirk appeared on Laurinda’s face: “Of course I know you”.
With that, he even gave Allyce a pretentious look.
Laurinda’s look was a little comical to Allyce’s eyes.
But she just raised her eyebrows slightly and said to the waiter she had just called, “Sorry for the misunderstanding.
The waiter looked away and left, leaving Allyce and Laurinda facing each other.
It was a confrontation, but it wasn’t really a confrontation.
Allyce looked closely at Laurinda, her face was full of collagen and she looked very young, probably no more than twenty, but at first glance it was different from the feeling she had given Allyce yesterday.
It was not innocent, but rather domineering.
“But I don’t know you.” Allyce leaned back, one pair of long legs folded, looking lazy but with a touch of elegance.
After a difficult upbringing, with the early death of his parents, having met Severo and spent a year abroad studying management and business with a great businessman like Desiderio, his experiences were not comparable to those of ordinary people, and his temperament and substance grew with each passing day.
The contrast between a mature woman of twenty-four with some experience and a young woman under twenty who does not yet know what she is doing at school is so stark that Laurinda herself is aware of the difference.
Laurinda’s tone of voice became uncharacteristic as she became slightly irritated by this disparity: “Are you deaf? I just said my name – my name is Laurinda!
Allyce’s face sank, “And then what? You came to interrupt my lunch for no reason, just to tell me your name? I have a busy day and a lot of things to attend to at the office, I don’t have time for childish games like you.”
This Laurinda girl was uneducated and Allyce did not like to talk to her any more.
On the other hand, I could not deny that there was a hint of resentment.
Severo accompanies Laurinda to dinner at the night market.
Although he had acted reluctantly at first, he sat down after Laurinda pouted.
Her heart aches at the thought of Severo sharing his indulgence with another woman.
But he could not prove it.
I had to take the absolute initiative.
Laurinda growled, “I’m an adult, don’t be a child on the left and a child on the right, will you? Thanks to you being the director of Moon Culture, can’t you spell the word polite?
She hated people calling her a child.
Courtesy?
In the space of a few words, Allyce had already heard the word “manners” twice from Laurinda’s lips.
Laurinda herself had spoken aggressively and uneducatedly, and yet she still spoke to Allyce about manners?
Normally, Allyce would have just looked at such a person and let it go.
However, this Laurinda was clearly here to provoke her.
“So Miss Alaniz is an adult now? Since we’re all adults, let’s talk about it in an adult way”. Allyce’s face became serious as she spoke.
She had overheard Ester talking to other colleagues about how scared she was when she worked with a serious frown on her face.
Laurinda was undoubtedly a little intimidated by Allyce.
He spoke with a twinkle in his eye: “I came to see you today and you’re not very pretty”.
He added in his mind that it was not good make-up.
Allyce took it in her stride: “Yes, I’m not very pretty either, but Severo likes me just the way I am”.
The anger in Laurinda’s eyes rose unabashedly and then she blurted out, “Oh, where’s the confidence to say that? You don’t even live in his villa now, do you?
The girl who shouted in public …
I really didn’t think Severo would look at a girl like that.
Allyce replied coldly: “What we do as a couple is not something you should talk about.
“Why don’t you ask me how I know?”. Laurinda smirked, “Because I stayed at the villa last night, your husband is very kind.
Laurinda smiled a sweet smile.
Allyce’s face went cold, this Laurinda!
“Severo is a decent businessman, he has done charity, and it is only natural that he would take in a girl like you, who is a stray, for one night. In fact, Severo has always been a corrupt businessman.
“You …” Laurinda was irritated that Allyce had shown sanity.
It wasn’t supposed to be like this, wasn’t Allyce supposed to be angry and questioning her after she had come all this way? How could she be so calm?
Laurinda immediately broke down and shouted at Allyce: “I stayed with your husband one night and we slept together! Are you stupid? You haven’t even heard this.
“Whether my husband Severo sees you or not, how can you say something like having sex with someone else’s husband in public? Do you think you are justified? Or do you think you are being honourable? Miss Alaniz has surprised me a lot with her education”.
Allyce wasn’t angry, she would have sent Laurinda away if she hadn’t been so young and if she hadn’t thought things might be different from what she had seen and wanted to find out more about Laurinda.
Severo was so good, what kind of woman would dare to approach her in a show of provocation.
It was then that Laurinda realised that everyone around her was looking that way. She had always been willful and domineering and bad-tempered, saying whatever came into her head, and she had been so intent on wrenching the calm from Allyce’s face that she had forgotten that this was a restaurant and a public place.
“You …” Laurinda, who was young and didn’t usually do this sort of thing, turned pale and shot a stern look at Allyce before running off.
At that moment, Allyce’s request arrived.
Probably because she had just pissed Laurinda off, Allyce’s appetite had improved, probably because she had a darker heart.
But the good appetite didn’t last long before his watery eyes darkened.
Severo, that …
had not explained about Alonzo, and there was one more Laurinda.
She was a bit excited that day, but she really felt it was not necessary to make Senona’s son pay for his life, and Severo thought she was being unreasonable.
For Allyce, who had almost become a mother, killing an innocent, unborn child was not something she could bear.
Besides, Senona had repented, so why not give her a chance to start over?
Just as she was once alone in an isolated situation, Severo came along and pulled her through, and her life was never the same again.
She also wants to give someone else a chance to make a fresh start …
In a roundabout way, we seem to be back to square one.
What the hell was Severo thinking?
