“How did the young master get hurt?”
Severus was so tall that several maidens were considerably shorter than him, he did not look at them sideways, but lowered his eyelids slightly in a sidelong stance, which made several maidens cool down even more.
The three maids were startled by Severo’s appearance and trembled as none of them dared to speak.
Severo’s voice was low, clearly impatient: “No?”
“I was pouring water for the master, and the water was too hot, so the master spilled it and burnt his hand. One of the maidservants was trembling as she spoke, and after she finished a sentence, her whole body began to shake.
Severo spoke coldly: “If you have made a mistake, go consciously”.
The maid immediately opened her mouth and begged: “Sir, this time it was my mistake, it will definitely not happen again, I beg you to let me continue working as a maid in your house …”.
Most of the women who worked as servants in the house were not from good families, but they had clean backgrounds and were skilled, and working as a servant in Severo’s house naturally paid a considerable salary, no less than those of the white class, so none of them wanted to be expelled.
“Next time? If there is a next time, I’m afraid they’ll take you out if you want to leave.” Severo’s cold face was as cold as a layer of frost, his handsome face looked as dark as Satan.
“I’ll go.” The servant saw this, but not daring to say another word, turned and ran away.
Severo turned his head to look at the other two, who ducked their heads in fear.
“Go downstairs and pass the word that if this happens again, it won’t be as simple as letting you go.” Severo finished and waved a hand, indicating that they could go about their business.
Allyce stood in the hallway on the first floor and didn’t really hear what Severo said, listening as the two maids flew away as if they had seen a ghost, was Severo so scary?
…
When the Severo family arrived in Kimdis in the afternoon, everyone else had already arrived.
At the large round table in the box, Lucila and Neto stood to one side, as if to form a dividing line.
Xabat sat to the left of Neto and Victorino next to Xabat.
“Allyce!” as soon as Lucila saw Allyce, she stood up and walked towards her.
As he approached, he reached out and squeezed Alonzo’s small cheeks, and then, not feeling strong enough, he approached Alonzo: “Alonz, let Auntie hug you.
Severo had lived with Neto for a few days and knew Lucila well enough to reach out to her.
Lucila took it with a smile: “Sit down with Auntie, Auntie will give you something special and delicious to eat”.
Lucila talks to him as she places him in the child seat.
Once seated, Alonzo craned his neck to look at Allyce and Severo, and only when he saw Allyce sitting next to him did he turn his head towards the table as if relieved.
“Ding!”
Neto banged the bowl with his spoon, catching Alonzo’s attention: “Look, little one, call your uncle”.
“Uncle!” Alonzo called out to Neto in a whistling voice.
“Fantastic, finally no more ‘piggies’?” Neto looked as happy as if his son could call his father.
Xabat intervened at the right moment: “Mr Pastrano, the master will now call you ‘uncle’, do you want to give a big bonus?”
Lately I had picked up red envelopes in the LK Group Facebook group and Kimdis Facebook group, and I knew that people from Z would receive red envelopes when they met their elders on New Year’s Day.
“Here, of course!” Neto banged on the table and stood up, opening his wallet and handing it to Alonzo: “Little one choose yourself.”
Allyce glanced sideways, Neto’s wallet contained nothing but a thick pile of cash and a countless number of bank cards.
Allyce raised an eyebrow in distaste, Alonzo was too young to choose anything, Neto had said so, of course he couldn’t take advantage of him, he wasn’t short of money anyway.
Allyce was about to say something when, suddenly, Severo reached out, grabbed Alonzo’s little hand and pulled the only black card out of Neto’s wallet.
Neto jumped up and shouted, “Holy shit, Severo, you’re cheating! We said we’d let Alonzo choose for himself”.
“Alonzo, tell Papa, did you choose this black card yourself?” said Severo, smiling with a slight hook of his lips.
Alonzo was pleased to see his father smile and nodded repeatedly, not caring what he said.
Neto gritted his teeth, his black card globally limited!
Lucila growled coldly: “It’s just a black card, what’s the big deal, petty?
Neto laughed in exasperation at his words: “It’s for my future wife anyway, it was originally yours too, I didn’t expect you to be so generous.
Lucila was slow to respond: “What does your future wife have to do with me!
Neto just looked at her and smiled, without saying anything either.
She looked at the people sitting at the table and saw that everyone had a meaningful smile on their faces, she instantly understood the meaning of Neto’s words, blushed, looked at Neto and turned her head.
Neto saw the look on Lucila’s face and even his frustration at Severo taking the black card from him lifted, and he returned to his seat with a smile on his face.
Alonzo didn’t know what everyone was laughing at, but he waved the black card in his hand, held it out curiously to Lucila, and said vaguely, “Auntie”.
He only found the hard card in his hand amusing and wanted to give it to Lucila when he got tired of playing with it.
Lucila put the card back in her pocket: “It’s a present from your uncle, keep it safe”.
Alonzo still didn’t quite understand what the word “gift” meant, but he had a sharp mind and when he saw Lucila’s seriousness, his eyes widened and he covered his pockets with a cautious look on his little face.
The group teased Alonzo for a while and then began to eat.
After lunch, they had a private room upstairs to play.
Halfway through the meal, Severo and Xabat left.
The two exited the box and walked in double file for some distance before Severo stopped, “Did you find out the IP address of the person who sent Victorino the K1LU73 virus formula?”
“I’ve got it, the address is foreign”. Xabat and Severo spoke in a careful tone.
Severo asked again: “Have you still not found out the details of the address that sent the email to Allyce before?
“There’s no way to find out.” Xabat wiped the cold sweat from his brow, he suddenly missed having a boss with the K1LU73 virus in his body a little …
“Mr. Betances?”
A soft male voice came from not far behind them, and Severus and Xabat turned in unison just in time to see Gabrio standing three paces away from them, his posture polite and gentlemanly.
