Allyce shuddered slightly.
Not being used to getting so close to someone she didn’t know particularly well, she lifted the corners of her lips and smiled, pulling back a little quietly and looking serious as she said, “Like this? I really didn’t know.
Eka watched Allyce for a few seconds, as if to determine whether she was telling the truth or not, and then turned away to continue drinking her tea.
Allyce didn’t quite understand what Eka was referring to, luckily Severo had already finished answering the phone and came over.
“Tell me, how can I be thanked? Eka lifted her chin and pointed at Severo with a slightly scrambled look.
Severus reached out and wrapped his arms around Allyce, leaning into her, his whole body looking uncharacteristically lazy and his tone lazy. “What’s there to be thankful for, it’s not like you’re helping for nothing.”
Eka snorted coldly, “Severo, do you really think I can’t do anything to you?”
“You talk as if you dare to do anything to me.” Severo laughed scornfully, his tone arrogant.
A hint of anger finally appeared on Eka’s face and she looked at Allyce, pointing at Severo and said, “Can you still live with him with that temper?”
Allyce felt helpless, these two had gone crazy and now they were going after her, she was the innocent one, okay?
He hurried to pour Eka a fresh cup of tea and said with a smile: “Have some tea.
But she felt vaguely uncomfortable, Eka had said before that she was bisexual and then said something like that, Eka couldn’t be interested in her, could she?
The idea made Allyce feel sick inside, she didn’t discriminate against bisexuals but she herself was not bisexual …
Eka and Severo talked a bit more about business, from the presidential elections to Grizzi, and although she didn’t quite understand, she could tell that the two were working together now.
Only, before leaving, Eka gave him a meaningful look.
Allyce felt uncomfortable at this look.
When she left, Allyce asked Severo, “Does Eka have a boyfriend?” after showering with her mind full.
Severo looked at her with a bit of surprise in his eyes, as if he hadn’t expected her to ask that question, but he said sincerely, “No.” He said, “No, I don’t think so.
Allyce asked again: “And does he have a girlfriend?
This time Severus stopped talking and reached out to touch Allyce’s forehead, his frown loosening slightly. “She’s not sick.”
Allyce snapped her hand away: “You’re the one who’s sick.
“Why do you ask, what did Eka tell you?” Severo didn’t get angry, he grabbed her hand and pulled her into his arms.
“Eka said she was bisexual …” Allyce hesitated for a moment before stammering out the words.
Out of Allyce’s sight, Severo’s eyes flickered slightly and he spoke softly, “I was talking about teasing you, I’ve never seen her have a girlfriend in all the time I’ve known her.”
He paused for the last three words before saying them.
Allyce was relieved to hear Severo’s words.
…
The next morning.
Severo came out of the bathroom, refreshed, and walked over to the bed and picked Allyce up. “Wake up.”
Allyce asked in a daze: “What time is it? …”.
She sat, her long hair hanging over her shoulders, the neckline of her silk nightdress slipping a little from the night’s sleep, looking more than a little confused and lovely.
Severo couldn’t resist putting his arms around her and kissing her several times before saying: “Let’s go to the office today, you’re bored at home anyway, why don’t you go to work?
Allyce stared at him for a while before replying slowly: “Oh.
He remembered that Severo had mentioned it to him last night, only he hadn’t told him that he was going to the office today.
“Are you going to work in the office today?” Allyce felt a bit rushed, she hadn’t had time to prepare anything.
“Well, get up and let’s go to the office together, I’ll see you downstairs. Severo said, and got up and left.
An hour later, the two finished breakfast and left together.
“Boss, ma’am.
Hearing a familiar voice, Allyce looked up sharply and saw Xabat.
He was standing in front of the car watching with a smile on his face.
Allyce was slightly surprised and then broke into a smile: “Xabat, it’s been a long time.
She had been in J for a long time, surrounded by unfamiliar faces, and was happy to see Xabat.
In reality, Xabat had come to J with Severo, but he had been sent to do something else and so had not turned up.
Xabat smiled back before opening the car door and letting them in.
…
Allyce had not been to LK Group headquarters before.
He looked at the most striking building standing in the busiest part of J’s capital and felt an indefinable sense of pride.
This was the LK Group, Severo had spent half his life here, this was his territory, he was the uncrowned king of the financial world.
Standing beside her, Severo saw Allyce cocking her head and squinting, wondering what she was thinking, reached out and rubbed the top of her hair and said, “Haven’t you seen the building? There’s plenty of time to see it later, but I’d advise you to go in now.
“What?” Allyce turned in confusion and saw that many people, mostly LK Group employees, had gathered around her at some point.
Before Allyce could catch her breath, she was dragged by Severo into the LK Group.
“Welcome President!”
As soon as Allyce and Severo entered, their ears pricked up as they heard the greetings in unison.
Allyce looked around and found the foyer already full of people welcoming them.
Allyce turned her head to look at Severo, she hadn’t told him there were so many other people.
Severo was also frowning slightly, as if he didn’t know.
It was at that moment that a tall beauty in uniform approached from the crowd, a real beauty.
Long legs, slim waist, sizeable bust, pretty lips and navy blue eyes, pretty enough to be a little familiar.
Allyce was a little confused, had she seen this woman anywhere before?
“Welcome, President.” The tall beauty approached Severo with a slight nod before looking at Allyce, “Welcome ma’am.”
Allyce replied, although she did not know the woman, “Thank you”.
Then she saw the beautiful, elegant woman immediately rush towards her, exclaiming, “Brother”.
Allyce turned to see the beauty and Xabat embracing.
So she was Xabat’s sister, no wonder she looked so familiar.
Severo, who was standing to one side, duly spoke: “Xabat’s sister, Dita Vasconcelos”.
