As it was a weekday, there were only a few people in the tea room.
Although they were all from the same Solares family, there was a difference in respect and consideration due to their status.
“Señorito Lorenzo, Miss Delahoz”.
A servant greeted them politely.
Allyce walked to the front of the flat without a glance, her expressionless face looking very cold.
The voices of those still chatting and conversing could not help but lower their voices.
Allyce and Lorenzo stopped at a tea table and she nodded slightly to Lorenzo: “Have a seat. ”
Lorenzo still had a smile on his face, but it was an unkind smile.
“I thought you’d be busy, but it looks like you’re as free as I am.” Allyce smiled slightly, hiding the sarcasm in her voice well.
Lorenzo did not grasp the deeper meaning of Allyce’s words and said, lifting his chin slightly: “Severo is always like that, so preoccupied with his career, whether in the office or on his way to talk about a partnership, he must spend very little time with you…”.
Lorenzo was dressed formally, just as he was when Allyce met him.
He was not bad looking, and although he had only been a small-time gangster before being found by Tajo, after all the years in the Solares family, he had been nurtured a little in the general atmosphere of aristocratic preaching.
Had his eyes been more decent, he would have been a gentleman who would have triumphed with the ladies.
A servant came over to pour the tea and Allyce took a sip before speaking lightly: “You’re very worried about what’s going on between Severo and I.” She said, “You’re very worried about what’s going on between Severo and me.
“You can call me Lorenzo, that’s what Severo calls me too, there’s no need to be so polite.” said Lorenzo, and slowly reached out his own hand to touch Allyce’s.
A flash of disgust crossed Allyce’s eyes and she was about to withdraw her hand when her phone rang.
He hurried to hold it out and take it out, saying to a slightly pale Lorenzo: “Excuse me, I have to take it.
“Allyce, you haven’t even replied to my tweets, do you know that you and Chief Betances are making national headlines? The call was from Lucila.
Lucila had seen the headlines about Allyce and Severo when she woke up in the early hours of the morning, got curious and texted Allyce.
Allyce was anxious to find the right reason to leave Lorenzo, and this was a good opportunity to do so.
“Is that so? I’ll send you the information when I come back later, so that’s all for now”.
Allyce hung up the phone with a serious look on her face and turned to Lorenzo across the room, “I’m sorry, my friend at home asked me to send you a very urgent message, I have to get back now”.
His expressions were just right, and the apology on his face seemed unmistakably genuine.
But Lorenzo was smart enough to see that Allyce was looking for an excuse, but he couldn’t pick apart such things when they knew each other so well.
“Of course, your business is important.” Lorenzo said and stood up, stepping aside in a gentlemanly manner and gesturing for Allyce to go first.
Allyce did not hesitate and headed straight outside.
Lorenzo followed her, his long legs walking slowly, his eyes slightly narrowed, his gaze fixed on Allyce’s body.
His gaze made Allyce uncomfortable.
But it did nothing more, so Allyce pursed her lips and walked quickly to the front.
When they reached the staircase, they were greeted by a couple of servants who had come upstairs with their things.
Just then, Lorenzo reached out and wrapped his arm around Allyce’s waist. Allyce felt Lorenzo’s hand brush her waist slightly as he said, “Careful.
Allyce’s face darkened and her hands clenched tightly, but with a smile on her face.
He pushed Lorenzo gently, “Thank you”.
Lorenzo raised an eyebrow, “I said there’s no need to be so polite, you can just call me Lorenzo, I’m the same age as Severo, aren’t you calling me old like that?”
“Good point.” Allyce said to him as he headed for the stairs.
The few servants who passed by stayed respectfully.
Allyce walked alongside Lorenzo and glimpsed how he kept moving closer to her, his hand on the verge of touching her again.
She couldn’t help but feel a little strange inside.
Was it because of Lorenzo’s personality or because he had the favour of Tajo who dared to harass her with impunity in a communal setting?
Sensing that Allyce had been looking at him, Lorenzo turned his head to look at Allyce too, with flirtatious eyes, “You’re beautiful.
“Are you?” Allyce smiled.
She was already pretty, and smiling brightly at someone like that made her even more charming.
Lorenzo’s hands came back to rest on her waist and began to tend to slide downwards.
The smile on Allyce’s face was slightly chilly as she put one foot in front of Lorenzo’s.
Lorenzo was so focused on her that he didn’t even notice Allyce’s foot moving, so he tripped over it and fell down the stairs.
The stairs were carpeted and Lorenzo would have had no problem falling down them.
With a “thud”, Lorenzo rolled to the corner in the middle of the stairs before stopping.
Allyce laughed softly.
Taking advantage of her? Did he really think she was one of those shameless whores Lorenzo was messing around with?
Allyce’s face turned, then her eyes widened and she said, “Ah!
Then he ran down the stairs with a look of panic on his face.
The maids were dumbfounded, but when they saw Allyce running down the stairs, they reacted and ran to her.
“Allyce walked over to Lorenzo and just looked at him with a worried look on her face.
The panicked expression on his face didn’t look like he was faking it at all.
By now there were other people who had noticed the commotion here and were on their way here.
Seeing the time was right, Allyce reached out and slapped one of the maids in the face: “What are you doing? You have caused Young Master Lawrence to fall down the stairs, why don’t you go and call a doctor?
Yes, Allyce decided to blame the maid.
The maid he had reached out to strike turned out to be the one who had been standing next to Lorenzo earlier, and he had remembered the look of the maid standing next to him when she had stretched out her foot and tripped him.
The maid was completely stunned by Allyce’s slap and immediately lowered her head, trembling and not daring to say a word.
When Allyce saw what the maid looked like, she felt a little guilty, but there was no better way to teach Lorenzo a lesson.
