At the mention of Neto, Severo stared for a moment before recalling the scene where he and Neto first met.
After all, it had been more than ten years, so it was only natural that I wouldn’t remember her for a while.
After a long moment, he shook his head, “No”.
“So how did you two meet?” asked Allyce, cocking her head with interest.
Severo said lightly: “The first time we met, he was a client of mine.
He finished and headed for the bathroom.
Allyce followed with an impatient question: “So?
But Severo was no longer paying attention to him.
Not caring that Allyce was following him, he entered the bathroom and slammed the door shut.
Allyce stopped dead in her tracks, rubbed her nose, looked at the door panel in front of her and was glad she had reacted quickly.
It would have crashed directly into the door.
Forget it, ask Neto later, when you are back in the country.
Severo entered the bathroom and did not immediately undress to take a shower, but turned towards the door and watched the figure outside walk out through the bathroom and the embossed glass door before heading inside.
The bathroom was large and he walked some distance inside before pulling out his phone and making a call: “It can be done now”.
…
The following day.
It was ten o’clock in the morning when Allyce woke up.
He had slept well the night before, probably because he was at peace with not living in Solares Castle.
Severo was already gone and she shuffled out of the room and opened the door.
She had not remembered the structure of the villa because she had been a bit sleepy when she arrived last night.
So much so that he wandered down the corridor for a while before finding the staircase.
Only when he came down the stairs did he realise that the hall was full of people.
There were some servants and the two brothers, Severo and Xabat, were also present.
If I remember correctly, it was a working day, why were none of these people going to work?
Dita looked up without thinking and saw Allyce, her lips curved into a smile as she shouted, “Ma’am”.
Severo turned his head in response.
When he saw Allyce coming down, he said something to Xabat and got up to approach Allyce.
He stood in front of Allyce with a kind look on his face: “Go and have breakfast first.
When he finished, he turned his head to the maids standing by: “Take the mistress to dinner.
But before Allyce could say anything, Dita, who was sitting to one side, suddenly stood up and offered: “I’ll go, I’ll go!
His voice was a little anxious and his voice was not too loud, attracting everyone’s attention at once.
Dita then blinked a little embarrassed, her blue eyes were beautiful.
He coughed dryly and said, “I’ll take the lady out for breakfast”.
“Hmm.” Severo thought to himself that it would be good to let Allyce and Dita get to know each other a little better.
At the moment I wasn’t sure how much longer I would be here.
Inevitably, there would be times when he would not be able to look after himself, and Dita was also a woman, so it would be good to go shopping together ….
The fact that Severo has such long-term thoughts is not known to Allyce.
He just smiled and said to Dita, “Thank you”.
It was clear that Dita, like Xabat, was very close to Severo and had a very good relationship with him.
But after a few days together, he realised that Dita was a bit more outgoing than Xabat, a bit like Lucila.
A pretty girl with an outgoing personality and a strong work ethic would unconsciously make people feel good.
“Madam, I will take you to breakfast and then show you around the house. Dita said and led her into the dining room.
When they reached the dining room, Dita brought out another portion of the breakfast she had left for herself.
The maids offered to come up and help, but she declined.
Allyce felt a little embarrassed to be up so late, but seeing how unconcerned Dita was, Allyce didn’t stir, thanked her and began to eat.
“Does it taste good? The owner has instructed the kitchen to make Chinese food from now on.” Dita sat across from her, resting her chin and looking down at her, her blue eyes shining brightly, her whole persona seeming a little childlike and naive, a far cry from her thunderous bearing when he first met her.
Allyce couldn’t help but ask aloud, “At the risk of asking, how old are you?”.
Dita didn’t mind Allyce asking her age, she thought hard for a moment before saying, “Twenty-six”.
Allyce nodded, twenty-six, two years older than her.
Severo was hard on his men, and it was not easy for Dita to survive under Severo’s thumb and become his right-hand man, and still maintain such a lively personality.
“Ma’am, I have something …”
Allyce interrupted her: “You can call me by my name”.
Accustomed to being called Xabat, she felt nothing, it was Dita who still felt a little uncomfortable calling her that.
“No, no, no, no, …, you are the lady”. Dita refused with a smirk.
Allyce saw this and did not press her: “What were you going to ask?
She hesitated for a moment, as if she had made up her mind, and finally found the courage to speak, “Did Victorino come back with you?”
“Doctor Greek?” said Allyce, noting the embarrassed expression on Dita’s face and thinking she had understood something remarkable in a trance.
He vaguely recalled Dita’s conversation with Xabat when he first met her.
Was any man’s message a reference to Victorino?
Seeing Dita’s shy look, she probably liked Victorino.
It is that …
Allyce can’t help but worry about Dita when she thinks about Victorino’s cleanliness and his appearance of wanting to spend the rest of his life with the lab.
“I’m not really sure about that because I came with my grandfather when I came here, whether Severo came later and brought Victorino, I don’t know”.
Allyce saw Dita’s face fall and added after a moment’s thought: “I can ask Severo for you.
Dita’s eyes lit up as soon as she heard that.
Allyce laughed and then ate her breakfast in silence.
Only, after finishing his breakfast, it was time to eat again.
He probably knew why Severo and the three of them had not come to the office today.
They were also concerned that Allyce had moved in suddenly last night and was unfamiliar with the place, so they had purposely stayed with her during the day.
Although she knew that Severo was always considerate of her in everything, she could not help but be moved again.
It was not until the afternoon that an unexpected visitor arrived in the village.
Allyce and Dita came out of the flower room in the backyard, both were talking as they entered the living room, when she heard Lorenzo’s voice.
