Gabrio was already there when Allyce arrived at the place she and Gabrio had agreed upon.
“Have you been waiting long?” Allyce approached, with a hint of apology in her smile.
She had been stuck in traffic for a while on her way here and it was well past the time they had agreed on.
Gabrio’s eyes smiled as he looked at her, even the smile in his voice: “No, I’ve just arrived too”.
Allyce’s gaze fell on her coffee cup, which was already empty, and she could see that she had been here a long time.
He looked away and took a seat opposite Gabrio: “What brings you to J on the spur of the moment?
“There was a temporary seminar around here, so I came,” Gabrio said as he motioned to the waiter.
He pushed the menu in front of Allyce and said, “Well, order first.”
Allyce sniffed and didn’t bother to be polite to him, taking the menu and ordering.
“How are you doing in J?” asked Gabrio as soon as he finished ordering.
He had wanted to ask “How are you doing in J?”, but the words came out as “you”.
“We’re fine, how are you doing? Allyce paused before asking Gabrio with a smile.
“Same old, same old”.
At this point, they both stopped as if they could find nothing more to say.
There was a lot of chatting until the meal was served.
…
LK Group.
Severo had just left a meeting when his secretary came up to him and asked: “President, where are you going to eat?
“Go and eat.
Severo said this without raising his head and took out his mobile phone to call Allyce.
There was no response even after several calls in a row.
Severo coldly changed the number and called the villa number.
“Sir”.
The person who answered the phone was the maid.
Severo spoke directly and asked, “Where is Allyce?”
“The lady is out.
“Where did he go?”
“To this …”
The maids sounded a little embarrassed, how could they possibly know where Allyce had gone, they were just maids and didn’t have that much power over where Allyce went.
Without waiting for them to say anything, Severo simply hung up the phone.
Xabat approached just at that moment.
“Chief …”
He had just opened his mouth when Severo ignored him and walked past him.
Xabat looked in the direction of Severo’s exit with a confused look.
Severo returned to his office and called Allyce a couple more times, but she still didn’t answer.
His already bad face became even uglier.
He pulled out his phone and called his men: “Go and find out where Allyce has gone”.
Just as he hung up the phone, the secretary who had left earlier came back in.
“President”. The secretary was holding a kraft ribbon.
“Severo frowned a little, hadn’t he been told to go to dinner, what was he doing here again?
The secretary froze at Severo’s cold stare, and hurried to hand him the kraft paper tape in her hand.
Probably because she was afraid, the secretary spoke quickly: “They just sent this to reception, saying it was for the president.
“What is it?” Severo looked at it slightly and did not take it immediately.
“I don’t know, the person left a message saying that I should see what’s inside and find out”. Although they could not be sure exactly what was in it, the man had said it with conviction, so they dared not tamper with it without permission.
Severo narrowed his eyes slightly and gave the secretary a cold look before reaching out and taking the kraft paper belt from her hand.
He opened the kraft paper bag and reached out to take out the contents.
The secretary looked at him carefully, saw the sudden change in Severo’s face, cringed and took two steps back.
Severo’s eyes stared at the two people in the photo, the veins on his forehead rippled and his dark eyes were so thick it was as if the ink was about to drip, which was unusually frightening.
The secretary didn’t even dare to flinch.
He turned his head without thinking and saw Xabat approaching from behind.
Xabat, who also knew the secretary, asked her with a look: “What’s wrong?
The secretary didn’t dare say anything, just rolled her eyes and reminded him to look at the photo in Severo’s hand.
Xabat’s face showed some confusion as he cautiously approached and stood behind Severo to look at the photograph in his hand.
When he saw the person in the photo, his face was surprised.
There were two people sitting across from each other, looking like they were having a good time, and it was Allyce and Gabrio!
Before he could think of anything to say, Severo had already balled up the photo in his hand and was walking out into the street with an expression of contempt.
Xabat saw that he did not look well and followed him steadily.
As soon as Severo left the office, he went straight to his car. He got into the car and drove off, ignoring Xabat, who was following him.
Xabat, who had been with him for so many years, saw that he did not look well and was worried that something was wrong, so he followed him closely and drove after him.
Severo had been here for many years and knew the place, the background of the photo, he immediately recognised which restaurant it was.
…
Allyce and Gabrio were saying goodbye in front of the restaurant after dinner when a car suddenly stopped in front of her.
Before I could react, a man got out of the car.
Allyce saw that it was Severo.
Before she had time to call out to him, Severo had already rushed over to her, opened the back seat door with one hand, pulled Allyce in and pulled her in.
“Ah …” Allyce was completely caught off guard and let out a gasp of surprise at his action.
Severo had a sombre look on his face and didn’t care about Allyce’s reaction.
“He closed the door with a loud bang and turned his head to look at Gabrio.
Allyce, though she hadn’t reacted to what was happening, knew that nothing good was going to come of having Severo and Gabrio together.
So he tried to open the car door and get out.
He pulled the door twice, only to find that it had been locked by Severo.
Allyce’s face turned pale and she banged on the window, shouting his name: “Severo!
Although the car was well insulated, Severo could definitely hear her screaming so loudly.
But Severo reacted as if he hadn’t heard her, ignoring her completely.
He approached Gabrio directly, and because his voice was not loud, Allyce did not know what he was saying to Gabrio.
Her back was turned to Allyce and Allyce couldn’t even see her expression and could only be anxious in the car.
But luckily the two did not make a move. Severo only said a few words to Gabrio before turning and walking in the direction of the car, while Gabrio looked a little alarmed.
