Xabat couldn’t help but think of the angry look on Severo’s face when he and Severo were outside the hotel and couldn’t help but feel nervous for Allyce in his mind.
Severo’s unpredictable temperament was something he could hardly have guaranteed if he and Dita had not been adopted by Severo as children and lived together for so many years.
People out there only know Severo for his good looks and his billion dollar fortune, I don’t think any woman would like him if she knew he had that temperament.
Allyce nodded and opened her mouth to ask Severo, but Xabat had already taken the initiative and said: “The boss said he wanted to get some fresh air, so I should be back in a while.
Allyce tugged at the corners of her lips and gave a faint smile, “Well, you should go home soon and get some rest.
Xabat didn’t want to say any more, so he nodded slightly and turned to go back to his room.
As she watched Xabat walk up the stairs, Allyce sat on the sofa in the lobby with her glass of water.
I didn’t want to go out for some fresh air, I didn’t want to come back, did I?
You don’t want to go home because you had a fight?
The smile on Allyce’s lips turned bitter.
It was inevitable that adults would fight with each other – did he have to stay out of the house every time they fought?
The first floor.
Dita, who had been waiting on the stairs since she heard the sound of the car’s engine, caught up with Xabat as soon as she saw him come up.
“Where’s the boss?”
Xabat frowned slightly and tugged Dita’s hand easily, “Why isn’t she still in bed?”
“Tell me, where has the boss been? Didn’t you all go to a social function together? How come you’re the only one who came back? Dita was anxious to see Xabat’s unfriendly face.
Xabat looked over the railing to the ground and sighed before saying, “The boss was going to come back, but then my wife called me and told me to keep an eye on him and tell him to drink less. …”
The thought of him standing in front of the restaurant for almost an hour before he could get a taxi made him sigh.
“Why the anger, shouldn’t the owner be happy, as a rule?” Dita’s pretty eyebrows furrowed and she shook her head once.
“Who knows?”
“You say the boss has this erratic character …”
“Arrange.
…
Allyce was still a little restless, and after hesitating in her room, she took out her mobile phone and dialled Severo.
In the process of dialling, she pursed her lips a little nervously, thinking that if Severo didn’t pick up the phone she would try to find out what it was like not to be at home.
The only thing that came out of the phone was a mechanical female voice: “I’m sorry, the number you have dialled cannot be reached at this time”.
Allyce froze, she hadn’t expected Severo’s phone to be unavailable.
She bit her lip, as if fighting with someone, and threw the phone down, pulled the covers over her head and crawled under them.
Severo was a real piece of work, with a heart smaller than a woman’s hair.
He didn’t care if he didn’t come back, he didn’t care if he couldn’t get through on the phone, he didn’t care.
She continued to hypnotise herself, falling asleep, only to wake up again shortly afterwards.
She spent the whole night waking and sleeping, feeling more tired after sleeping than after not sleeping.
He finally woke up again, this time from a nightmare.
Allyce sat up on her arms and leaned over the bed, reaching for her phone to check the time, which was only 1am.
It was not too late, but Severo had not yet returned.
Naturally, Severo was already known for staying out at night.
Probably because of the nightmare, Allyce felt anxious.
He took out his mobile phone to call Severo again, but still couldn’t get through.
The restlessness grew and Allyce, not caring that it was the middle of the night, hurriedly got dressed and ran to Xabat’s room.
When he reached Xabat’s door, he knocked loudly on it and shouted his name: “Xabat!
At that moment, a maid came up from the ground floor.
Probably because she had been woken up in the middle of the night, the maid’s voice was a little muffled: “Madam, Mr Xabat left half an hour ago”.
“Somehow, after hearing the maid’s words, Allyce’s heart felt as if it had found a way out, and her limbs rushed.
When the maid saw Allyce’s face turn white, she asked nervously, “Madam, are you all right?
“Yes.” Allyce waved her hand to indicate she was fine.
He turned around and headed for his room as he took out his phone to call Xabat.
Only before I could dial, Xabat’s call came in.
Allyce’s heart skipped a beat and she swallowed several times to calm herself before picking up the phone.
“Hello, Xabat?
“Madam, come to the hospital now, the boss …”
“What’s wrong with him?” When Allyce heard the word “hospital”, she felt a blackness before her eyes, and her whole body fell backwards uncontrollably.
Fortunately, the maid who saw that Allyce was not in a good mood did not leave and helped Allyce.
Xabat reassured her on the other end of the phone: “The boss’s injury is not serious, you’ll know when you come, I’ve already contacted the driver and told him to wait at the door.
After saying this as if he was uneasy, he gave instructions again: “Really, don’t rush, the boss’s injury is not serious.
“Okay, I know.” Even though Xabat explained it over and over again, Allyce still didn’t quite believe him.
People like Severo and Xabat always liked to make a big problem out of a small one, something they were good at.
Allyce went to her room to change and when she went to the door, she saw that the driver was already waiting in his car.
When the driver saw Allyce arrive, he hurried to open the door: “Ma’am, be careful.
The driver was a countryman and spoke pure English.
Allyce remembered that the family’s driver was from the countryside and spoke English with a local accent, so she couldn’t help but give the driver a quick glance.
The driver smiled at him.
The driver’s accent was not severe, probably because he had lived in the city for a long time, so the accent had also disappeared.
Allyce thought no more about it, her mind and eyes were on Severo, and she continued to urge the driver to go faster.
The driver didn’t say much, but he was going faster.
Finally, after half an hour, the car stopped and the driver’s voice was a little low: “Here we are”.
Allyce smiled and opened the door to get out of the car.
Only no, he had just put his feet on the ground when he felt a sudden jolt in his backside, his eyes turned black and his whole body went unconscious.
