The secretary’s legs went weak with fear at Severo’s words.
It always seemed to him that the president was increasingly scary, as if he were a different person.
She had been his secretary for many years and used to think she could control her temper a little, but now she couldn’t control it at all.
He did not want to lose his job over the incident, so he had to tell the truth as it happened.
Severo made no sound for a long time after she finished.
The secretary did not even dare to breathe.
The office was so quiet you could hear a pin drop on the floor.
In the midst of this tense atmosphere, Severo spoke slowly, with an unspoken pressure in his calm tone: “When did you say the wife borrowed your phone to call?
“A week ago. The secretary added after a moment’s thought: “It was the first day he brought you food.
“Snap!”
His words had just fallen when the signature pen Severo was holding suddenly snapped.
This made the secretary, who had been watching him closely, swallow in horror and unconsciously touch her neck.
Boldly, he called out to him carefully: “President?
The next moment, Severo picked up the pile of papers in front of him and said in a stern voice: “Get out!
The voice and tone of voice were as if they hated to eat someone alive.
The secretary did not dare to run away, but knelt down and picked up the papers, which he quickly threw down before putting them on his desk and running away like a rabbit.
These documents are of the utmost importance and she would not dare not collect them, if the president were to pursue the matter further, he would be a dead man again.
Fortunately, this time it went off without a hitch.
After leaving the president’s office and closing the door behind her, she dared to take a deep breath.
On the other hand, Severo, in the office, was already under a cloud, as if he was going to explode at any moment.
At that moment his mobile phone rang.
He looked at it absently and realised that it was the landline number of Solares Castle.
It goes without saying who this call is from.
He looked at the phone with cold eyes, his hand on the desk clenched into a fist, and did not pick it up until it was silent.
Allyce was a little confused, would he be busy?
But he was usually busy, he kept answering their calls.
He would have been able to guess that she had called him, wouldn’t he?
But she couldn’t bring him dinner today, and if she didn’t call him in advance, he would be angry with her again.
He had to make another phone call.
This time, the phone was answered after a few rings.
He didn’t say anything even after answering the phone.
Knowing his nature, Allyce said with some grumbling, “Are you busy today? You didn’t even answer my call a moment ago.
“Well, when are you coming? Severo’s voice was a little hoarse, no emotion could be heard.
Allyce was a little sorry to hear him ask that question.
As she had to go to Tajo’s for dinner later in the day, she had to ask her driver to help her bring the prepared food to the office.
And now, hearing the expectant tone of Severo’s voice, she felt a little self-conscious.
To blame is to blame, but the words remain to be said.
“I can’t go, I’ll tell the chauffeur to bring it to you, grandfather wants me to go to dinner with him, I’ll bring it to you tomorrow.” There was a hint of shyness in Allyce’s tone.
That said, he made a point of sensing Severo’s change in mood.
The expected resentment and tantrums did not occur, he just said with a soft “hmm”, “I see”.
When he finished, he hung up the phone.
Allyce watched the call drop and froze before hanging up again.
Or are you angry?
Never mind, let’s wait for him to come back in the evening to cajole him.
Allyce didn’t think twice, changed her clothes and went to Tajo’s house.
“Allyce ah, eat more, Alonzo is almost three years old, right, you guys give Alonzo another sibling before it’s too late …”
Tajo served the food with great enthusiasm and chatted like a normal old man of the family.
Allyce naturally knew that what she was doing beneath the surface of this enthusiasm was not genuine concern and affection for a junior, she was just showing Severo a good time.
Allyce curved her lips and smiled, her face was meek, “Severo and I are still young, and as for children, we’re sure to have them again, it’s up to fate.”
“Well, that’s a good point. Tajo immediately flashed a look of approval.
Allyce joined him for lunch and only felt her face harden with laughter.
However, since arriving in J, there are many things to contend with.
Sometimes you feel a bit helpless, but then you have to pay for it.
Although everything is in Solares Castle, it is a ten minute walk from the restaurant to Allyce’s house.
Halfway there, the sky, which had been clear, suddenly became cloudy and it rained heavily.
The rain came suddenly and the drops were like little rocks, and Allyce was so scantily clad that the drops hit her like rocks, hurting her badly.
Allyce covered her head with one of them and her footsteps quickened as she trotted towards her room, shod to the bone.
When she closed the door, she found herself in the room with a man who was just like her, soaked to the bone.
“Severo?”
She was startled for a moment, but when she saw who was in the room, she approached reassuringly, “What are you doing back?”.
How did Severo come back so soon?
She should have reached the house too, this torrential rain had just started to fall and she had walked back from the middle of the road in a few minutes and was soaking wet.
Severo arrived home a little before her, LK was not too close to Solares, she had spoken to him on the phone just before going to Tajo’s house and must have hung up and gone straight back.
“Are you finished with the company?” Allyce came over, looked down at her soaked clothes and frowned, “Shower first.”
When he finished, he went to the bathroom to put the water on.
As he drained the water, he realised that Severo had not said a word since he had entered.
Was she still angry because she hadn’t brought him lunch herself?
I didn’t even know whether to call Severo irrational or childish.
But again, there was nothing to be done about it.
“Okay, get in the shower.” Allyce filled the water and headed for the door to call Severo.
He noticed that Severo was still standing where he had been before.
He finally realised that something was wrong with Severo.
“What’s wrong with you?” asked Allyce in a whisper as she approached him and reached out to take his hand.
His hands were cold, like a block of ice.
Allyce froze: “Why is it so cold, get in the shower”.
She pulled him towards the bathroom, but found him still standing.
His patience was exhausted and his face grew impatient as he tried to remove his hand.
