Victorino looked down and, after a long silence, said: “That’s enough.
She did not even think that the little girl who had suffered so much could become such a beautiful and dazzling woman.
The bumps in the road that fate has thrown at him have been trodden over and have become stepping stones for his ascent.
Allyce opened her lips slightly to speak, then stopped violently.
Who said that Victorino is strict and stereotypical and does not understand the human condition?
It is too vague to understand.
It turns out that he knows all about Dita’s mind.
And from the tone of her voice, Allyce could hear that she didn’t hate Dita.
The fact that the woman who could make Victorino not dislike her could say this in such a gratifying tone is proof that Dita was special to him.
At this point, Allyce does not know what else to say.
“I’m going to go back first, because I have a lot of things to do to prepare for the trip”.
Victorino stands up, his face expressionless, and nods slightly to Allyce, his movements as fluid and natural as when he first met him, but not condescending.
Allyce stood up and watched Victorino’s figure disappear into the coffee doorway before looking away.
The mind is thinking of something else… Victorino said Severo’s situation was not so bad?
Although I had a vague feeling that there was something wrong with Victorino’s words, his way of speaking and acting was no different from usual.
In theory, Allyce believed him.
…
Severo was not in the office when he returned to the LK Group.
He hurried to the door of the secretary’s office to check that she was in the room.
“The salon? To see who?” As she remembered, she had no visiting appointments today.
Everyone in the secretariat knows who he is, and no one dares not to tell the truth.
Only, when the man spoke, there was more or less an element of caution in his tone: “It’s Miss Betsalem”.
Betsalem …
He would have forgotten this woman if no one had mentioned her name.
A hint of distaste appeared on Allyce’s face, the woman’s thoughts of Severo were so obvious that she would be doomed to leave Severo and Betsalem alone.
It was only when he thought of this that he remembered to ask one more question: “Is she the only one here?
“I brought an assistant. The man said again with a wink: “We were just about to give the coffee”.
Allyce sniffed and immediately nodded, “I’ll send him over, you guys get to work if you have something to do”.
“Yes, the coffee is ready.
By the end of the sentence, another secretary had already brought out the coffee.
Allyce took it and headed for the living room.
Walking to the door, he reached out his hand and prepared to knock.
With a twist of the mind, something occurred to him, so he pushed the door directly without knocking.
As soon as the door opened, he saw the two people sitting opposite each other.
His arrival seems to have surprised Betsalem.
Severo just gave him a slight sweep and looked away.
Allyce wasn’t sure what the two of them had talked about before they came in; in any case, Betsalem was looking at her a little strangely.
“Miss Betsalem, please have a cup of coffee. Allyce took out the two coffee cups and placed them in front of her and Severo respectively.
“Mrs Betances, it’s been a long time and you’re still glowing. Betsalem picked up his coffee and took a sip, adding: “Good coffee, thank you.
“This is everything my lord uses to entertain his esteemed guests, and of course it all has to be ground from the finest coffee beans. Allyce replied with a smile as she took a seat next to Severo.
As soon as she sat down, Severo stretched out his arms and rested them on the back of the sofa behind her, his whole body stretched out.
“I just passed by and saw you in the car talking to a man in the cafeteria and I didn’t go over to say hello for fear of disturbing you”. Betsalem was still smiling.
Allyce’s face was slightly tense, Betsalem had seen her and Victorino talking in the coffee…
He unconsciously turned his head to look at Severo.
He was talking things over with Victorino, face to face, and yet he didn’t know if Severo would get angry.
The hands resting in her lap tensed involuntarily, and she wasn’t sure if Severo would be angry on the spot.
There was a pause before Allyce broke into a smile, “What a coincidence, I was just asking the doctor for some information and didn’t expect to meet Miss Betsalem. ”
“Fair enough.” Betsalem pursed his lips and smiled, looking at Severus without thinking, only to find that Severus was looking sideways at Allyce.
Because of his height, Severo had to lower his eyelids when he sat next to Allyce to look at her, so Betsalem had no way of guessing the look in her eyes, but he could feel her concentration.
“You seem to like talking to my wife, let’s leave this matter to my wife next, she is now my personal secretary, you can communicate with her if you need to, I have things to do, you guys talk.”
Severo spoke suddenly, causing the other two women to look down at him.
He simply reached out and patted Allyce on the shoulder with a matter-of-fact expression.
Allyce and Betsalem were dumbfounded.
Betsalem’s hand on his knee squeezed tightly, but he had to keep a smile on his face.
Do you like talking to Allyce?
Heh, she and Severo had been together for more than ten minutes and no more than ten words had come out of Severo’s mouth.
In her heart she was furious, but on her lips she spoke with surprise: “I didn’t expect Mrs. Betances to come to work for the company, I thought she would rather be a full-time wife.
Severo glanced at him and the Lord came straight out.
Allyce breathed a mental sigh of relief before looking back at Betsalem.
She looked at Betsalem with a smirk on her face: “It’s just that my Lord doesn’t want me to be too tired, I like to work myself.
Betsalem mocks her for living dependent on Severo and only knowing how to be a full-time wife who can do nothing.
There are often people in this world who know nothing, but who can put themselves on a pedestal and look down on others.
Betsalem, naturally, sensed the sting of Allyce’s words, but his face was calm: “You and Mr. Betances have a great relationship.
When necessary, he doesn’t mind saying a couple of words against his will to round things off.
She did not want to offend any of the Severos, and her father would not let her off the hook if it affected her association with the LK Group.
Although his father and Severo had worked together for many years, he remained suspicious of Severo.
In any case, business and personal matters should be kept separate, she is not one of those fools who let herself be led astray by a man’s gaze.
She wants business, she wants men, and since Severo won’t even look at her, let’s show her what she can do.
Allyce’s face was relaxed, but her heart was instantly on alert, this Betsalem was a tough nut to crack.
