Izar was not amused.
“Why do all men only see Allyce, what’s so good about her?”
“You don’t deserve to know!”
Gabrio blurted out these words coldly and left without giving Izar another chance to pursue him.
Izar stood still, his eyes wide open, his teeth clenched, his face a little sombre, his whole being in a state of frenzy.
Allyce, Allyce!
One day he’ll make Allyce’s life a living hell! On his knees begging him!
It was only recently that he learned that Gabrio was also in the organisation.
After hearing the news again, he felt nothing but shock and pain.
Allyce and Gabrio are so close that it must be difficult for her to know that Gabrio is really in the mafia.
Moreover, she was confident that with her beauty she would be able to bring the disillusioned Gabrio into the fold.
Then, instead of pulling Gabrio along, he felt a deep sense of frustration on Gabrio’s part.
He tried everything, even the beauty trick, and Gabrio didn’t even look at him.
Despite this, he was unable to do anything to Gabrio.
Gabrio was highly regarded in the organisation and had great medical talent, and it is unlikely that Gabrio would have received any serious disciplinary action if he had actually killed her in a fit of rage.
He therefore had to leave Gabrio alone for the time being.
…
Severo left the room and headed straight for the study.
Once inside, he picked up the phone and dialled Dita.
“Where did you go this afternoon?”
Dita thought for a moment before replying that Severo was asking where she and Allyce had gone that afternoon.
“We just went out and waited for her for a while this afternoon.” Dita, of course, said nothing about the fact that Allyce had gone to see someone.
All of Allyce’s humour dulled after seeing the man back, she wouldn’t dare say, Severo is so smart, let her guess.
Severo’s voice was slightly deep: “No?”
Dita’s tone was languid: “I’m just your subordinate, I know nothing about your relationship with your wife, as a subordinate”.
Severo knew deep down that Dita was prejudiced against him.
Just as he hung up the phone, a maid brought tea.
Severo thought it was Allyce and looked up, only to discover that it was only the maid.
…
It was time for dinner before Allyce left her room.
She and Severo sat across from each other in the dining room to eat, neither of them speaking.
Only after the two of them had eaten and gone upstairs together, Severo asked him with disdain: “Did you go shopping today, what did you buy?
“I didn’t meet anyone I liked.” Allyce said slowly as she walked a little ahead of him.
Severo suddenly stopped in his tracks.
And Allyce kept walking ahead, not noticing that Severo had stopped.
This made Severo’s face sink a few more notches.
It was very dull today.
Dita is obviously helping Allyce, she is not telling the truth.
And the Allyce he saw on his return also had a soul.
Earlier, she had also spoken to him about the Grizzi check.
“Have you met Grizzi’s people today?” Severo reached out and grabbed her arm.
Grizzi’s people?
Gabrio is indeed Grizzi’s man.
Allyce raised her eyes to his, her face calm: “Yes”.
“Grizzi’s involvement is so wide and so deep that you couldn’t find out anything even if you wanted to.” Severo’s face was grave, and he spoke solemnly of the seriousness of the matter.
Allyce looked at him seriously, smiled abruptly and took Severo’s hand in hers: “If I had disobeyed you before, you would have been angry long ago and you would not have reasoned with me like this.
Severo’s body stiffened imperceptibly.
“You mean the old me was unreasonable?”
“Something like that. …”
Naturally, the two changed the subject without mentioning anything else to do with Grizzi.
…
Allyce has been in contact with Betsalem since it took over the partnership with the Betsalem family of companies.
That day, just after arriving at work, he received a text message from Betsalem.
“Guess which star our company, the new edition of the campaign, has got to endorse!”
This small talk tone slightly surprised Allyce, who picked up on celebrities and guessed several in quick succession, all of them rejected by Betsalem.
Allyce ran out of patience: “I have to go to work, let’s leave it at that and talk next time”.
Within a minute, a new text message arrived on her phone: “Guess again! An actress who has announced she is taking a break from acting”.
The urgency in his tone was as if he feared Allyce wouldn’t guess.
There is something about this woman, Betsalem, that is really interesting.
Allyce re-reads the text message and reflects on the actress who had already announced her retirement two years ago ….
Suddenly he thought of Izar and his face changed abruptly as he timidly dialled Izar’s name.
Earlier, he agreed to follow Tagus to J on the condition that Tagus would keep Severo’s affair secret, and at that time, it was Izar whom Tagus used as a cover to keep Severo’s affair secret.
Yesterday he found out again, from an email Gabrio had sent him, that Izar was in fact one of Grizzi’s people.
It can’t be that casual, can it? …
This time, his text message was sent and Betsalem did not respond immediately.
Allyce waited for a while with the phone in her hand, slowly calming down, probably because she was thinking too much.
But it didn’t take long for Betsalem’s call to come.
“Mrs. Betances, you’re unbelievable, you’ve guessed it all at once”. Betsalem’s tone sounded excited.
Allyce frowned, she hadn’t guessed right away, but had been wrong about several people and it had led her to guess, obviously, Izar.
“Why would they hire her, she’s making a comeback?” Allyce didn’t move and began to fixate on Betsalem’s words.
“Yes, she’s been out of action for two years, but people haven’t completely forgotten about her, and there’s a great trick to having her as a brand spokesperson for the new edition of our company.”
B etsalem’s emotions were running high and Allyce asked: “Are you a fan of hers?
“Not really, I just think Izar is a very nice woman”. Betsalem had tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, but it was still hard to hide the emotion in him.
Allyce just laughed and said goodbye to her.
It is true that people are easily confused by appearances.
Is Izar a very nice woman?
This nice woman who once separated her from her son, tried to take her husband away from her and tried to have her killed …
It was at that moment that she heard Severo call out to her.
“Allyce.
