“Grizzi’s people are not simple, Adan is one of their main popular leaders, he has contacted us and knows all of us, he must have guessed that we already know Izar’s identity, so with this move, they are blatantly provoking us and letting us know that they are bound to get it. ”
Allyce had not thought of this before, only that, in the current tense situation, neither side could act rashly and whoever moved first would lose out, so Izar was deliberately pushed out.
She was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she didn’t notice that Severo’s eyes had become much darker.
He realised that, since he had returned from Dita and the girls that day, Allyce had really put it into practice when he had said something about checking on Grizzi.
Until then, she had not acted directly on these issues, although she did care about them, because she trusted him and believed he would take care of them.
And now I no longer trusted him?
Allyce turned her head before realising that Severo was in a bad mood.
Did he just say something that made you angry again?
Or is … Severo having another attack?
His heart fluttered as he thought: “What’s wrong with you?
“All right, go home.” Severo let go of her hand and turned his head to look out the car window.
Allyce could only see the beautiful contours of his face, but she couldn’t see what he was thinking.
…
On arriving home, Severo went into the study and closed the door tightly.
Allyce goes to the kitchen to cook.
A little later, when he came out from cooking dinner, he saw Xabat appear in the living room.
“Madam.” Xabat offered a voice of greeting as soon as he saw her.
“Severo called you?” Allyce smiled at him, “You haven’t eaten yet either, I was just about to go up and get him, if you have something to talk about, let’s wait until you eat too.”
Xabat was about to say more when Allyce came up the stairs.
He opened the door and entered, finding the room unlit, with only a little light in the direction of the desk, a fluorescent glow from the computer screen that was on.
After adjusting to the darkness of the room, Allyce saw Severo sitting intently at his computer, she didn’t make much noise when she opened the door, or perhaps because Severo was looking too much, he didn’t notice her when she stood in the doorway.
He had to reach out and turn on the light.
It was then that Severo looked up in the direction of the door, as if he had suddenly regained his attention.
Seeing Allyce standing in the doorway, his face became instantly unpleasant: “Why didn’t you knock?
Allyce hesitated a little, was he blaming her for not knocking?
She had always known that Severo didn’t like people coming in without knocking, but she was different, and Severo had once told her that there was no need to knock.
Is she still angry about going to see Izar?
Well, he’s already mean and has a heart smaller than the eye of a needle!
Besides, he would be angry because he cared about her.
Allyce bowed her head, “I’ve come to call you for dinner”.
With that, she turned to leave, and seeing Xabat standing behind her, she turned her head to look at him again, “Oh, Xabat is here too, what do you have to do, let’s talk about it after dinner”.
Xabat also spoke and called him “Boss”.
“Go eat first.” Severo shot him a look and said this faintly.
Xabat sniffed and had to follow Allyce down.
Severo watched the two men leave and only then did he turn off his computer.
He closes all windows and moves the mouse to the “off” button. He looks a bit wary and enters the password of his computer before shutting it down.
Around here, Allyce and Xabat came down and asked him out of the blue: “Why did Severo call you in the middle of the night, and what can’t we talk about tomorrow?
“I’m not really sure, a lot has happened lately, it must be important. Xabat walked behind her, his head slightly bowed, his tone respectful.
Allyce didn’t think much of it, she just thought Severo was working too hard.
Managing the business on a daily basis and juggling all the other things …
Thought, also move the mean, angry …
…
After dinner, Severo went to the studio with Xabat.
Allyce was bored for a while watching television in the living room before cutting up a plate of fruit to serve Severo and the others.
As a result, he arrived at the studio door to find it unlocked from the inside.
I was slightly surprised.
Severo’s study is one that servants normally dare not go near.
As a servant had previously approached his study and was expelled by him, since then no servant has dared to approach him easily without his permission.
So they had closed the door behind them, not against others, but against her?
Allyce was feeling a bit ridiculous about this idea, because of Grizzi’s analysis of his purpose today, so she was thinking nonsense, I guess.
He reached out and knocked on the door, and Xabat’s voice soon came from inside: “Who?
Allyce replied: “It’s me”.
There was silence inside for a few seconds before the sound of the door opening.
Xabat’s apologetic voice: “Sorry madam, I closed the door behind me out of habit …”.
“It’s okay.” She knew she was overthinking it, how Severo and Xabat could defend themselves against her.
He came in with a tray on his back: “I’ve cut some fruit for you, so you can eat first”.
Having said that, he did not interrupt his talk any further and went straight out.
He went downstairs, told the maid to collect the fruit tray later, poured himself another glass of water and went upstairs.
Not knowing how long Severo and Xabat were going to talk, he went to his room to shower and get ready for bed.
In the corridor, he saw Xabat.
“Have you finished talking?” asked Allyce.
Xabat replied: “No, I’m going to the toilet”.
Allyce nodded and went straight away.
Xabat stared at Allyce’s back for a few seconds before continuing on his way.
When he re-entered the studio, he saw Severo smoking.
After thinking about it, he couldn’t resist remembering: “Boss, you’re in no condition to smoke”.
His reminder was not well received by Severo.
Severo didn’t put it out immediately, he took a few more deep puffs and held the cigarette between his fingers, his eyes looking up with smoke, his eyes so dark it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Halfway through, he spoke: “Use the plan I have drawn up to move all my assets into the country as soon as possible, the sooner the better”.
“Boss, that would cost a lot. Xabat knew he wouldn’t listen, but he couldn’t resist reminding Severo.
Severo took the cigarette out of his hand and stood up: “I’ve done all these calculations”.
Xabat looked at him, so close, but it was impossible to tell from Severo’s expression what he was thinking.
