Chapter 53: Mrs. Betances, Severo kicked me.
Allyce was speechless for two seconds and then let go of his hand.
I thought Lucila was right and I couldn’t argue with that.
Just as Allyce let go of his hand, Lucila jumped hard and radiated a murderous aura towards Neto.
Neto jumped up behind Severo and stuck his head out: “I don’t hit women. Don’t come any closer.
However, Lucila just gave a fake smile: “Very well, then. You don’t hit me back.
“Oh, woman, can you be reasonable?” Neto had never met a woman as violent and unreasonable as Lucila.
Fortunately, there were very few staff on this floor. Otherwise, he would have laughed at the sight of them.
Severo cocked his head to one side at Neto’s hand on his shoulder and made a grim face: “Get your hands off me!
Neto heard his words and immediately withdrew his hand. He had known Severo for many years. The man had many pet peeves, one of which was that he did not allow people to touch him.
Seeing Neto let go, Lucila became completely defiant.
Neto broke down the door: “Flat-chested girl, don’t chase me. I’ll buy you and Allyce lunch, okay?”
“Really?” Lucila paused for a moment.
Neto nodded vigorously: “Yes!
Just as he finished the word, he suddenly jumped up clutching his leg, his mouth hanging open.” Ouch!”
Severo gracefully withdrew the long leg that had just kicked Neto and said in a calm voice, “Call her Mrs. Betances”.
Then he jumped up at Allyce: “Mrs. Betances, Severo kicked me!
Allyce ignored him and turned towards the lift.
What a bunch of psychopaths!
But in the end, they went to the restaurant together, with Lucila holding Neto, who had been badly injured by Severo’s kick.
…
Finally they decided to eat at Kimdis, which was Lucila’s idea.
At first, Allyce wanted to remind him that Severo was the real boss of Kimdis.
However, as she entered Kimdis, she noticed Xabat approaching her and heard Severo whisper in Xabat’s ear: “Don’t give him a discount when Neto pays the bill. and calculate the dish at the original price after the discount.
Xabat nods with a strange expression. When he shifts his gaze to Allyce, his eyes light up and his lips curve into a brilliant smile. Mrs. Betances, you’re here.
Learning from what had happened that day, Xabat had finally learned that pleasing Mrs. Betances was really pleasing Mr. Betances.
“Mr. Xabat, you have a very short memory. Allyce was referring to the incident that day when she forced Xabat to call her “Miss Allyce”.
Xabat then put on a serious expression and nodded to Severo: “Boss, I have to go. I have some things to take care of.
“Good.” Severo replied quietly, with a slight smile in his tone. He seemed to be in a good mood.
After sitting down, Neto and Lucila argued with each other about their orders and almost got into a fight. Fortunately, Severo, the “walking sedative”, was here to keep the two from fighting.
After the meal, the four of them said goodbye.
After Severo and Neto left, Allyce and Lucila left the Kimdis.
Allyce felt a little strange. Although Lucila was careless and even a little rude on regular occasions, she knew what she could and could not do.
So he asked, “Why did you fight with Neto?”
“First of all he slandered me and called me flat-chested.” She said as she grabbed her breasts. Then she asked seriously: “I have an A-cup! . I have breasts!!!”
Wordlessly, Allyce pursed her lips and said: “Maybe you two were born to be enemies.
“What is your relationship with the president of L. K.? He’s rich and handsome. He will even get a big alimony for the divorce”.
Lucila pointed a finger at Allyce, reprimanding her. But as she finished those words, she finally realised that something was wrong with Allyce.
“I will find a suitable time to divorce him. As for alimony, I don’t need it”.
“Why?” Lucila wrinkled her nose, “If I were you, I’d sleep with him and pay nothing, or I’d divorce him and ask for a large sum of alimony.”
“I married him because I desperately needed a husband. When he lived with me he was attentive, very loving and seemed like a normal person. But I didn’t realise that he was the real owner of Kimdis, let alone the president of the L. K. Group. Why did he ask me for help?”
The smile disappeared from Lucila’s face: “Why?
“What do you think?” asked Allyce rhetorically.
Lucila thought for a moment: “I think maybe he has seen you before and has fallen in love with you.
“Well, then, I’ll assume he’s in love with me and that he likes me. But why didn’t he pursue me. In that case, why … “Why would he sleep with her and then come into her life?
Hearing his words, Lucila struggled to find a reason: “But I think he’s serious about you now.
“It is true. I am very grateful that his decision helped me get my share back. It was hard for me to get it, but it was easy for him and all he had to do was snap his fingers.
A self-deprecating smile came across Allyce’s face: “For people like him, using their power and money to help others is nothing, because those are the things they have the most. But it’s harder for them to treat someone with their heart. After my father went to prison, I lived a miserable life in the Delahoz House. I had to depend on myself and had no support from anyone. If I was trapped by his love, then I was doomed. What I do now is to stop the damage in time”.
As Lucila listened to his words, she became serious.
“He had no good intentions when he first approached me. I didn’t know who he was, or his age, or his birthday. I didn’t know anything about him… But he was very kind to me. Humans are selfish, aren’t they? I was greedy about taking care of him. But today, when I found out that he was the president of L. K., I finally stopped daydreaming and decided to give up.”
With those words, Allyce let out a long sigh. Lucila listened in silence, not knowing what she could say to comfort her. So she kept silent.
She had been Allyce’s classmate in high school and college. Although she didn’t go to the same university as Allyce, she knew that Allyce never changed.
She was pretty but she had a lot of self-respect. She is very alert and would never trust anyone easily.
Allyce calmed down, took Lucila’s hand and headed for the pavement: “Let’s go somewhere for coffee. I don’t want to go back to the office.
“Don’t you want to go back to the office?” asked Lucila.
“Not to go back to the office. Grandfather only asked me to win the cooperative and sign the contract. He doesn’t care if I go to work in the company or not”. As he spoke, he stopped a taxi.
The two had been killing time over coffee all afternoon. Afterwards, Allyce hailed a taxi and headed to the repair centre to retrieve her car.
He had taken his car here before for repairs and maintenance, but had not had time to retrieve it. Now that he had a job, it would be easier for him to drive to work.
He re-entered the community and saw a Bentley on the side of the road.
He lived in a middle-class neighbourhood where a few residents could afford a Bentley.
“Why are you here?”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Severo had a bag of meat and vegetables in his hand and looked as if he had just arrived.
“You’re not good in the kitchen. And it’s not healthy to eat take-out food very often.” Severo said in an extremely calm voice, as if their relationship was as good as ever and nothing had happened between them.
