Chapter 55: Your wife is beautiful even when she is cutting vegetables.
Allyce stared at Lucila.
Lucila stuck her tongue out at him and stopped talking.
Neto walks away, takes some photos of Allyce cutting vegetables and sends them to Severo.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
He included a message under the photos: Severo, your wife is beautiful even when she is cutting vegetables.
…
Severo had a meeting in L. K..
He was sitting at the front of the line, holding a blueprint his subordinate had just handed him, and his mood turned sombre as he read the message.
The other senior executives attending the meeting became nervous at the sight of his more sombre expression and all held their breath.
Predictably, a minute later, Severo threw the plan in the middle of the meeting table and scolded in a cold tone: “This is the plan you have drawn up after a month of discussions and research?
The temperature in the meeting room suddenly dropped and no one dared to speak.
No one was clear about the temperament of their big boss and no one dared to provoke him.
“DING …”
Severo looked at his phone and saw a notification.
He picked it up without panicking and saw that it was a message from Neto.
He opened it to see a picture of Allyce, who was trimming her vegetables and sitting meekly on a stool.
The frown relaxed slightly. There were a few pictures and he had them all on his phone. Then he saw the quote attached at the bottom: “Severo, your wife is beautiful even when she’s cutting vegetables”.
Neto, how dare you take pictures of her and send them to me in a big way, you know she’s my wife? Don’t you know I can’t even enter her house?
Let’s wait and see if I come back to Cielo Azul to help you !!!!.
The subordinates present watched his facial expression closely. Seeing Severo, who a moment ago was not so scary, suddenly turn grim, they all prayed for themselves in their hearts.
Severo didn’t even look up from the phone: “I’ll give you another week. If a satisfactory plan is not presented, you can all go to hell”.
The subordinates responded with one voice: “Thank you, President.
He showed them mercy by giving them a chance.
They had heard that the big boss had returned to the country a few days ago, but he rarely showed up and only came to the office frequently in the last few days.
He was decisive and forceful, which unnerved the employees who had been slacking off.
“We are going to stop here. You can go now. Although Severo is talking to his subordinates, his eyes fall on Allyce’s photo.
He was not aloof, but gentle as he trimmed the vegetables.
She reached out her slender fingers and gently rubbed her cheek over the photograph. The gentleness peered into her deep-set eyes.
He hadn’t slept well for days. He didn’t have this problem when he was alone abroad. Why couldn’t he sleep well without her by his side?
It seemed that even a small thing, as long as it had to do with Allyce, could easily anger him. He had changed so much.
Xabat was right. Maybe he should have had a general medical examination, maybe there was something wrong with his health that made him lose sleep.
Just when he was lost, he received a call from Xabat.
“Boss, I’ve made an appointment for you and your secretary said I could arrange a time at noon”.
He implied that Severo wanted to use the “hour” for a health check.
Severo frowned and refused without hesitation: “I have to take care of something as soon as possible. Make another appointment.
As he finished the sentence, he froze a little. He didn’t seem to have a schedule for this noon…
I just wanted to visit Allyce…
He let Neto into his house. So why couldn’t he?
…
Neto sits leisurely on the sofa, absorbed in watching the game on TV.
Allyce put Lucila’s chopped vegetables on a plate and placed them one by one on the table. Then she realised that there was too much meat on one plate, so she tried to take out another plate to put it away.
Just as Allyce entered the kitchen, Neto received a phone call.
He looked in the direction of the kitchen before answering the phone: “What is it?
“Open the door.
Those were the three simple words that came out of the other end of the phone. Then they hung up the phone. Ha, that was Severo’s style of behaviour. He was always direct and spoke less to those who were not relevant.
Phew! I had known Severo for more than ten years, how had he become irrelevant?
Neto thought he also had to go to the hospital for a full check-up.
He looked in the direction of the kitchen. The kitchen was ajar. Lucila and Allyce were standing side by side, obviously talking about something, and they happened to have their backs to him. So he tiptoed to the door.
When he opened the door, he asked, “Aren’t you going for your medical check-up today at lunchtime? Why are you here?”
Severo looked at him and said nothing.
Neto unconsciously kept his mouth shut and began to speculate about what was going on between Severo and Allyce.
Severo smelled the fondue as soon as he entered the house.
He had been living here for almost two months and knew the layout of the room very well.
He went inside and looked around for Allyce.
Neto approached him and whispered: “In the kitchen”.
He looked towards the kitchen and heard laughter: two girls were talking about something and laughing.
He looked into the kitchen and heard only a series of crackling giggles. He had no idea what the two girls were talking about, they were both laughing.
Lucila coughed loudly and whispered: “I unconsciously associate chopsticks with that arrogant Neto …”.
Allyce punched him lightly: “If Neto heard that, he’d punch you.
“I’m not afraid of him. He’s white and skinny; he’s very weak.” Lucila curved her lip as she stirred the pot with a spoon.
Allyce then remembered that she had gone to the kitchen to get the dishes, so she turned and opened the cupboard. But she could barely stand on her tiptoes ….
Suddenly, a strong arm reached around her waist to steady her, and another hand reached over her head to pull out a plate.
Allyce’s heart fluttered violently. She turned her head sharply to see Severo’s deep-set eyes and beautiful eyebrows.
“Why don’t you get help? Stubborn girl.” Severo scolded her in a low voice and turned on the tap to wash the dishes.
Allyce is stunned: “Why are you here?
He asks “Why are you here?”, not “How did you get into my house?”.
Severo, who was washing the dishes, paused slightly and his lips curved into a slight smile.
“Good …”
Lucila plucked up her courage and interrupted: “Mr. Betances, give me the plates and I’ll take care of them.
As he spoke, he reached out and took Severo’s plate before handing him a dry towel: “Wipe your hands.
There are some people in the world who are born to be respected by others, and Lucila believes that Severo is one of those people.
When she saw him bending down to wash the dishes, she sensed something was wrong and wanted to take the bowl, pour him a cup of tea and persuade him to sit on the sofa and wait.
In reality, she had no sense of class difference. It was the first time he had unconsciously subjected himself to another person. It was horrible!
“Thank you.
Unlike the hostility towards Lucila when they first met, this time Severo took the towel and thanked her politely.
Lucila made a quick hand gesture: “You’re welcome”.
She was not lucky enough to enjoy their gratitude, she was nervous!
