Chapter 74 :Eat meat then?
Eric’s memory of Allyce was still stuck in four years ago.
She still remembers the scene that day, when she knelt in the courtyard of the Delahoz family’s villa and begged Casimiro to believe that she had not been fooling around with anyone and had not had an abortion.
But the evidence was so compelling that Casimiro chose not to believe her, threw her a card and had her escorted to the airport.
So, as far as Eric can remember, Allyce is still the same young girl who can be taken advantage of at will, a bit silly and sometimes rebellious.
Unexpectedly, he not only refused her request, but also returned her words.
When Allyce finished, he saw that Eric hadn’t said anything, so he asked again, “What does the GM think?
Of course Eric wasn’t going to be sidetracked by her like that, “Allyce, no outsiders now, no need to be so formal, just call me uncle”.
“I don’t agree with the CEO, in the company, of course, you have to do things in a businesslike way, if nothing else, I will leave first.”
Allyce said, stood up and prepared to leave.
They really thought I was a fool.
I no longer had any feelings for Casimiro.
As she was about to leave, Eric called out to her, “Allyce!”
“GM, first I have to get back to work, everyone in the company knows I signed the contract with L. K, a lot of people are looking at me, it would be a slap in the face to the Delahoz family if I don’t do something! I’m going to work hard.
Without giving Eric a chance to speak again, Allyce turned and walked out.
Back in the office, she poured herself a large glass in one gulp, feeling less than relieved.
It was barely time to leave work.
I still felt the need to meet Casimiro.
She knew the location of the private hospital where the Delahoz family always stayed, just walk up and ask for the name.
…
Xabat left the Kimdis and received a call from Severo.
Severo’s emotionless voice came from the other end of the line: “Is it done?
Xabat’s heart broke, but he told the truth: “I am on my way”.
“Then drive to the office and we’ll go together.” Severo hung up the phone after that.
Xabat held the phone with a puzzled look on his face, why did the boss suddenly want to get a dog?
On the other end, Severo hung up the phone, read the papers for a while, made a few calls to arrange tomorrow’s meeting and then grabbed his coat and went downstairs.
He arrived just in time, coming down the stairs just as Xabat parked his car.
Since Severo had thrown the Rolls Royce at him, he had taken it to his warehouse and hidden it for fear that Severo would see it and destroy it.
Now he has come in a Bentley.
“An appointment has been made with the people at the pet shop to choose the dog, so you can choose yourself if you go there.”
Now he really wants to have a dog!
It was not known what Miss Delahoz had done to the chief.
Once Severo got into the car, he took a nap with his eyes closed and paid no attention to Xabat.
Thank goodness Xabat had long since got used to it.
As soon as he entered the pet shop, Severo frowned, clearly uncomfortable.
Xabat realised his discomfort: “Boss, why don’t I help you choose a pet dog?
“No.” Severo turned him down, lifted his feet and went inside.
The owner of the pet shop did not know Severo, only Xabat, and as soon as he saw him he called him: “Mr. Vasconcelos”.
“I’ve brought a friend to see the dog”. Xabat still didn’t call Severo boss in front of the outsiders and seemed very suspicious.
There were a lot of people coming in and out of Kimdis and it was Xabat who always took care of it, so there were a lot of people in Unjo who knew Xabat.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Well, please come in. The owner welcomed them inside and then asked Severo: “What kind of dog do you want? What breed do you want, I have all the pure breeds here”.
Severo looked at the owner: “You want a grumpy but intelligent dog”.
The owner’s eyes lit up: “She is an Afghan Hound! Noble and elegant, absolutely beautiful, purebred”.
With that, the owner led him to a cage and pointed to a small Afghan hound inside and said: “That’s the one”.
Severo glanced at the small puppy, cowering and teary-eyed, and frowned: “Something with more temperament, something intelligent.
The owner: “…”
The owner had to point out a Bull Terrier to Severo.
Severo is still frowning: “It’s too ugly”.
The more Xabat followed Severo, the more he heard, and the more he thought the description of the owner sounded a little familiar.
Pretty, grumpy and smart …
Was it his mistake? It always seemed to him that the boss was talking about Miss Delahoz.
The chief pointed out to Severo a few more dogs in quick succession, one by one, which he discarded.
Finally, Severo entered on his own and stopped in front of a small puppy with a black and white body.
It was black all over, except for its four legs, neck and mouth.
The puppy’s dark eyes looked at Severo for a second and then looked away coolly.
Severo raised an eyebrow: “I’ll take this one.
The owner rushed over and, seeing him point to a Border Collie, quickly smiled and said: “Border Collies are the smartest dogs in the breed.
“Yes,” Severo answered, and suddenly turned his eyes to look at him as if something had occurred to him: “Do you eat beef?
“Dogs are carnivores, they eat beef”.
“That’s good.
With that, Severo turned around and left, Xabat followed behind and paid for the dog and took him back.
……
Allyce got stuck in traffic on her way to the hospital.
It turned out that it was rush hour and there was no way to get through without traffic.
Traffic was moving slowly like ants and Allyce’s temper was wearing thin.
Without looking out of the window, he saw a familiar face reflected in the window of a black car on the other side of the road.
It was Severo.
Allyce thought about what Lucila had said yesterday and leaned back, a little distracted.
In reality, Severo had seen Allyce’s car from a distance and had raised the window so that, through the laminated glass, he could see Allyce, who could not see him from the outside.
The two cars were not far apart and he could vaguely make out the impatience on her face.
A bad temper, much like the dog he had just bought.
Allyce had turned her head to look at Severo without a second thought, and he had closed the window after seeing her!
Is this what you meant the other day when you said you didn’t have to have it?
There are not so many loving men in the world, it is women who deceive themselves.
Allyce pursed her lips, her impatience replaced by frustration.
When the traffic finally started to move forward, he stepped on the accelerator and kept going.
Severo slowly opened the window and looked in the direction Allyce’s car was heading, passing what appeared to be a hospital.
Sick?
