Chapter 62: I had my eye on the Delahoz Group from the beginning.
Xabat looked at Severo with a serious face: “Boss, I didn’t know that Miss Delahoz was also coming.
Allyce would be crazy to believe the bullshit of these two people.
Severo didn’t even look at Allyce and said indifferently: “It’s OK.
Xabat immediately poured water for Severus with great diligence.
“Allyce, come and sit down, what do you want to eat quickly? We haven’t even ordered anything, we’re just waiting for you to come.” Lucila pulled her to sit down and handed her the menu as if to please her.
Allyce looked at her with a cold face and smiled cheekily.
Then he poured his water and smiled again, leaving Allyce nowhere to vent her anger.
Xabat also intervened sidelong: “Ask for whatever you want, don’t worry about us, we’ll eat it all”.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
“All of it?” Allyce looked at Xabat and her eyes drifted to Severo.
He looked a little out of place sitting in this kind of place in his expensive suit, his face as cold as ever, with not a hint of discomfort to be seen.
Fortunately, he had not been seen in front of the press and no one knew him.
Despite this, their table is clearly distinguishable from the rest of the diners around them.
Xabat nodded: “The boss and I eat everything, we are not fussy about what we eat.
Allyce nodded, this was for her to command.
He remembered the last time he ate stew, Severo hadn’t dipped into anything with red soup on top, he used to cook at home and put very little chilli in it.
He called the owner and quoted a list of dishes: “A spicy hot pot, a grilled fish and spicy beef …”.
Allyce flipped through the menu again and added a few dishes: “That’s all, thank you.
The owner wrote down the names of the dishes and left, Allyce looked up to see Xabat’s strange face.
It seemed I had guessed correctly, Severo didn’t eat much spicy food.
I didn’t know exactly how these guys got together, but I knew it was definitely not a coincidence that Severo came with them.
He looked at Severo with just the right smile on his face: “Doesn’t Mr. Betances have a flight tonight?
“The flight is at one o’clock in the morning, there is still time to have dinner before we go”.
Severo’s voice was a little low, dispersing slowly through the air in a way that was pleasant and soothing to the ear.
But Allyce didn’t find it relaxing at all.
He took a sip of water and stopped talking.
In a few moments, the plates went up one after the other.
Allyce had ordered all the spicy dishes on purpose, so she could play a little trick!
Although Xabat is a foreigner, he has lived in China for a few years and can eat spicy food, and it goes without saying that Lucila and Allyce can also eat spicy food.
Only Severo, who has been abroad for more than a decade, looked at the table of plates and squinted.
And then …
To the astonished eyes of Allyce and Xabat, he quietly picked up his chopsticks and began to eat… the food.
Allyce was slightly stunned – was she wrong in her estimation that Severo was really capable of eating spicy food?
At the end of the meal, Lucila suddenly got up and said she was going to get some tea with milk, Xabat also got up immediately: “I’ll go with Lucila”.
Then Allyce and Severo were the only two people left at the table.
Allyce buried her head in her food, pretending Severo didn’t exist.
But then Severo suddenly called out to her: “Allyce”.
Allyce looked at him and Severo continued: “For some reason, I can’t appear before the media and I don’t want to appear before Casimiro, but the L. K. branch hasn’t been in the country long and needs to find a strong company to work with”.
Allyce’s chewing slowed, what was he doing talking to her about this right now?
“So you deliberately named me and didn’t see Senona because they had met you and you didn’t want them to know that you were the president of L. K .”
Not to help it recover its shares, but he had had his eye on the Delahoz group for a long time.
Without showing his face and without L. K. appearing too proactive and losing his head, he created the illusion that Casimiro and the others thought he was interested in Allyce and that was why he had appointed her to negotiate the contract and not to work with the Delahoz Group.
Allyce spoke indifferently: “Why the Delahoz Group?”
Could it be that your intention had been simple from the start, just to work with the Delahoz Group?
Allyce didn’t think it was a valid idea, it was a far-fetched reason to go to such lengths to stay in that small flat with her for such a simple purpose.
Severo’s answer was simple: “The Delahoz Group would be perfect”.
He was a businessman, in business, and she believed he was telling the truth.
Soon Lucila and Xabat returned.
One carried a cup of tea with milk and brought two more cups.
“Miss Delahoz, this cup is yours”. Xabat handed her a cup and placed the other cup with a straw in front of Qin Shen.
Severo gave a cold look and Xabat consciously withdrew his hand, muttering: “Apart from the strong aroma, the taste is quite good …”.
Severo’s eyes grew even colder and Xabat immediately shut up.
Allyce suddenly felt a certain sympathy for Xabat.
…
As Severo and the others had to go to the airport later, they split up after dinner.
In the car.
Severo sat in the back with slightly sleepy eyes, the back of one hand on his forehead, looking a little uncomfortable.
Xabat drove on, looking at him in the rear-view mirror without saying a word.
As he passed a pharmacy, he stopped and got out of the car.
After a few moments, he came back in with a cup of hot water and a box of medicine.
He handed Severo the hot water and the medicine in his hand, frowning slightly.
Severo looked at it and took it, swallowing two pills before speaking, “Thank you”.
“Hmph!”
Xabat growled coldly, unwilling to pay attention to him.
In all his years of following Severo, he learned for the first time that the word “death” was imprinted on Severo’s bones.
…
Allyce took Lucila home.
When she arrived at the door of her house, Lucila smiled and said: “Then I’ll get out of the car.
Allyce looked at her, “Out”.
When Lucila got out of the car, she leaned back over the window and said in a whispering voice: “See you tomorrow!
Allyce felt goose bumps all over her body as she looked at Lucila with a smile, suddenly her eyes landed behind Lucila and her face changed: “Lucila, behind you …”.
Lucila’s heart fluttered, “What’s wrong …?”
Lucila was a believer in ghosts and gods, and seeing her face change in an instant of fright, Allyce laughed pleasantly: “It’s a joke, I’ll be back first”.
With a stomp, he left.
Lucila stood in the back, unable to vent her anger.
…
The next day was Friday, and there was a closing meeting at the office.
Allyce arrived at the office punctually and, when the meeting started, headed straight for the conference room.
When he arrived, Senona was also there.
Allyce’s gaze stopped and a cold look crossed her eyes.
As soon as she saw Allyce enter, a meaningful smile appeared on Senona’s face: “Allyce is here.
