Chapter 21: It Tastes Good, It’s Sweet
Allyce shouted anxiously, “Let go of me”.
Severo did not let go of her hand and said eloquently: “I am a man absolutely devoted to his marriage. I believe that you are also wholehearted…”.
In fact, there was nothing he could not contain as far as he was concerned.
However, it was also very interesting to see how she managed to get Allyce to shed her usual mask of coldness and reveal a vulnerable and shy side to her character.
Was fidelity to your marriage the reason you had to do this?
Allyce’s heart beats so hard she wants to hide under the duvet.
…
The following day.
When Allyce woke up, no one was there.
I could hear small noises coming from the kitchen.
She got up to get out of bed. As soon as his feet touched the floor, his eyes fell on Severo, who was heating up the milk.
Allyce remembered the night before and gave him a look of pure hatred as she hurried into the bathroom, clutching her clothes and closing the door behind her.
With a smile on his lips, Severo happily lit the frying pan to fry the bacon.
In the bathroom, Allyce scratches her hair in annoyance and mutters, “Nice guy? What a load of crap. He has no shame.
For a while, Allyce does not go out.
Severo walked up and knocked on the door: “Breakfast is ready. It’s Monday, so I have to get to the office early. Let’s go. Let’s eat quickly so we can get going.
There was no response inside. Contemplation shone in Severo’s eyes. Was she still angry about last night?
The next moment, the bathroom door burst open. Allyce, her hair horribly dishevelled, asked him: “Is it Monday? .
Severo’s eyes lingered in his head for a second before he answered: “Yes.
*BANG
The bathroom door slammed shut. Ten minutes later, the door opened again. This time, Allyce was dressed as if she were going to a fancy dinner.
Severo raised an eyebrow: “You’re going to a party?
“No, I’m starting my internship at the Delahoz Group today”. Allyce sat across the table expressionlessly.
Severo froze: “You’re going to the Delahoz Group”.
Allyce looked at him, thinking he was talking nonsense.
Severo was not impressed. He said: “My friend’s car has been repaired. I will leave it at the office.
“That won’t be necessary. Allyce flatly refused.
He finished his breakfast quickly and grabbed his bag to leave, but Severo blocked the door.” Do you want to leave after breakfast?”
“Do I have to pay for breakfast too?” said Allyce bluntly, her heart already choking with irritation.
Suddenly, Severo took her face in his hands and kissed her.
Reluctantly ending the kiss, he raised his head: “A kiss good morning and a kiss goodbye”.
“…”
Allyce was taken aback by his words, her arrogance gone in an instant. Her face flushed with surprise, she finally said, “Do you know how long it took me to get that lipstick on perfectly?
Severo pretended not to hear her and licked his lips: “Use it tomorrow too, it tastes good”.
After a moment’s thought, he added: “It’s sweet.
Allyce’s face turned red. She pushed him off and hurried away on her heels, running like a flamingo about to take flight.
Severo touched his lips, a gleam of joy in his eyes. Indeed, this was getting interesting.
…
8. 40 am, the doors of the Delahoz group of companies.
As soon as Allyce appeared, he attracted a lot of people’s attention.
Many people knew what had happened four years ago, not to mention the employees of the Delahoz Group who knew what had happened.
“What a beautiful woman, who is she?”
“You don’t even know? She is the cousin of Senona, the second daughter of the Delahoz family, and she has just returned home”.
“No wonder she’s so pretty, is she here on an internship? She must be brilliant.
“Pfft! Is it brilliant? Not at all. Don’t be fooled by her pretty face, you think she studied abroad? She was sent abroad because …. No one in the Delahoz family wants her because she brings shame to the family …”
“She doesn’t look like that kind of woman. She doesn’t look like that kind of woman …”
“…”
Allyce, now immune to these words, turned her head and looked at them coldly.
Startled, the two quietly speaking employees immediately fell silent and returned to their posts.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“Allyce.
Senona’s voice came from behind her. Allyce pursed her lips and turned around.
It turned out that Senona was not alone; Casimiro Delahoz was with her.
Allyce walks up and says quietly, “Good morning, grandfather! Casimir looked her up and down, looking disgusted. He said coldly: “You two, come with me”.
Allyce and Senona walked side by side behind Casimiro. Senona turned to look at her and said in a voice only they could hear, “You love getting pretty in that dress for work.
Allyce scoffed: “Senona, what are you talking about? My dress is much cheaper than yours. Every woman wants to look good. I’ll take that as a compliment.
Senona’s expression hardens and she turns her head without speaking.
Neither of them said another word until they entered Casimiro’s office.
“Senona! Allyce doesn’t know anything, so you should teach her. If you can find the right position for her, so much the better”.
Casimiro finished his speech and turned to Allyce. His usually cordial tone was cold. Follow your cousin and study hard. Don’t go around getting into trouble, or don’t even think about joining the Delahoz group.
“I understand, grandfather.
Allyce lowered her eyes to the floor, unable to ignore the mockery.
Because Casimiro trusted Senona so much, Allyce hoped that he would not be too disappointed with her in the future.
If Senona could find a way to discredit her, then she could play the same trick in office.
They both left the office.
Senona had a friendly smile on her face, but one that only others could see. Which department do you want to go to, do you have a number in mind? If not, go to the public relations department. Recently, the company decided to work with the Nuncio family and Mr. Nuncio has always admired him”.
Richie!
Without waiting for her to say anything, Senona said, “Since you have no objections, I assume you are happy with the position. I will go and make the arrangements now.
