Chapter 69: Get out of my way, I just want my woman
This time L. K. sent a middle-aged man to talk to Allyce about follow-up cooperation.
He was dressed in a sophisticated black suit and looked serious and stereotypical.
Allyce unconsciously straightened her back when she saw that the other party was such a person.
“Mr. Barr, hi, it’s Allyce.”
Allyce was a young junior and it was only right that she should initiate the greeting.
“Miss Delahoz. Mr. Barr also stood up, shook hands politely and let her go.
Then it was on to the business of work.
As she expected, this Mr. Barr was a serious and stereotypical man, with special attention to detail.
So the afternoon passed with very little progress.
On the way back, Lucila couldn’t help complaining: “Why is he such a stereotypical middle-aged man, I’m so tired of talking to him that I can’t even smile.
“I think it’s fine.
Allyce thought it was good that it wasn’t Severo, at least she could accept the other person’s negativity and learn a lot more.
If I were Severo …
It was probably because their relationship was not pure and he had always played the role of tolerating her, so although what he said made sense, she did not fully accept it.
…
After work, she and Lucila found a place to grab a quick bite to eat for dinner.
As the work progressed so slowly, Allyce was very aware of its shortcomings and went home with a lot of information to read further.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
It was close to ten o’clock when Allyce’s phone rang.
When she saw the caller ID, she froze.
Severo was calling.
He paused, tossed it aside and went back to his business.
But the phone kept ringing as if against her.
She wanted to turn it off, but then thought that she was in the middle of a project with L. K., and since she was just a co-worker, she was overdoing it.
No, it was after hours …
Finally, Allyce answered the phone.
As soon as the call was answered, an unfamiliar male voice rang out: “Mrs. Betances, President Betances is drunk, come and pick him up”.
“Where is Neto Pastrano?”
“President Pastrano has also had too much to drink”.
The man then gave him a list of addresses and hung up the phone.
Allyce had not reacted to what was happening.
Call her Mrs. Betances …
I think it was Blue Sky Investments.
Severo found it difficult to be the head of Kimdis and run the L. K. Group and at the same time juggle Blue Sky.
Allyce called Xabat directly.
“Miss Delahoz, my sister is coming from the United States and she is hospitalised with dizziness, I can’t go there right now …”
Xabat’s tone still had some concern in it, not as a lie.
Allyce had to drive to the place the man had told her about earlier to pick up Severo.
The address was a restaurant I had not been to before.
She had just got out of the car and was on her way to the door when a man approached her, calling out, “Mrs. Betances”.
“Hello”.
“President Betances is in the private room inside”.
The man led her inside as he said, “Today is the company’s anniversary, so I invited my colleagues from the company to a party and we all had fun, so we got drunk ….”
He seemed to be explaining the reason why Severo was drunk.
However, Allyce didn’t care about that at all.
Once inside, he noticed that the compartment was almost empty.
There were a few other people with glasses up and drinking, some smoking cigarettes and talking.
The smell of food and smoke and alcohol mingled, and the smell was unpleasant to the senses.
Allyce frowned and went inside.
“President Betances, Mrs. Betances is here to pick you up.” The man who had shown her in approached Severo and nudged him with a very gentle movement.
Severo was sitting alone against one of the sofas, his face no different from usual.
His tie was pulled back, loosely around his neck, and he had one hand on his abdomen and the other on his temple, his eyes slightly sleepy and his brow slightly furrowed, looking distressed.
When the man finished speaking, he saw no reaction from Severo.
Allyce approached and asked, “How much have you had to drink?”
“I don’t know, anyway, he didn’t even refuse when we toasted him”.
“How many?”
“All of them.
“…,” Allyce pursed her lips, suddenly wanting to curse.
There were thirty to forty people in the box, so how many people had to drink for one person?
Forget it, he wasn’t a normal person either.
Allyce couldn’t say how she felt, so she went up to him and shouted, “Severo”.
No response.
Allyce reached out and patted him on the face, but Severo suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, his voice low, “For …”.
The man who brought her to the side saw him and hastily coughed dryly: “Mrs. Betances, let me help you help President Betances into the car.
“Well, please.” Allyce nodded towards him.
With great effort, he withdrew his hand and allowed his partner to help Severo into his car.
After the compañero helped Severo up, he pulled out another phone: “This is President Betances’ phone.
“Thank you.” Allyce picked up the phone, looked at it and prepared to toss it aside.
Another thought assailed her and she switched on the phone.
He touched the address book and found only three contacts.
The contact notes were: wife, Xabat and Neto.
On recent calls, the “wife’s” number showed that she had been called within the last hour.
Her number was the same number from which the male colleague had just called her.
Allyce hung up the phone and turned her head to look at Severo, whose head was bowed in anguish.
She stared at him for a moment and bent down to fasten his seatbelt.
Once buckled in, she was about to leave when a pair of hands encircled her waist, “Allyce …”
Allyce froze and looked up to meet Severo’s slightly confused eyes.
It looked like he was really drunk.
The events of that night were still fresh in her mind, but suddenly she was not so angry and lost her temper, and just whispered, “Let me go, I want to drive”.
As if he hadn’t heard her, Severo not only didn’t let go, but rubbed his head against her shoulder, like a puppy.
The car was parked on the side of the road and people were getting in and out, so the two of them were huddled together.
Allyce’s voice went cold: “Severo, if you don’t let go, I’m going to throw you out.
At the sound of her voice, Severo released her and stepped back lazily, half-smiling, his hazel eyes looking less intimidating than usual.
Allyce did not look at him again.
He drove the car to a hotel and stopped.
He had no intention of taking Qin Mu home.
“Get a room and please have someone drive the gentleman in my car there for a moment.
Allyce led the men to the car and asked them to take Severo upstairs.
Who would have thought that the men’s hands had just touched Severo when he suddenly opened his eyes, turned them away and said loudly: “Go away, all of you, I just want my wife.
