Chapter 98: Gala dinner (3)
Enzo froze, “Allyce, you …”
“Enzo.
Senona, wearing a white evening dress, was on her way there.
After approaching, she saw that Allyce and Severo were also there, and she was slightly stunned, first taking Enzo’s arm possessively before turning her head to look at Allyce, “I didn’t expect Allyce to be there, Grandpa is here too, aren’t you coming over to say hello?”
After Senona finished, her eyes lingered on Severo for a moment before quickly looking away again.
This party has a threshold, Severo should not be able to get an invitation, how did he bring Allyce?
He remembered the last time he ate with them at Kimdis, and when he wanted to pay the bill, he was told that the bill had been waived because Severo had a friendship with the owner of Kimdis.
I guess that was the case this time too.
And then there was Friday’s incident, which was to serve to send Allyce’s reputation plummeting and never to rise again, which Severo’s boss at Kimdis must have saved.
Despite her thoughts, Senona’s smile did not change and she turned her head towards Enzo with a slight reproach in her tone, “You knew Allyce was coming and you didn’t ask me to come and say hello. Otherwise you could have introduced Allyce to some friends.
Enzo thought Senona was right. He turned his head to look at Allyce, but stopped his words when he saw the mockery in her eyes, and a tinge of irritation welled up in his heart.
He pushed Senona, in his impatient tone: “I’m going out for some air”.
After saying that, he left Senona alone, turned his head and left.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Senona sensed that Allyce had seen the joke, her face turned unusually ugly, and she turned her head and followed her out.
…
When these two busybodies had left, Allyce sensed that something was wrong and turned her head to find Severo looking at her with a grim face.
Allyce felt so weak from his stare that she coughed dryly and searched for something to say: “What do you want to eat?
Severus snorted coldly, obviously not going to pay attention to her, but he still reached for the drink he brought, ruffling her hair as he turned his head to the side.
The sideways face looked extremely tall and cold.
He leaned on the sofa, one arm on the armrest of the sofa, bent, legs bent, the other hand pinched a cigarette, neither lit nor smoked, there was little expression on his face.
“Are you addicted to tobacco?” Allyce thought back to the last time she saw him smoke.
Severo looked at her: “A little”.
“Then why don’t you smoke?” wondered Allyce.
Severo looked at her with a “stupid” face: “Do you like second-hand smoke?”
“No.” Allyce shook her head, then laughed and wrapped her arms around him, “So, you’re doing this to please me?”
As the words fell, Severo’s expressionless face was slightly dazed for a moment, and without realising it he saw most of her snow-white legs exposed because her skirt was too short, and his face sank, reaching out to nudge her: “Sit up straight.
“I’m not a primary school student.” Allyce doesn’t move on him, he’s so accommodating to her, why doesn’t he play the game more, he won’t do anything to her anyway.
Severo’s face was darker, but there was nothing he could do about it, he could only sit up straight with a cold face, and with that, Allyce’s body straightened too.
Allyce pursed her lips and couldn’t help but laugh.
Severo saw her smile, the hand holding the cigarette stiffened, his eyes deepened, and he whispered, “I’ll make you admit you’re wrong when we get home.
Allyce smiled and was about to say something when Lucila and Neto approached, “Allyce”.
Lucila called her, people have come to the front.
“You two sit here and don’t run around.
Severo stood up and caressed the folds of his body, took a glass of wine that Neto handed him, turned his head to look at Allyce, he wanted to touch her head, but today she had combed her hair and was afraid of messing it up, so he could only withdraw his hand roughly.
Before he left, he looked at her and said only three words: “Be good. Don’t mess with other men.
These last words were not uttered by Severo, and Neto left with him.
Lucila sat next to Allyce: “It’s the first time I come to this kind of party, so boring, I can’t understand the rich people”.
“Stop it, I’m poor. Allyce looked at her.
Once Severo left, she didn’t see much point in it either.
“You and Mr. Betances, you …” said Lucila, bumping his shoulder and giving him a tentative look.
Then she reached out again and tugged at Allyce’s extremely conservative dress, “Look at the whole party, that dressed like you, neck boobs arms, all wrapped up, say, did you do something indescribably wrong with Severo?”
Allyce stuck out her legs, a serious: “Haven’t you seen me show my legs?”.
“Tsk, look what’s here.” Lucila pointed to a slightly bruised area on her leg.
Allyce’s dress is indeed very conservative, except for the thighs, nowhere else is exposed, the length of the dress is originally knee-length, after she sat down, the hem of the dress shrinks inwards, revealing a thigh.
And Lucila pointed to the place, it’s the edge of the skirt of the skin, where there is a very obvious bruise.
Allyce blushes and hastily tugs at the hem of her dress, feigning composure: “It’s nothing.
“I’ve never eaten pork, but I’ve never seen a pig run, so get yourself a mirror and see what you look like now.” Lucila mocked her.
“All right, that’s enough.
“I think this is good, Mr. Betances treats you well, AND you have a marriage certificate protected by law ah, even if he gets divorced, you can get a large amount of alimony.”
Lucila’s whole being is wrapped up in alimony, three words in.
Allyce thought about what Severo said and gave Lucila a blank stare, “Dream on,” she said.
Lucila still wanted to say something, Allyce smiled and patted her on the head: “You dream first, I’m going to the bathroom.
Lucila stared: “I’ll go with you”.
Allyce had already left: “I’ll go alone”.
…
Allyce came out of the bathroom stall and was washing her hands when she heard Severo’s voice from outside the bathroom.
“Mr Aybar”.
“Hello. It was the voice of Enzo’s father, Jonas: “Excuse me, is that you?
“Severo, vice-president of Blue Sky Investments”.
Severo’s voice seemed a little different than usual, sounding humble and solemn, as if he was trying to befriend Jonas on purpose.
Allyce, who had intended to leave, retreated again and hid inside to listen to them talk.
After a few more official words, the two voices moved away.
Knowing they were leaving, Allyce stepped out, looking in the direction of the two departing people, face flashed with the look of thought.
Severo in the end why hide the identity, why want to be friends with Jonas.
If he simply wanted to meet Jonas, wouldn’t it be easier for him to discover his identity?
