Chapter 199: Who sent you?
At noon, Allyce went to the Public Security Office to retrieve the money.
She took the opportunity to ask again, and the policeman was a little vague, which made her even more certain that Severo had helped her.
He looked at his wallet, which contained the money he had lost earlier.
I couldn’t understand what the hell Severo was thinking.
…
It wasn’t until the end of the day that he wondered if he should approach Severo about it.
It so happened that he had not yet finished his work, so he worked overtime for an hour or so.
When he left the company building, it was already dark and the street lamps were lit.
It always got dark unusually early in the winter time.
Allyce adjusted her clothes on the way out and looked up to see a man leaning against the headlights of his car, smoking.
In the streetlight, he could see the smoke rising from her lips and then dissipating.
Her steps faltered and her eyes fell on the man who had been bothering her all day.
How did it get here?
Severo seemed to sense that someone was watching him too, and he turned to Allyce, his gaze resting precisely on him.
The next moment, he dropped the cigarette he was holding and strutted towards her.
As he walked, he took off the scarf he had tied.
By the time he reached her, he had tied it around her neck.
The texture of the scarf was comfortable and carried his signature scent.
She was stunned for a moment by his gesture, and her heart softened a little at it.
Allyce reached out and touched the scarf, the edges of which were cold, and looked at him, pursing the corners of her mouth as she asked, “What brings you here?
Because of what happened at midday today, his heart could not help but wait a little longer for Severo.
Had he come to pick her up from work?
Not that she had to think so, but the coolness of the edge of her scarf suggested that she had been here a long time.
Severo’s voice was a little muffled: “I have a dinner tonight and I need to bring a companion”.
He spoke in a flat tone and stood against the light, so that Allyce could not read his expression.
Disappointment set in.
“So. He only picked her up because he was missing a partner?
Severo frowned slightly at his casual tone, but still didn’t make it clear that the meal was really just Neto being the host.
He had thought of taking Allyce because he knew that Neto would ask Izar to accompany him.
Allyce’s heart was lost, so she looked at the ground and stopped talking.
Severo felt his mood drop a little and said two words: “Come in”.
He turned back to the car and opened the passenger door.
…
The car drove along the wide road, the cabin was quiet and somewhat dull.
Allyce wrapped her scarf around her neck and turned her head to look out of the car window.
Now, suddenly, he didn’t even want to ask Severo again about being asked by the police to collect the money.
Severo seemed to be concentrating on driving, but part of his attention was on Allyce.
When he saw her leaning expressionless against the car window, his brow furrowed fiercely.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“You … won’t go if you don’t want to.
Before the last words could be spoken, several cars burst out of nowhere and surrounded the car Severo was driving.
When he saw the cars around him, his first thought was that Allyce was in the car and he couldn’t let her get hurt, so he was forced to stop.
Severo’s car had not gone very far, this area is full of office buildings and at night there are quite a lot of people coming and going, and there are not many cars on this road.
Moreover, when you look at these people, there is no one to ask.
The car slowed abruptly to a stop and Allyce turned her attention back to the car: “What’s going on?
There were only three cars surrounding them and by then the people in them had got out, almost a dozen.
Severo ignored Allyce’s question, his eyes slightly downcast as he handed the phone to Allyce, calm and confidence written on his forehead, “When I get out of the car, lock the security lock and don’t get out.”
After saying that, without giving Allyce time to react, he pushed open the door and got out of the car.
After Severo got out of the car, he quickly closed the door behind him and his voice was cold: “Who sent you?
Although his words came out in the form of a question, his mind was already fixed on a few people.
All those people were carrying long sticks in their hands, green in colour and wearing black clothes, and one of them remarked: “Don’t you know when you have offended someone yourselves and you come to ask us?
After saying that, someone in the crowd snorted.
Severo looked at them with a cold, sullen face, his hand slowly curled at his side as he looked towards the car.
But he couldn’t see Allyce in the car.
Allyce, however, could see it.
As soon as he got out of the car, she obediently locked the safety lock.
There were too many of them and they had sticks in their hands. She knew nothing and would be beaten as soon as she got out of the car, and she would drag Severo with her.
I had never seen Severo fight, so I wasn’t sure how well he could handle himself.
I couldn’t hear what the people outside were saying, but it sounded like it was going to happen soon.
Allyce calmed down a little.
Yes, this was a situation that needed to be reported to the police, but before she could dial the number, Allyce felt too stupid.
If I called the police in this situation, they wouldn’t be able to come so quickly.
He took out Severo’s phone and looked for Neto’s number to dial him, but he didn’t answer after half a day.
Allyce hung up and called Xabat, who quickly answered: “Boss, what’s up?
Allyce’s voice was urgent: “Xabat, it’s me, Severo and I were detained not far from Delahoz’s group, there were more than ten people on the other side …”.
So before she could finish, she was interrupted by Xabat with a tone full of disinterest: “A dozen people, it’s all right, Miss Delahoz, you don’t have to rush, I’ll bring someone right away.
“You have to hurry, there are more than ten people on the other side …,” Allyce stressed.
“Miss Delahoz, you really don’t need to rush, the boss is not as useless as you think, don’t worry.” With that, Xabat hung up the phone.
Useless?
I had never thought that one person who could not fight ten was useless.
But faced with so many enemies, she was very worried.
However, ten minutes later, Allyce felt that she had really considered Severo to be too useless.
The ten men were lowered down by Severo and Allyce hurried to open the car door: “Get in”.
Severo turned his head to look at her, his voice cold: “Get back in the car.
