Chapter 278: Dogs understand affection better than people do.
For a whole week, Moon Culture Media was stuck working overtime.
From the top of the company to the ordinary staff at the bottom, everyone had to work overtime.
Allyce had already spent two consecutive sleepless nights and, although she had bruises under her eyes, she seemed to be in good spirits.
Ester knocked on the door with a stack of papers and put them in front of Allyce: “Director Delahoz, here are the new plans for each department …”.
Allyce lifted her eyelids and looked at her, “Why did you bring them here? Where are they?”
“They … are busy with other things …”
Ester’s voice is cracking as she speaks, where she does not know that these department heads are worried about being criticised by Allyce, a young subordinate.
This new director Delahoz might have seemed useless, but she was incredibly strong.
Allyce’s eyebrows twitched and she spoke indistinctly: “Is that so?
Of course, he knew that no one in the company liked working such long hours, and they had deliberately made it difficult for him in the beginning.
But it was only after she had thoroughly analysed each department’s proposal and weighed the pros and cons in a meeting that those who thought they had experience and despised her began to admire her.
In his first year at Cloud Cit, he went to study abroad, and in his second year he spent time with Desiderio learning about business and company management.
Desiderio had complimented her on her talent, but what he didn’t know was that she was so dedicated to her work that she worked almost day and night to change her approach.
Esther watched Allyce’s face intently, not daring to speak.
“Go ahead, get out. Allyce nonchalantly opened a blueprint and again gave instructions: “In ten minutes, notify all department heads of the meeting”.
Esther was quick to reply: “Yes”.
Then he opened the door and went out.
Ester, a girl who looked a bit young, was very conscientious, so Allyce asked her to be her assistant.
…
It was five o’clock in the afternoon when the meeting ended, right at the end of the day.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Allyce knew that there had been too much overtime lately and people in the company were complaining.
He looked around the circle, everyone had a tired look on their faces and he spoke, “This time everyone delivered good plans, it has been a hard week for everyone, today we don’t have to work overtime, I will invite everyone to dinner at Kimdis in the evening, bring your families if you have them and I hope you will give me this opportunity to invite everyone.”
Allyce finished her speech and smiled, reversing the serious look she had just worn during the meeting.
A pretty young woman with a smile is always contagious.
Someone soon intervened: “You are very kind, Director Delahoz. …”
“That’s right, that’s all we have to do”.
“Superintendent Delahoz himself has had a hard time …”
Looking at these people saying polite things, Allyce kept a smile on her face, but in her heart she was cursing these people for being too cunning.
Allyce smiled, “It’s settled then, everyone has to be there in the afternoon, we’re going to leave work now”.
…
Back in his office, Allyce sat back in his chair and rubbed his forehead.
She didn’t want to choose Kimdis either, but it was the only place in all of Cloud Cit that was the most luxurious.
Kimdis was Severo’s place, and I was afraid to meet him again.
She had not seen or heard from him since the day he returned to the small flat when they had said goodbye.
As for tonight …
Never mind, don’t think about it.
She and Severo, probably … would have something to do with it.
9pm, Kimdis.
When Allyce arrived at Kimdis’ door, she saw Esther and asked, “Is everyone here?
Esther looked relieved to see Allyce, who was running late, “Most of them are here”.
“Well, make a note of those who didn’t show up and give me the list later. Allyce gave instructions and headed inside.
I had arrived an hour late on purpose.
She knew that the company was full of people unhappy with her, and it was human nature that when she invited people to dinner, they were basically late, although not all of them didn’t come.
She was new to the company and it was difficult to convince people, which was normal, and something she and Desiderio had discussed from the beginning.
And it was the people who didn’t come who were really difficult.
With this in mind, Allyce headed for the cashier’s door.
He pushed open the door, a decent smile on his face and a hint of apology in his voice: “Sorry to keep everyone waiting, the car broke down on the way here …”
Although everyone knew it was an excuse, they shook their heads and said it was fine.
This was to be expected from Allyce, as she took a step forward and curved her lips, “I’ll start by punishing myself with three drinks.”
With that, he drank three glasses of wine in a row before sitting down.
Although the new officials are said to have three fires in their office, these three fires have almost burnt out, so don’t push people too far, and don’t make too big a show of it.
Someone began to cheer: “Superintendent Delahoz is a good drinker, cheers”.
Allyce smiled and raised her glass again.
I knew that this was only the beginning, and that the meal would not be over for another three or four hours.
…
Allyce hadn’t often been a drinker, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t a good drinker.
These people were determined to serve Allyce wine, but it was good to remember that she had an incredible track record, so it wasn’t too much of a stretch.
Allyce gritted her teeth and downed one drink after another, finding the opportunity to excuse herself to go to the bathroom halfway through.
“Vomit…”
He slumped over the sink for a few moments, feeling as if his stomach was going to vomit before he felt better.
After washing her face with cold water, Allyce felt refreshed and ready to get back in the box again.
As a result, just as he reached the bathroom door, he heard a voice from outside: “Beef!”
Beef?
Before Allyce could be surprised, a lithe figure leapt at her.
“Owwww … owwww …”
Allyce lunged at the hairy figure and took a few steps back before stopping dead in her tracks.
Allyce looked at the body that had pounced on her and it was clearly an adult Border Collie, thought about the voice she had just heard and spoke timidly: “Beef?
The medium-sized, shaggy dog whined again at the sound of her voice, rubbing his head against Allyce’s and making lots of “woo-ah-ah” noises.
It sounded like he was pouting, but it also sounded like he was being aggressive.
Allyce’s heart moved, she reached out and rubbed Beef’s head, in a soft voice: “You’ve grown so much that you still like to pout.
Back then he asked Severo to give him a dog, but he never thought that today, he really felt that a dog was more durable than a human.
Beef rubbed against her for a moment, sniffed loudly and barked twice, as if he disliked the smell of her alcohol.
“Do you dislike me?” Allyce grabbed his head in disgust.
At that moment, a familiar male voice came from the other end of the corridor, “Are you lost in here?”
