Chapter 282: Do you still have the nerve to call me?
In the afternoon, Allyce went to the supermarket to buy some household items and ingredients.
He put the groceries in the car, and had barely sat down in it when he saw a familiar figure pass in front of him.
Allyce pressed hard on the steering wheel.
It was no one else but Lucila, who had walked past the car.
He had not contacted Lucila after she left, but had sent her an email.
It had been an emergency and I hadn’t had time to think about it too much.
Lucila … must have blamed her.
Allyce sat in the car for a while before driving slowly again.
When she got home, she put her things in order before taking out her phone and pressing Lucila’s number.
He remembered Lucila’s number.
It was better for her to contact Lucila than for Lucila to meet her out of the blue.
The call was quickly answered.
“Hello, who is it?” There was a hint of confusion in Lucila’s voice.
Allyce could hear the other end of the phone ringing with the sound of merchandise for sale.
It should still be in the supermarket.
Although he had thought of an opening statement earlier, he did not know how to say it when it came to his lips.
There was a long silence from Lucila before she suddenly said: “Allyce?
“Yes, it’s me.
Allyce let out a long sigh and rubbed her fingers together nervously. “I’m back, if you have time, can I take you out to dinner?
“Huh”.
Lucila scoffed: “You have the nerve to call me!
“…” Allyce felt she had no face.
“Hmph!”
Lucila growled coldly and hung up the phone.
Allyce knew Lucila had been kind and was about to stop again to say a few more kind words when Lucila’s call came back.
He gave the name of a supermarket and said: “Come and find me if you want to buy me dinner”.
With that, he hung up the phone with a click.
Allyce looked at the phone and laughed quietly.
…
When Allyce parked her car in front of the supermarket, she saw Lucila standing in front of it.
He hurried out of the car and greeted Lucila: “Lucila!
Lucila looked towards her and seemed to glare at her before walking towards her.
“After two years of hiding from the world, I thought you were going to become a good person, but now I see that you’re really going to be skinny and white!”
Lucila’s concern for Allyce was revealed in her slightly furrowed brow, even though she was making a facetious comment.
Allyce smiled and took the things in her hand and put them in the boot, then opened the door and made an inviting gesture: “Miss Lucila, please come in.
Lucila sat down, looked at the car logo and grimaced before getting in.
Allyce entered from the other side.
Just as he started the car, he heard Lucila say: “A Porsche Paramera, that must cost one or two million.
Allyce glanced sideways and saw Lucila playing here and there.
He smiled and said: “Well, something like that”.
“You’ve been doing something shady for the last two years to be so rich”.
Lucila put her arms around her, a scrutinising look in her eyes.
Allyce blushed.
I hadn’t thought to tell Lucila what had happened then.
After all, it was all in the past and it had not been a happy occasion.
“Lucila, I’m sorry I left so abruptly then, but it won’t happen again”.
In the future, she and Severo would divorce and help Desiderio run the company properly, and everything would be fine.
Only that the thought of divorcing Severo was obstructing her heart.
…
The restaurant Allyce takes Lucila to is newly opened.
I had heard staff mention it at work and was keeping an eye out for it.
The restaurant was pleasant and both were in a better mood.
Lucila did not ask any more questions about what had really happened then, but limited herself to asking about Allyce’s situation over the past two years.
“The first year he went abroad to continue his studies, and the second year he followed my uncle to learn business”. Allyce summed up the two years in one sentence.
Lucila looked at her blankly, “You look like you’ve had two full years”.
“Yes.” Allyce paused and added, “I’ve just been thinking about you a lot …”.
He stopped at the end of the word “you”.
At Allyce’s words, Lucila’s face softened slightly.
Even after two years, they still had a lot to talk about.
It had all been very pleasant.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
But then, when it was time to pay, there was another acquaintance.
Or an acquaintance with whom Allyce could not be pleasant.
“Allyce!”
Enzo’s face glowed with surprise at the sight of Allyce and he lifted his feet towards her. “Where have you been for the last two years, do you know if I …”
“I don’t know and I don’t want to know, Mr Aybar, please behave yourself”.
Allyce looked at him with a look of circumstance and took two steps back.
There was a cold aloofness in his demeanour.
She would never forget that it had all started because Enzo had tricked her into going out.
Seeing her like that, Enzo stopped approaching and said, “Are you still angry about what happened then?”
“Shut up!”
Allyce stopped him cold, her aura of intensity radiating from her body.
Enzo was so surprised by her aura that he forgot to speak.
I wonder if he had been living comfortably for the last two years and had put on some weight.
Although he still had the aura of a rich boy, he did not have the same aura as before, standing in the crowd, he looked unusually vulgar.
Allyce looked him up and down before pulling Lucila away.
“Allyce!”
Enzo called out to her, but all Allyce left him with was a determined back.
At that moment, Senona came out from behind her: “Is the bill ready? Let’s go.
He said, reaching for Enzo’s arm.
Enzo brushed his hand away with a look of disgust and left without saying a word.
“Enzo.
Senona hurried to follow him, a little puzzled.
For the past two years, Allyce had disappeared into thin air, going nowhere, and had relied on her own efforts to get Enzo to finally trust her in some way.
Obviously, things had improved, so why all of a sudden I was …
…
As tomorrow was the weekend, Allyce took Lucila straight to her flat.
The two had just arrived at the entrance to the neighbourhood when they saw Xabat.
Xabat seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
“Miss Delahoz, Lucila,” said Xabat, who saw them and approached them directly.
“Xabat, what are you doing here? …”
Lucila asked aloud, only to realise she had asked a stupid question.
He turned his head to look at Allyce, with slightly mocking eyes.
Xabat smiled and handed Allyce a hand-belt: “This is the dress the boss paid you for”.
For her?
Allyce thought about the jacket that Beef had torn the night before at Kimdis.
“No, I …”
Without waiting for her to finish, Xabat looked at the bag and passed it to Lucila’s hand: “You take it for Miss Delahoz, I have to go back first.
And with that, he left in a huff.
Lucila looked at Allyce a little dumbfounded, shook her bag a little, blinked and asked, “Have you seen Chief Betances, so fierce that his clothes are torn?
