Chapter 284: Exploring
Severo’s grip on her hand loosened slightly and Allyce was about to shake her off when she heard Severo whisper words: “I’m sorry”.
Allyce’s face changed and froze.
The next moment, Severo was hugging her and running out of the cafeteria.
By the time Allyce came to her senses, she had been dragged by Severo into an unoccupied corner before he let go of her hand.
Allyce looked at Severo, who was in her way, with a glint of patience in her eyes: “What are you going to do?
Severo looked at her with a somewhat sullen look for a moment, then suddenly softened his tone with a touch of pleading: “Go home, don’t get angry again.
Almost immediately, Allyce’s heart also softened a little.
“Forget the past, we have a future,” Severo said, reaching out to cover his hand.
Allyce avoided it with a slight lateral movement.
With a grimace, he said, “No”.
In his mind, the lost child was only “in the past”.
But in her mind, she had not been spared.
Allyce looked coldly at Severo’s sudden change of face, raised her head slightly and walked away.
“Allyce!”
Severo called out to her: “Enough”.
Allyce turned around with a broad smile: “Yes, a divorce will solve everything”.
It wasn’t until Allyce walked away that Severo slammed his fist against the wall.
Blood seeped through his skin, and he didn’t even raise his eyes as if he couldn’t feel the pain.
He didn’t know how long it was before his phone rang and he fluttered his eyelids, picking up the phone with an expressionless face.
It was Xabat, who reminded him of his original schedule for the day.
Xabat spoke half-heartedly on the other end of the line, waiting for Severo’s response.
As a result, Severo was heard to say: “Check again”.
Xabat quickly understood what Severo meant.
He thought for a moment and said, “Boss, this was tested then, and again a few days ago, and the results were the same …”
“Beep …”
The phone hung up.
Xabat took a deep breath, so let’s check again.
…
Monday.
Allyce arrived early for work.
“Director Delahoz, good morning”.
Ester came in with her coffee.
“Good morning.” Allyce didn’t look up, just listened to the sound of her coffee cup and said, “Thank you”.
Ester did not leave immediately after dropping off her coffee.
“Anything else?” Allyce looked up and saw Esther standing there with a hesitant look on her face.
Ester spoke carefully: “I would like to take two hours off later …”.
Allyce asked him: “What are you going to do?
Esther had a torn expression on her face, “I …”.
Seeing her like this, Allyce thought there was something she didn’t feel comfortable talking about, and thinking that Esther is usually pretty good, she nodded and said, “Go ahead, be back in time.”
“Thank you, Superintendent Delahoz,” said Ester with a happy face and headed for the exit.
Allyce shook her head and continued with the work at hand.
…
In Ester’s absence, she had to do things like pour water and make coffee herself.
Allyce finished her coffee and went to get a glass of water.
When he reached the pantry door, he heard a conversation coming from inside.
“Izar’s film launch, I’d love to go!”
“Forget it, it’s not like I can take time off work.”
“But I heard that our company has just released a big production film this year, and by all accounts, they’ve hired Itzal as the lead!”
Allyce heard this and went inside.
“Director Delahoz.
In the pantry, the two girls, who had just been talking, saw Allyce enter and hurriedly shushed her.
They took the water and set off.
Coolly, Allyce shouted, “Did they just say that Izar’s film release … is back in the country?”
“Uh, yes …” the girl nodded hurriedly, thinking in her mind that Principal Delahoz was also handsome, just a bit cooler looking.
Unlike Izar, who was also pretty, but felt very gentle …
“Hmm.” Allyce nodded, implying that she knew.
“So, Superintendent Delahoz, we’ll go first.”
“Go ahead.
Allyce didn’t look back, her eyes rested only on the spout of the water dispenser, but if anyone had looked closely, they would have noticed her grip on the water glass tightened to death.
Izar, back?
…
Back at the office, Allyce Googled Izar anyway.
He was indeed back in the country.
Izar has been filming for the past two years, mostly in foreign countries, and his return to China to promote his new film was a bit of a surprise for his fans.
Allyce scrolled the mouse and finally stopped on a close-up photo of Izar smiling.
Whether it was two years ago or two years later, Allyce couldn’t deny that Izar was thrilled, human.
It was understandable that Severo had suddenly woken up and committed himself to Izar.
Isn’t that what men do …?
It’s just that now Severo is bothering her, acting as if she’s not going to get divorced, what is that?
“With a click, the computer shut down.
Just then, the door was pushed open from the outside.
Allyce looked up and saw the person she had just looked up on the Internet appear in the doorway.
Izar was wearing the same clothes he had seen on the internet and had obviously come in a hurry.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
His face changed slightly at the sight of Allyce, and then he gave a soft smile, “I hear Lunar Culture has a new CEO, I didn’t expect it to be an old friend.
Izar closed the door, took a graceful step and approached Allyce, looking down on her.
Allyce didn’t like the feeling, and merely slid back slightly in her chair, her eyes cold, “Did I give you permission to come in?”
Izar remembered the last time he had seen Allyce, seeing how devastated she looked, thinking she would be miserable, but to his surprise, she was getting better and better.
And, she was as smug as ever.
He had also heard the news that Allyce was back, before leaving before the launch was over.
I just wanted to see what the Allyce I had counted on then would be like now.
Izar quickly returned to his normal demeanour, with the same smile: “Miss Delahoz is still so straightforward! Looks like she’s had two good years.
Allyce’s stomach churned just thinking that this was the woman Severo was married to, doing intimate things, and looking at her once again.
“It’s none of your business whether I had a good time or not”.
“Don’t be so cold, I don’t have many friends in the camp, we’ve known each other for a long time and we haven’t seen each other for two years, we should at least catch up.” Izar was oblivious to Allyce’s coldness.
Allyce scoffed, “I didn’t expect you to have that hobby, you like chatting with your fiancé’s ex-wife, do you want to discuss with me the positions she likes?”
