Chapter 303: It is remarkable that the original intention has not been forgotten.
Severo muttered: “A prisoner on the run?
Without waiting for Severo’s order, Xabat already had the information about this fugitive Amado Mejia that he had been given.
He held it in his hand and was silent for a moment before saying, “Boss, this Amado Mejia, a former human trafficker, was later wanted for rape …”.
Xabat’s heart thudded as he uttered those three words.
What the boss hated most was this type of rapist.
Although the boss was not a good person, when he met such people, he took care of them.
Halfway through, he heard Severo’s voice: “Any more information?
“He’s probably in his thirties, 5’8″, can read and write, his hometown is probably in the mountains of the southwest ….”
Without waiting for Xabat to finish, Severo interrupted, “Height of the age place of the family pulls, can’t you even be sure?”
“Because it was years ago, there were a couple of big cases going on around the same time and they were too busy to let Amado Mejia get away, the man was cunning and the IDs he was using at the time were fake ….”
Noticing the change in Severo’s breathing, Xabat could not bring himself to say the words that followed: “The name could also be false.
But Severo didn’t get angry and said in a calm voice: “That’s all for now, you take care of the Cloud Cit part and I’ll give you a holiday when I get back”.
…
After hanging up the phone, Severo decided to go and meet this Amado.
I just couldn’t go alone.
Let Allyce show you the way, right?
That was a good idea.
With that in mind, Severo headed outside.
There was no signal on any of the normal mobile phones here, so I couldn’t call, so I had to talk in person.
He suddenly realised that it was a good thing there was no signal, at least if she wanted to talk to him, she could only do so in person.
He slowly approached Allyce’s door and saw her clutching a laptop and banging on something.
“Knock knock.
He stood in front of the door and reached out to knock twice on the door, which was open inwards.
Allyce raised her head at the sound and looked towards the door.
When she saw that it was Severo, she was stunned for a moment and closed her computer.
Then, in a loud voice, he asked, “Is something wrong?”
“Are you busy?” Severo’s response was incoherent.
Allyce felt a little embarrassed by this unproductive and rusty way of asking.
“Writing a little work note.” said Allyce.
Severo nodded and stood outside the door without entering, asking her from a distance: “If you are not busy, can you show me the school here?
Allyce was put off by the polite tone of his voice.
She was more used to him, to the Severo who spoke to her in commanding tones at every turn.
Startled by her own thoughts, she hastened to say: “Yes, right now, right?
Allyce spoke as she switched off her computer.
…
By the time the two arrived at school, it was almost time for classes to end.
Although children here attend school during the day, they leave early in the afternoon because they have to go back to work for their families.
Poverty and backwardness have made people here relatively backward.
They are reluctant to leave the area and believe that if they work hard, their families will have a good life.
Allyce, a little tired from walking, walked a short distance to the entrance of the school, stood still with her arms folded and pointed inside: “This is it”.
Severo glanced at the so-called “school” and frowned slightly.
He knew that there were many places in the world that were backward, but when he saw them, it was still a shock to his soul.
Allyce looked at him, smiled and said, “I was more surprised to see the school like this for the first time than you were.
“I wasn’t surprised.” Severo looked at her and headed for the classroom door.
Amado was writing a formula on a small blackboard that would make the children solve the problem.
Severo narrowed his eyes slightly, scrutinising.
White shirt, slim body, looks to be in his mid-thirties, 6’2″ tall, with a kind and polite looking face.
Whichever way you looked at it, it had nothing to do with a human trafficker or a rapist.
“That’s the only teacher here, his name is Amado Mejia, I heard he left the mountains when he was a teenager, went off to make a living, came back a few years ago and started teaching the children here to read, rare not to forget his first heart.
Allyce approached him at some point.
Severo sniffed and snorted: “Is it remarkable that the original intention has not been forgotten?
Allyce genuinely thought that someone like Amado Mejia was rare and valuable, while Severo’s mocking tone made her feel a little revolted.
His face couldn’t help but cool: “Severo, what do you mean?
Severo threw two rather playful words at him: “Can you guess?
He didn’t want to say anything, but the one who did want to say something was Amado.
In all his years in the business, he had never misjudged anyone.
Amado Mejia would never be someone who would settle for mediocrity.
Allyce grunted and ignored Severo.
At that moment, it was time to finish classes.
The children rushed towards the door and Severo hurried to take Allyce in his arms.
Allyce avoided the children and did not realise she was in Severo’s arms.
When Amado came out, he looked at Allyce and Severo with surprise, “Miss Delahoz, this is your ….”
Allyce looks back at Severo and realises that she and Severo are almost squeezed together.
He hastened to step back and said to Amado: “This is our investor, our co-worker, surnamed Betances.
Amado sniffed and said kindly: “Mr. Betances”.
Severo stood still and cupped his hands in the pockets of his suit trousers in a casual, “Hello” manner.
The expression on Amado’s face stiffened for a moment.
He turned his head to look at Allyce: “Miss Delahoz, is there anything you are doing here today?
Allyce shook her head and said, “Nothing, I just came to see, we have to get back now too, you’ve had a hard day at school, come back”.
Amado snorted and just nodded his head, as if he wanted to say something else, and then he saw Severo standing there with an expressionless face that shocked him a little.
Before leaving, he cast one more glance at Severo.
This look was seen not only by Severo himself, but also by Allyce.Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
She had always felt something strange about Amado.
It was not the first time he had felt this way.
And because of what had happened last night, she had felt a little uneasy.
He thought about it, looked at Severo and called him: “Severo”.
“What?” Severus gave her a sidelong glance with a serious look, as he always did countless times when she looked at him in a way that made her trust him for no reason.
He bit his lip and said: “Actually … I think this professor Mejía is a bit strange”.
