Chapter 38: You’re on your period and can’t drink cold beverages
Severo casually tossed his folder on the desk.
Then he walked around his desk to his side.
She takes off her jacket and places it on the back of his chair. He leans forward behind her, his tall body almost enveloping her so that her head is right next to his.
She turned to look at Allyce and said sweetly in her cadenced voice, “Why didn’t you say you were coming? What if I wasn’t in the office?”
“I… Just… passing…”
Allyce stammered. They were close enough that Allyce could feel the warmth of his body on her and felt a little disturbed.
“Oh, just passing through? Going somewhere?” Severo lowered his voice, his tone a little overbearing.
Allyce’s face turned red again.
He just wanted to see if Severo was in the office. Now Severo was asking him as if he had come to see him specifically.
Allyce turned her red face to him and said coldly: “I said I was just passing by!
However, when he turned his head, he found Severo’s face just inches from his own; close enough to count his eyelashes.
Allyce blinked, unsure how to handle the situation.
Severo’s deep eyes rested on her red lips. Seeming to lose touch with reality and concentrating only on her lips, his eyes darkened.
He leaned forward slightly, tilting his head slightly. Just as their lips were about to touch, the door suddenly opened.
“Hey Severo you …”
Neto walked in and looked at the papers in his hands. He looked at the scene before him and froze. He stifled a laugh, cleared his throat and continued: “… I forgot to sign an important contract”.
Allyce’s face burned with shame and anger. She wanted to punch Severo in the face, but she couldn’t in front of Neto.
He looked at Neto awkwardly, “Mr. Pastrano, things are not what they seem …”
“Oh, I know, I know, Mrs. Betances. No need to explain,” Neto interrupted, nodding and winking at her.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
The man really was…
Allyce wanted to crawl into a small black hole and die there.
However, Severo, who was now at his side, asked Neto in a scathing way: “If you know, why didn’t you leave?
Neto shook his head and said dramatically, “I’m not only your boss, I’m also your close friend. Should I be insulted like this by a girl?”
Severo gave him a cold, merciless look: “It is my wife who has agreed to share her life with me, not you.
Neto came out to thrill.
Allyce did not react at all. She just sat there staring at the heavy wooden door that had just closed.
Indeed, Neto was Severo’s boss and his best friend. Judging by the way they spoke, they were probably closer than the brothers.
“He’s gone. What are you still looking at?”
Severo’s voice reached her ear. Allyce, who had been sitting stiffly, suddenly stood up to leave and said in a nervous voice: “I was just passing by. I have somewhere to be. I’m going.
With that, he started walking towards the door.
However, Severo was quicker.
He stretched out his arms and hugged her again.
Severus wrapped his arms around her back and sat down in his chair, pulling her with him. allyce was surprised and fell into his lap, his arms around her.
Such an intimate position made Allyce even more nervous. Her first reaction was to struggle to get up.
However, Severo did not let her go.
He hugged her tightly. In a voice as melodious as running water, but at the same time deep and commanding, he whispered in her ear: “Don’t move! Don’t move. Move again and I’ll have you tied up for me”.
“Huh?” Allyce gave him a dumbfounded look, “What?”
Severus was glad to see her like this, his arm around her waist loosened gently and he lifted his other hand to her hair, playing with it.
Her palm gently touched his bandage and her voice was a little reproachful as she said, “You haven’t come back from your injuries. Where are you running off to?”
“I have somewhere to be. Hearing his soft voice made Allyce relax a little. She stopped struggling, but she was still a little nervous.
Severo, seemingly oblivious to his discomfort, touched his forehead to his temple and asked: “Where to?
“A ….”
Allyce was about to respond when she suddenly stopped.
Swallowing the answer, he asked instead: “You’ve been in the office all morning, haven’t you been out?
Severo’s eyes darkened, but his voice remained as gentle as ever as he replied, “Of course. Why, are you worried about me dating another woman?”
Allyce’s solemn expression turned instantly to annoyance as she said coldly, “No.” She was not.
“Hmm.” Severo suddenly gave her a quick peck on the cheek, as if to praise her.” Let’s say I’m right. If you’re really worried about it, you can watch me twenty-four hours a day. I won’t find you annoying.
Allyce got a little angry, “What are you talking about, when did I say I wanted to know where you were all the time?”
“When a woman says no, what she really means is yes”.
“Who the hell said that?”
“Neto!”
“…” You just misinterpreted Neto. Decent and professional? Ha! He was just a playboy with no mental capacity to understand a woman’s mind.
After Severo had shamelessly mocked her for a long time, Allyce finally broke free from his arms.
She ran to the sofa and sat down, away from him.
Severo did not stop her. When he saw the coffee on the table, he frowned, pressed the button on the table and said to his secretary: “Send a cup of tea with milk. Hot.
“I want iced tea with milk. In summer, Allyce didn’t want anything hot.
Severo raised an eyebrow, but ignored it.
Allyce blurted out: “Severo, are you listening to me? I don’t want hot milk tea. I want iced milk tea with lots of ice.
Why did he order it for her without asking her? She wasn’t even drinking it!
Severo didn’t even look at her as he answered. He looked at the paper in front of him and spat out a few cold words: “You are on your period, so you can’t have cold drinks.
He paused as he turned the page and then said, “Especially on the first day”.
Allyce was stunned in her seat – how could Severo possibly know!
“You … Pervert!” Allyce barely had words to describe Severo.
I have never seen anyone so brazen.
No matter what the subject, no matter how embarrassing, he just talked nonchalantly as if nothing was bothering him.
At that moment, his secretary knocked on the door and came in with a tea and milk. She kindly offered it to Allyce: “Mrs. Betances, please take the tea with milk.
When the secretary left, Allyce finally realised that everyone in the company called her Mrs. Betances.
“Everyone calls me Mrs. Betances”.
“Aha.
“Are you listening to what I’m saying? They call me …”
“My last name is Betances. So of course they call you Mrs. Betances. Severo still didn’t look up at her.
Although she had grown more fond of Severo after what had happened the night before, the fact that someone in her company called her Mrs. Betances made her a little inexplicably worried about Severo’s attitude.
