Seven years and reunited again, the first words spoken were, “It’s been a long time.


    Severus Laris looked at the girl before him, with dark, troubled eyes, and was silent for a long time, repressing the welter of thoughts in his heart.


    Finally, calmly, he asked, “Have you had a good time these past seven years?”


    Pa Rouco smiled slightly, beaming, “Does Mr. ito Severo wish me well, or not?”


    She has grown up and has a bit of feminine charm in her manner.


    An unkempt tousle, an asional backward nce, a smile, and innocence and charm.


    This Pa Rouco is too dazzling.


    The interested looks she received from the men around her were enough to prove how popr she was, but she didn’t know it.


    But it is this ignorance of beauty that makes men want to conquer even more.


    The lump in Severo Laris’ throat slipped and his eyes regarded her with a deep gaze as he said, “I hope you are well.”


    “Is Miss Severo for peace of mind?”


    Pa Rouco avoided looking at him and picked up a ss of champagne and took a sip, trying to calm herself.


    Have some champagne and maybe be a little more daring.


    Severo Laris frowned slightly, “You can drink already?”.


    Pa Rouco heard him and said amused, “I’m not a child anymore, isn’t it normal to know how to drink?”.


    She clearly didn’t like to hear that answer.


    Not long after, Vzquez Moral approached.


    Pa Rouco tried to slip away and asked, “Do we have to y the piano in the back?”


    Vzquez Moral knew she wanted to duck out; after all, there wasn’t much point to this kind of benefit dinner, a big social gathering.


    “It’s written in the contract that you have to y only one song. If you’re tired, go home and rest first.”


    Pa Rouco put down the champagne in her hand, nodded, just ignored Severo Laris and said to Vzquez Moral, “I’m going, then.”


    Vzquez Moral froze at the sight of Severo Laris, “This … are you Professor Laris of the MO Group?”


    Severo Laris nodded slightly and said, “That’s right.”


    Pa Rouco slung her chain purse over her shoulder with her opposite hand and turned to leave with aplomb.


    But therge, slender hand of the man behind her suddenly grabbed her silky, delicate wrist.


    Pa Rouco frowned and looked back at him, “What else does Miss Severo have to say?”


    Severo Laris is more who has everything under control than she is, impatient and anxious to escape.


    He wasn’t annoyed or angry, his eyes were deep as he looked at her and said in a serious manner, “You just drank, you can’t drink and drive.


    “… I’ll get a chauffeur, no need for Miss Severo to worry about it”.


    Pa Rouco tore her wrist from his palm and left the premises stomping her feet, walking as fast as if she was in a hurry to be reincarnated.


    Severo Laris was in no hurry and, after a polite “excuse me” to Vzquez Moral, followed Pa Rouco out of the venue.


    The Holy City is in the middle of summer, but the nights are windy and a bit chilly, and Pa Rouco had ayer of chestnuts on her arms as soon as she left the banquet hall.


    Suddenly, there was a slumping of the shoulders, a man’s jacket with body heat.


    Pa Rouco frowned and met Severo Laris’ dark gaze.


    She struggled to take it off and was restrained by arge,rge, well boned, good looking male hand on her shoulder.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    The bullying, unabated for seven years now.


    Pa Rouco tickled her red lips and said, “Miss Severo… no, should I call you now …. Professor Laris? Professor Laris, the two of us, we don’t seem to know each other that well now.”


    The implication is that you shouldn’t give a zer to a woman you don’t know well.


    Severus Laris stood behind her with a hand in his pocket and his long jade form, his eyes downcast and insouciant, “There’s no hurry, we can take our time getting to know each other.”


    A low, maic voice, full of warmth and unhurried, like a perfect flirt.


    Soon he will meet the man he is now.


    Pa Rouco: “…”


    This man!


    She hurried to move away, but was held by the man’s hand.


    Severo Laris took her by the hand and walked through the night, his voice clear, “You’ve been drinking, you can’t drink and drive, I’ll take you home.”


    “… I can get a driver.”


    Severo Laris released her, without insisting, hands in the pockets of his suit pants, with a slight smile in his eyes, “You can try to get a driver now.”


    Inexplicably, Pa Rouco’s good nature was awakened and she turned to the door with a cold face.


    Strange, the entrance to the Oasis House, which should be everywhere at this point in the day.


    Pa Rouco asked the doorman, “Maestro, are there any more valet parking arrangements now?”


    The doorman said, “I’m sorry, Miss, the valet parking at our hotel, at this time, is allmandeered.”


    “…” What a stroke of luck.


    “All of them? Not a single one left?”


    The doorman said, “That’s right, miss you can wait if you’re not in a hurry.”


    “How long to wait.”


    “Two hours at least.”


    Pa Rouco: “…”


    A few minutester, Severo Laris was a short distance away, watching the defeated little thing returning.


    Step up to him.


    Severo Laris looked at her warmly with lowered eyes, “Lawyers never lie.”


    “… You’re a businessman now.”


    Severo Laris: “Businessman pluswyer.”


    Pa Rouco: “So much the more obnoxious.”


    Severo Laris saw her hold her breath and her eyebrows haloed with affection, “Come on, may the abomination take you home.”


    “…” How did he get to be so shameless.


    Pa Rouco thinks she can speak well, but she will always lose to Severo Laris, who forcefully demonstrates that he is awyer by training.


    I couldn’t say no to him.


    Pa Rouco walks briskly toward the parking lot, Severo Laris follows her leisurely, not wanting to have anything to do with her.


    He wanted to give her enough time to get used to it.


    Seven years and so much emptiness between them.


    Severo Laris walks behind her and realizes that seven years ago her eyes were chasing him the same way, following him, only he was moving too fast and too hard for her not to notice even if shegged behind.


    The hand in the pocket of his suit pants tensed a little.


    When they reached the parking lot, Pa Rouco, without any pretense, pulled the back door of the ck Bentley and climbed in.


    As a result, the man’srge hand stopped her movements and he tossed out a nonchnt, “Go sit in the front, I’m not your driver.”


    “…”


    Pa Rouco gave him a vicious look and mentally exploded with a bunch of foul words.


    Now that you’ve be a big shot, you have a title followed by a boss.


    He opened the copilot’s door and got in, then mmed it shut to show his displeasure.


    Severo Laris, not at all upset, stood outside the car, staring at the door that had mmed shut, his thin lips slightly curved.


    Severo Laris sat down in the car and leaned back suddenly.


    Pa Rouco stiffened, her hands immediately defending herself from his approaching chest, looking at him defensively, wolf-proof, “What are you doing?”


    He stepped closer to her.


    The girl’s long, thick eyshes were like a small fan, fluttering and blinking very fast due to her nervousness.


    It seemed like it would be good to tease her.


    “Severo Laris, I’m warning you!”


    “Warn me of what?” the man asked.


    “We broke up seven years ago, you…”


    Severo Laris’ long, slender arm reached over, tugged on the seat belt and buckled it with a series of smooth movements.


    “…” Damn shame.


    After buckling his seat belt, Severo Laris looked into her ck and white eyes, “What did you think I was going to do?”


    “…” she ground her teeth.
