Xabat approached with a look of helplessness on his face.


    “Boss, it’s me.


    Severo looked on with a scattered gaze.All text ? N?velD(r)a''ma.Org.


    It took him a couple of seconds to refocus his eyes and see that the person in front of him was indeed Xabat before he withdrew his gaze.


    Severo lowered his head and reached for the cigarette case on the table in front of him, asking aloud: “Is something wrong?


    When he turned the carton over, he found it empty, as well as the other carton.


    Without getting angry, he looked at Xabat: “Cigarettes”.


    Xabat hesitated when he saw that Severo’s look was sombre and that he was obviously in a very bad mood.


    He did not dare to make Severo angry, so he could only take out the cigarettes he was carrying and give them to Severo.


    As he handed the cigarettes to Severo, he spoke: “Boss, the doctor has said that you should cut down on smoking and alcohol, the best thing is to stop, now it’s …”.


    Severo lit a cigarette and took a puff, his voice a little muffled: “Come out if you’re OK.


    Severoy backzily, his ck suit crumpled, his whole body looking a little dishevelled, but when he opened his mouth to give orders, he still made Xabat dare not disobey.


    Xabat had no choice but to leave.


    He looked at thepartment door again with trepidation, feeling that he couldn’t let Severo go on like this.


    Not to mention the number of things thepany needed him to attend to, and if he kept it up, his own body would crawl as well.


    Xabat thought for a moment and called Luc.


    Luc was packing up her things, as she was about to leave work.


    When she saw that it was Xabat on the phone, she spoke in confusion: “Xabat?


    “Yes, it’s me, are you busy?”


    “Getting ready to leave work, what can I do for you?” Xabat didn’t usually call her, and to call her specifically, it had to be something.


    “Just …”, Xabat scratched his hair with some annoyance and spoke bluntly: “Can you give me Miss Dhoz’s telephone number?


    As soon as she heard him ask for Allyce’s number, Luc was immediately on alert.


    “What do you want?” He didn’t believe that Xabat would suddenly want to call Allyce’s number, perhaps at Severo’s behest.


    Severo already had a fiancée and was bothering Allyce, which was annoying!


    Xabat spoke with deliberation and said: “I am looking for Miss Dhoz on a personal matter.


    Severo’s voice was the first to burst into his ears: “What personal business do you have with her?


    He looked back and saw Severo standing two paces away from him.


    Xabat’s face paled.


    But Severo didn’t give him a chance to exin himself and walked over to him and took the phone out of his hand.


    Just in time to hear Luc say: “Personal business? What could you possibly want with her? Don’t lie, does it have something to do with your boss? I’m not giving you his phone number because your boss is an asshole who has his own fiancée and keeps bothering Allyce, the nice one …”


    Severo heard this and suddenly blurted out: “You idiot?


    Luc sniffed, froze and said: “Xabat, why have you suddenly changed your voice, you sound like your boss …”.


    Severo narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke quietly: “I am Severo.


    “…” Luc suspected that her ears were sick.


    But by virtue of these two years, after working as Neto’s secretary and being constantly bullied by him, she had learned to be calm.


    She reacted quickly, in an unusually calm voice: “What did you say? I can’t hear you, there’s a signal failure here, I’m hanging up now, ah, I’ll talk to you another time”.


    When she hung up the phone, Luc’s calm instantly crumbled.


    What to do? It was Severo who answered the phone.


    He had heard everything she had said!


    Even if he was Xabat, he couldn’t talk about Severo like that in front of him.


    Neto entered at some point, leaning against the doorframe, watching Luc walk anxiously, biting her fingers.


    It wasn’t until he got tired of looking at it that he said: “Howe I didn’t know thepany’s signal was out of service?


    “Don’t talk to me, I could be dying”.


    Not only had he called Chief Betances an imbecile, but Severo himself had heard it.


    What to do?


    “How did you end up leakingpany secrets?” Neto was not amused.


    In reality, Luc was very serious when she worked, but in everyday life she was very careless most of the time.


    Luc thought about it, but turned her head to Neto: “Did you ever scold Boss Betances?


    Neto was smart enough to ask him directly: “Did you tell him off?


    “No … more or less, I called him an asshole …” Luc smiled awkwardly.


    Nor did he mean it.


    “You are very brave, call me a few nice words of ttery and maybe I can protect you. Neto smiled mockingly.


    Luc gave him a nk stare: “Protect me? Wait until you’re dead.


    Neto was not angry, but interested, and asked him: “What makes you think Severo is a bastard?


    “Back then, when he and Izar were on the air, I called Allyce and then he answered me, and after that, Allyce didn’t call me back, so he must not have told Allyce that I had called, and then it came out that he and Izar were engaged, and I couldn’t contact Allyce, and Allyce disappeared for two years.”


    Luc bristled: “At the time he said it was something between him and Allyce and that he didn’t want me to care. I think he was afraid I would say something to Allyce. Covering up that he was on the air with another woman while he was engaged to another woman, That’s why Allyce disappeared for two years!”


    Neto listened to her, and his expression sank for a rare moment.


    A momentter, he said: “At that time, Severo’s grandfather was seriously ill and he and Izar …”.


    “Izar and Severo were your friends, surely you wouldn’t think they were to me! Does Allyce deserve to be kept in the dark about what cannot be made clear? Besides, a man like Severo, how can anyone force him topromise if he himself won’tpromise! I’m sure you know better than I do”.


    Luc finished, before she felt she had said too much.


    I should not, it seems, be angry with Neto.


    Although she did not normally get angry with Neto no matter how much he fought and joked, she could still see the difference between him and her.


    “I’m sorry, I’m just aggravated by Allyce”.


    Luc said, picked up her bag and left with the words “I’ll be back first” and walked out.


    Neto stood alone in the office, rubbing his forehead and sulking.


    He didn’t know why he felt so miserable.


    It was just between Severo and Allyce, but now he was involved.


    You women are so unreasonable!
