Chapter 666: The One Whom the Heart Misses
Allyce came down from the stage and caught a glimpse of Neto and Lucila.
She took Alonzo from the maid and approached the two men, “I’ll have to trouble you to look after Alonzo, I don’t feel comfortable with anyone else”.
As a hostess, she naturally had to deal with these people, and it would not be convenient to take Alonzo with her.
Now that Severo is not in the country, he has to be careful about everything.
“Good.” Lucila nodded immediately.
Allyce smiled back, casually took a glass of wine from the waiter’s tray and turned to leave.
She walks slowly, with the dignity of a lady of the world.
Lucila looks at her for a moment, then turns her head and sees Neto lifting Alonzo up and sitting him in a chair.
He then took a seat in front of Alonzo and fed him fruit.
Lucila nudged him and whispered, “Do you think Allyce seems to have come back from a trip to J with a better aura?
Neto lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, popping a piece of fruit into his mouth before slowly saying, “Isn’t that normal …”.
Suddenly, he paused in his tone and looked at Lucila, his eyes sweeping up and down her body before he pointed his finger.
Lucila approached with a puzzled look on her face: “What?
As soon as she approached, Neto put a hand on her shoulder and said half jokingly, half seriously: “Although you look a little worse than she does, if you marry into a good family, you can hardly cultivate something like temperament”.
Lucila smiled mischievously, “A good family man?
Neto nodded and said with a couple of dry coughs: “Like me”.
“Huh.” Lucila gave him a blank stare and turned away, “I’m going to the bathroom.”
Neto shouted from behind him: “Hey!
Lucila walked faster, reached up and touched her face, it was hot.
What kind of person makes a face like that?
Marrying Neto? That’s something I hadn’t really thought about.
It is not that he has no expectations, but because he is too aware of the disparity between them, he does not dare to think about it for the time being.
We can only take one step at a time.
Lucila went into the bathroom, unscrewed the tap and splashed the cold water on her face.
When she looked up again, she realised that her face was a mess and had to open her bag and take out the powder to touch up her make-up.
Just as he dusted himself off, he saw someone else’s face in the mirror.
His eyes widened and he turned his head to stare in disbelief at the person in front of him: “You …”.
…
“Ms. Betances has such good skin that she doesn’t look like a woman who has given birth, like a child”.
“Yes, Mrs. How Betances tends to take care of himself …”
“…”
When women kiss a woman’s bottom, they naturally start with clothes and appearance.
After a round of greetings, Allyce got tired of listening to this kind of talk.
Like a little girl?
She is not even twenty-five years old, how come she is no longer a child?
He struggled to find a space to sit down and take a break. He asked the waiter for a glass of water and, before he could drink it, he received a call from Lucila.
As soon as the call was answered, she heard Lucila’s urgent voice: “Allyce, there’s a problem with my dress, come help me in the bathroom”.
“What’s wrong?” Allyce spoke as she set aside the glass of water in her hand and stood up to head to the bathroom.
Hanging up the phone, he looked around and did not see Neto or Alonzo.
Norberto noticed Allyce hurrying out the door, approached her and asked, “Ma’am? What happened?”
Allyce paused, not forgetting to give him instructions: “One little thing, keep an eye on this side, someone make sure nothing happens”.
Although there is no one more powerful than Severo in Cloud Cit now, it is better to be careful.
Norberto nodded, and Allyce felt comfortable with her work.
She took half a step forward, turned her head towards Norberto and said, slightly embarrassed: “Can I have your jacket?
A flash of surprise crossed Norberto’s face, but he said no more and took off his suit jacket and handed it to him.
…
Allyce left the ballroom and the corridor to the bathroom was empty.
He frowned slightly, remembering that Norberto had had bodyguards patrolling the security exits outside the ballroom, why wasn’t anyone there?
Perhaps the patrol was somewhere else at the time.
With a hint of confusion, Allyce took two more steps forward and then stopped abruptly.
Something is wrong!
She was about to turn around and go back to the banquet hall when, unexpectedly, an arm suddenly came out from above her and wrapped around her waist. The next moment, her whole body lightened and she was carried by the owner of the arm over her shoulders.
Allyce’s first reaction was to struggle vigorously, “Help …”.
-Quickly!
Allyce’s body stiffens, this man really hit her …
Shit!
The skirt I wore today was not short, but the fact that it was worn over the shoulders meant that the skirt rode up a bit and I had to cover it with the blazer I was wearing.
With that, he quickly calmed down: “Who are you and what do you want? I am the host of today’s party and this Kimdis is my territory, you won’t be able to get me out of here unscathed!
The man carrying her said nothing, just reached out and snatched the jacket from her hand and pulled her down with it.
The man was so covered up that she didn’t have time to see his face. Allyce struggled to get up to see the man’s face, but when she took a deep breath, she caught his familiar scent.
Doubt was reflected in the white face.
How is it possible …?
Shouldn’t he already be in J? How could he be back in the country?
But I couldn’t be wrong!
In the time it took her to blink, the man was already leading her into the safe corridor and up the stairs.
On the floor above the ballroom were the guest rooms, and when the man pulled her out of the stairwell, he opened the door to a room and pulled her inside.
From the time he was carried on the man’s shoulders until he entered the room, it was only a matter of minutes.
As soon as she entered the room, the man set her down on the floor, not even bothering to turn on the light, and pressed her against the back of the door, his whole body pressing against her, one hand wrapped tightly around her waist, the other holding her head thoughtfully, and kissed her.This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
There were no lights on in the room, the curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows were not drawn and a thin light came through them, the man was backlit and Allyce could not see his face.
But, the familiarity of the smell told her that the man in front of her was the one she longed for in her heart.
