Chapter 696: Spying in secret
A few days have passed since Marco helped her at the door that night in Kimdis, and they haven’t seen him since.
And I wonder why Marco’s sudden visit to her.
As they had already seen her, she had to approach them.
“Can I help you?” Allyce walked up to him and tugged on his collar.
It was a bit windy today.
He lifted his wrist and looked at the time before saying: “Haven’t you eaten at this hour?
Allyce saw that there were a lot of people coming and going and that it wasn’t good for the two of them to keep standing in the doorway, so she simply spoke up and said, “No, let’s eat together”.
It saves a lot of time when you can talk about anything while eating.
Marco would not have gone to her if he had nothing to do.
The two men found a restaurant and sat down.
Allyce didn’t bother to be polite to Marco, and handed him the menu immediately after ordering what he wanted to eat.
As soon as he finished ordering and put down the menu, he heard Allyce ask him again: “What can I do for you?
From the moment they met in front of the LK Group until they sat down in the restaurant, she said no more than ten words, two of which were “What’s up?
Couldn’t I find it if I had nothing to do?
That said, it is true that they both had a hard time last time, and it is also true that he had no reason to look for her when he was well.
And her increasingly dismissive attitude towards him reinforced some of the thoughts he had in his mind, which was why he had come to see Allyce today.
“Am I still a partner now?” Marco’s tone was calm as he said this, staring at Allyce.
Allyce thought for a moment and said, “Sort of”.
“Since you still consider me a partner, isn’t there something that you should clearly hand over?” At Marco’s words, he was handed a photograph.
Allyce glanced at him and held up the photo without much concern.
The background is blurred and faint, and the two familiar figures are only seen in silhouette.
Allyce’s good-looking, peach-blossomed eyes narrowed imperceptibly and she looked at the photo seriously again before putting it back down.
“If Neto has something to say, he’d better say it directly”.
He looked at Marco with a frank look, as if he didn’t really know anything.
Marco’s face was slightly cold and he was about to speak when a waiter came over to serve the food.
He had to stifle the words that were once again on his lips.
Only when the waiter had gone did he lower his voice and say: “Let’s be frank, is that Severo up there?
I think it was the other day, when Severo went out with her, that it broke.
“I didn’t think you had the potential to be a journalist.” Allyce smiled and did not respond positively to his question, all seemed calm.
Marco frowned, one of the reasons he didn’t like dealing with women was that they were too fond of beating around the bush and could make up all sorts of excuses and reasons for one thing and then wind people up.
He resented this about women.
He decided to open up: “Severo is alive and has approached you, why didn’t you tell me?”
“Even if I didn’t tell you, wouldn’t you know?” asked Allyce, matter-of-factly.
Marco’s face didn’t look so good when he choked.
“What do you mean by that?” His face had sunk, a clear sign that his patience was wearing thin.
Allyce also picked up her expression and said with a serious face, “Neto, at first I agreed to cooperate with you and tell you everything I know, that is my trust in your ability, but after so long, you have not found anything, as for the information about my husband, who I tell and who I don’t, that is also my freedom, besides, our objective from the beginning was clear I want to know about Severo, you want to find out about Grizzi, now I know about him but I have not told you, and that does not conflict with the original purpose of our cooperation.”
Marco’s hand on the table was already clenched into a fist, obviously angry: “Are you disowning me after having used me? No one has ever been able to take advantage of me before.
“Have you found out anything about Severo in all this time? Haven’t I told you everything I know about Grizzi? I’d like to ask you, between us, who used whom?”
Allyce didn’t like Marco from the start and naturally didn’t trust him very much.
But under the circumstances, with no trace of Severo, I had to do everything possible to find him.
Marco is powerful and capable, and she is willing to work with him for that.
However, after all this time, Marco found nothing, but instead was able to take pictures of his encounter with Severo.
What does this mean? It means Marco has sent someone to spy on her!
Wise people talk to each other without having to say much to attend to the meaning of each other’s words.
Marco could also hear the deeper meaning of Allyce’s words.
A flash of embarrassment appeared on his face, which lasted only a moment.
“At first I didn’t send anyone to spy on you, I only started having people to spy on you after that incident in the bar, I asked Neto to tell you that he had news of Severo and that he was just testing you, after that, indeed, I saw you meeting Severo, only he was so cunning that I sent a lot of people to watch and I never saw him again. ”
Marco simply told what he had done, and although he had the mentality of a man of authority to some extent, he felt that there was nothing to hide once what he himself was doing behind the scenes was known to Allyce.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
What’s done is done, he’s a man at the top, what’s not to admit.
Allyce was slightly surprised, as she hadn’t expected Marco to admit it first.
He paused, deliberating his words for a moment before saying, “The original reason for our cooperation was that each of us wanted something, and I admit that it was indeed because of your power and skill, which you yourself know, but if it was before, or this time, when you were sent to take on this case, but came up empty-handed, was it because you were only a vain name? Or is there another reason?”
Allyce’s impression of Marco has changed slightly; he is someone who is serious about what he does, and with his skill and power, there must be a reason why he has been researching for so long in a row and has not made any progress.
Allyce woke the dreamer with a start and Marco quickly replied: “You mean there’s a mole on my side?
Allyce didn’t nod or shake her head and began to eat slowly and deliberately.
It says only what needs to be said and not a word more than it should.
