Flash Marriage Makes A Perfect Match

Chapter 18: We will spend our lives together



“No.” Allyce shook her head quickly. She was a little dismayed at the thought of breaking such an expensive bottle of wine, “I bumped into the waitress and knocked over the wine …”.

Severo’s grim face brightened slightly before Allyce dared to look him directly in the eye. He had only been inexplicably a little startled by her facial expression.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Xabat lifted his chin as if he didn’t see Severo and looked at Megan: “Miss Delahoz?

Allyce looked into Xabat’s eyes, which seemed to pinch her. She didn’t really know what to say.

Severo placed the upper part of the suit in his arms over Allyce and then turned to look at Xabat.

Standing behind Severo, Allyce did not see the warning in Severo’s eyes as he looked at Xabat. She only heard Severo’s pleasant voice: “What happened?

Eugene folded his arms and patiently explained: “Miss Delahoz bumped into our waitress and pushed our boss’s 1870 Lafite collection.

Severo raised his eyebrows: “How much does it cost?

As soon as she heard that he was asking a price, Allyce tugged on Severo’s sleeve. She was to blame. She didn’t want Severo to get involved in this.

Severo did not move as he suddenly took her hand. Her hand was completely enveloped in his large palm and she could do nothing more.

Allyce ducked her head and struggled for a moment, but failed.

Xabat, who was downstairs and saw what they were doing, smiled and said to Severo: “Sorry, it’s not a question of price…. Mr. Betances must know how precious this bottle is. If Mr. Betances can find the same bottle of wine, then we’ll let it go”.

Allyce’s eyes suddenly widened, why was she gloating at Xabat’s words?

Wait a minute…

“How do you know his surname is Betances?” He remembered that Severo had not yet revealed his name, how did Xabat know his name?

Suddenly, they were strangely silent.

“Mr. Betances is a regular at Goldie’s”.

“I used to have an old personal account with Mr. Xabat”.

Eugenio and Severo spoke at the same time. Now it seemed even stranger.

Severo was more reliable, Allyce thought.

Xabat was a member of the Goldie family, so it was natural to say that he would not intentionally embarrass a client over an old personal account with him.

“Oh, as we are friends, this matter is still negotiable, so come back today and I’ll ask the boss how to solve it later”.

Xabat’s smile was infectious, if inexplicably strange.

A moment ago he was asking for compensation, but now he said they were friends.

“Thank you then, Mr. Xabat.” said Severo. Then he pushed Allyce out of the way.

Allyce looked again at Xabat in the distance and saw that he was still there.

But Xabat, after watching the two men leave, raised his eyebrows in concern as he muttered: “Damn, I’m finished.

He soon received a phone call: “If you do it next time, I’ll send you to South Africa to develop a new project.

Severo took Allyce out and waited for a taxi on the side of the road.

“I’m going to make a phone call.

They waited a long time without a taxi; Severo went to make a phone call.

Within a minute, Severo was back. Megan was a little puzzled – why had the call come so quickly?

They sat in the car, Allyce keeping her head down and clutching her palms tightly in her hands.

He thought how angry he must be after what had happened at lunchtime today.

After a long while, Allyce whispered: “Thank you.

“Don’t feel weird, we’ll spend our whole lives together.” Severo turned to her and looked at her with serious eyes.

Allyce didn’t know what to say at that moment, when suddenly the taxi stopped. She got out first and walked in front of him.

The two went upstairs one after the other. He took out his keys, opened the door and went inside, but suddenly his eyes widened in surprise and he drew back his feet.
