Flash Marriage Makes A Perfect Match

Chapter 50: Return to the House of Delahoz



“Chairman, I’ve been with the company for three years, I’m an old employee …”

The receptionist’s jaw dropped when she saw Casimiro.

He gasped when he saw that Allyce was hugging Casimiro’s arm intimately. Judging by their closeness, perhaps it was just a rumour that Allyce was not on Casimiro’s good terms.

“Allyce used to work in the company and she is my granddaughter. Now she’s coming to see me, why don’t you let her come upstairs? I don’t know when a receptionist has ever been given so much power.

The receptionist turned pale with fear at Casimiro’s severity.

“President, I know I have made a mistake. I have been working in the company for three years and I have worked very hard. President, please …”

The receptionist made a pitiful face and almost cried.

But Allyce wasn’t going to leave her alone today.

He turned his head to look at Casimiro: “Grandfather, I don’t think we can let her stay. As you said before, how is it possible that the receptionist won’t let her granddaughter go upstairs? If she is not punished, more and more employees will follow suit. The Delahoz Group is a big company and is well known in Cloud City …”.

On this issue, Casimiro agrees with Allyce.

Although she doesn’t like Allyce, she agrees with the old adage: “Family matters are not to be talked about openly”. How could one of the company’s receptionists actively bully Allyce? If it were known what happened today, it would be an embarrassment for the Delahoz family.

Casimiro could not accept this embarrassment.

More importantly, I wanted Allyce to come back to the company, so I had to show her some respect. Then I’ll fire her as a warning to the rest of the staff.

Allyce smiled with satisfaction at Casimiro’s decision.

Just then, Senona also came downstairs.

When he saw Allyce, he smiled and approached: “There you are, Allyce.

“Allyce will work in the company from now on. Senona, as her first cousin, you will have to look after her and teach her a few things. All right, I’m going to order the personnel department to take care of this receptionist. Allyce, let’s go.

Allyce obediently followed Casimiro’s orders, showing him great respect.

“Senona, I have to go now.” Allyce turned her head and smiled triumphantly, even winking at him.

Senona struggled to maintain her fake smile and clenched her fists.

She was just a woman with nothing to lose; what did she have to do to be accommodating?

Following Casimiro, Allyce entered his office, the smile on her face even more pronounced.

She needs to give the public the illusion that she is in Casimir’s favour; Casimir, in turn, needs to convince them that the Delahoz family is very tolerant and harmonious.

Thus, in the face of outsiders, the two come to an unspoken agreement. However, when there are no outsiders, both reveal their true colours.

“Draw up a new contract based on this one”. As he spoke, Allyce handed a contract to Casimiro.

Casimiro looked at her: “Did you write it? .

Allyce sat down and answered without panic: “Yes, I went to law school. So don’t try to fool me.

Hearing his words, Casimiro felt a little embarrassed. He asked the lawyer to put some traps in the documents he had given him earlier.

As a businessman, he took unscrupulousness to the extreme.

But now Allyce was pointing directly at him, so he could no longer deceive her through the contract.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Casimiro therefore simply called his lawyer with a cold expression and asked him to draw up a new contract, based on the one provided by Allyce, to be signed and sealed by both of them.

Upon receiving the signed and sealed contract, Allyce gave him a big smile: “Grandpa, remember to let me know if there is a shareholders’ meeting.

Although Casimiro was a little bitter, he was comforted by the thought that the shares he was losing now were less than the profits he would make later.

“I have already transferred my shares to you. Now let’s talk about your work in the company.” Casimir picked up the teacup on the side and took a sip, then looked at Allyce with a serious expression.

Allyce smiled in understanding. As expected, things were not that simple.

He was also curious to know why Casimiro had been so generous in transferring his shares to him.

“The L. K. Group wants to work with us. But you have been appointed to take over the project on behalf of our company”.

Casimiro studied Allyce carefully as he spoke. He did not know why the L. K. Group had made this request, but in any case, it suited him.

If the Delahoz Group could work with the L. K. Group, it would get much more than the shares transferred to Allyce.

“Why me?” Allyce pondered as she clenched the contract in her hand.

Although the L. K. Group had not been in the domestic market for long, it was recognised by everyone as a powerful group.

A few days ago, she learned that the president of the L. K. Group had returned to the country. But she did not expect him to return to seek the cooperation of a domestic group.

Allyce thought that if the L. K. Group wanted to seek a business partnership, there were many options. Why would he go to the Delahoz Group and even appoint her as the boss?

Something must have gone wrong.

“Come back to work tomorrow. The sooner we work with the L. K. Group, the sooner our company can reap the benefits. I think you must be clear about that. Otherwise, I would consider your years of study abroad useless”.

Casimiro made the decision for her and did not give Allyce the opportunity to refuse.

His words reminded Allyce of the reason she had been sent abroad. She looked at him coldly but said nothing.

She knew Casimiro had his own intentions, but she had not expected it to be for this reason. Why was someone from the L. K. Group looking for her?

Casimiro was curious about it, and so was she. Therefore, she did not contradict Casimiro’s decision.

However, he made a request: “I want Lucila to be my assistant.

He trusts no one else.

“All right.” Casimir looked at her and nodded.

Early the next morning, Allyce hurried to the office.

Yesterday’s events had spread quickly through the company. Everyone knew that, at Casimiro’s request, Allyce, the second daughter of the Delahoz group, who had just spent a few days working in the company, had returned.

This time, she is in an important position. And Casimiro even took her to the project department himself.

“Allyce is the person responsible for working with the L. K. Group. The staff of the department should cooperate fully with her if necessary. Allyce, if you have any questions, you can ask the director”.

With these words Casimiro left.

“Allyce!”

Allyce turned around and saw Lucila.

He smiled and approached her. Lucila hastened to lean over to her and whispered, “Why is your grandfather suddenly being so nice to you?

“Don’t bother with him. I have taken back my father’s share. I hope we can have a cordial working relationship.” Allyce offered her hand to Lucila and shook it. Lucila smiled and touched his waist teasingly.

After a bit of play, the two dive into their work.

“They have made an appointment with us. Our first negotiations will take place this morning.

“What is that place?”

“L. K. Group, of course. L. K. has branches in Cloud City”.

Allyce nodded, “Then get ready, we’ll be there in a few minutes”.

The two got ready and headed for the L. K. Group.

The L. K. Group lived up to its reputation as a leader in the European financial sector, and its branch building was magnificent.

“Hello, this is Allyce from the Delahoz Group. I’m here for our cooperation. Allyce hands her card to the receptionist.

The receptionist was very enthusiastic: “It is a pleasure to meet you, Miss Allyce. Please wait a moment.

The two did not have to wait long before an employee came down to greet them.

Judging by his high-end suit, you could tell he was a secretary to the president. The president is waiting for you. Please come with me.

Allyce and Lucila looked at each other in confusion – why did it seem to them that the L. K. group was eager to cooperate?

The secretary led them to the door of the president’s office and pushed it open: “Come in! .

As soon as Allyce entered the office, she saw the man sitting at his desk. Then he walked quickly away.

Lucila asked: “What is it?

“I think we are in the wrong place. Let’s go back.

But it is too late. Severo’s clear, cadenced voice comes from behind: “Allyce!
