In fact, everyone was someone else's substitution. There were all sorts of people in the world. Maybe this was coincidentally Frederick's type? If she had gotten this opportunity just because she looked like Danica, then it was her luck! Alicia thought. As long as he treated her as Alicia and not Danica, then it was alright.
Alicia's mind was racing before she closed her eyes.
At long last, she finally found herself a good enough reason.
Although Alicia had just barely persuaded herself, these thoughts were like thorns in her hearts, occasionally appearing out of nowhere.
In the office, she finished her work and began to lose herself in her thoughts. As the computer screen dimmed, she stared at her own reflection. She began to overthink again.

She then clicked on the mouse and sighed.
Could it be that everything that he had ever gifted her was actually things that Danica liked? Were his sweet words for Danica as well? Did he think of Danica as he hugged Alicia? Did he think of Danica as he made love to Alicia? The more she thought about it, the more irritated she got.
Alicia got up and made herself a cup of coffee. She went back to her seat and pulled on her own hair out of exasperation. Suddenly, a thought cto her mind.
"Oh, that's right! As long as I becunlike her, shouldn't it all be fine?" she wondered.
From that moment onward, Alicia wanted to completely change Frederick's preferences. So what if she looked like Danica? As long as she changed herself and made him fall in love with her, then she could ge rid of Danica. "Yes, this is a good idea!" Alicia cheered herself up and finally put on a smile.
In the office of Soaver International, when Frederick cback from the meeting, Chet went to make him a cup of tea. He said, "Graham called early in the morning. He pleaded with us to give him a chance and said that Lindsay lost her child!" Frederick raised an eyebrow in surprise and Chet continued.
"I went to look up on it. In fact, Lindsay is not as glamorous as she showed herself to be. The information from the hospital stated that she suffered a miscarriage because of her poor health. She might have had a miscarriage before this and the uterine lining was too thin. Plus, she was too emotional during the pregnancy, therefore the baby did not make it! According to the doctor, she had a lot of old injuries and was not suitable for pregnancy! Moreover, I heard that Jeremy was breaking up with her before the miscarriage, it seems... that it has something to do with the past! But, the doctor said that these are the privacy of the patient, hence they have not told anyone other than her! I used my connection to get this information." "I guess Jeremy might have been deceived by her too. The two are very likely to be together because of their children! If she had a miscarriage before, then this woman is not that simple. This way, she could still be with Jeremy. I heard that the two were going to get engaged but I don't know why they have been holding it back. I think they are going to cancel it after all!" Chet took a sip of the tea before speaking.
"Graham is also something else. After knowing that it might be because of Lindsay, he actually calledearly in the morning and toldthat he scolded her, saying that she deserved the karma. He even sai that she had a miscarriage because he slapped her a few times. I have never seen someone like him. One would feel bad even if one's pet dog got injured, but his own daughter is still in the hospital! How could he say something like this for the sake of his own business?" "Someone like him should just die!" Frederick tapped his fingers against the table.
"Since he has said so, let's give him a chance! Extend the due date and let him send the products. Hire someone to watch over him so that you don't have to follow up with him and prevent him from doing something illegal again. Don't take it easy during the checking. Let the news spread after we've sent out our stocks. Let him enjoy for two more days." "Frederick, you are so mean!" Graham would go broke just from buying these replicas, and yet Frederick still had stricks up his sleeve.
"Why? Do you pity him? Then tell him about this!" "Frederick, stop messing around, I don't want to die yet." Chet was so afraid of Frederick's gaze that he waved his hand and then asked, "By the way, what happened to your hand?" Frederick glanced at his hands and found that it was still covered in red marks. He immediately felt a surge of anger.
"I met a lunatic at my uncle's birthday party. She splashed boiling hot water on Alicia and it almost got onto her face! Go look up which daughter of the Lopez family it was, she might have ssevere mental problems. Send her to the mental asylum and tell the Lopez family that if she comes out, I will finish the entire family off! Also, remind the staff at the asylum that they should be careful of her. She even mentioned something about acid!" After a moment of thinking, Frederick continued.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Ask them to guard her properly and notifyas soon as there's something wrong. I always feel that something is off. She actually knew aboutand Danica, how cI have no impression of her? Did Danica have any friends from the Lopez family? That woman looked to be in her late thirties! How could it be possible?" It could be that the woman was being used! If it was the case, that was even more terrifying! Chet checked his phone while Frederick was talking.
"You must be talking about the Lopez family who works in the fur industry at the Southeast side. Paige Lopez, the eldest daughter, seems to be divorced. I remember that there was Dive news about it and they ever went to court; it was quite a sensation back then. The headline at that twas very sensational! Her ex-husband cheated on her with another woman, and they took all her assets when they left. Anyway, she was very miserable back then but I'm not clear about the details. Do you think it's her?" Frederick then took a glance at the phone.
"Looks like it. I think it should be her. How pitiful! However, I'm not taking chances with someone like her. She looked like she was about to kill Alicia yesterday, it was so odd!" "Understood, I will settle this. Frederick, we have an appointment for dinner with Mr. Lionel from Sky Cross Corporation.
"Letknow when you leave!"
When it was tto get off work, Alicia went to the salon. After washing her hair, she still couldn't bring herself to make any changes to her natural hair. She had initially wanted to curl her hair into an afro but she was worried that her workplace wouldn't allow it. After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to go for small curls. "Just make it as curly as possible, it doesn't matter if it doesn't look good, I want it to be curly!"
"Huh?" It was the first tthat the hairdresser had heard something like this and she stared at the beautiful lady in front of her in astonishment. She even reconfirmed with Alicia thrice. "Don't you understand? It's just temporary, what are you worried about? I won't take it out on you!"
