Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"Frederick, wait for me!" "Don't walk so fast! You haven't toldyet, what is the big deal?" "Hey, why are you in such a hurry?" "You didn't call the way here just for a drink, right?" Frederick? Carson? Alicia's blood rushed up to her brain, the familiar sound was so close that she didn't even dare to struggle! On the other hand, Jeremy, who was angry yet enjoying the kiss, did not recognize Carson's voice as the loud nightclub music was playing. He held Alicia tightly with his arms as if he wanted to press her into his embrace. After a few strides, Carson caught up to Frederick and grabbed his arm. "Frederick, did you really cto drink?" "What do you think?" Frederick stopped and gave him a glance, then walked onwards with a smirk on his face.

Of course he had to pick up his wife! She was afraid of the dark! He walked past the two people kissing on the side but looked at the man for a good few seconds. After all, it was a nightclub, that was a common scene.

Alicia was wearing flats because she initially went to accompany her father for his surgery, and Jeremy was so tall and big that she barely reached his shoulders. At that moment, the lights were dark and gloomy as well and her whole body was blocked by Jeremy's body, therefore Frederick didn't recognize her at all.

Both Frederick and Carson glanced at them but left very soon as it seemed to be a private situation. However, Carson's mind was full of doubt. He stayed silent for a moment but in his mind were thousands of question marks running around wildly.

Frederick actually invited him to drink at a bar that barely had any good wine? Had his brain been eaten by a dog? This didn't seem to meet his high requirements and taste! On the other hand, Alicia's entire body froze as she heard the familiar voice. Her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Frederick? Why was he here? Although it had only been a few seconds, it seemed like a century had passed. Alicia's mind went blank and all she could do was bite her lips. She didn't dare to move at all.

As she saw a faint shadow pass by in front of her eyes, her heart almost stopped.

At that moment, her feet moved a little, probably because Jeremy accidentally pushed her and a light tinkling sound was made.

Jeremy was immersed in the kiss and didn't care while Alicia was flustered and didn't hear it but Frederick was attracted to the sound. His eyes fell upon the half-exposed ankle of the woman. Under the faint light, the glittering piece of jewelry clung onto a pale piece of skin and the scene was very alluring.

Although Fredrick withdrew his gaze in a second, the image of the anklet was imprinted in his mind.

Very soon, the two disappeared into the corner of the aisle. Using all her might, Alicia bit Jeremy on his mouth and pushed him away. She raised her hand and gave him a hard slap on his face.

"You're shameless! If you dare to touchagain in the future, I will sue you! A*shole! I never want to see you again in my life!" Wiping her mouth, Alicia said as angry tears rolled down her cheeks.

Blushing profusely, Jeremy finally realized what he had done and tried to apologize for his recklessness and wipe away her tears.

Pushing his hand away, Alicia turned away and ran straight to the bathroom on the other side.

Alicia sat in the bathroom for a long time, and then wiped and washed her mouth again vigorously before going out.

As soon as Alicia walked out, she bumped into another man. "Sorry..." She quickly took a step back and looked up. The man was in a suit and leather shoes, but his tie was slightly slanted. His complexion was red, and he reeked of alcohol. Alicia was shocked to find out that he was someone she knew! "Miss Blanchard, what a coincidence!" "Mr. Hugo-" Unexpectedly, he was one of the department supervisors in Alicia's company. Alicia had to deal with him a few times on behalf of her colleague. Reluctantly, she smiled at him and gave a reply.

"Yes, what a coincidence! You must be here for a business meeting, Mr. Hugo! Then I won't bother you-" Alicia tried to leave after scourteous words, but her wrist was pulled by the man. "I'm not in a hurry! It's a rare encounter, Miss Blanchard. You have becprettier!" He even touched the back of her hand lightly as he spoke.

With an awkward smile, Alicia took her hand away. "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Hugo! But, with all the work and traveling we have to do, I doubt so!" Just as she drew her hand back slightly, he grabbed onto it again.

"I've heard that you're proficient in English, Miss Blanchard! We're currently recruiting staff for our department! If you're interested, we can have a chat about it privately! You should know that joining my department not only means a stable salary but also less work, more vacations, and good employee benefits! All you have to do is sit in the office from nine to five, no extra work and no running around for business appointments! There are vacancies in our department this year, but the recruitment rais one in a thousand. If you're interested, Miss Blanchard, we can talk about it somewhere... After all, it is our department that's recruiting and we're in charge!"

Looking at his perverted expressions, Alicia really wanted to give him a good slap, but she couldn'Kafford to offend him if she were to make him upset, not only will the company be in big trouble, she will probably lose her job as well! "I appreciate your offer, Mr. Hugo. I will definitely consider this when I go back!" Just as she was thinking of how to escape the awkward situation, a sudden cough of a man cfrom behind and she pulled away immediately. As she stepped backward and raised her gaze, she saw Frederick standing at the side.

Suddenly, the light tinkling of bells sounded from her ankle and Frederick's gaze lowered down to her feet. Alicia's face instantly turned pale when she realized something.

Oh no! Her kiss with Jeremy... He didn't hear the bells on her ankle, did he? At this moment, Alicia regretted putting on the anklet. Why did she have to put it on? Seeing their unnatural expressions, Mr. Hugo straightened his back. "President Clements, long tno see!" He greeted Frederick, then turned around and pretended to speak to Alicia righteously.

"Miss Blanchard, I will consider your offer! However, our department's recruitment is based on the unified national examination, which is absolutely fair and does not allow any shortcuts. If you want to be recruited into our department, you have to try harder professionally. Don't keep thinking of using crooked ways!" No wonder he could get the position of a supervisor, he was so good at reversing the responsibility that it sounded like she was the problem! Alicia was furious, inwardly as she thought that the man did really well in victimizing himself! Even so, she could only keep smiling. "Thank you for the lesson, Mr. Hugo. I will be going back to work hard now!"

She quickly turned around and ran away. As the pace of her feet becquicker, the ringing of the bells beclouder and clearer. At En this point, Alicia did not enjoy the tinkling of the bells anymore. Instead, she felt immensely anxious as the sound entered her ears.
