Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

She could also see that Frederick obviously did not want her to enter. However, Danica did not know that it was because there was someone inside. She thought that perhaps he was on guard against her, as he seemed slightly embarrassed.

However, to get where she was, Danica had already sacrificed so much. Therefore, no matter how embarrassing it was, she still forced a smile. "I've set up a small private painting exhibition this weekend! I wanted to pass you an invitation, thus I dropped by!"

As she spoke, she took out an artistically designed envelope. "Can you come to show some support? Is it okay if you come alone?" She asked as she passed it over.

Fearing that Frederick would take Alicia with him, Danica strategically stopped him from doing so.

They were still looking at each other.

"This is the first painting exhibition I'm hosting ever since I return. I would like to have a good start! If it's alright with you, just do me a favor and support the launch please?"

As he reached out for the invitation, Frederick merely replied, "Got it!"

Just at that moment, a staff member from the kitchen brought over a packed meal box. Initially, Danica had secretly inquired about Frederick's schedule and wanted to come at the right time to have a meal with him. But she now realized that she had missed the chance.

"Thank you! Then, I won't disturb your meal. I'll take my leave! See you this weekend at seven o'clock."

"Alright!"

Frederick nodded and did not persuade Danica to stay. He watched as she entered the elevator. Then, he took the meal box from the staff and said, "Come and get it from me at 2 p.m.!"

"Yes, sir!"

Alicia had been waiting in the room for quite some time and noticed that there were no signs of activity at the door. She slowly crept out, only to see that the door was closed. She had vaguely heard the voice of a woman, but as she peeked out, she only saw a man in a chef's uniform leaving. Alicia frowned in puzzlement.

"Darling, why are you whispering to the chef? What took you so long?"

Frederick subconsciously slid the invitation to the side of the food box to hide it from Alicia's view, "Oh, it's nothing. Let's go in and have some food." "Sure!"

Alicia ran back to the sofa and quickly moved the vase away from the table. Meanwhile, Frederick hurriedly shoved the invitation card beneath the file on the table first, before taking out the meal box. He then spread out a disposable tablecloth, and served the food.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

The prepared meal was sumptuous. There was a variety of delicious fish, meat, and vegetables, coupled with delectable desserts and fruits. Frederick took out a set of cutleries and handed it to Alicia.

"Let's enjoy it while it's still warm!"

"Okay!"

Without hesitation, Alicia stuffed a piece of salmon into her mouth. She then realized that Frederick was still looking at his phone, so she asked... "Honey, are you not hungry?"

"I'm not hungry yet, but I will be in a while!"

He realized that he did not receive any messages from Danica, and hence felt a little relieved. He was afraid that Alicia would see it and the peace between them would be destroyed again. A thought struck his mind as he started to order snacks from an online vendor. He paid and arranged the delivery arrival time at 1 o'clock p.m.

He then put down his phone, picked up his fork, and passed a chicken wing to Alicia. "If there's anything you want to eat in the future, just come up here. I'll get someone to cook it for you!"

"Okay!"

Looking at her happy smile, Frederick began to munch on a bun. However, there were a lot of thoughts running through his mind.

Why did Danica suddenly come to the company? Did she really come just to send him an invitation card? He thought, "D*mn Chet! Why didn't he inform me in advance? Things could have gotten a lot worse!"

As Frederick was not a fan of seafood, Alicia ate most of the salmon and fish. After being well fed, Alicia's mood improved tremendously. She set down her cutleries and picked up a dessert fork, spearing the fruit in front of her.

Noticing that she had not even finished her half of the buns, Frederick raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you full?"

"Well, I'm taking a break before I start on the cake!"

They had an undisturbed lunch, which was pleasant. If it wasn't because she felt bad, Alicia would have eaten the other cake as well. Instead, she urged Frederick who had barely eaten, "Honey, eat more!"

When they were together, they would seemingly compete on who could eat more, and this meal was no exception. The atmosphere was pleasant, but the issue of Danica was on Frederick's mind the whole time. Nheless, he still remained silent about it.

After Frederick set down his cutleries, Alicia quickly placed everything away except for the fruit plate and the cake.

After cleaning up, Frederick placed the tray in a corner. They had a simple gargle to rid themselves of the taste of salmon they had earlier. Frederick answered a phone call, then went to work. After a while, Alicia began to fall asleep on the sofa and started to snore lightly.

Meanwhile, after entering the

elevator, Danica was actually still dawdling. She didn't want to leave at all. Along the way, she was

wondering if she should find another reason to go back. Then again, if she

went back again, would she get a different response?

Her hand subconsciously reached for the elevator button again. Before she could touch the elevator button, the door suddenly opened, and several loud women who were laughing squeezed in. She took a step back.

"Hey, have you heard? Someone was lazing around during work hours and was caught red-handed by the President. He was so furious that he deducted the person's salary on the spot!"

"I heard about it too! It seems that it's all because he tried to talk to that new girl, Alicia! I heard that she was also later lectured by the President. I wonder if she'll be fired."

"Could it be that she has bewitched

them? The men who talked to her seem almost infatuated with her. When she first arrived, Canteen No 6 was overcrowded with people! Have you ever seen something like that happen? Are the stories of her beauty that accurate and true, or is it exaggerated? Is the President also under her charm?"

"I've seen her once! She really is more beautiful than most women! How should put it? She has a graceful aura surrounding her. It is a very different vibe! Her skin is fair and flawless, like how most women look after being heavily edited. Her eyes and mouth look very special too! It is said that men and women focus on different characteristics. But, to be honest, I also think that she is very charming!"

"Is this Alicia that pretty? I'm so curious! No wonder Jennifer from the international department hates her so much! She has been dethroned from her seat of beauty and power, and now her admirers have all turned tail to Alicia. How can she not hate her?"

"In fact, I'm more curious about whether the President will like her or not. It's known that our president is not exactly normal, isn't it?"

"I'll be d*mned if he falls for her!"

"Hahaha!"

Chatting and joking away, the colleagues exited the elevator together. Behind them was an upset Danica. Frederick didn't even let Danica enter the office, yet he brought that woman to work in the company?

Was that woman working in the international department?

Danica's face distorted in an instant, and she walked out. With her chest heaving, she turned to walk towards the sign at the other end of the floor.

In the President's office, Alicia opened her sleepy eyes and was shocked. In 15 minutes time, break time would be over. She quickly went to wash up and tidy up. She only had a few minutes to get ready for work.

Even when she was napping, she was still very dedicated. When he saw her come out, Frederick waved to her.

"There's no need to rush. Have some fruits before you leave!" he said.

While saying that, he took out a bag that was filled to the brim with several different varieties of snacks, including jellies, dried fruits, biscuits, and so

on.

"Is this for me?"

As soon as Alicia approached him, he habitually enveloped her in a hug while enjoying her lovely fragrance very much. "Yes, but from now on, you are not allowed to eat a lollipop in front of men, same goes to ice pops and bananas!"
