Chapter 100
Victoria? Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
It was only then she remembered that she was supposed to have dinner with Victoria! She got up and stretched her body before answering the phone.
"Dad, I still have something to do. I have to go first. I will come to visit you again when I am free! You must get well as soon as possible. Mom and I will wait for your return!" she said.
A kiss then fell on her father's forehead. Alicia helped her father to adjust the quilt before she packed up and left. She did not realize that at the moment she turned around, his hand under the quilt moved slightly. Although the movement was very subtle, his hand had in fact moved.
When Alicia arrived at the designated place, Victoria had already chosen their seats and ordered some snacks.
Alicia sat down and ordered a seafood pasta without hesitation. The two chatted idly.
"Lindsay is really disgusting! She's really such a prude b*tch! Although I have never really liked her all that much, I never knew she was this type of woman! No wonder you look terrible!" Victoria said.
Hearing Alicia's story, Victoria was also quite indignant. She then gave Alicia some dessert.
"Have more desserts and you'll be in a better mood! Don't argue with women like her! She would not even let go of her friend's boyfriend or ex-boyfriend. Just how horny is she? Jeremy is also a fool!" she said.
Why in the world did he even want a woman like her!
At this point, Alicia's thoughts were the same as Victoria's. Although she had other reasons for her bad mood, she still chose to avoid talking about Frederick. It was not that she did not trust Victoria.
In truth, it was because she did not think that they would have a good future together...
Therefore, Alicia felt that there was no need to explain it in detail.
"I won't waste my feelings for people like them! It's just that every time I look back, I would think that... I was really blind! Is it true that birds of the same feather flock together? Both of them are so good at acting. Plus, they could even act for years!" she said.
As she thought of everything that happened this year, Alicia sighed.
"Victoria, do you know? This year alone, Lindsay has actually helped me a lot! I was sad for Jeremy. She scolded Jeremy with my mother. She was the first to help us with anything in our family too... I really believed in her and was grateful to her too! You should know, ever since that incident, all my classmates and friends would stay away from me. It was good enough that they did not mock me!" she said.
She laughed at herself. She could not help but sigh at the thought of all the people she had encountered. The fickleness of the world! She had really seen the dark side of the world.
"Are you stupid? Had she not treated you well, how would you have believed her, much less do so much for her? If you hadn't told her about your relationship with Jeremy, how could she imitate you and replace you? But, it must have been hard for you too. How could you not accept that fact just because she helped you? Alas, don't think that I am like her. I am not interested in your man! However, I'm still very interested in you!" Victoria said.
Alicia glared at her as she picked up a roasted chicken wing and passed it to Victoria.
"You are doing it again! People who don't know us will misunderstand us! Come on, we are like sisters. No matter how they look at us, we are two beautiful women!" Alicia said. Were they acting abnormally?
With a faint smile, Victoria motioned her to come closer.
She told her, "Hey, let me tell you a little secret! I have heard of Jeremy's fiancee. I forgot her name, but she seems to be a rich lady from the Castle family of Yecaeus City. The Castle family of Yecaeus City is rich and famous! Who did Lindsay think she was? At most, she is just the daughter of a nouveau riche. No, to be exact, she is just an adopted daughter! Moreover, I heard that the lady from the Castle family is talented and beautiful too! Anyone with common sense will know who to pick, right? It seems like she is not just a normal rich girl!"
"Really? Does he really have a fiancee?" Alicia was shocked. Back then, their marriage was hot news. Why didn't the Castle family react to this?
She remembered how hard she had worked to make her dreams come true back then. Her heart would still throb and hurt after thinking about it.
Victoria seemed to have seen through her thoughts. Therefore, she continued.
"In my opinion, Jeremy is a sc*m! I heard from my father recently... It seems that the Castle family has a good relationship with the Pitcher family. In short, it seems like their parents have called the shots! However, the Pitcher family seemed to have immigrated and gone abroad to do business. Therefore, when Jeremy was transferred to our school, he had in fact, came back from abroad! Recently, I don't know why, but they have shifted their business center to our country and came to Casterwich City! Hence, how would they know about what had happened in Bayton City? Even if the people in Yecaeus City knew about it, they might never have expected it to be Jeremy. They might just think that the two of them had the same name!"
Actually, Alicia had thought about it too. The reason he suddenly came back to study for two years was probably to come and take vengeance on her!
Just how deep was his hatred for her? How deep could it have been for him to travel thousands of miles just to plan his vengeance?
While Alicia was deep in thought, Victoria's phone suddenly rang.
"Manager Simpson-"
When Victoria picked up the phone, Alicia's thoughts were interrupted. She picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into her mouth.
"...Hey, are you kidding me? Why did you come to me? Mr. Simpson, I am a designer, not a model agent. Where can I find you a car model? A commission of 2,000 dollars per hour? Please, even if you give me 20,000 dollars, I might not be able to find a tall, slim, and beautiful woman, right?"
She continued, "What were you doing? Why did you choose to do things at the last minute? You need it at two o'clock in the afternoon, yet you are only calling me now? I know the event starts at around 8 o'clock! The point is, where can I find a model for you in such a short amount of time?"
"I do know a few model agency companies-"
Victoria was chatting on the phone. Alicia's eyes flashed. She pulled Victoria's hand from across the table and kept pointing at herself.
Victoria's eyes widened and she could not help but let out a sound of exclamation!
Alicia kept nodding and even mouthed, saying, "Can I try?"
Victoria mouthed her reply to her, "Are you serious?" After receiving a definite response, Victoria spoke to Mr. Simpson.
"Hey, wait! I have a good friend, who has an absolutely outstanding appearance and figure. Don't worry, it will be better than the people you usually find. Why would I lie to you? She just needs to stand on the platform, right? Would there be any physical contacts?" "Don't worry! She knows how to dance. I'm sure she can do poses! We are short on time, yet you are still hesitating on my best offer? However, I will say this first, she is only going for my sake. She is not there to entertain the guests! If someone tries to touch her and she ends up offending the guest, we will not be responsible. She has a strong background!" she said.
Listening to her friend's words, Alicia smiled as she thought, "She is truly a great friend! She is very thoughtful of me!"
After putting down the phone, Victoria asked with concern.
"Alicia, are you short of money? Do you have any difficulties? If you have any problems, don't hesitate to let me know. I can transfer hundreds of thousands of dollars to you!"
