Chapter 169
Alicia craned her neck but it was obvious that she was not interested in anything they were talking about, hence she laid prone on the table.
"Is it Master Clements? Has he really changed?" C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
"Wow, this woman is beautiful! Do all men like this type of girl? An angelic face with straight and long, black hair... Her figure isn't even that great and it seems like she hasn't been through puberty yet! If she looks like this in photos, I wonder how does she look like in real life."
"Oh, don't you know that this body type is really popular now? Maybe it suits his taste! Nowadays, guys are really perverts. Some of them even make their moves on young teenage girls! They're all b*stards. If I have a daughter, I must protect her well!"
"Hey, who is this woman?"
Alicia's ears picked up the familiar words out of the blue and she couldn't help but listen in. "What are you talking about? Why are you so excited?"
Turning around, the two of them drag themselves using the revolving chair one after the other towards Alicia.
"Alicia, this is hot news! Master Frederick, who wasn't even that into women... has started going out with one! He's even going out shopping with her and watched musicals with her! Look, they appear to be a good match, right?"
As soon as Miriam handed over her cell phone, Alicia seemed to hear the sound of her heart breaking apart.
As she fixed her gaze on the screen, the familiar tall figure came into view. At the same time, another familiar figure which was thin with long hair also entered her sight.
Was it... that woman from Lesterdam City?
Had they gone to World Opera House to watch the play about Romeo and Juliet?
From their posture when they were watching the play, Alicia could probably guess the identity of that woman. She was most probably from a wealthy background.
How many people truly knew how to appreciate this kind of musical play?
As for Alicia, even though she had been exposed to these musicals since she was young, she still loved to watch mainstream movies. Every time she went to see an orchestra, she would always sleep from the beginning to the end.
Presumably, the two of them had the same interest.
For some reason, Alicia felt a little upset.
In fact, no matter what she did, her conscience was clear. She could be relatively calm when it came to Jeremy. But, as for Frederick, she still cared about him. It was unlike how she acted on the surface.
However, the gap between the two of them was too huge. At this moment, it was the fear in her heart.
She couldn't afford to love him as they were too different.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, she heard Daisy's voice again.
"Hey, it's written in the news that there used to be a woman who was with Master Frederick. It seems like he had a very special relationship with her. Plus, they knew each other since young, and
she is also the daughter of a wealthy family! Is she the woman in the photo? Why haven't I seen her before?"
"I seem to have heard from someone else too... That woman seems to have gone abroad, hasn't she?"
"Is she the reason why Master Clements does not seem to have any women beside him? If there is a handsome and rich man who is willing to protect me and stay by my side, I will die without regret!"
"Stop dreaming! They've known each other for so long, we don't even know how much she had sacrificed to change Master Frederick who is famous for his cold personality. Even if we have a chance, we have already lost from the start. We won't even be able to catch up with her even by plane!"
"Gee, we are not as lucky as her. Why can't I just dream about it..."
Daisy and Miriam were still talking about how envious they were but Alicia had almost choked. When it came to others, it was all love. When it came to her, all that she had done for him seemed petty. Did she deserve this? For the past year, she
had been true to her feelings!
What was this nonsense? When she was with Jeremy, why didn't anyone envy her? When she was with him, wasn't it love as well?
Why was it always her who was unlucky?
Pathetic!
Alicia got up all of a sudden and spoke, "I am going to the bathroom!"
She pushed the chair away and her action inadvertently showed her emotion. Behind her, Daisy was confused.
"What's wrong with Alicia? Why does she seem to be upset?"
Looking at each other, Miriam shook her head in dismay and muttered, "Is it because we had gossiped too much and interfered with her thoughts? Alicia won't be angry with us, will she?"
"How could she be? Alicia has a good temper and is famous for having a good relationship with anyone! However, Alicia seems to have something on her mind recently. I feel like she has been unhappy since forever!"
"I noticed it too! Is it because she didn't get the bonus this month? Alicia has mentioned that she wants to save money as she has been eyeing on a house."
"It's possible! Alicia had been really unlucky in the past few months. There is always something happening every month..."
"It's okay. I'll buy her a gift tomorrow to make her happy!"
"Alright! I will buy one too! I'm still expecting her to check the draft for me! Come on, let's discuss it!"
At this time, Frederick lost his temper again in the CEO office of Soaver International. He was roaring as he threw some documents.
"Do it again! Do you not know how to make a form to compare data? Don't you know how to write a conclusion? Why do I need you if I have to do it myself?"
"Is this the plan? Do you want to go back to university to study everything again?" "Get out of here if you can't submit a new one tomorrow!"
Frederick waved his hand and slammed it on the table, infuriated. How useless! How could his workers not have completed something this easy?
The group of people took the documents and rushed out of the office. When the door of the room was closed, Frederick pressed on the telephone.
"Ask Chet to come and see me!"
At the door, Chet happened to see this scene, therefore he had to comfort the workers one by one to cheer them up.
Frederick had not been in a good mood recently and Chet was tired of cleaning up his mess.
After a while, Chet knocked on the door.
"Come on in!"
Frederick's voice still sounded a little furious. "Do you have any news from Bayton City?"
Chet raised his hand and waved a brown paper bag in his hand. "I knew you wanted me here for this matter!"
Apart from that woman, what else could enrage such a cold person?
As Frederick reached out for the paper bag, Chet held the corner of the bag. "Do you want to look at it another time? You might get upset!"
He was really afraid that at this critical moment, the content of the paper bag would add fuel to the fire!
"You're provoking me deliberately, aren't you?"
With that, Frederick snatched it with force. Several photos fell out in an instant. Alicia and Jeremy were in the pictures. Although they looked a little young, they looked basically the same as they were at present.
However, in the photo, she was more relaxed and sweet. Her eyes were squinting as she smiled.
Frederick flipped through the pages in a row. The more he looked at them, the bigger and fiercer his movements became.
