Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 316

After making sure there was no one outside, Alicia waved her hand and whispered, "Bye, Honey!"

Then, she quickly squeezed out of the door and trotted into the elevator.

She wasn't concerned about explaining herself to her colleagues. After all, no matter what she said, no one would dare to ask Frederick to verify it. Therefore, she had already thought of an excuse in the elevator.

Her excuse was simple. It was that she had been taken to the office by the President for a lecture, and was punished to clean his office afterward. Hence, she was away for such a long time.

Sure enough, as soon as she returned to the office, she was called in by the manager before she had the chance to be swarmed by her colleagues. She entered her manager Giselle's office and started narrating the excuse that she had come up with.

After listening to Alicia, Giselle's brows were furrowed in confusion. "Is that it?"Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

Apparently, everyone else had three days' wages deducted, which was understandable given their President's temperament. Giselle wondered if Alicia had somehow charmed Frederick, as the usual penalty would be a deduction of wage or even termination. How could Alicia receive such a light punishment?

After all, everyone knew that for so many years, there had only been two people who took turns in cleaning the President's office. A random outsider being told to do it was simply unheard of!

Not to mention that Frederick was famous for his dislike for flashy women, especially the well-dressed, beautiful ones. Once, he had a sexy assistant who was known for her beautiful bosom, unrivalled in the company. Every day, she wore short dresses and walked around the office. All the men in different departments were crazy for her and would help her complete all her tasks on time.

As a result, when she went to the President's office overconfidently and tried to seduce him, she immediately got fired and threw out of his office, which blew up the matter. Even the head of departments and the ones from the Human Resource department who hired her were involved. The next day, all the heads of departments and managers were replaced. It clearly showed the President's attitude towards women who thought themselves charming.

"Oh! That's it!"

Nodding, Alicia still had her head lowered as if she was being reprimanded, but she was actually thinking about her explanation to see if there were any big loopholes.

Although Giselle felt doubtful, she couldn't do anything about it. But she began to feel some concerns about Alicia.

Nheless, Giselle's thoughts were worthless and she couldn't say anything. Moreover, she had just gone to print documents and chatted for a while, which was not too big of a deal. A huge punishment would seem somewhat unreasonable as well.

After pondering for a while, Giselle said, "Alright, it's fine, you may go now! You should be careful when you do things in the future! We are a big company that is very structural and has an emphasis on the rules set, worker efficiency, and corporate image! In addition to the afternoon tea time, we should spend less time chatting and pay attention to work. Ignore those who gossip. Pay attention to the company trends! You should learn harder. The WDW machines are pushing a new line of products. Everyone will be having the same starting point. If you try harder, you won't lag behind, understand?"

"Yes! Miss Giselle, I will do my best!"

Giselle dismissed Alicia with a wave of her hand. Then Alicia slowly stepped out and took a deep breath.

Back at her seat, she touched the two packs of snacks in her pocket and quickly threw them into her drawer. She picked up the instruction manual and began working on it. The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and the faint dimples on her cheeks could be seen vaguely.

Meanwhile, back at his office, Frederick was checking through a document while his eyes glanced at Chet from time to time.

Chet was covered in a cold sweat. He couldn't help but raise his hand and touch the back of his head. He then lowered his head and looked at his shiny leather shoes.

Was there any problem with his dress code? Or had he somehow stained his clothes with something?

Closing the document, Frederick handed it to Chet. He narrowed his eyes and glanced at him while he wondered, "Is he handsome? No one is as handsome as me."

Chet shivered all of a sudden. He was nervous and anxious. "Frederick, did I do something wrong again?"

Why did Frederick look at him in such an unusual way? It sent a shiver down Chet's spine. He wished that Frederick would say something and get it over with.

Shifting his gaze, Frederick snorted and said, "What's up with Danica?"

"Sorry, what?"

Raising his eyes, Chet was obviously taken aback. He walked around the table and sat down on a chair by the side. He couldn't understand what Frederick was asking about.

Suddenly, Frederick stared at him, and subconsciously, his butt, which had not even left an impression on the pillow, quickly scooted upwards. "Can't I even take a seat? What's going on? Why is his mood so horrible today?!"

Chet was completely dumbfounded.

"Why didn't you inform me she was coming to see me?"

After that, Frederick glanced at the chair again and said, "Take a seat!"

Only then did Chet sit down with peace of mind.

"She came to see you? I met her at the door of the company. She said hello to me and I had a small talk with her. She asked me why was I not with you and I said you were busy!

She didn't say she was coming to see you! Wasn't she just passing by?"

As their eyes met, they both had a realization. Danica had used that excuse to grab an opportunity to meet Frederick!

"She came to give me an invitation!" Frederick passed the invitation card to Chet.

Chet opened the card and said, "The banquet hall of the First Sight Hotel? It's a painting exhibition?"

Wasn't that the place where Frederick and Danica fell in love with each other? Although the hotel had been renovated, it still was romantic and luxurious. One look at the hotel and one would fall in love with it!

"Get me details of this painting exhibition!" Frederick instructed.

If she wanted him to support her purely because of business reasons, that was fine. If she had personal motives, then, he wouldn't tolerate it!

He really didn't want to think so badly of her, but the recent events had made his favor towards her plummet greatly.

"Got it!"

"As for the Randolph family, what's going on? Do you know what plans or projects they have recently?"

As he tapped his fingers, Frederick was obviously struggling to keep his composure. She was the only woman in the world who could make him feel so conflicted!

After all, more than 20 years was a long period of time. They had been friends for more than 20 years. Once, she had given him countless warmth. She lit his face up with smiles more than a few times and had accompanied him for many years. Deep down, he knew she was not good enough, but he had also hoped that the past was a good relationship and it would stay on as a good memory, hoping that she could live a better life in the future.

"The Randolph family's business is mainly import and export trade. Many goods are imported from abroad. It is unknown whether he

wants to make a large sum of money on that path, as their stock is not making good money now. Anyway, he has blocked the sale of goods. The final decision is too rash, and the goods are dead! Originally, 100 dollars can be used for two goods, but now the exchange rate has risen. The same goods may only require 80 dollars. Adding on to the long-term costs and the evolution of technology products, he will definitely be losing money! For the trade, the norm of it is to block the bad goods. If the goods are not good, the solution is to block the goods. If not done that way, the business is doomed. I have never seen such a stupid guy like him. He doesn't know when the moment of crisis should be right for him to lose his arm to save his life. Now, business is like a vicious war, and he's at a disadvantage now. Hence, it's a little difficult for him to turn over!"

"I haven't heard of any major projects. However, Kieran is very diligent in running the equity business recently. He often asks the business agents out for meals and appointments. I wonder if he plans to borrow stocks for another gamble? I guess he's just making a fool of himself now. I guess he'll Keep that confident look on his face till he dies. At least, he still has a chance! If Randolph Group declares bankruptcy, it will soon disappear from this circle. At that time, will

people know who Kieran is? It'll be even more difficult for him to rise again!"
