Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 103

However, she instinctively crossed her legs to protect herself, which aroused a burst of exclamation.

She lowered her eyes and felt like crying. She did not dare to look at Frederick.

But, she could not stop working!

Although she was just a temporary worker, she had signed a temporary contract. She thought of the default fees and could only try her best to cheer up. She walked around the car slowly and posed for pictures.

At this moment, she knew she was absolutely in deep trouble.

Every time the cameras flashed, she could feel her heart beat harder and faster. After an unknown period of time, it felt like an entire century had passed. Every second felt like years.

She was in a trance and saw a man in a suit rushing up to the stage. He whispered a few words to the host. Then, the host picked up the microphone.

"Good news! Good news! The famous movie star, Miss Nancy, is a loyal fan of our Ferrari sports car. It's our honor to have her here. Now, let's invite Miss Nancy to sing for us-"

With a burst of applause, the host stepped back and stood beside Alicia. He whispered, "You can leave now! Miss Nancy will replace you. You should go look for Manager Simpson!"

Alicia froze for two seconds before she dragged her painful feet and walked down the stage slowly. She was still puzzled in her heart.

Wasn't she supposed to work until 9 p.m.? Why was she replaced halfway through?

She looked back and saw a young woman dressed in an ordinary dress being surrounded by a group of people. In truth, she did not know her. She only felt that woman looked a little familiar!

A celebrity was certainly different from her. Soon, there was loud applause, and exclamations were heard.

As she looked at her, Alicia paused and muttered in her heart again.

"That's strange. Someone like her should not be here! Why isn't she on the main stage? Will my salary be deducted?"

While she was still confused, the urgent voice of Manager Simpson came, "Miss-Miss Blanchard-"

The manager was sweating all over and his breath was unstable. Obviously, he had rushed over!

When Alicia came to her senses, she uttered, "Manager, what's going on? What should I do if I have been replaced halfway through? My work for the whole afternoon won't be in vain, would it?"

She was so tired that she felt like her legs were going to fall off. If her salary was really deducted, she would suffer a great loss!

At the thought of this, she could not help feeling a little wronged.

The manager kept waving his hand. He was so anxious that his face turned red. "No, no! This is our responsibility. You will receive the full payment—"

The manager patted his chest and took in big breaths.

"It is because your platform has the biggest response from the crowd. The situation with Miss Nancy wasn't planned. Hence, we chose the platform with the most crowd. It is not your responsibility! You don't need to stand on the stage anymore. You can go back! Of course, you will get the full amount! As for your commission, I will calculate it tomorrow. We will transfer it to your bank account. Rest assured!" "Then, what about the salary? Can I get it now?" she asked.

As soon as Frederick came near, he heard her pitiful words.

The manager nodded.

"Yes, you can! Please wait for two minutes. I've already asked someone to get the money. Or, perhaps, I can transfer it to you now!"

When Alicia was considering whether she should wait, she felt uneasy. After all, she had been cheated on by other people before. While she was hesitating, a cold voice could be heard.

"Aren't you going to leave yet?"

When Alicia returned from her shock, she saw Frederick's side profile. His face was as dark as gathering storm clouds. She bit her lips softly.

"Give me two minutes! My bag is still in the cabinet

As soon as she said that, Frederick's face twisted.
