Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 174

Sure enough, as soon as she did that, John subconsciously retreated, allowing Alicia to withdraw her hand. She deliberately pretended to sneeze and flung her purse. She even acted as if she was bending over and used the high heels of hers to step onto his feet.

"Achoo!"

"Ouch!¹'

The man screamed and turned around abruptly. As for Alicia, she purposely rubbed her nose and apologized, "Oh, no, I am so sorry. Achoo—"

Then, she pretended to sneeze again to take a few steps backward, keeping a distance from him.

"Mr. Andrews, are you okay? I am so sorry about that. How ridiculous of me. I'm not feeling well recently. Alas, perhaps I've taken a little too much of Artemisinin — oh, no, I meant I might've caught a cold. Maybe I have put on a little too much perfume, which made my nose feel a little itchy..."

After deliberately emphasizing the explanation, Alicia still had a smile on her face as she was obviously eyeing the money.

"I'm very interested in the task you just mentioned! Unfortunately, I'm not good at the German and French languages. Do you have any job that requires Russian translation? How much can I get? I'm a professional!"

As she said this, she deliberately scratched her arms and secretly scratched her thigh. Her actions were neither too obvious nor too discreet. She was intending to let the man notice it.

As expected, the next second, the man's face changed and he waved his hand as if he had seen a ghost.

"No, no! Our company doesn't hire anyone that speaks Russian! Miss Blanchard, I have to go to meet my friends. I'll look for you again if I need you..."

As he turned around, he stumbled in panic. Alicia clearly saw that he took out her business card from his pocket as he probably wanted to throw it into the bin.

"Pfft."

With a scoff, Alicia shook the document in her hand and stuffed it into her bag. "If you are so afraid, why would you still want to fool around? I don't even have to curse you; you will one day be doomed by women too!" Alicia scolded inwardly.

In the past, she had translated a few medical instructional materials. For this reason, she did a lot of research and even went to the hospital to get advice from doctors.

Artemisinin was known to be used as a medication to cure common sexually-transmitted diseases. It was said that it worked with other antibiotics and was the first choice of medicine due to its effectiveness. However, it was prone to trigger an allergic reaction. Therefore, it was necessary to conduct a skin test before taking the medicine!

Based on what she had just done, she could guess that men with a little common sense would think something was wrong with her. They must have thought that underneath her clothes, some part of her body was rotting!

After putting the documents in her purse, Alicia still felt a little proud of herself. In fact, as a translator, she was exposed to all kinds of fields and had vast knowledge.

When she turned around and was about to leave, she raised her eyes and met a pair of deep blue eyes.

She paused and choked on her saliva. She bit her lower lips subconsciously and thought, "He really is here, isn't he?"

How long had he been standing here?

When their eyes met, Frederick clenched his hand to form a fist in his pocket. It was a good show and he didn't miss out on anything at all.

At this moment, Frederick's emotions were really overwhelming. He admired her yet he was angry at the same time!

Was there only money in this woman's eyes? Did she come here to dance or to socialize? She was obviously taken advantage of by him and yet she didn't even know to get rid of him or slap him?

Frederick was furious but he couldn't deny that her way of handling things had her advantages! If she really did slap him earlier, she would definitely infuriate the man. In the end, she might not be able to protect herself.

However, thinking that she was held by such a disgusting man, Frederick felt extremely displeased.

All of a sudden, his eyes fell on her ear without him realizing it. He fixed his gaze on her and his expression turned a little unhappy.

A pair of mismatched butterfly earrings?
