Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 182

"As far as I know, the Crouch family members are all upstarts and snobs who are very selfish and prey on the weak! Recently, they even tried to steal the Global Garden project from us! They really overestimated themselves! Graham Crouch and Lindsay Crouch are really birds of a feather; they're hypocrites. Last year, he even made a name for himself as a philanthropreneur! I heard that every time he makes a donation, he will find excuses to detain the workmen's salaries. To sum it all up, he won't spend a penny more than he has to!"

After hearing the stories, Frederick had a really bad impression of this family. With a flash of inspiration, he said, "Didn't he want to bid for the project? Let's give him a chance!"

"Huh? Are you talking about Crouch Construction?"

Nodding, Frederick replied in a calm voice, "Yes, I'm quite bored recently. Let's play a game with them!"

Chet got goosebumps and shuddered as he finally understood what Frederick meant. "Surely he didn't mean to give them a hard time just because of one slap? He was already up to his neck in work!" Chet lamented inwardly.

At the same time, Alicia was lucky she wasn't late for work. Rushing, she arrived at the last second but the meeting with Frederick that morning and the incident the previous night had both put her in a bad mood.

Alicia kept making mistakes in her work and she had to correct them a few times, which wasted many data materials on hand. She was stressed out and just as she corrected the data, she received a call from an unknown number.

"Hello, this is Alicia Blanchard from JT Translation Service."

"Miss Blanchard, I am a doctor from Clearview Hospital. I have something very important to discuss with you... Can you please come over?"

A pleasant male voice came from the phone. Upon hearing that it was a call from her father's nursing home, Alicia got up anxiously.

"Yes, I'll be right there!"

Alicia hung up before the doctor could even finish speaking. She asked her colleague for help with work and rushed to the hospital after applying for leave.

"Doctor, I'm Alicia Blanchard. Is my-"

Rushing into the office, Alicia looked up and was stunned. "It's you?"

"Miss Alicia Blanchard, I finally know your name!" Marshall got up and looked at her while grinning.

"What are you doing here? Are you a doctor? Did you impersonate a doctor to call me here?" Alicia asked with her brows knitted together.

"Imposter? I'm an attending physician here!"

With this, Marshall pointed at his name tag. He was obviously unhappy that she doubted his profession.

Alicia took a look. "Why did you call me over?"

Judging by his approach, Alicia was somehow reassured. Her father should be fine, otherwise, he wouldn't be speaking to her in such a relaxed manner.

"I called you over your medical card is short of ten thousand dollars. You have to make a payment so that it does not affect the follow-up treatments..."

Alicia immediately flew into a rage upon hearing that.

"Are you kidding me? I'm not behind on any payments. This was something that could be solved with a message or a call and yet you asked me to ask for leave to come over? F*ck!"

Alicia was so furious that she just cursed! When she thought about the two hundred dollars deducted from her salary because of the half-day leave she applied, she almost went hysterical!

Shocked by her reaction, Marshall spoke in a weak voice, "I was going to inform you to come when you're free-"

How could he have known that she would hurriedly hang up the phone and come over? In fact, he really did call her because he wanted to meet him. To be exact, he just wanted to confirm a time for them to meet.

Alicia was so mad that she was red in the face. She opened the door and walked out before slamming the door with a bang.
