Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 272

After leaving the hospital, with some time to spare, Alicia went to Mural Street, which was well-known for its handicrafts. She wanted to look for a craft workshop that provided customized embroidery services on silk, to customize a special tie with the pattern that she designed.

After looking around for a while, she finally settled with a sizable textile production company. The discussion took a long time and Alicia even had to agree to the company selling products with the pattern she designed after minor alterations to finally receive the opportunity to customize her tie. The price wasn't cheap either but the thought of being able to do something for Frederick made Alicia beam with joy.

Once the design sketch was shown on the laptop, Alicia began to make adjustments and modifications with the designer until she was completely satisfied with the color scheme. The designer adored the pattern she designed and wanted to use it in his own designs. With the glee of gaining a small advantage, she chose another color scheme from the choices available and used it on her own design, making the tie a set of two instead of only one. Thinking that the ties can be used interchangeably, she was utterly satisfied with the result.

"I'll leave it to you, Julian! This is my phone number. Please use the best silk you have for my tie and don't forget the label!"

"Don't worry, Miss Blanchard! I hope we'll have good a cooperation!"

While shaking hands, the two of them exchanged business cards. "Your design is very unique."

Not many people can communicate with him so smoothly.

Being neither humble nor arrogant, Alicia displayed a faint smile. "I studied design for a few years before, therefore I know some basics!"

"No wonder, I thought that you seemed professional. You were fantastic with the fabrics, color- matching, and proportions of the pattern. I was wondering if you would be interested in being my assistant? Our design studio is currently hiring as well!"

"It is my honor to receive your appreciation. However, I have already dropped designing for a long time and I enjoy my current job very much. If I do have the opportunity, I will definitely consider it first!"

Even though Alicia declined, the two still had a merry conversation. They signed the agreement and discussed some details before Alicia left.

As she walked out, she stared at the distant sky that she felt was infinitely ethereal and beautiful. Her designing skills were approved by a professional and it made her feel like her many years of effort did not go to waste.

Taking lively steps, Alicia went home.

When she arrived at the door, seeing the flowerpot with the jasmine plant that used to be at the corner of the courtyard being replaced by some emerald green plants made her mood even better. Flinging the car keys, she walked, hummed and danced for a few rounds before entering the house...

In the blink of an eye, the day for Alicia to go back to work has arrived. As soon as she stepped into the office, Alicia saw blue enchantresses on her desk again. They appeared every day as if they were a daily alarm ringtone, which was really annoying.

Swinging her arm, Alicia took it and walked out the door.

The trash cans in the room were very small. Every time she wanted to throw them away, she had to go downstairs. Miriam, who already saw this coming, stopped her at the door.

"Alicia, don't waste it! I wouldn't mind keeping it!"

Ever since Alicia overheard her colleagues bad- mouthing her in the women's toilet, saying that she was showing off and giving away the flowers that she received to let everyone know that she was popular, she stopped talking about her flowers. She didn't even bother to ask where they came from anymore. If she was in a good mood, she would put it aside to decorate her office. If she was in a bad mood, she would just throw it away.
