Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 280

Alicia dashed back to the private room as fast as she could, as if she was escaping from a warzone!

As she returned to her seat, her legs and feet were sore, and she realized her lips seemed to be tingling. Biting her lips, she was so anxious that her hands that were holding her plate of cake were trembling.

"Alicia, are you okay? Are you not feeling well? Why is your face so pale?"

Miriam tried to express her concern, but Alicia was so nervous that she almost flipped the plate over when she heard her. "Ah? Really?"

Putting the cake down, Alicia reached for her face and touched her cheeks. She had just run back, but her face was all cold. With an uneasy smile, she assured Miriam.

"I'm probably just a little tired..."

Her mind was a mess, all she could think of was why was Frederick here? Did he see it? Should she take off the anklet?

As she unintentionally moved her feet, another tinkling sound chimed.

Although it wasn't loud, it was so clear that it was unignorable. She didn't expect this cheap anklet to be so nimble.

She originally bought it for the sake of fun because it tinkled when it moved, but at this instant, she was having a major headache just thinking about it.

Should she take it off? After all, they were tiny bells. The tinkling shouldn't be too loud! It was on her feet, therefore it was probably normal that she could hear the sound, right? Others probably couldn't hear it as there would still be a distance between them, could they?

As Alicia was hesitating, she couldn't help but think if there were any possibilities that he didn’t notice it!

Right when she was about to ask Miriam if she could hear the tinkling sounds coming from her anklet, her cell phone vibrated. That instant, Alicia had a bad feeling about it and chills ran down her spine. At the same time, Miriam got up to have a toast with their other colleagues again.

Therefore, she took out her phone to check the message that she received.

As expected, it was a message from Frederick. "See you at the entrance in ten minutes!"

The simple eight words slammed into Alicia's heart like a hammer. He probably saw it!

"It's over! I'm doomed this time!" she thought to herself.

Wailing in her heart, Alicia quickly replied in a cute manner, "Okay!", followed by a series of 'kissing' emoticons to please him.

At this moment, Alicia didn't feel like smiling at all.

When Frederick returned to his private room, his face was full of rage and he quickly picked up the car keys. "Let's go!"

Carson got up looking confused. "What do you mean, Frederick? I just ordered some beer!"

Haven't they just arrived? The sofa hadn't even been warmed yet! Did he have to torture him like that?

"I have matters to deal with! You can drink yourself!" After speaking, Frederick turned around and walked towards the door.

"Hey —" Carson scratched his head in exasperation and gave a speechless sigh. What was the fun in drinking alone?

In his past experience, people usually gathered to drink when they had something important to talk about. If they were only looking for entertainment or relaxation, they would go play ball or ride horses instead.

Carson quickly took out his wallet and paid for the bill, then grabbed his blazer. He quickly turned around to check if they left anything and then proceeded to chase after Frederick.

Alicia, on the other hand, found an excuse to leave first. She politely rejected all her colleagues' offers to send her back. While checking the time on her phone, she ran all the way to the entrance, worrying that being late would add fuel to the fire.

She rushed out the door, panting with her cell phone in one hand. She looked around and saw him standing there with one hand in his pocket and another holding a cigarette. It seemed that he had been waiting for some time already.

Turning around, she quickly greeted him, "Hubby, I'm not..."
