Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 313

Did she not like the food at the cafeteria? Why did she order so little? Frederick wondered.

Frederick stroked her hair and answered, "Okay!"

Then he picked up the handset and made his order. At the same time, he also instructed his assistant to prepare a plate of cut fruits. After taking a glance at Alicia who was sitting on the sofa, Frederick turned around and went to the coffee bar to make coffee.

When he was at it, he asked, "Do you not like the food here?"

She seemed excited and wanted to eat anything that was available at the cafeteria the last time. But it seemed that she had lost her appetite nowadays.

Scrolling through her phone, Alicia casually answered, "No, the food here is one of the best I've ever had!"

As she was replying to a text message, she couldn't help but pause for a short while. In fact, in Alicia's opinion, the food is great, but she would always end up losing her appetite whenever she went to the cafeteria. When she first joined the company, there would be so many people gathering around her that she couldn't even join the queue. When I finally got to the front of the queue, it would either be leftovers or the dishes that did not suit her preferences, so she did not feel comfortable having her meals there.

Recently, the situation had gotten better. But still, even when she visited the cafeteria, there were always people who would come over to snatch her meals and even take her seat, which annoyed her a lot. However, since she was a newcomer, she decided not to make a fuss over these trivial things. But of course, grievances would arise after countless such experiences.

Since she decided not to complain about it, then she would not complain about it now. Since she had made the decision then to accept the consequences, she would bear with whatever came along now. It was just how she was as a person.

So she looked down and continued to reply to her text messages.

Frederick put down his coffee and lowered his head. He saw that one of the text messages that she had sent out wrote, "I'm fine, my boss is busy now, I'm just here waiting for him to give me a lecture but I'm really fine. Thanks for asking!"

"I'm busy at the moment, so I'm not sure. You guys can go ahead without me! Thanks!"

Frederick sat down and immediately pulled her into his arms. He stared at her phone screen and saw that she was texting at least three people at the same time. Not only that, he also realized that Alicia and these people would text each other now and then.

Frederick stretched out his hand and took the phone from her. The screen displayed a text from a person named "Mr. Yves". He scrolled through the messages casually and almost all of them were asking if she was free, whether they could book a seat for her to have lunch at the cafeteria.

Frederick gave her a sidelong glance as his eyes darkened. Alicia didn't try to snatch her phone from him but allowed him to look freely through her phone. Because she knew that if Frederick did pay attention to what she had replied, he would know that she did not have any intention to get closer to those guys.

After looking through all the messages, Frederick returned the phone to Alicia. He was a little agitated as he said inwardly, "This woman is only here for a few days but she already has a group of men coveting her under my nose."

Was she doing this to pressure him to announce their relationship to the world? Frederick thought.

He was not opposed to having their relationship publicly known, but it was yet the right timing to do so. Moreover, Frederick wanted her to stand on her own two feet before announcing their relationship because he knew that once everyone knew about their relationship, all her efforts would be washed down the drains.

Frederick bent his fingers and caressed her tender face.

He said, "It seems like I should just keep you in my pocket and make sure you're by my side wherever I go. You're just too beautiful that no matter where you go, you just can't help but attract everyone's attention!"

He never thought that he would be subdued by a woman, as they were often dispensable to him. Having them in his life or not would matter little to him. But at this moment, looking at the woman in his arms, he could tell that a sense of anxiety and insecurity were slowly overcoming him.

He was afraid of losing her!

This feeling was unprecedented! He had never had such a strong desire to possess a woman, a woman who he used to hate so much even!
