Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 358

"I should be able to come home tomorrow afternoon once I'm done meeting with my client. Is there anything in particular that you want?"

The place that he was at was not far away from home. However, there was nothing much going on where he was and there was nothing particularly special about it. Frederick didn't know what to get her!

"I would love some chocolates! You coming home is already the best gift! If you could bring back a box of chocolate, it would be perfect!"

As they talked on the phone, Alicia entered the bathroom to run a bath. After talking on the phone for a little while longer, she went back inside to take a bath. She was afraid that the water would get into her wound, so she deliberately filled only half of the tub. While she immersed herself in the water, she picked up her phone and scrolled through the news. Immediately, she saw a name on the headline that was vaguely familiar.

It read, "Overheating in Pitchers Company's new product. The company issues a product recall."

"The product recall would result in a heavy loss of more than 100 million dollars to the Pitchers Company."

As she read the article, her thoughts wandered. Something had gone wrong with Jeremy's company? No wonder there hadn't been any news about them at all recently! They were busy putting out the fire in their own backyard!

Could this year be an unlucky year? Why were the people around her, including herself, having such bad luck this year?

Alicia shook her head, clasped her hands together, and muttered to herself, "Don't take it too seriously! Good things are waiting for me now that I've made it through such a huge incident. Good fortune awaits me..."

As soon as she opened her eyes, her hands trembled a little and she almost dropped the phone into the water. Thankfully, she caught it before it fell in but she inadvertently brushed her wound. It was clear that she felt the pain and she unconsciously reached out to touch her back. She had no idea how bad her wound was but she felt unpleasant about it.

She got up, took a shower, and went straight to bed. That night, she kept tossing and turning.

Alicia woke up the next morning and felt that her eyelids were twitching.

She sensed that something bad was going to happen. She could not help but sigh. Was something bad going to happen again?

She felt a little uneasy and quickly sat up in bed to text Frederick. She reminded him to pay attention to his health and safety. Nothing else was more important than the person itself.

No matter what happened, there would always be a way out. Humans, however, only had one life!

After receiving his reply, only then she headed downstairs to make breakfast while she applied a hot pack on her eyes. Then, she went to work in high spirits.

The morning was calm and everything was going very smoothly at work. Hence, Alicia put this matter behind her.

Alicia was in high spirits after waking up from her afternoon nap when she realized that Frederick would be home that night. She switched on her computer and began studying the new products that the company had brought out. She also emailed a list of new product recommendations to the customers after going through the customers' preferences. As for the new customers, she complied a list of advantages of the new products in hopes that she would be able to gain new clients.

She was immersed in her work when she suddenly received a call via the intercom. "Alicia, please come to Conference Room 3 immediately!"

Giselle's voice raised as she spoke. She looked righteous and angry, as if she wanted to tear her apart.

"Did you know that your actions not only affected your colleagues, but also our department's reputation? It has definitely affected this meeting and may even interfere with the work of the other departments in this company! Do you have any idea how much loss it would cause the company?"

Liane shot her a sideways glance and spoke up as well.

"When did you steal my work? Where's your professionalism? I was the one who translated WDW-2. Look at this, the first five pages are exactly the same as mine! Every single word! You don't even have to read the rest of the documents. We even have the same number of pages! Don't tell me you only translated the attachments!. The director even praised you for being professional, concise and comprehensive when you obviously plagiarized my work! You ought to give an explanation! What actually happened?"

Alicia frowned when she saw that she was receiving weird looks from the people in the room. They were making it sound like she was wholly responsible for the company's losses. She'd been a translator for so long, and this was the first time she'd heard of translations being plagiarized. In fact, how could their translations be exactly the same?

She had clearly worked overtime in order to submit her work before the deadline. She even made sure to check her work before she handed them in. How could it be possible that she had plagiarized Liane's work?

The company's email was a shared email. It made it convenient for everyone to share information with each other. However, the document folder which she had uploaded her work into could only be accessed by the managers!

If this work was not the one translated by her, it could only mean that one of the managers was up to something. Someone was actually

framing her!
