Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 362

Alicia knew this well. At this moment, she felt that Danica was starting to play up to Frederick's emotional side!

She wanted nothing more than to ask this b*tch out so that she could have a good fight with her. However, her inner voice was saying otherwise.

"You must not do it! Men are born with feelings, and they all sympathize with the weak. Especially weak women! Otherwise, why would there be so many mistresses in the world?"

She opened her eyes and tried her best to suppress the surging emotions in her heart. She said to herself, "I'm clearly in a much better position than her. Why must I stoop down to her level and create so much fuss?"

"I must do something about this, but it all depends on the level of fuss I create!"

She muttered to herself. She had to come up with a way to solve this matter rather than venting out her frustrations by destroying the painting! She had to find a way to solve this once for all!

Alicia then stared at the screen in front of her, with the word report staring back at her. She sat up straight and began typing away.

On the other side, Frederick had finally returned to his office after the meeting. The first thing that caught his eyes when he entered the office was the painting. It was back in its initial packaging as it leaned against the wall neatly. He could not help but feeze when he saw the painting.

Why didn't she destroy the painting? Did she scribble over the painting or something?

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Frederick walked towards the painting and unwrapped the painting. The painting was actually still intact, with not a single scratch. His heart was almost instantly overwhelmed by an unspeakable emotion.

She didn't...

Sure enough, Alicia's not like the other women!

A trace of unspeakable guilt emerged in his heart in an instant as he thought to himself, "What am I going to do with this painting?"

He frowned and was in dilemma when Doris came in with a pile of documents in her hands. She said, "Mr. Clements, these are the notes from the meeting just now. There are also some documents from various departments that need your approval!"

"Alright."

He motioned for Doris to place the documents on his table. Then, he pointed to the painting and instructed, "Doris, can you please help me pack up that painting? And also put it somewhere unimportant."

He just did not know what to do with the painting!

"By the way, can you go collect the International Department's reports tomorrow? I want to go through them."

"Yes, Mr. Clements! If there's nothing else, I'll excuse myself first."

As soon as Alicia heard the bell ring that signaled the end of the workday, she quickly packed up her things. After experiencing what had happened, she realized one thing. If she didn't try to please anyone, she would not have gotten into so much trouble!

Originally, the day should have been happy. But because of the company's matter, she was so upset that she wanted to go ballistic!

Although Alicia left the office early, she did not feel like heading home. She had tried to contact a few of her friends, but they were all busy, so she had nowhere to go. Alicia was really annoyed, so she decided to drive straight to the arcade.

As soon as she arrived, she quickly exchanged her money for tokens. Unexpectedly, when she looked up, she saw that Marshall was also there. She quickly made her way over to Marshall and greeted him. "Doctor Clark? What a coincidence! What are you doing here so early?"

It seemed that Marshall did not expect to bump into her. He was stunned for a moment, and then he caught a glimpse of the shining diamond ring on her ring finger.

He withdrew his gaze and then continued on with his game.

It was obvious that he was trying to ignore her. Alicia's hand was still hanging in mid-air. She also saw the diamond ring on her ring finger. With a flash of realization, she suddenly realized something and turned to Marshall unconsciously.

Was he in a bad mood? Was he not happy to see her?

She did not give him a heads up about Frederick on the day she went to pick up her father from the nursing home. Unexpectedly, the two men met each other on that day. His cold and strange attitude suddenly flashed in her mind, and Alicia felt that something was amiss.
