Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 374

"Are you stupid? Why don't you submit a request to the manager? Do you think Mr. Clements has the time to care about these things?

"But I really need the money! I've worked in the company for eight years! And I want to have an advance of two years worth of salary. I'm afraid that if I don't make it clear, the management will not agree! The manager told me that I can at most request 3 months of salary advance! I want to personally talk to Mr. Reynes or even Mr. Clements! I desperately need the money!"

"You're right! Why don't you give it a try? There's always a chance that it'll get approved. You need the money to save your child! Who knows, maybe the company will help you, and it'll be less of a burden! However, I suggest that you don't do it today! I heard that an important client is coming to the office this afternoon! Mr. Clements is personally greeting him! Our manager went upstairs but was told to leave! The client must be someone very important! You should not go lest you upset yourself! You won't only get frowned upon, but you'll sabotage your chances of getting what you want. You should talk to them before or after work.

"You're right!"

Unknowingly, Giselle did not follow them out of the elevator, but her gaze was fixed on them the entire time. After they left, she pressed the button of the elevator to head upstairs.

There was an important client coming to the office?

No wonder Doris emphasized that Alicia had to head over to meet Frederick after 3.30 pm and told her not to mess the timing up. Was it because she was afraid that she would bump into the client and nothing more?

Giselle returned to her department in a daze. As soon as she looked up, she could see a figure behind the glass partition. She hurriedly walked over to the desk as her high heels clicked against the floor. Each click of her heels against the floor was in sync with her accelerated heartbeat. It was knocking on her guilty conscience.

"Lillian!"

She knocked on the partition with the documents she rolled up. Alicia looked up and suddenly stood up. "Giselle, are you looking for me?"

"Mr. Clements would like to have a word with you. You have to be at his office... before 3:30 pm!"

Giselle paused halfway. After that, her heart sank as she thought to herself, "It wouldn't be a big deal if she said before instead of after, right?"

Moreover, the only difference was the word "before" and "after". Even then, she could say that she misheard!

"Okay, I know! I'll go and get ready!"

On the surface, Alicia replied respectfully. However, she was cursing Frederick in her heart. "Treacherous businessmen! What a b*stard! Was he afraid that she would refuse to see him? Hang up on him? How dare he use her manager to ask her to go to his office?"

"Alright! Don't forget! Don't keep Mr. Clements waiting! Do you know what to say?"

Once her thoughts were done, she suddenly realized that this was the main reason for her endless chatter!

She nodded and said with a smile,

"I know! You have high expectations. Not only that, everyone is working hard and is focused on their work. There is still a lot for me to learn! Once I'm done tidying my table, I will head upstairs. I will not be late!"

She was clever and smart! Giselle obviously hesitated for a moment and then replied with a "hmm" and turned to leave. However, her footsteps were hesitant on that ever-familiar path.

She sat down and looked at the time. It was nearly three.

After tidying up the table, Alicia instinctively looked in the mirror again and secretly put on lipstick. Then, she got up and walked out of the door.

Right then, upstairs, once Frederick and Mr. Nolan were done negotiating, they made their way over to Frederick's office.
