Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 394

Therefore, that day's main characters were not these elites in the business world, but instead, they were the ones who had relationships with those in power and who could control people's decisions. What Mr. McGowan meant earlier was probably hinting that news would emerge next month!

These few people chatted casually, and although they spoke softly, they were actually exchanging secrets and information that was hidden from the public. Some had partners with them, but they were all only there for accompaniment and they just smiled throughout the event. Alicia, listening to them, understood but pretended not to understand. She only took a sip of her drink now and then, and did not speak too much.

At that moment, Mr. Johnson from Linke Real Estate Group suddenly spoke up.

"I've heard that Mr. Clements always had a special insight, being swift and decisive, but I never knew that your taste in women is great too. What a great pair and how envious I am! Mr. McGowan..."

After Mr. Johnson cued him, the spotlight fell on Mr. McGowan, and they noticed that his gaze fell on the person beside Frederick. It was obvious that he was interested in someone.

Those who knew him would know that he was very much a pervert. He was just slightly low-key as compared to others, but in reality, it was just an act to cover up.

However, the fact that he could still hold such a status in society meant that he was still a person of experience. With a chuckle, Mr. McGowan said without embarrassment, "That's right! Mr. Clements indeed has great taste and luck!"

Normally, after hearing such a response, one would know what they should do. Frederick sneered, then wrapped his arms around Alicia's slender waist.

"Indeed, great minds think alike!"

Frederick felt annoyed as he peered at Mr. Johnson with his dark gaze, thinking to himself, "The intention behind his rude statement was obviously to embarrass me and ruin the relationship with Mr. McGowan!"

Alicia's heart sunk a little, and naturally, she understood. She tugged on Frederick gently, stopping his thoughts. She then spoke up.

"It is my honor to be acknowledged by Mr. McGowan! A woman like me who is already taken would not be the best candidate to be brought under the spotlight, yes? Instead, a woman like

Tinley who is young, single and beautiful would attract Mr. McGowan even more, wouldn't it?"

Choosing her words, Alicia said this openly and saved both of the men's faces, while not offending Mr. McGowan. With that, the man looked at the woman who was in the crowd and laughed.

"Of course, Tinley is my idol!"

Even though he was lascivious, he still had some principles. He still understood that he could not tease his friend's wife!

Suddenly, Mr. Johnson's face turned dark. He gave Frederick a look; somehow he understood what Alicia meant.

He said, "I have quite a number of resources when it comes to connections in the film industry. Mr. McGowan, if you are interested in treating Tinley for a meal, perhaps I could make some arrangements"

Everyone knew in their hearts that Frederick still saved him some face!

"Mr. Clements, you exposed my little interest! In that case, I guess I would have to trouble you for that!" Mr. McGowan laughed and accepted it without any shame. Alicia judged him with much disdain in her heart.

This kind of situation was not unfamiliar to her. She had experienced it herself once, and was forced to listen to such conversation when she was in a storeroom inside the toilet. Throughout these years, she really got to see the world from a different perspective. Although she disagreed with them, she was not worked up. Hence, she could still smile so purely and brightly.

"Speaking of the devil!"

Following his gaze, Frederick saw a few familiar faces at the door. Trevor, Carson and a few others all came around. They walked over and the whole atmosphere became lively again. The conversation continued to be about Tinley.

Frederick, who was holding Alicia's hand, suddenly tightened his grip. He was really impressed at her intelligence.

While eating, she would look in Frederick's direction from time to time. The both of them exchanged glances occasionally. She enjoyed this quiet time, especially when she could savor some special treat and have nothing to worry about. She was very content.

Without knowing, she had made her round and came back to the starting point. It was only then that she realized that she had eaten quite a lot. She looked down at her loose skirt. She gave an enchanting smile as it did not show much of her tummy.

She had her plans all under control!

Just as she was being delighted, Alicia was about to look at Frederick to know if he had finished his discussion. However, she hit something as she spun around. She tripped and a glass of wine splashed towards her. Before she could say anything, a piece of tissue was handed over and

Carson's hand appeared.

"I'm sorry, Alicia! I didn't mean it..."

"I was thinking about something just now! I was not aware. I didn't hurt you, did I? Your clothes are dirty now! I'm so sorry!"

"Don't be mad! Don't be!"

Her good mood was completely ruined. At first, she thought she was really unlucky, but when she saw Carson, she immediately changed her thoughts, and thought of it as an accident. It wasn't really nice to vent at him either, hence she took the tissue and wiped her dress clean.

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Her white outfit was obviously stained by the red wine. Moreover, it was stained in front, and it looked really bad!

As Alicia had her head down, she didn't realize that Carson's eyes were hovering, and he kept swallowing his saliva. His tone of speech was somewhat guilty...
