Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 307

People said silence was golden. Apparently, it was true!

For a moment, Chet felt regretful. He had been struggling and couldn't predict if Alicia would be late for lunch. Therefore, when Frederick started eating, he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Little did he know that the end result would be the same. He was wrong whether he said it or not. As a result, Chet was despised.

He coughed lightly as he slumped his shoulders. "Miss Blanchard is really clever! It is perfectly understandable why she is doing this."

As Frederick's frown finally relaxed, a small touch of amusement appeared in his eyes. "Of course!"

How could his woman be ordinary?

It seemed that he would have to make an appointment if he wanted to meet his own wife from then on!

But thinking back to the previous phone call, Frederick had another slight headache. Once out of the elevator, the conversation between the two turned to business matters.

"By the way, let's have another meeting this afternoon about the new W series. Let's study the follow-up promotion. I've read the product report. The high- end design breakthrough exceeds expectations, and it just happens that a large industry exhibition is coming up. We better take this opportunity to hit the ground running and widen the gap. This way, we will be at the forefront of the industry. Our company will also get more advantages. It doesn't matter if the price is higher. After all, discerning eyes can tell greatness from mediocrity, especially certain large enterprises, national key research institutes, and schools. Such places have lots of money."

"Okay, I will inform the Sales Department to focus on these target markets."

Another day passed in the blink of an eye. Alicia finished her work ten minutes earlier before leaving the office. After checking the manuscript, she took out a mini mirror and started to fix her makeup.

As for the pile of documents on her desk, it had been reduced to half. She swept over the last few papers from the corner of her eye, waiting for the owner to take them away. Not long after, Lina, a colleague, hurried over.

"Alicia, did you get Kyson Clark to sign my domestic transfer-sales order?"

Glancing over, Alicia said absently to Lina, "Oh, that! You haven't sent me the sales department's phone number, how can I make the request on your behalf? Who is Kyson Clark, by the way?"

With that, Lina blushed. Then, she scuffled off to find her order list. "Is your mouth for show? If you didn't know, why didn't you ask?"

Taking the list, she then rushed all the way out the door at a trot.

Behind her, Alicia leaned into the chair and pursed her lips. Her mouth was indeed for show!

Looking in the mirror, she applied her lipstick. She was in a good mood!

Just as she closed the lipstick cap, Liane approached her. "What are you doing? I don't care if you didn't make a copy of my documents, but how dare you get it on the floor? The order is all messed up! Do you know how troublesome it is to organize documents without serial numbers?"

Glancing at the scattered folders on the floor, Alicia shushed in mock surprise.

She said in an unconcerned manner, "Yikes! It's a mess, isn't it? I didn't do it! You should find Lina! She just came over to pick up her document. Is it very troublesome? Too bad I don't know how to do it. Besides, I have a date tonight, so I can't help you..."NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

Glaring at Alicia, Liane got so exasperated. However, because she was in a hurry to get off work, she scuffed her way back to her seat with the documents in her arms.

Alicia would no longer pay attention to them. She then went back to packing while averting her gaze. Her mind was still pondering what to do next. She planned to go to the hospital after work and then eat. If there was spare time, she might get herself a doll from the claw machine before going home.

After moments of dawdling, she found out that the files on her desk that had been piling up all day were almost cleared. At that, she beamed.

Sure enough, they were all trying to bully her. She wondered who would still dare to bully her from then on. After all, everything had its vanquisher. Despite the fact that her coworkers dared to order her, no one dared to put their work on hold!

Just then, a single-wrapped cookie was suddenly thrown onto her desk. When Alicia looked up, she saw Grace Johnson, another colleague, winking and smiling at her through the glass partition, lifting her hand behind the papers showing a thumbs up.

Sitting up straight, Alicia returned a light smile. She even picked up the cookie, tore it open, and mouthed 'thank you'.

Alicia was clearly ostracized in this

department. She didn't know how

she ended up in such a situation. Still, Grace was the only one who

et

didn't tell her what to do or give her a hard time. Moreover, she could tell that Grace wasn't very senior Apparently, her status was also slightly lower than the others. Therefore, although Grace was friendly to her, their relationship was not close.

She was well aware of what was going on. Cliques within

departments and colleagues would occur regardless of the size of an organization. Back at JT Translation Services, Alicia was closer to her. own department colleagues and much closer to Daisy and Miriam. Therefore, if Grace were to be close to her in such a situation, it would only mean that Grace was distancing herself from the other colleagues. Grace's situation would not end up any better!

After all, Alicia was an outside employee. It was already a happy thing that she could have such a colleague who was kind to her, in addition to her male colleagues. She didn't want to make things difficult for anyone.

Even though the two of them had a good relationship, they had a tacit mutual understanding.

Just as Alicia was enjoying her cookie, the landline on her desk rang again. She had just said hello when the familiar voice on the other end said, "Give me a minute. We'll have dinner at six?"

Pouting, Alicia's hand went to the keyboard again out of habit.

"What did you say? I'm afraid I can't make it today! I'm too busy. I've got a lot of work to finish and I might have to stay for work! Besides, Daisy has invited me for noodles. Maybe next time? Tell me earlier next time!"

Who would want to wait for him? Who would care to have dinner with him? What she wanted to do at this moment was to cut a few holes in him! Alicia complained inwardly.

Looking up from his paperwork, Frederick narrowed his eyes. "Do you have that much work?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

With such a response, Alicia

mentally cursed Frederick again. Did Frederick think she would be content

if he brought her into his company and had her get paid for nothing? She did nothing but sh*t work every day! Not only did she have nothing todo every day, but she also had to deal with a lot of annoying mess!

Pouting, Alicia clicked her mouse and made some sounds as if she was swamped. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now! I want to get off work early. If someone catches me talking on the phone, they'll make complaints again. I'm hanging up now..."

After Alicia said that in a fake fearful tone, she hung up again without waiting for a reply from the other side.

With less than five minutes before her shift ended, Alicia quickly cleared her desk and packed her belongings. On the calendar board, she then drew a smiley face.

"A beautiful day is finally over!"

As soon as the bell rang, Alicia shut down her computer and picked up her purse. In her five-centimeter high heels, she then thumped her way to the

door.

Meanwhile, a swarm of envious and jealous eyes watched her from behind as if they wanted to pierce through her.

She was already out of the door while everyone else was still occupied. She was able to totally ignore the dissenting voices in the background.
