Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Chapter 365

After thinking about it for a while, Alicia could guess that Danica wanted to paint different sides of Frederick, as well as outfits that he wore! Did she want to send him a full set?

Perhaps the next one would be one of him in his pyjamas!

Danica wanted to use this method to tell Frederick that he was engraved in her heart and mind. That was why she could accurately capture every single emotion of his.

Alicia stared at the painting as if she was looking at the man she loved. She began to feel an indescribable feeling surge through her.

The more she looked at it, the more she felt that something was fishy.

However, she could not pinpoint what was wrong. This time, she was much calmer compared to the first time when she saw the first painting. When she saw the first painting, she was shocked.

She had no clue for how long this was going to go on and what the woman's next move is going to be.

Alicia inadvertently averted her gaze, then paused on the painting. This...

She lifted the painting to her line of sight. Through the glass, she rubbed it hard, and a thought flashed through her mind. She couldn't help but smile a little.

So that was how it was!

Frederick had been waiting for an important fax document. When he entered the office, he was met with Alicia kneeling on the ground. He saw that there was another painting of him leaning on the wall opposite her.

Frederick was stunned. "Another one? Is that woman planning to be my personal painter now that she has been kicked out of the Painters Association?"

Frederick joked as he walked towards his desk. He placed the documents in his hand into the desk drawer, then picked up the phone. "My office's fax machine is broken. Can you send someone to come and look at it after lunch? Someone from the Seiya Company will be faxing over some documents at two o'clock in the afternoon. It's a copy of an agreement. Please keep an eye out for me!" After hanging up, he walked over. "I ordered eggplants, tomatoes, beef, and a fruit platter. Is there anything else you would like to eat?" Frederick pulled Alicia to her feet and glanced at her. He frowned, "It seems like giving her the cold shoulder doesn't work! I wonder for how long this is going to go on. Why didn't you destroy it?" Alicia tilted her head and gave him a sidelong glance. She asked, "Then why didn't you destroy it?"

Doris informed her that he asked her to stash it away in the storeroom!

Frederick chuckled and pulled her further into his office, "If I destroyed it, it means that I accepted it. Whether I like it or not, doesn't it mean that I appreciate her kindness?"

He did not want to deal with it at first because he did not want to get involved. Therefore, he did not touch the painting, nor did he call her to stop sending him the paintings.

Calling her would lead to leaving behind some threads. Moreover, he did not like to owe anyone any favors, especially this kind of favor.

He would rather ignore the painting and hope that she understood his message! But he did not expect that she would directly send him paintings, and she even sent them so frequently without his consent!

The strangest thing was, except for sending him paintings, she did not request for him to do anything else. She did not even call him. Since she stayed put, he didn't dare to touch these paintings. He feared that she would contact him for these paintings and cling to him in the future!

"I have no idea why she is doing this. I don't know whether it's appropriate to return the painting or burn it once and for all!"

He held Alicia's hand and explained. Then, he squeezed her hand tightly as he spoke,

"It doesn't matter what sort of painting or how many paintings she sends to me. It will not change anything! If I refused her painting, I am getting involved as well. It's not much better than ignoring it! Since you are so smart, do you think you can help me to come up with an appropriate solution?" The two of them usually chatted about their daily lives, so it was natural for them to hold the same views on certain things.

After thinking for a few seconds, Alicia tilted her head. "I suddenly realised that I made a mistake!"

"What?"

"Frederick, are you telling me that I should not have come up to have lunch?" Should she have ignored him to express her protest?

Frederick was a little speechless. He thought to himself, "She was jumping the gun, wasn't she?"

Just as he was about to say something, someone suddenly knocked on the door. Frederick went to answer the door while Alicia used the restroom. After a while, Frederick came in with their take-out and placed it on the table. They began to eat.

Alicia had always been passionate when it came to food. She enjoyed eating freshly cooked food. At the same time, she did not stop thinking.

Frederick knew that Alicia had the habit of having an afternoon nap. So, as soon as they were done with their lunch, he laid down with her on the bed and said, "Why don't you take a nap? I'll wake you up five minutes before lunchtime is over!"

"Alright!"

Alicia had specially brought an extra set of bed sheets that she normally spread out over the bed because she had make-up on and was wearing

suit. With him by her side, she felt a strange sense of security. As soon as they set the alarm, they both fell asleep. When Frederick's phone began blaring, his eyes flew open. He calmed down and looked at the time before slowly waking her up.

Alicia was afraid that she would

bump into her colleagues when she walked out of Frederick's office. So she picked up some documents written in Russian before she

el.ne

headed out the door. As soon as she was about to open the door a

thought flashed across her mind. She turned around.

"Mr. Clements..."

Frederick looked up at her blankly and heard Alicia say, "For your peace of mind, I think it's better if you hang up the painting! It is a wonderful painting after all. It's worth admiring!"

What did that mean?

By the time Frederick came to his senses, Alicia had already opened the door and strode out.

It was as if she had dropped a bomb. For a long time, Frederick's heart was tense. His eyes fell on the painting in the corner of the room and did not move for a long time.

Mr. Clements? She'd referred to him as Mr. Clements? Was she trying out some reverse psychology stuff? Or was she mad at him again? Or was she trying to tell him something?

Frederick felt goosebumps all over. He was on pins and needles.

Soon, Doris came into his office to give him an update on his afternoon schedule. Frederick was absent-minded as Doris reported his schedule. He then said, "Okay, got it!"

As he spoke, he signed the document that she had placed on his table and then handed it back to her, waving a dismissive hand.

As soon as Doris turned around and was about to leave the office, she saw the painting, still wrapped, in the corner of the room. But this time around, it was roughly covered up. She turned around and asked Frederick,

"Mr. Clements, do you want me to put this painting in the storeroom as well?"

Frederick returned to his senses when he heard Doris's question. After thinking for a while, he said, "No. I will deal with it later!"

After Doris closed the door, he felt goosebumps all over again. Should he follow Alicia's instructions or should he continue ignoring the paintings? Why'd she have to drop such a bomb before leaving?

Frederick genuinely did not know how to deal with Danica at the moment. He felt as if he was facing a great enemy. He was afraid that one wrong decision would be like adding fuel to the fire.

He picked up his phone and texted Alicia, "Alicia, what did you mean just now?"

On the other side, Alicia stared at her phone and typed out the word, "You're such an idiot!"Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

She meant what she said! Did he not understand her words at all? He might as well die of stupidity!

Frederick was even more confused when he received her reply. She called him dumb!

He was in doubt. He did not dare to handle it without authorisation. He carried the painting and placed it in the corner of the office, out of his sight.

Soon, Doris brought him the fax documents, Buring the meeting, Frederick was absentminded and could not help but think about what Alicia's words meant. As he fiddled with his phone, he subconsciously scrolled to her number and sent her a message.

"Alicia?"

It was impossible for him to grasp a woman's heart. His heart was filled with tension!

What did Alicia's words mean?
