Chapter 468
Suddenly, Alicia became silent. "Is it because of Aunt Freya's problems that affected my mood? Or am I not used to him going on a business trip for this long?"
At the immediate thought of them being separated, there was a kind of indescribable sorrow and discomfort in her heart!
"What's the matter? Aren't you happy? I'm a businessman, so I'll definitely be on my guard. I won't do anything behind my wife's back!"
She was also amused by him in an instant. She giggled and replied, "I can't bear to let you leave!"
He held her tightly and lowered his head to give her a deep and lingering kiss.
At the counter, the two hugged and intimately caressed each other for a long time...
Both of them reluctantly separated from each other after eleven o'clock. After seeing him off at the door, Alicia tidied his clothes.
"Be careful while you're on the road! Don't just focus on work and take care of yourself when you're out!" She instructed.
I will!
With her concerns, Frederick sensed a warmness in his heart. He took her hand and kissed it.
"Chet will be in Casterwich. If you have any problems and can't contact me, you can call him directly! Don't go crazy, especially at night. Make sure to come back home before nine o'clock. I'll be sure to check on you from time to time!"
"I know! Besides Lovely Scent, I promise I won't go anywhere!"
Alicia held onto his fingers and was disinclined to let him go. "Frankly, I find this habit of mine a little too much at times! For some reason, I've really wanted to be with him lately," she thought.
"Then I'll be leaving now. Please lock the doors!" He said.
By the door, they bade goodbye to each other for a long time before Alicia slowly closed the door. Beside the windowsill, she watched as the car's front lights gradually faded away. She then returned to the bedside feeling lonely.
It wasn't until Frederick had arrived safely and the two of them made a phone call that Alicia got on the bed with peace of mind.
However, that day, Alicia was unknowingly in a
constant state
of panic, tossing and turning until it
was late into the night, yet she wasn't able to fall asleep...
Frederick had gone to Lesterdam City, and the two of them called each other almost everyday. Even so, it was as if Alicia's heart was always hanging in the air, and she couldn't rest easy. This kind of feeling was something she had never experienced before.
She had nowhere to go after work so she went back to Lovely Scent again.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
There were no customers, so she took this opportunity and tried to make a few perfumes by herself, but every time, there were various reasons she couldn't pour the accurate amount. The recipes she had followed were clearly precise, but she was unsuccessful a hundred times during the whole night.
After making two cups of coffee, Freya could tell that as well. "How can we be satisfied with these works if we're so agitated? Let's take a break and drink some coffee!"
She removed the gloves and mask, then Alicia sat down and took a deep breath.
"Why do you seem so upset? Is there something on your mind?" Freya asked.
"I'm uncertain if it's because of the events that happened this month, but I feel like something devastating is going to occur! Frederick is on a business trip again, and my eyelids are constantly twitching. I don' know if it's actually a premonition! Something bad is going to happen..." Alicia muttered. She felt more depressed when she realized that it was her left eye that was twitching!
"Frederick went on a business trip?" Freya's hand that was fiddling with coffee suddenly stopped. "Where did he go?"
"Lesterdam City! He said he would be gone for a week or so. Today's only the third day..."
"What's going on? Why am I continuously anxious about it?" She continued.
Dazed by her thoughts, Alicia didn't notice that Freya's eyes had slightly brightened. Instead, she continued to babble.
"Haha, I thought you were upset because of the great distance between you and Frederick! Lesterdam City is so close by, yet you already feel like you've lost your soul? It's honestly a small, temporary parting. It's really different to have a lover!"
"Aunt Freya!" Suddenly, Alicia realized that she had made her uncomfortable if she acted like that, so she quickly restrained her thoughts.
"It's not like that! In the past, he often went on business trips, so I didn't feel the same way. This time, I don't know what's going on, but I have a bad feeling about it. I'm afraid that he's in danger!"
"You silly girl!"
Freya poked her head.
"You! You're too stressed out! If you're so worried about him, why don't you take a bus to visit him? Don't worry too much about his safety, you're only going to make it worse! Besides, think about how famous he is. Even if there aren't any bodyguards accompanying him, he'll still be crowded with people. What dangerous place could he possibly go? Although the distance from Casterwich City to Lesterdam City is not that far, it isn't too close either. It should be most convenient for him to board a high-speed rail! This is considered the safest transportation vehicle, right? So what are you worried about?" She said.
Alicia rubbed her hair and responded with a smile,
"I guess that's true! Let's not talk about this anymore, Aunt Freya, are you done applying for your visa? Have you thought about where you're heading first? Or are you going directly to Ireland?"
"I've signed the documents and I'll pick it up in two weeks! Well, I'll also take this time to prepare my plans.
have to make sure that ke
won't starve to death! I'll be leaving this store to you in the future. You can keep the business going or do something entirely different! I'm leaving the choice to you!"
"I understand!"
The two of them chatted for a bit, and Alicia's mood had only improved when she received a call from Frederick. She originally wanted to stay the night, but in the end, she was chased back home by Freya. Even so, Alicia was still in a good mood when she left the shop!
As soon as the white Bentley left her line of sight, Freya picked up the phone on the side. "Do me a favor... That's right, just for three days!"
In the blink of an eye, a week was almost up. The past few days were calm and peaceful. The thought of Frederick returning in two days had gradually calmed Alicia's heart.
Unexpectedly, there was a strange visitor that day. Before it was four o'clock, she had already arrived at Lovely Scent. Originally, she wanted to have dinner with her aunt. However, as soon as she entered the door, she noticed that the store was in a mess again.
It was at that moment that her high spirits came to an end. Alicia was furious and she called out, "Aunt Freya? Aunt Freya, where are you?"
In a hurry, Alicia rushed to the back. It was then that Freya walked over while covering her forehead. "I'm here! I'm here! I'm fine, Ally..."
Seeing that she had gauze on her forehead and blood was still gushing out, Alicia was so furious that she screamed, "Did that scumbag come to pick on you again? B*stard! What a beast! They're looking down on us! I'm calling Chet!"
Alicia placed her belongings on the ground and pulled out her phone. However, Freya quickly held her back before she had dialed the number. "No, it's not what it seems! Don't be impulsive; it was just two guests arguing. I accidentally bumped into them! It wasn't Kianna! If you don't believe me, take a look at the monitor. The police just dealt with it and they have reconciled in private!"
She continuously denied it, but the more Freya did, the angrier Alicia became. She was also certain that they were taking it too far. The both of them had already given in, yet they still didn't know how to stop. They were clearly taking advantage of others for their own benefits!
She supported Freya to the side and they both sat down. Despite not saying anything, she had inwardly decided to seek justice for her!
At this moment, Frederick had returned from a business meeting. As soon as he entered the hotel, he saw a pair of familiar figures who were closely walking into the elevator...
