Chapter 879
Also, there was the prescription of the contraceptive needle.
There was a buzz in her head and she felt faint. She instinctively closed her eyes.
"Alicia? Are you ok?"
"Alicia, are you not feeling well? Why do you look so pale?"
"Do you want to go to the hospital and have a check-up?"
Alicia suddenly came to her senses and took a cup of water from the shop assistant. She took a sip and said, "I'm fine. I've just been too busy recently and I'm a little tired."
"You should go home and rest then. It's not the weekend. Mary and I will be able to look after the shop."
As her mind was in a mess, she forced a smile. Then, Alicia nodded and said, "Well, I'll be leaving then. Call me if there is anything."
Without entering the office, she turned around and left. After getting in the car, she took out her mobile phone and searched carefully for relevant news in Buranda.
This time, she was so numb that she couldn't tell what kind of feeling she had.
After closing the webpage, she booked a train ticket and then started the car.
In the First International Hotel in Buranda, Frederick finished his work and went back to his room. When he pushed the door open, he saw a woman's white leather bag on the sofa. He immediately burst into a rage and rushed in a few strides. He was so angry.
"Who allowed you to enter my room?"
In the pantry, after pouring a glass of water, Alicia was so shocked that she spilled it all over herself. She cried out and unconsciously took two steps back.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Ally?"
Frederick couldn't believe his eyes. He was obviously stunned for two seconds. He even turned his head and blinked his eyes. Then, he walked to her slowly and grabbed a towel to dry the water on her body and hands.
"It's really you. Why are you here?"
As their eyes met, she could distinctly see the shock and astonishment in his gaze. Combined with his eager reaction and gentle words, Alicia was almost able to judge what he was thinking.
"Who else do you think it was?"
Was his earlier anger aimed at her, or was he truly mistaken?
His hand stopped moving, and even Frederick could sense the change in her tone. He blinked slowly, but he felt guilty and dared not look straight at her.
"Nothing. I thought there was some unknown woman trying to get in my pants again. You know, even the most upscale hotels inevitably have people of the sort. It's very annoying!"
He muttered before he raised his hand and gently pinched her cheek, asking, "Have you eaten? Why didn't you tell me that you're coming over?"
Alicia had come to seek the truth!
Looking straight at him, Alicia swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth then shook her head gently.
Frederick caressed the hair on the side of her face and gently tucked it behind her ear. His voice was so soft. "Then, I'll take you to dinner first."
When they headed out, Alicia had changed into a new set of clothes and went downstairs with him. On the way, she deliberately stuck to him and ate in the hotel's restaurant.
She thought Frederick would refuse her, but he was still as gentle and considerate to her as he used to be. Even in public, he didn't avoid her. Along the way, Alicia's heart began to beat like a drum.
If he really came for a business trip with Danica, they must have been together. However, he was treating her so nicely. Wouldn't the waiters and the hotel staff feel surprised to see another woman like her around Frederick? What about him? What was on his mind?
With all these doubts, Alicia no longer knew what to do.
At this moment, all her doubts were almost answered, but she was not sure anymore.
Alicia was afraid. She was afraid
that her random suspicion or her intuition would put a gap between the two of them. At this moment, nothing was more important to her than Frederick! Slowly, her mind started to change. As long as he did not abandon her, she would still give him a chance to redeem himself even if he really made a mistake.
Alicia felt a little ashamed of her endless forgiveness for him. However, her heart was already uncontrollably occupied by him just as she only had eyes for him.
Nothing was more precious to her than Frederick.
In the restaurant, she chose a
conspicuous position. She ate a lot of food, but she was very silent. He even served some food for her, and judging from her expression, he could guess why she was here. However, he was already prepared for it. His contract with Danica was kept secret.
He had made it clear that if they really met, Danica must make a concession. This was one of the conditions he had set in order to fulfill her dream, and he relied on this condition.
The meal was very quiet. During that time, Frederick received two phone calls, but they sounded like normal business affairs. The calls were also very short, so Alicia had nothing to pick apart.
After dinner, Frederick naturally took her hand.
"Do you want to go out for a walk? The night view of Buranda is great. There is a small shopping street not far away. The things are not fancy, but they are quite special. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Alicia shook her head, leaned into his chest, and hugged his waist with one hand. The sense of possessiveness and strength she had when she was afraid of losing everything was written all over her face.
"Let's go back to our room, then?"
He circled her with one hand and squeezed, trying to convey his feelings to her.
Her desolation had gobbled up her smile and optimism, and all these were written directly on her face. She used to be a chatterbox whenever she was with him, but ever since the beginning of their encounter, the times she spoke were very few.
Frederick's heart ached. He felt as if he had been stabbed.
Along the way, Frederick tried to find all kinds of topics to urge her to talk. At the door of the elevator, he circled her with his arms, and Frederick even stole a sweet kiss on her cheek and ear.
In the past, she would be very angry and strongly opposed to it, but this time, she was very quiet.
"Buranda has just built a zoo with an aquarium. In the next couple of days, I will spare some time to accompany you for a visit there. What do you
say?"
With her mind full of thoughts, how could Alicia be in the mood for fun? Nevertheless, she was still very happy and nodded with a smile upon hearing his suggestion.
Soon they entered the elevator. When the elevator opened and closed, they also whispered closely to each other like a pair of eternal lovers. They were absolutely the envy of others.
Meanwhile, Danica poked her head out and took a quick glance. What she saw from the gap in the elevator door was the two of them snuggled up with each other. Even from a distance, she could feel the surging love.
In an instant, her expression changed and her eyes were ferocious. Her sharp fingernails pierced into her palm, and they almost broke.
Was this the difference between a real relationship and a fake one?
Even if it was a farce, he had never held her in his arms like this. His care for Alicia was extraordinary.
How much did he love that woman?
The reason why Frederick rejected Danica was because of Alicia. Now, he had "accepted" her temporarily because of that woman as well! Alicia! Alicia! That d*mn woman! What had she done? Jeremy was so obsessed with her, and Frederick was also head over heels for her.
