"Frederick..." It cost that man 300,000 dollars and it was just an ordinary hug. Frederick's body was tensed and his eyes were as ferocious as a beast. It was as if he was going to fight that man to death. Carson only felt that Frederick was overreacting to it.
Frederick looked like a wolf that was on the verge of starving and had his food taken away by others. At that moment, his eyes were full of maliciousness.
Carson's interruption brought Frederick back to his senses in an instant. The anger that he felt seemed to have disappeared instantaneously.
Alicia cto her senses and pushed Jeremy away with all her strength. She shot him a death glare and turned around to run off the stage.

"Be careful-" "Thank you!" Alicia exclaimed while she looked up only to be surprised again. "You again?" After helping her up, Marshall retracted his hand and doted on her with a smile. Tve been waiting for you for a long time. Can I have a dance with you?" She could feel that he wasn't ill- intended. However, it was weird as he was acting so passionately towards her! Frowning slightly, Alicia glanced at him and said, "I think the person you are looking for isn't me." She didn't know him at all! Marshall leaned forward slightly and replied, "I'm looking for you!" It was his first tto be so tempted by a woman. Marshall was filled with excitement and he felt like he was full of vitality.
Alicia only felt that he was a weirdo and she told him straight, "But, I don't want to dance with you!" She turned around and was ready to leave, but her wrist was grabbed by someone. "Hey-" At the stime, another cold voice sounded, "Ally!" Alicia's body trembled a little while her face turned pale in an instant.
Just as Frederick and Carson had taken a few steps forward, a seductive voice could be heard. "Frederick! I've been looking for you..." In the blink of an eye, Hannah strode over and held Frederick's muscular arm.
She said coquettishly, "Frederick, what were you doing? I didn't mind it when you were late to vote for me, but why didn't you bid for the tie which I have purposely picked for you? Master Vives, you are too bad!" How could he let her dance with an old man? Pulling Frederick's arm, Hannah dragged him and added, "Frederick, let's dance together!" Before Frederick could say anything, Alicia had already dragged Marshall back to the dance floor. "You wanted to dance with me, right?" Alicia brought him to the dance floor. Marshall was so elated that he couldn't cback to his senses. Did she just save him a few hundred thousand dollars? "Hey-" Just as he wanted to ask for her name, Alicia coldly rebuked him and added, "Don't talk! This is extra for you. If you want to talk, then I'll leave!" Seeing her being upset, he knew that she was being emotional.
Was it because of the man moments ago? Did they know each other? He called her Ally, didn't he? Was he her boyfriend? Thinking about it, he felt that his conclusion was wrong because he seemed to have voted for another woman! Besides, looking at Alicia, he felt that she was beautiful yet delicate. She should be quite young too. Looking at her from a close distance while smelling her faint fragrance, Marshall felt really thrilled. She was too gorgeous that he was unwilling to take his eyes off her! He could stare at her beauty for even million years! In that instant, Marshall felt that way about her! He had seen all kinds of women, chubby and thin, tall and short. For the first time, he got inexplicably excited just at the first sight of a woman and had the urge to take care of her.
The song was coming to an end when Marshall uttered, "Ally...1 In a trance, she seemed to have heard his voice. She raised her eyes and pulled back her hand angrily. "Who allowed you to callthat?" "Don't be mad! Tellthen, what's your name?" He felt that she was like a kitty. How could she get angry so easily? "What does it have to do with you?" In a bad mood, Alicia replied in a rush. She turned around and strode away while thinking to herself, "What the hell is going on today? I'm so unlucky!" As soon as she squeezed out of the crowd, Victoria ran over.
"Oh, my dear baby, what's going on today? Why is he here? I'm really proud of you! Are you okay?" Shaking her head, Alicia looked devastated.
Victoria continued comforting her, "What do you mean by that? Forget it, let's not talk about him! Don't be upset! You didn't lose at all. Your design was marvelous! Unfortunately, we don't have enough connections! Perhaps, we just have no fate with Master Nirva! But, your talent is obvious to everyone!" Victoria then gave her a big thumbs-up. "Let's go. I'll treat you to supper as a celebration!" Alicia was not in a good mood. In fact, she didn't want to go. She didn't want to spread her bad vibes to Victoria. As soon as she was about to say something, Victoria's cell phone rang.
"All right, all right, isn't it just a plate of crayfish? I don't want to eat it! I'm going to accompany my friend today! I don't mind you savingone!" "Let's meet again another day!" Hearing that she seemed to have an appointment with friends, Alicia muttered, "Go ahead! I want to go htoo. I'm a little tired!" Victoria blinked her eyes in query, then Alicia nodded again.

After that, Victoria spoke into the phone, "Okay! I will be going there right away! Leavetwo plates, one By Leave met spicy and another one plain-flavored! Don't eat my share!" After Victoria hung up the phone, she turned to Alicia.
"My friends are going to have crayfish! Why don't you cwith me? They are quite nice one of them is a photographer and he is really handsome! What do you think?" "No! I'm a little tired. You go ahead! I haven't been feeling well recently, thus I can't eat seafood..." "Alright then! Let's meet another day! The restaurant is always crowded and it's hard to even get into the queue.
I have to leave now. Let's get out of here together!" With this, the two of them went out together.
When they were about to go their separate ways, Jeremy suddenly cout. When their eyes met, both their of them stopped in their tracks.
Seeing this, Victoria patted her on the shoulder and spoke to her. "I'll be going then!" Alicia then returned to her senses and was about to leave. That instant, Jeremy went forward and muttered, "Ally..." "Don't call me! You are not qualified to callby my nickname! Stay away from me!" Alicia was furious and annoyed. When Jeremy's eyes fell on her ear, Jeremy's face softened.
"You are still as bad-tempered as before. You are always chasing people away when you are unhappy." X A sharp pain pierced into her heart and Alicia tried hard to suppress the raging emotions in her heart. "Don't speak as if you knowvery well! The Alicia you knew is dead since long ago!" Jeremy was shocked by her indifferent tone. When he raised his head, he saw that Alicia had already turned around and ran away. He was about to chase after her when another enraged male voice sounded behind him. "Alicia-"
