Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Danica thought that Frederick would have changed the way he treated her after knowing the miserable truth. She stayed at home, waiting for Frederick to reach out to her. Surprisingly, there weren't any calls coming in. She was shocked! How was that possible? That day, Danica looked at her phone again and again. "Nothing! Not even a message!" she thought.

She feared that she was too aggressive, therefore she stopped herself from calling Frederick. But, deep down, she was as anxious as a cat on hot bricks.

Meanwhile, in the CEO's office of Soaver International, Frederick worked surprisingly efficiently ever since he made up with Alicia. Plus, several projects that had been signed smoothly further raised his mood to another height.

Returned from a meeting, he contentedly brewed a cup of coffee. He watered the flowers and personally trimmed the branches.

Entering the office, Chet couldn't help but glance at him a few times. Why was Frederick in such an elated mood? Looking at the pot of jasmine Frederick was trimming, Chet felt puzzled.

"I have reviewed the financial report for this month. It is better than our expectations!" "Great!" Returning to his seat, Frederick took out a pen and signed the document. Then, he handed the report back to Chet and said, "Good job! Reward those who deserve it." Chet nodded. Before going out, Chet glanced at him again. It seemed that he was in a good mood compared to days ago.

"By the way, Crouch Construction's bidding has been enlisted! My guess is that they will win the bid. I have also asked someone to negotiate with Graham. The samples he gave us are indeed premium grade and his offer price was lower than the market price. When the tcomes, if their products don't meet our requirements, they would have to compensate us. The Crouch family will suffer a big loss! I think they have gone crazy thinking about profit! They really are going all-in for this." What a stupid thought! How were they willing to take such significant risks? It's a massive bet on their own reputation! Chet thought to himself.

"Anyway, there will be someone to tender it, just let them be! The manufacturer who takes over will have to review again then. Just make sure they are not holding us back! Then, we'll be fine." "Understood. I used another project to call for bids and it should be in process now." Looking at Frederick walking back to his seat with the coffee he brewed, Chet couldn't help but ask, "Frederick, you seem... so elated. Is it because your private affairs have been settled?" Chet actually wanted to ask, "Is it over between you and Miss Randolph?" While looking at Chet, Frederick stirred the coffee. "Yeah! I feel... great recently!" Everything had cleared up. Life seemed to be perfect at that moment! If life could last like this forever, it would be really satisfying. It would be perfect if Alicia and Frederick had a child with them! Thinking of having a child, Frederick was stunned again.

His childhood actually affected him greatly. If it wasn't for Mrs. Clements that always said that she wanted to have a grandchild, he wouldn't even think of having one at all! At least, he wanted his life to stay like this for the tbeing.

Frederick was actually not confident about his relationship with Alicia. No matter how intimate they were, their love bubble would still pop eventually. His parents were once so deep in love too.

Besides, the way how he and Danica ended their relationship had caused slingering fears in his heart.

In Frederick's mind, he could do anything as long as he learned from his mistakes and never give up. However, having a child was different.

If Frederick had a child, he must protect him and give him a complete and harmonious growing environment no matter what happens.

Therefore, Frederick would only consider having children when everything was stable.

Currently, Frederick hoped to deepen his bond with Alicia. Only then would they consider having a baby.

"What about Miss Randolph? What if she was telling the truth?" What if she begged again? Wouldn't Frederick feel sorry for her? Frederick sighed and replied to Chet.

"I feel sorry for what happened to her but I can't let Alicia suffer because of Danica's misfortune. The best I can do is to take care of her!" But, Frederick wouldn't sacrifice what he and Alicia had again. Danica's misfortune was sympathetic but it was not Alicia's fault. Other than Danica, Alicia also needed him.

Listening to Frederick's words, Chet nodded. "I admire you! You care about everything around you and you never hesitate on anything!" Chet knew that he was following the right person. Besides having a great sense of accomplishment, he really did learn a lot from Frederick.

They made a toast with their coffee before taking a sip as if it was a scene from a superhero's movie.

"Oh, yes. I almost forgot! It is East Bannpool's tenth anniversary in a few days. They have planned large-scale activities for a celebration that lasts for a week. Master Bowles called. He had specially arranged a day for all the VIPS and asked us to attend!" "Okay. Remindagain later!" Meanwhile, Alicia was busy with her work every day. Excluding Jeremy's and Lindsay's occasional harassment, Alicia's life seemed to be back on track again.

Even since her relationship with Frederick went well, she felt relieved. Not to mention that she had solved her own inancial crisis too. Her face was glowing. This caused her to be harassed by a lot of men and was the gossip of her colleagues. Even so, she was used to dealing with them.

She even dealt with crazier pursuits before.

There was a guy at St. Abbott University. He cwith roses in his car and waited for Alicia at the gate for seven days straight. Sguys would block her way and swould E pay for everything she bought.

Almost every week, there would be sguy there to get her. Initially, she enjoyed that treatment until she eventually felt annoyed one day. When something happened to her family, not only no one helped her they even aggravated her condition. When they were pursuing her, they said a lot of sweet things such as, "I can't live my life without you!" But, when things went south, they just abandoned her.

Therefore, at present, Alicia refused to give her number away. If the people who asked insisted, she had no choice but to give. Yet, she would neglect any messages or calls from them.

Of course, the number she gave was actually one she purposely bought and placed in her old phone. It only cost her ten dollars per month to keep herself away from harassment.

One day, after finishing her work, Alicia went to make herself a cup of Seat, herm tea. Sitting back in her seat phone rang. It was Marshall who was calling in. Upon looking at his name, Alicia answered without hesitation as they had been discussing her father's operation for a while now. "Doctor Clark!" Alicia greeted upon answering the phone.

"Miss Blanchard, your father is awake!" X
