It wasn't important if it was true or not. Danica just wanted the suspicion, estrangement, and cracks between Frederick and Alicia! Perhaps, she did not care about Frederick's thoughts at all. She just wanted Alicia to think that they were incompatible, to misunderstand each other, and even to break up! A sudden thought cto her mind. She felt as if she was being played and manipulated. Since Danica couldn't find a breakthrough from Frederick, she decided to take action against Alicia instead. Taking a deep breath, Alicia felt that she was still mentally weak. If she'd been more rational, she would've noticed that things were off right from the get go. They would have fought, and Doris wouldn't have witnessed such a scene. If they'd been seen by any other employee, there'd be rumors everywhere! "What're you thinking about? You didn't even hearcall you. Aren't you hungry?" He called her ntwice, but she didn't respond at all.
He embraced her and said, "Wash your hands, it's tto eat!" "The faucet is broken, isn't it?" She suddenly cto her senses and said in a softer voice.
"That's why we'll have to make do with the water in the bucket." Alicia saw a bucket at the sink and washed her hands with a smile. She also wiped her face. Fortunately, she didn't put on any mascara that day because she'd gotten up late. Otherwise, she would have looked terrible.
The corners of her mouth twitched in front of the mirror. She rubbed her reddened eyes and walked out happily. Frederick had already set up the food at the table. He gave her the tableware and said, "Here, eat more!" Her performance that day was amazing! His actions made her sad, which gave Frederick mixed feelings. He said to her, "You're the smartest woman I have ever seen! I'm very happy to be with a smart woman!" At the stime, he felt comfortable! Looking at the food on the table, Alicia couldn't wait to dig in. She was already about to drool.

Frederick picked up a juicy lobster and cracked open the shell before handing it to her.
Looking at the lobster, Alicia's eyes were shining, "Hubby, let's share this!" Alicia split the lobster in half and handed one half to Frederick. She stuffed the other half into her mouth and immediately narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
Frederick did not eat the whole thing but instead cut it into smaller pieces elegantly and put them onto her plate. He looked at her and asked, "Does it happen often? I mean in your department... Do you get bullied often?" This was his first tpatrolling around the company like that, and yet he'd already managed to encounter something like that. Recalling how she'd been forced into a corner, standing tall but still pitifully small, Frederick's temper started to rise.
It was obvious that the higher-ups were biased. Did she go through this all this while? While enjoying the lobster, Alicia blinked her eyes and thought to herself. This sounded like a good opportunity for her to leave. After witnessing what had happened, it was unlikely that he would disagree! However, at this moment, Alicia did not want to mention it. It was not that she did not want to leave, but she did not want to leave at this time! Even if she wanted to leave, she wanted to leave in an upright manner. She didn't want to be judged and ridiculed.
After thinking for a while, she decided not to mention it. It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble. "It's nothing much! Actually, it's all right!" Apart from making her run errands at first, there was basically nothing left for her to do now. Therefore, it was really fine.
"This time, it's my bad luck! Fortunately, I'm safe! I'll be fine after finishing this lobster." Halfway through eating the lobster, Alicia frowned again! Seeing that she didn't finish the lobster, it was obvious that she had lost her patience. Frederick knew her habit, so he quickly peeled another piece of tobster for her. Then, he finished the rest.
Seeing the smile on her face, Frederick felt a deep sting in his heart. His mind was filled with the image of her crying in a corner just now.
It was true that she was too sensible. Sometimes, being too sensible hurt him to the core! After finishing the lobster, Alicia was satisfied. She started eating the other food on the table. Beside her, Frederick was helping her cut her food into smaller pieces while talking to her.
Although the meal arrived later than usual, both of them enjoyed the meal very much! When the meal was over and they packed up, it was already almost half past one! Looking at the time, the corner of Alicia's lips drooped and she said regretfully, "I can't take an afternoon nap...' If the incident with Danica hadn't happened, she could have taken a 30 minute nap. She had this habit of taking a short nap in the afternoon so that she would have energy later. Moreover, she was really tired and felt like sleeping! Pulling her onto his lap, Frederick couldn't help but chuckle.

He could see how tired she was. He pinched her cheek and said, "You hard don't have to work so hard! I'll take take f you! Later, Kask Chet to care of apply for a supplementary card for you in case of emergency!" Frederick was wondering if he had given her too little things, which made her feel insecure. Frederick was no ordinary person after all. Alicia had never thought of getting a supplementary card from him. Frederick grabbed her hand all of a sudden.
"I've already gotten someone to
check out the dates. It's a bit too rushed for us to get things done in the first half of the year, so I've picked October 10th for our wedding, and we'll have it at the mountain villa. The e weather will be just nice! I think we should just have friends and family, so we don't have to bother with so many guests. I just want everybody important to know that you're my wife. If you want to have a huge, grand wedding, we can have a few more ceremonies after this. Starting from now on, you'll have to cut down on the alcohol. Once I'm clean of smoking and drinking, we can have a baby. Okay?" He kissed her on her hand. Frederick had shared all of his plans.
"I've already contacted a few wedding dress designers. In a few days, the designs will be sent over, You have plenty of tto make a decision. I wasn't able to give you a normal start, so I'll make sure the wedding is perfect. Just like our life together in the future!" Alicia hooked her arms around his neck and said with tears in her eyes, "Okay. I'll listen to you! I will take good care of myself and be your most beautiful bride!" X
