Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Keeping up with her exercise routine made her body less prone to illnesses, and even if she did fall sick, there was nothing that couldn't be solved with a few pills. This was something that Alicia was proud of. At the very least, her body didn't disappoint her and didn't beca burden for her poor family. She believed that if her family members strove together, they could bring back the once happy family and their father would eventually recover! This was the reason she kept holding it in, telling herself to persevere! Thinking back, the past was truly torture but she managed to get through those unbearable three years! After suppressing all her emotions, Alicia gathered herself and went to work with a smile on her face.

That day, Alicia rushed through a few deadlines until eight o'clock at night.

She was printing documents while getting in touch with a client.

"I've emailed the e-file to you! I have also completed the remarks for the physical translation. Can I send it to you tomorrow?" The client sounded very urgent. He was at a nearby hotel and had a plane to catch at midnight. Looking at the time, it wasn't too late yet. Therefore, at the client's request, she agreed to him.

"All right! I'll bring it to you now! Will you like a softcopy too?" "Alright!" After tidying and binding the documents, Alicia opened another document on her computer. She printed it while changing her clothes.

As they had collaborated a few times before, Alicia was more at ease, but from what she knew, Celesta Clubhouse was a high-class club. Their KTV was also very famous but they had an immoral reputation. Out of vigilance, she brought with her speppermint candy, a bottle of water, and a box of pills when she left, just to be safe.

It was best to be cautious to ensure safety. A lone woman outside was at a disadvantage. She understood her own situation, hence she had learned to be cautious. Whenever she was out handling affairs, she would be very careful. She would always think it through and be cautious.

Once she arrived at Celesta Clubhouse, she quickly got in touch with the collaborator, James Stewart.

The two of them met at the lobby and Alicia was relieved after she handed him the documents. "Mr. Stewart, is everything fine? If there are any mistakes, you can ctoanytime!" She had even brought her laptop along with her.

"Miss Blanchard, you are really efficient. You produce neat work and you're very earnest about your work, I really admire you!" James nodded after going through a few main points. "No problem!" Following that, James took out his wallet and passed her three thousand dollars. "This is the payment for the translations! I'm sorry to trouble you, Miss Blanchard!" Happily putting away the money, Alicia put out her hand.

"I should be the one to thank you for your care, Mr.Stewart! If there's work like this in the future, remember to refer them to me! As you know it, the prices of properties are extremely high nowadays and I only have my mother. I really need the money!" "Of course! If you didn't identify the mistake in the contract the last time, my losses would be more than one million dollars!" James was very hearty and shook Alicia's hand. Suddenly, he remembered something.

"Something just rang a bell, I almost forgot! When I was having dinner with a friend, he said that he had a Spanish manuscript on hand and wanted to get it translated as he was having a hard treading it! Miss Blanchard, can you translate it? It's just two pages and he could pay you one thousand dollars! He's a proprietor and amounts like this are spare change to him! But, his document should be quite important. You cannot bring it away, you can only translate it on his laptop! I think he brought a laptop with him..." Only two pages of Spanish shouldn't be too much.

In that instant, Alicia broke into a smile.

"No problem, I can translate Spanish! Since I'm already here, please make the inquiry for me! Please, Mr. Stewart!" One thousand dollars did not seem much to others-it could just be a few pieces of clothes to them. But to her, they were two infusion bottles. That was a lot.

"Okay, wait a minute!" Turning around, James went to make the call.

"...Alas, don't you trust me? The translator I recommend is definitely a professional! She has professional ethics! Anyway, if she really understood the entire document after translating it once, wouldn't we have long been jobless then? Why would they even remain as translators then, they should just becgods!" As she was listening, Alicia's lips curled. From the looks of it, the document was confidential.

After a while, Mr. Stewart returned.

"My friend, Bruce Jackman, is in the pharmaceutical business. He's currently socializing in the KTV room. I helped you ask him and he said that he would book a private room for you to work in. You can do it or his laptop but you can't bring away those two papers. There will be someone to keep watch as the papers are important and he doesn't want any petty tricks. He is just so paranoid! Two thousand dollars for two A4-sized papers, the door would be left open and the people overlooking will also be outside. No one will disturb you and it will put you at ease. He's closing a big deal and will be on the plane at midnight, thus you don't have to be worried that anyone will mess with you!" After receiving all these assurances, Alicia nodded without hesitation.

"Okay, no problem!"

From her point of view, she could complete two A4-sized documents in an hour. As it wasn't even Ip.m!?! there were still many people around and it was still relatively safe. Alicial proceeded to follow Mr. Stewart to the KTV room.

Walking out after dinner, Jeremy sawAlicia at the stairway. From a distance, he could see her chatting happily with a man and she was receiving money. He felt really uncomfortable. When he saw them move, he went down the stairs and saw them change directions. For no reason, he just followed them.

In the aisle, Alicia met with Bruce. He was a roughlooking middle-aged man who seemed honest.

Over the years, Alicia had seen different kinds of people and she trusted her intuition. Her gut told her that this man was an honest man.

Bruce glanced at her and seemed to be a little skeptical. He spoke in Spanish, "Are you the translator? Are you sure you're not just a pretty face?" With a faint smile, Alicia's burst out in fluent Spanish.

"It's not wise to judge a book by its cover, Mr. Jackman. You must be very knowledgeable and have a sharp eye, that's why you're so successful. It's a great pleasure to meet you!" This time, Alicia took the initiative and put out her hand. She caught the spark in Bruce's eyes. Reaching out, Bruce's attitude changed.

"You're smart and eloquent! I like you! Chave a drink. You, go find a quiet room. Check it and prepare the laptop!" X
