    Chapter 50 Waiting for Me to Get Off Work


    Edmond had just been angry with Alicia in his apartment. His heart had softened the moment he


    heard Alicia say she wasing to meet him.


    He wanted to say yes.


    However, his face froze when he turned his head to see Melissa gesturing to plead in the hospital


    ward.


    Then Edmond lowered his eyes and fell silent for a moment.

    Alicia thought Edmond was silent because he didn''t want her toe over. So she was a bit upset


    about it. After all, it had taken her a lot of courage to say that she was going to see him in the


    hospital.


    She felt a little ashamed of herself. Then she quickly acted cool and said, "Forget it! I''m not going


    over there. I was just saying."


    Edmond immediately replied, "I can''t let you do it first."


    Alicia froze and asked, "Do what?"


    "To make the first move."


    Edmond paused. His tone sounded gentler than it was earlier.


    "I''ll meet you after work. Wait for me."


    For the first time, Alicia was looking forward to getting off work so badly. She was so nervous she


    kept looking up at the clock.


    It turned out that Edmond got off work at 6 p.m. just like her.


    Edmond would drive here from the hospital through two main avenues, where there were a lot of


    cars. He had to drive for at least 30 minutes to get here.


    As Alicia waited anxiously for Edmond, her secretary knocked on the door and came in to report.


    "Ms. Casey, Mr. Charles from the AQ Group called and said he''s arranged a dinner party for


    tomorrow. If you apologize to him in person with sincerity, he is willing to give ourpany the


    opportunity to work on the project."


    Alicia''s face sank.


    Matt hadn''t given up?


    The other day in Blendford City, Matt attempted to sexually harass her but was caught by Edmond


    in the act. And now he dared toe to Arnoford City?


    Alicia then immediately guessed that Matt must be the reason why the directors were condemning


    her at today''s meeting.


    The board of directors were in constant fight with each other. As an acting CEO, Alicia often felt


    exhausted, but she had to carry the burden.


    If Alicia made one more mistake, the directors may decide to reelect the CEO and set up a spy to


    devour and destroy thepany.


    Since it was thepany that Peter built with his own hands, Alicia would not allow it to be


    destroyed at her hands.


    Alicia always told herself that she was managing the group to repay Peter for raising her for so


    many years. Thus, she gritted her teeth every time she had to deal with those people she didn''t like.


    With every step she took, she felt like she was walking on thin ice.


    She also wanted to be free.


    She craved for someday when she could freely express herself and choose to be around people


    she genuinely liked.


    "Why are you crying?"


    A sudden voice rang out. The moment Alicia was shocked and looked up, she saw Edmond walk


    into the office. Edmond was looking at her with a frown.


    Alicia panicked and wiped away the tears that were in the corners of her eyes.


    "I''m not crying. I just got tears in my eyes when I yawned. You were so slow. I got sleepy waiting for


    you."


    After saying that, Alicia acted like everything was fine. Then, she turned off herputer, picked up


    her handbag, and stood up.


    "Let''s go to have dinner."


    Edmond didn''t believe her words, but he didn''t expose her.


    Alicia was very reluctant to let anyone see her vulnerable side. If Edmond had exposed her on the


    spot, it would have infuriated her.


    Now that the employees were off duty, no one saw Alicia and Edmonding down the stairs


    together.


    After they stepped out of the elevator and arrived at the garage, Alicia had thought they would each


    drive their own car. However, Edmond followed her to the red Ferrari with his hands in his pockets.


    "Why are you following me? Where''s your car?"


    Edmond took a nce at the red sports car. Then he dropped his gaze to the passenger seat where


    other men had sat and said meaningfully, "I want you to be my sugar mama."


    Alicia didn''t understand what he was saying.


    Immediately after, she saw Edmond open the passenger door, sit in it, and raise his chin to her.


    "Licia, get in the car."


    Alicia was dumbfounded.
