Chapter 67


    He was holding another woman?


    Alicia didn''t know how she got home, but she never stopped thinking about what she had witnessed


    just now. When she entered the house, she didn''t even notice the car parked on the side.


    When he came out of the bathroom, Frederick saw her entering the room in a daze. "Where have


    you been? It''s sote already."


    Alicia was surprised and let out a cry.


    He was back already?


    Looking at her surprised look, Frederick frowned as well. "What did you do behind my back? Why


    do you look so frightened?"


    Who on earth was the one who did something behind her back?


    In an instant, Alicia felt that he was an eye- sore while looking at him. "I only went out for a meal!".


    She turned around and went to take her nightdress. She wondered if she should ask about what


    she had witnessed just now. After thinking for a long time, she still swallowed it. Unnoticedly, she


    showed a little of her gloominess.


    After washing up, Alicia climbed into bed and pulled the quilt forcefully. Frederick couldn’t ignore it at


    this moment.


    Taking out the car key, he handed it to her and said, "You have a driving license, don''t you? This is


    for


    you!"


    It was the key to the white Bentley.


    Looking at it for a moment, Alicia turned her head away and said, "I don''t want it!"


    Did hee to coax her after being with another woman? Who knew if it was the woman who didn''t


    want it?


    Alicia was a smart woman.


    Apparently, Frederick felt her agitation. Thus, he held back his temper. "What''s wrong? You are in a


    bad mood. Do you not like it or do you have your own preference?"


    Suddenly realizing that she was throwing a tantrum at him, Alicia couldn''t help but be surprised by


    her own actions.


    What was wrong with her? Did she really regard him as her husband? Why was she feeling sad


    now?


    Staring at his handsome face, Alicia pursed her lips.


    The man in front of her was not someone she could give her heart to. She had learned her lesson


    from the previous experience. How could she still be confused?


    Finally, she suppressed all the emotions that she shouldn''t have and responded, "How can I go to


    work with such a car? I will be criticized!"


    Besides, she couldn''t afford to maintain it! It would cost her a lot just to take good care of it.


    Without thinking too much, Frederick raised his hand and poked her puffy cheek.


    "It''s just a tool for transportation! Can''t you have a rich rtive or friend? Just drive the car.


    Someone will help you with the regr maintenance! Do you want toe homete every day


    and let me wait for you?" Frederick said.


    Alicia did not speak, but she knew what he meant. The car was for her to drive, not a gift for her!


    The sudden realization made her feel at ease, but also made her inexplicably unhappy. It seemed


    that she was cheap in his eyes! However, when she thought that if he gave her arge sum of


    money frequently, she would not be happy either!


    The contradictory thoughts were tearing her apart, while Frederick''s hand had quietly reached out to


    her.


    It was another passionate night, like every other time. However, there was always a moment when


    Alicia couldn''t enjoy herself, let alone feel happy.


    The night was intoxicating, but it was also dark andplicated.


    Fortunately, Frederick went on a business trip the next day, and Alicia got a chance to breathe.


    The nchards used to have a Bentley at home and Alicia had driven it before. After a period of


    hesitation, she still started the engine. Although she was a little unfamiliar at first, she got better


    after driving it for some days.


    As expected, on the day she drove the car to thepany, everyone talked about it. After all, only


    the bosses drove BMW or Audi. Yet, she suddenly drove a Bentley which was estimated to cost a


    million dors. She was bombarded with questions.


    She said that it was a distant uncle who lent it to her. As for the car, she didn''t know anything about


    it. Her colleagues in the office questioned her about the car but she said she didn''t know anything


    about it. Hence, they left her alone.


    However, there was another rumor in thepany in less than half a day, which was that Alicia had


    a sugar daddy and she was worth a Bentley!


    Alicia did not bother to exin. Some things would only be worse when exined.


    Suddenly, she felt that the rtionship between her and Frederick seemed to have found the right


    bnce. It would be easier for her to regard their rtionship as such.


    During tea time in the afternoon, Alicia went to get a cup of coffee. As soon as she came back to the


    office, she saw Miriam holding a document, shouting angrily.


    "Vera ckmore is such a psycho! She is ugly and yet she wants to find a rich guy. Now, she''s


    spreading rumors about Alicia. She said that Alicia has found an ugly sugar daddy. She just can''t


    take it that Alicia has a better life than her. She even wanted to check who the Bentley belonged to.


    D*mn! I am so angry!" Miriam said.


    "If you look at her face, you will also feel disgusted by it..." Miriam continued.


    "Why do you even care about her? Who doesn''t know that she has been pursuing Connor Snyder


    for a long time and yet he has feelings for Alicia? Since she wants to be a clown, just let her be!"


    another woman replied.


    "That''s true! Even the gorgeous Alicia is toozy to talk to her! It''s really a show of status! Even if


    she wants to find a sugar daddy, I guess she has to pay for it!" one of the men said.

    "Gee, your words are even more vicious!"


    Listening to her colleagues'' conversation, Alicia felt warm in her heart. "For the sake of you guys, I''ll


    treat you all to tea this afternoon! Order whatever you like!"


    "Wow, Alicia! If this gets out, wouldn''t your rumors get more? Then, I''ll have some mango tarts and


    a cup of milk tea!"


    "I want some doughnuts. I''m hungry!" "Just let them be jealous and hateful! Chris, go and collect it


    later, and make it a big fanfare! Let''s order from the famous Sweethouse!" Miriam said.


    The atmosphere was so joyous that Alicia also smiled and nodded. "Okay!"


    To her, the rumors were nothing at all. In the past, she had experienced more tragic things. The


    people that cared for her were more important to her.


    In a blink of an eye, another week had passed. One day, thinking that Frederick was still on a


    business trip, Alicia went to get some daily necessities and picked a few clothes after work. She


    was ready to go home to see her mother and have a meal with her.


    She was going to pick up her car. When she looked up, she saw that the pedestrian light at the


    intersection was going to turn green. She picked up her speed and suddenly hit something. The


    things in her hand fell and scattered all over the ground.


    "I''m sorry-"


    "I''m sorry!"


    They both apologized while picking the things up. Both of them stood up at the same time, and their


    eyes met. Both of them were shocked.


    "Alicia nchard?"


    "Victoria? Victoria As?"


    Before Alicia came to her senses, a big hug had alreadye over. "Is it really you? Long time no


    see!"


    Stunned, Alicia did not respond for a long time.


    Alicia recalled what had happened a year ago. On that day, she was meeting Lindsay


    enthusiastically. However, everything turned out to be a conspiracy!
