Chapter 136


    That night, Frederick had been driving and running around. He was exhausted. After taking a


    shower, he went straight to bed.


    Tiredness welled up in him. He carefully held her in his arms and his heart seemed to calm down in


    an instant. Before he closed his eyes, he lowered his head and kissed her on her forehead.


    He mumbled, "Sorry..."


    Alicia didn''t know whether she was hallucinating. Until a steady breathing sound could be heard,


    she slowly opened her eyes again, in a trance for some reason.


    She didn''t know if it was because she had slept too much during the day or that she was


    devastated., she had insomnia that night.


    The next day, when Frederick opened his eyes, he was holding a pillow in his arms. The bed was


    empty!


    He stretched his arms as he let go of the pillow. All of a sudden, he felt empty in his heart. It


    seemed that it was Alicia''s first time getting up earlier than he did!


    Only when he hot up did he found that the sun was already shining brightly. It was almost nine


    o''clock!


    No wonder she was gone!


    It was rare for him to sleep so deeply. It seemed that lighting the incense the night before had


    helped him effectively! Without thinking too much, he took a shower and went to work.


    The next two days, Frederick was busy and Alicia had been heading out early and returning home


    late. They rarely met, let alone speak.


    In a blink of an eye, it was the end of the month. Looking at her sry statement, Alicia was upset


    that she had lost three days'' worth of sry. That month, she really couldn’t make ends meet.


    After calcting all her expenses, her breathing became rapid. She was short of at least 30,000


    dors!


    Thinking of this, Alicia got upset again. It was all his fault! He wanted to treat her to a meal, yet she


    ended up paying for it which cost about a few thousand dors!


    She couldn''t go on like this. In less than two months, she would be forced to loan money. When she


    thought of her father in the hospital, she felt a wave of pain in her heart.


    She logged in to Whatsapp and sent a few messages to Victoria. They chatted for a while before


    Alicia bluntly told her the purpose of texting her.


    [What a pity! I know you liked that design brochure a lot. I''ll keep an eye on it for you if there''s


    another chance! I''ll let you know if there is any part-time job or a job with a high sry!]


    [Thank you!]


    Maybe God was fair after all! If meeting Lindsay was her greatest disaster, then the reunion with


    Victoria made Alicia feel that Victoria was here to save her!


    These past few times, she got a few jobs thanks to Victoria. Whether it was a small gain or a clear


    understanding of someone''s nature, this friend made her feel particrly moved.


    It had been a long time since she had such a friend whom she could trust and be on good terms


    with!


    Then, she sent a few cute ''kissing'' emoji.


    A few minutester, Victoria texted her, saying, [Dear, are you interested in being on the cover of a


    magazine?]


    Alicia hesitated for a moment and replied, [Is it for... journal of underwear?"]


    In this era, magazines were not that popr! Although she wanted to make money, she did not want


    to take photos only with underwear. Moreover, she was not so open-minded.


    After a while, Victoria called her.


    "Hey, what are you thinking about? It is a high-end magazine. I heard that they are short of a female


    model! The protagonist seems to be a male model or a male star! The sry isn''t that much, only


    about a few thousand dors. You know that''s about the price they can pay you just for taking two


    pictures, right? However, many smallpanies in the industry still need models and publicity. You


    are so beautiful and good-looking. If it works out, you may even be famous and have a few


    more simr jobs in the future. You only have to pose for a while, at most two hours. I am thinking, if


    you don''t mind, you can earn some cash and show off


    your beautiful face for a bit."


    In fact, Victoria was afraid that Alicia''s man would mind it. However, Alicia didn''t mention much


    about him and Victoria had been embarrassed to ask!


    She knew that deep down, Alicia was still prideful. She was afraid that one mistake would damage


    their friendship. After all, there were some things that couldn''t be shared between best friends.


    She understood that.


    "Why would I mind it? I just want to make more money to help my family! As long as I don''t have to


    wear a bikini and all that, I will ept it!"


    She had ovee even the most difficult time. She would not cross the bottom boundary which she


    had set for herself. Not only for herself but also for her parents. If she really went that low, her


    parents would not forgive her even when her father woke up and they get reunited!


    She had been raised as a princess since she was a child! Even if they were in a bad state, she was


    still a princess. At least in her heart, she was!


    "Then, I''ll ask for you. If there''s any news, I''ll contact you! But Alicia, online shopping is so popr


    nowadays and the demand forwork models is huge! If you are willing, I know a few factories and


    some websites. But, the workload is too much. You have to spend the whole day on the photoshoot


    and you''ll be very tired! If you work part-time, I''m afraid you can''t take it! However, those are major


    factories in the wholesale market. In terms of sry, it is really a lot. Those models who have to


    wear a bikini obviously will get higher pay as they have to show off their bodies."


    After hearing Victoria''s words, Alicia was a little tempted.

    "Vicki, I''m not afraid of being tired! You know, I’ve been working in my office every day tranting


    texts. I''m not tired at all. If there''s anything that thepany needs in the future, you can ask them


    for me. As long as it''s a properpany, I can ept it!"


    "No problem! If there is any job where you can earn money easily, I will inform you! But you should


    pay attention to whatever you do. Nowadays, society is full of all kinds of people. Us, women are in


    a weak position, and it is even more dangerous for beautiful women!"


    "Got it..."


    After chatting for a while, they hung up, and Alicia''s mood was slightly better.


    That day after work, Alicia didn''t want to go home. Hence, she went to the sanatorium to visit her


    father. Beside the bed, she talked to him but she didn''t know what she was talking about. When she


    came to her senses, she noticed that the sky was already getting dark and sighed.


    "Dad, it''s time for me to go home! Mom and I are very well, and I''ll take good care of her for you.


    You''ll get better soon, and well wait for you... It''ll be a reunion!"


    Alicia sniffed and was about to get up when she suddenly felt a tug in her hand. When she looked


    back and saw her hand being pulled slightly, she immediately shouted excitedly.


    "Dad! Doctor! My father is moving—"


    Then, there was chaos. Alicia was being pushed aside, but she was also excited and tearful. When


    the doctor finished checking, her voice was still trembling.


    "Doctor, is my father going to wake up soon?"


    "Miss nchard, don''t be too agitated. In fact, this is the patient''s conditioned reflex. This kind of


    situation may be caused by a physical reaction that was triggered by a certain stimtion in the


    body. Of course, it may also be an act of consciousness! But at the moment, your father has no


    signs of waking up..."


    Feeling like she was on cloud nine before falling to the ground the next second, Alicia''s hope got


    shattered. She burst into tears in an instant.
