Chapter 144


    That night, Frederick slept at East Bannpool.


    As for Alicia, she couldn''t fall asleep even after she got home. Previously, she had hoped that he


    wouldn''te back. However, that night, she had been tossing and turning until it was past


    midnight.


    Sitting up, she wrapped her arms around her knees and stayed that way for a moment. Then, Alicia


    scratched her head in annoyance.


    "Why is this soplicated? Why am I still reluctant to give up? Alicia, where is your pride? Do you


    want to share a man with other women?" She scolded herself.


    No!


    In the past, she couldn''t ept it. At present, it was the same as well!


    Love was like the five-million-dors evening gown. It was just a luxury. One could still survive


    without it.


    With thoughts flying in her mind, Alicia couldn''t help bursting into tears. Why were all the men she


    met the same? Was she that unfortunate?


    Tears were rolling down her cheeks. Suddenly, Alicia realized that she was crying for a man once


    again.


    After wiping away her tears, she looked up and mourned silently for a few seconds. When she


    heard the ticking sound of the clock, she was shocked instantly.


    It was almost one o''clock?


    Sheid down with a thud, turned off the light, and blinked her eyes a few times. She waited until


    thest teardrop disappeared silently beside the pillow.


    She wanted to sleep! She wanted to rest! She needed to rest! She couldn''t fall sick! She shouldn''t


    feel devastated nor cry, especially for love and men!


    She had to earn money and live well. She didn''t need love. She could go without any man. Her


    mother needed her and her father was still waiting for her...


    She keptforting herself and repeated the words in her heart over and over again. Slowly, her


    eyes shut.


    The next day, she habitually went home to visit her mother. She apanied her to the hospital


    and stayed at her shop for the whole day.


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org - ?.


    In the evening, she bought some takeout for her dinner as there were still customers in the shop.


    She then hurried back to work with the thought that after this day, half of the 30,000 dors that she


    needed would be paid to her. Out of the blue, she felt proud with confidence.


    At the traffic light, her phone suddenly rang. She took a nce; it turned out to be Dn. Her heart


    subconsciously skipped a beat.


    Could it be that the shoot did not make the cut?


    She answered the call with a sense of responsibility, "Master Dn? Are the shots not good


    enough?" "No, no! Miss nchard, you are being way too polite. Just call me Dn! The reason


    why I am calling you is because of another matter."


    "Huh?" She was confused. What did he want to talk about? Was there any other matter?


    As soon as she had doubts, Dn conveyed a piece of good news.


    "Miss nchard, you are very photogenic. Thest time when we were shooting, you wore lipstick


    from Magic Maquige. The person- in- charge of that brand is one of my friends. He saw the


    photos by chance and chose one of them with the intention of using it as an advertisement! Of


    course, this is your portrait thus you have the publicity right. They will pay you fifty thousand dors


    to use it for one year. Only one of the photos will be used, which is the one with you and Brian. They


    are paying you quite a high price. It''s just a one year contract for now. If everything goes well, they


    will ask you to continue coborating with them. However, you can reject it if you are not keen. I am


    just helping a friend."


    How could she miss such a good opportunity?


    Besides, for her, this was like pennies falling from the sky!


    Alicia curled her lips upwards and spoke eagerly.


    "Yes! Yes! Of course, I''m keen! Master Dn, no, Dn, you are the best! You''ve brought me such


    good fortune! Thank you, what should I do next? Should I head over to sign the contract or..."


    "Well, you don''t have to do that for the time being! Later, I''ll give your contact information to him and


    you can discuss it with him! You are Brian''s friend, thus you can rest assured. My friend, Vincent


    Wood, is a very sincere person and worth cooperating with." "Okay, thank you, Dn! From now on,


    you can call me Alicia too!"


    After hanging up the phone, Alicia was feeling over the moon. She had never thought that she


    would be so fortunate.


    After a while, she received a call from Vincent. In less than half an hour, everything was settled and


    she even signed the contract.


    When she walked out with the 50,000 dor check in her hand, she felt that her life was infinitely


    wonderful.


    She drove all the way to her destination after.


    When she changed her clothes, she felt that this was her lucky day and she might even be able to


    sell a few more sets of perfume. If she could sell one more set than the day before, she could get a


    consecutive award of two hundred dors!


    After tidying herself up, she habitually took out the small perfume samples. She chose a scent that


    she liked and pumped it on her wrist.


    Not knowing if she would still have such good luck, she only felt that everything went by smoothly


    on that day and she was in a good mood. More than an hourter, she had sold six sets of perfume.


    She felt ted and overjoyed.


    During the break, she took out another perfume and applied it in between her wrists. Then, she


    turned around and continued to work.


    "Love, Encounter, Happiness, and Miracle. This set will give you a different kind of wonderful


    surprise. Gorgeousdy, please have a look at our specially curated perfume set!"


    Once again, she sessfully stopped a beautiful woman who had a very elegant temperament.


    Alicia introduced the product enthusiastically.


    "Do you like this adorable packaging? How can such a beautiful youngdy like you not have an


    exclusive taste? You have to be confident since you are such a beauty! Let me tell you a secret. Our


    perfume has thousands of fragrance as it changes ording to your body temperature and mood.


    As for you, I am sure you can emit the most amazing fragrance. You can either choose a bottle or


    two, three, or even four bottles of differentbinations. It''ll bring you different surprise and


    freshness every month. What do you think?"


    Seeing that the woman seemed to be a little persuaded, Alicia pointed to the four beautiful bottles of


    different colors in the transparent box.


    "The scent of this perfume is very longsting. As you can see, I have been standing here for so


    long, yet the fragrance is still lingering. The price we are offering is 999 dors. We are having an


    event today. That''s why we are selling this limited edition set! Besides, our store is very upscale! No


    matter in terms of fragrance, packaging, or quality, it will not be inferior to any big brands! It is not

    this quality, the price is really reasonable. Since you look so trendy and fashionable, I am sure you


    are knowledgeable and you get what I''m saying!"


    After selling another one, Alicia turned around and took two more boxes. Then, she got hold of a


    man in a suit and tie.


    "Handsomed, please have a look at our perfume!"


    As soon as she lowered her gaze, she saw the Rolex watch on the man''s wrist, which was worth


    more than a million dors...
