Chapter 184


    After shaking hands with Alicia, Bruce turned around and instructed a rough- looking bodyguard


    beside him.


    Alicia smiled and nced at the man beside him. She suddenly noticed that the way they handled


    matters didn''t seem to be that of a decent business. At the very least, it was totally different from the


    feeling that Frederick gave her!


    However, Alicia didn''t show her thoughts. Instead, she thought that maybe Frederick gave her a


    better feeling because he was really handsome. He was a little picky, therefore he took great care of


    his image and he would always wear suits, appearing elegant and cold.


    Socializing was also important in sealing a deal, hence Alicia followed them in.


    Inside the private room, there were many men and women. It seemed that Mr. Jackman was quite


    prestigious. As soon as the two of them walked in, some of them got up to give way.


    Alicia smiled at them, her attitude was neither humble nor arrogant.


    Mr. Jackman obviously had a good impression of Alicia. He motioned for her to sit down before


    offering her a ss of wine. "She''s the beautiful trantor I just hired! Just enjoy yourselves, there''s


    no need to be prudish! Miss nchard, here''s to you!"


    Alicia got up and waved her hands, slightly embarrassed.


    "Thank you for your praise, Mr. Jackman. It''s an honor to meet you but I have a weak heart. You


    see, I can''t drink alcohol. I even have to bring my medicine with me everywhere I go. I''ll toast you


    with water instead of wine and I hope you understand!"


    With that, she had already taken out her own bottle of water. She was indeed a woman of beauty,


    calmness, and intelligence!


    Bruce took a look and couldn''t figure if she was telling the truth. However, he had a good impression


    of the way she carried herself and handled matters. He understood something but he didn''t say


    anything; he just touched sses with her.


    "Alright!"


    The bodyguard was soon done with the preparations and Mr. Jackman personally brought her to the


    room. He then handed her two papers from his messenger bag.


    "Miss nchard, I''ll give you six thousand dors for these two papers as four thousand is an


    inauspicious number to me! But, I''ll remind you again, the data on these papers are confidential.


    You should not leak anything out! If I find out that you''ve leaked anything, don''t me me for being


    ruthless!"


    "Don''t worry, Mr. Jackman. I''m a trantor, not a spy! I respect my job and hope that you will trust


    me! I won''t leak a word of anything I see!"


    Bruce narrowed his eyes and nodded, then unfolded the paper. Alicia took a look.


    "No problem! It''ll be done in a jiffy!" she stated calmly.


    She thought that there would be confidential secrets but it turned out that it was just a


    pharmaceutical prescription! She had done medical trantion jobs, therefore she had done arge


    amount of research. She went through a lot of information that was in Spanish previously, thus she


    wouldn''t have a problem even if it were in Russian, let alone Spanish.


    At that instant, Bruce couldn''t help but look at her admiringly again. "Just call me when you''re


    done!"


    As Alicia sat down, he headed toward the door. "Don''t disturb Miss nchard nor let anyone disturb


    her!"


    Looking at theptop, Alicia noticed that it had been cleared up. Bruce looked rough but he was


    actually very thorough.


    Alicia created a new document and unfolded the paper. Although she wasn''t used to typing on


    anotherptop, she was professional and slowly increased her typing speed.


    Halfway through the tranting, she understood that it was a form for a drug.


    It should be a folk prescription, at least not something of standard production as there were some


    words that she had to look up in order to find a more appropriate term. Other than some medical


    terms that she remembered, there were also some professional terms and equations.


    Although she couldn''t understand the equations, Alicia could guess that it concerned material


    manufacturing, the improvement of a drug, or even the steps to making a supplement.


    "Where he got this prescription," she wondered.


    In the room, Alicia was concentrating very hard on her job while Jeremy came looking for her and


    finally found her after looking through several rooms.


    At the door, he nced in inadvertently and saw her sitting on the floor. She was biting a pen, typing


    away on aptop, and she appeared to be very serious. His heart thumped when he saw the two


    fierce-looking men outside the door.


    Without stopping, Jeremy just walked past. "Apparently, she is just here to work, but why is she


    working sote at night?" he thought to himself.


    As time passed, Jeremy just stayed at the other end of the aisle. He would walk past asionally


    and take a look. Every time he walked past, he nced at the clock and his heart would feel


    heavier.


    Meanwhile, Alicia had finished and was checking her work thoroughly for errors. After making sure


    everything was fluent and the professional terms were on point, she stretched herself and got up.


    "I''m done! Please inform Mr. Jackman!"


    She nced at the clock. It was only 9:50 pm. Just in time!


    Before long, Mr. Jackman walked in staggering. He reeked of alcohol. "That was fast!"


    She thought that it was rtively slow.


    The client was paying a huge sum and she was embarrassed to finish the job too fast as it would


    give an impression that it was an easy job. It would be bad if they lowered the price next time.


    With a smile, Alicia spoke humbly.


    "Well, maybe because I hit it off with Mr. Jackman, hence my condition and efficiency were


    elevated! Would you take a look, Mr. Jackman? I''m not familiar with some of the words and it was a


    little hard toprehend them. I had to look them up online. I''m an amateur in this field and can''t


    be sure. If there are any mistakes, please be magnanimous and allow me to make changes!"


    It was obvious that he was pleased. Bruceughed and sat down on the sofa. He took a look at the


    document and noticed the main points were tranted very well. Satisfied, he beckoned to her.


    "For this part, make the text bold and red. It would be better if you could circle it in red..."


    "This value here, that''s right, put brackets and remarks there. Be precise about it, I don''t want any


    mistakes!"

    Altering a few details, Alicia made changes ording to his instructions and quickly finished the job.


    The man was all smiles when he got up.


    "I say, missy, you''re intelligent and you know how to speak well. You really humor me. How would


    you like to work as my secretary? I''ll give you ten thousand dors a month!"


    Hearing that ''Miss nchard'' had be ''missy'', Alicia couldn''t help butugh coquettishly.


    "Oh, Mr. Jackman, if you keepplimenting me, I''ll lose myself! I''m delighted about the offer but


    I''m quite slow. I''m good at the type of work that does not require brains but I don''t have it in me to


    be a secretary. I would mess up yourpany!"
