Chapter 279


    "Frederick, wait for me!"


    "Don''t walk so fast! You haven''t told me yet, what is the big deal?"


    "Hey, why are you in such a hurry?"


    "You didn''te all the way here just for a drink, right?"


    Frederick? Carson?


    Alicia''s blood rushed up to her brain, the familiar sound was so close that she didn''t even dare to struggle!


    Cn the other hand, Jeremy, who was angry yet enjoying the kiss, did not recognize Carson''s voice as the loud nightclub music was ying. He held


    Alicia tightly with his arms as if he wanted to press her into his embrace.


    After a few strides, Carson caught up to Frederick and grabbed his arm. "Frederick, did you reallye to drink?”


    "What do you think?"


    Frederick stopped and gave him a nce, then walked onwards with a smirk on his face


    Of course he had to pick up his wife! She was afraid of the dark!


    He walked past the two people kissing on the side but looked at the man for a good few seconds. After all, it was a nightclub, that was amon


    scene


    Alicia was wearing ts because she initially went to apany her father for his surgery, and Jeremy was so tall and big that she barely reached his


    shoulders. At that moment, the lights were dark and gloomy as well and her whole body was blocked by Jeremy''s body, therefore Frederick didn''t


    recognize her at all.


    Both Frederick and Carson nced at them but left very soon as it seemed to be a private situation. However, Carson''s mind was full of doubt. He


    stayed silent for a moment but in his mind were thousands of question marks running around wildly.Belongs to ? n0velDrama.Org.


    Frederick actually invited him to drink at a bar that barely had any good wine? Had his brain been eaten by a dog?


    This didn''t seem to meet his high requirements and taste!


    Cn the other hand, Alicia''s entire body froze as she heard the familiar voice. Her heart was about to jump out of her chest.


    Frederick? Why was he here?


    Although it had only been a few seconds, it seemed like a century had passed. Alicia''s mind went nk and all she could do was bite her lips. She


    didn''t dare to move at all.


    As she saw a faint shadow pass by in front of her eyes, her heart almost stopped


    At that moment, her feet moved a little, probably because Jeremy identally pushed her and a light tinkling sound was made.


    Jeremy was immersed in the kiss and didn''t care while Alicia was flustered and didn''t hear it but Frederick was attracted to the sound. His eyes fell


    upen the half-exposed ankle of the woman. Under the faint light, the glittering piece of jewelry clung onto a pale piece of skin and the scene was very


    alluring.


    Although Fredrick withdrew his gaze in a second, the image of the anklet was imprinted in his mind


    Very soon, the two disappeared into the corner of the aisle. Using all her might, Alicia bit Jeremy on his mouth and pushed him away. She raised her


    hand and gave him a hard p on his face.


    "You''re shameless! If you dare to touch me again in the future, I will sue youl A*shole! I never want to see you again in my life!"


    Wiping her mouth, Alicia said as angry tears rolled down her cheeks.


    Blushing profusely, Jeremy finally realized what he had done and tried to apologize for his recklessness and wipe away her tears.


    Pushing his hand away. Alicia turned away and ran straight to the bathroom on the other side.


    Alicia sat in the bathroom for a long time, and then wiped and washed her mouth again vigorously before going out.


    As soon as Alicia walked out, she bumped into another man. "Sorry..."


    She quickly took a step back and looked up. The man was in a suit and leather shoes, but his tie was slightly nted. Hisplexion was red, and


    he reeked of alcohol. Alicia was shocked to find out that he was someone she knew!


    "Miss nchard, what a coincidence!”


    "Mr. Hugo-"


    Unexpectedly. he was one of the department supervisors in Alicia''spany. Alicia had to deal with him a few times on behalf of her colleague.


    Reluctantly, she smiled at him and gave a reply.


    "Yes, what a coincidence! You must be here for a business meeting, Mr. Hugo! Then I won''t bother you—"


    Alicia tried to leave after some courteous words, but her wrist was pulled by the man. "I''m not in a hurry! It''s a rare encounter, Miss nchard. You


    have be prettier!”


    He even touched the back of her hand lightly as he spoke.


    With an awkward smile, Alicia took her hand away. "Thank you for thepliment, Mr. Hugo! But, with all the work and traveling we have to do, I


    doubt so!"


    Just as she drew her hand back slightly, he grabbed onto it again


    n


    ''ve heard that you''re proficient in


    English, Miss nchard! We''re


    currently recruiting staff for our


    department! [you re interested, we


    can have a cha about it privately!

    Miss nchard, we can talk about it


    somewhere... After all, it is our


    department that''s recruiting Content


    belongs to


    and we''re in charge!”


    Looking at his perverted expressions, Alicia really wanted to give him a good p, but she couldn''t afford to offend him. If she were to make him


    upset, not only will thepany be in big trouble, she will probably lose her job as welll


    "I appreciate your offer, Mr. Hugo. I will definitely consider this when I go back!"


    Just as she was thinking of how to escape the awkward situation, a sudden cough of a man came from behind and she pulled away immediately. As


    she stepped backward and raised her gaze, she saw Frederick standing at the side.


    Suddenly, the light tinkling of bells sounded from her ankle and Frederick''s gaze lowered down to her feet. Alicia''s face instantly turned pale when she


    realized something


    Oh no!


    Her kiss with Jeremy... He didn''t hear the bells on her ankle, did he?


    At this moment, Alicia regretted putting on the anklet. Why did she have to putit on?


    Seeing their unnatural expressions, Mr. Hugo straightened his back. "President Clements, long time no see!"


    He greeted Frederick, then turned around and pretended to speak to Alicia righteously.


    "Miss nchard, I will consider your


    offer! However our department''s


    recruitmentls based on the unified


    national éxamination, which is <


    abso utely fair and does not allow


    any shortcuts. If you want to be’


    recruited into our department, you


    haye to try harder professionally.


    Don''t keep thinking of usihg crooked


    ways!"


    No wonder he could get the position of a superviscr, he was so good at reversing the responsibility that it sounded like she was the problem!


    Alicia was furious, inwardly as she thought that the man did really well in victimizing himself! Even so, she could only keep smiling. "Thank you for the


    lesson, Mr. Hugo. I will be going back to work hard now!”


    She quickly turned around and ran


    away. As thepace of her feet


    became quicker, he ringing of the ~


    bells beddme louder and clearer. At


    this poi, Alicia did not enjoy the’


    linking of the bells anymore~~


    Instead, she felt immensely:anxious


    a€the sound entered her gars.
