Chapter 283
"Well, keep it with you every day from now onl Remember to tell me when it''s running out!"
Giving Alicia the hairpin was just an additional protective measure, there would inevitably be negligence. The only thing that mattered was that she
must stay alert! It was extremely irresponsible to leave herself in the hands of others under any circumstances!
For Frederick, the only way a person could turn any endangerment around was when a person was capable of protecting themselves!
"Okay! I''ll bear that in mind!"
Cnly then did the two parted ways and went to work.
Walking into the office, Alicia saw her colleagues were gathering around Daisy. They were all talking about the birthday party from the night before
and were giving their wishes. Likewise, Alicia was happy for her.
Upon returning to her seat, Alicia''s anger red when she saw another bouquet of blue enchantresses on her desk.
As she threw it away, a colleague caught it
"Hey, don''t throw it away! I''m going to use it to provoke my boyfriend! Alicia, it''s not easy that I caught it! I have just forgotten to take it away!"
At that moment, Miriam shouted, "If there''s more tomorrow, we''ll split it! It''s time to change the flowers in the conference room and the pantry!”
Daisy poked her head in.
"Alicia, howe you don''t seem to be touched when he''s going after you so desperately? He''s been giving you a bouquet almost every daytely!
We''re all so jealous!"
Touched? Alicia even had the urge to chop off Jeremy''s hands. "I wonder which rich b*stard is wasting his money. My reputation is ruined. Would you
be happy if it was you?"
If Frederick found out about it, there would probably be another trouble!
With that in mind, Alicia''s head started to spin. No, she had to solve the problem quickly!
Turning around, she snatched the flowers. "Lend me this, I''m bringing it to the trash can for a picture!"
Alicia dragged Miriam along to find some scrap newspapers and went downstairs with the flowers. After choosing a clean trash can, she asked
Miriam to put some paper underneath before throwing in the flowers and took a few pictures. Then, she took the flowers out again and removed the
outermostyer of wrapping paper.
"Take them back to Lily and exin to her!"
"Alicia, what are you doing?"
"I''m going to send the photo to the deliverypany and have them forward it to the person who sent me the flowers! That way, he''ll receive my
rejection!" Without revealing the person who sent her the flowers, Alicia exined further.
"Why don''t you go back first? I''ll go print out a few photos. If the delivery guyes back tomorrow, I''ll tell the security guard to give him these two
photos!”
After getting everything ready and editing a few pictures, Alicia sent the photos to Jeremy, hoping he would stop!
Jeremy stared at the photos with a frown. He froze in ce for a long time...
Meanwhile, once Chet arrived at Soaver International, he was called to the president''s office. He was still having his breakfast when he reached the
office. "What''s so urgent?”
He went over as soon as he was urged to go to the president''s office! Furthermore, he was called three times! He was notte!
He was still gnawing on his sandwich, filling the entire office with its smell. Frederick gave him a disgusted nt before he stepped aside and opened
the window.
"Once you''re done, go find out what projects Jeremy''spany has been working ontely. The more details, the better!”
"Who?"
Chet was taken aback and almost choked. Frederick was in such a hurry to find him, not for business, but to investigate his rival''spany!
"You heard me! I want results in three days!" How could Jeremy be so free to go after his woman?
"Ahem! Frederick, is this really necessary?”
When Chet voiced the question doubtfully, Frederick stared hard at him with a cold gaze.
He gulped and said, "I mean... Alicia is a beautifuldy. If she goes out for a walk, nine out of ten men would fall for her..."
Was he required to handle all these men as well? Then, he wouldn''t have to do anything else in the future!
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Frederick''s icy gaze grow even deeper.
Realizing what was going on, he hurriedly raised his hand and said, "l am the eleventh! I have no such thoughts about her at all!"
In turn, Frederick''s expression seemed to indicate to him, "Indeed, you''re not a normal man!"
Tilting his head, Chet looked bitter. He shouldn''t have mentioned Frederick''s taboo topic. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make. He
was clearly shooting himself in the foot!
A few momentster, Frederick blurted out, "He''s different!”
Alicia might not be attracted to other men but Jeremy...
Recalling their past, Frederick felt as if his heart had been crushed. He then looked at the nt by his side before his cold gaze softened slightly.
"I understand! I''ll arrange for that immediately! In the next two days, President Lawson of Sky Cross Corporation maye over. They have an
appointment for inspection and talk about the venture of building a warehouse!"
"Okay, got it!"
The two gradually moved to the main topic.
In the next few days, Frederick was
busy working Tr the south and did
not go homg:for a few days. Alicia
knew he was busy, therefore she -
didn''t bother him. Meanwhile, Martin
had woken up, but the doctor
advised him to stay in the intensive
care unit for two more days for
observation. Since Alicia-had free
time, she went to visit Mrs.
Clements.
~~
Day by day. Alicia''s mood was getting better. She couldn''t help but look forward to the future again.
Cne day, she had dinner at Mrs. Clements''s house. The two even spent time in the garden and chatted. Inevitably, Alicia was urged to have a baby
again, to which she replied obligingly.
In fact, she was not as settled as she appeared to be. Alicia knew that every time she slept with Frederick, except for the one ident, he had always
had protection.
Although it was what she wanted as well, such a measure would not make her conceive in near time!
Haste made waste. She became

Ancther day passed. Afterpleting her assignment, Alicia deliberately kept herself away from any distractions. Taking the opportunity to go out on
an errand, she left work early and fetched her mother to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Frederick, who had been
in the south fora few days, finally
returned fram his work and was N
tired. On, Bis way home, he dozed
off. WherThe opened his eyes, he
was already in the center of town,
rightat a red light. After looking at
his watch and flexing his muscles,
Frederick raised his headPand saw
the poster next to the bus stop.
Pear blossom?
Alicial Her name instantly appeared in his mind
At that moment, scattered images of photographs swept through his mind. When his eyes fell on the pair of cartoon characters again, his expression
changed!
Immediately. he took out his phone and asked, "Is there a website for St. Abbott University in Bayton City that I asked you to checkst time?"
"Huh?" Chet processed the question quickly and took out his phone before handing it over to Frederick. Just then, the car arrived at an intersection
and the driver gave Chet a look.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Chet understood what the driver meant and asked, "Frederick, you look a little tired. Are we heading to the office or home?"
After a slight pause, Frederick answered, "To JT Trantion Service!"
