Chapter 450


    Soon, an impatient and immature voice was heard, "I told you, I''m on a diet. I can''t eat anything greasy or spicy. Why did you have to bring me here?" "Darling, don''t say that! Mr. rk has brought his wife along and they want to meet you. Let''s just spend half an hour with them. He''s a family person. This is a huge contract. Can you please help me?


    "Alright! Now give me a smile. Once the contract is signed, I will buy you a Hermes bag, okay?"


    "Since you''re both women, you can entertain his wife with small talk, right?"


    "His flight is at eleven o''clock. We just have to hold on until it''s half-past nine. It''s just for a while. This is a very famous restaurant. I''ll order some paleo dishes for you."


    Danica turned slowly and saw Caven ushering Hallie, who was d in a beautiful dress, towards the restaurant. In a sh of inspiration, she picked up her phone. She quickly dialed a phone number and went into the elevator with her head down.


    Alicia and Frederick had an enjoyable meal.


    She fed Frederick the dessert and nced at the little food left on the table. She was satisfied, as she didn''t want to waste any food. If there was still a lot of food left, she would''ve asked to take away the leftovers.


    "Are you full? Would you like some yogurt?"


    Knowing she liked to have some after a heavy dinner, Frederick ordered her a box of yogurt. However, they had not touched it yet.


    Alicia shook her head while smiling. "I can''t eat another bite! Get the bill while I use the washroom. Remember to keep the yogurt for me. Don''t leave it behind and waste it."


    "Okay."


    Alicia got up and walked away with her mobile phone in hand. When she reached the stairs, she found a yellow sign in front of the toilet door stating that it was under maintenance. The sign said to use the washroom on the second floor instead.


    Since it was the only washroom on that floor and the elevators were upied, she took the stairs to the second floor.


    As there were guest rooms upstairs, the flooryout was slightly different. She huffed a breath and followed the signs. She finally found the restroom


    at the corner. She had just took a few steps when she suddenly heard strange noises, followed by the sound of heavy breathing.


    "Oh, yes!"


    Reflexively, Alicia stopped and pondered, "What is that sound?"


    The next second, a man''s hoarse voice could be heard, "I miss you so much, Darling."


    Realization hit and Alicia blushed. She wondered, "Could it be a tryst?


    She turned around to leave but stopped abruptly, as she really needed to use the washroom.


    She decided to turn back. She was just about to cough to indicate her presence when she heard a male voice, "Shh, lower your voice! Go to your room. I''lle find youter."


    Alicia''s jaw dropped as the hairs on her body stood on end. She frowned and thought.


    "Why did that voice sound so familiar?"


    Subconsciously, Alicia took a step forward and stuck her head around the corner. A familiar face shed before her and in an instant, her entire body


    froze.


    Wasn''t that Howard Fisher?


    Wasn''t he Daisy''s husband? Although she had only met him once, she had a deep impression of the pale, slender man.


    Not sure if she was right, Alicia


    focused her gaze on the two men. They were both wearing suits. One man had his back to her with his hand at the other man''s waist Alicia waspletely dumbfounded for a moment. It was as if she was struck by lightning.


    Howard lowered his head after recognizing Alicia and said, "Oh, no! I know her! She seems to have recognized me. When did she..." Instantly, the man opposite him withdrew his hand and straightened his suit. He lowered his voice and said, "It''s okay, go. I''ll distract her." "She seems to being over," Howard said again.


    Suddenly, the man opposite him said loudly, "Peter, don''t make me practice your lines with you again. It''s weird!"


    Calling out a random name, Caven signaled to him and then quickly turned around, blocking the other man from her sight so he could leave promptly. Caven''s expression remained indifferent when he turned around and saw Alicia. On the other hand, Alicia''s eyes widened as she was taken aback. Howard took the opportunity and ran out.


    Caven did not expect that the person behind him was someone he knew too. His expression changed drastically. Alicia was in utter disbelief. "Mr. Lance, what a coincidence!"


    Alicia was not a fool to not realize what was going on. She smiled.


    "No wonder you seemed familiar. I see it was you, Mr. Lance. Was that a friend of yours? Is he an actor? What an odd ce to rehearse. It gave me such a fright!"


    No matter if she believed it or not, her saying so was to give him a way out. No matter how flustered he was, Caven knew that he should just go along with whatever she said.


    "Did you mean Peter? He''s a junior


    of mine from school. He''s an


    amateur actor who came in for an audition. He was nervous and asked me to help him rehearse. Since it was a tough role for him, I was just helping him out."


    As he exined, Caven gradually calmed down. After all, it was not the first time that such an incident happened. Since Frederick and Hallie were also estranged, he wasn''t very concerned.


    Even if Alicia were to tell Hallie, that woman might not necessarily believe her.


    Moreover, Alicia was pretending to be ignorant and turning a blind eye.


    "No wonder! Then, you must be upied. I just need to use the washroom."


    Alicia pointed to the direction of the washroom awkwardly. Whether the other man was Howard or not, she was not in the mood to pursue the issue further. She hurried into thedies room.


    In the meantime, Danica had changed into a staff'' s uniform as she pondered how to catch up to the two of them. Unexpectedly, the two hade up one after another.


    Holding the key to the room that


    Caven had registered in his name, she opened the guest room. Then she pretended to mop the floor while waiting for Caven to arrive. She deliberately bumped into Caven and prieked him on the back of his hand.


    "I''m so sorry. Sir, are you alright?"Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Wearing a face mask as disguise, Danica apologized but simultaneously caught hold of Caven when he swayed. Before he spoke, Caven felt a little dizzy. Danica said, "Is something wrong, Sir? Are you unwell?"


    Fearing that her voice would be recognized, she lowered the timbre of her voice.


    Howard, who was in the room and was keeping a lookout. When he saw what was happening, he ran out anxiously, "Dar... What''s wrong? Are you okay?


    I know him. Help me get him into my room to rest!"


    When Danica heard someone open a room door for her, she couldn''t help but be delighted, "Of course. I''ll help you out!"


    Then, the two of them worked together to help the unconscious Caven into the room.
