It seemed like they were so close! But, Frederick had never taken Alicia to any gathering to meet his friends before! All of a sudden, the nonchalant laughter Alicia heard caused her heart to ache. It was like an invisible knife piercing into her heart, increasing the distance between them.
At this moment, Alicia smirked in self-mockery as her heart went numb. The last hope in the bottom of her heart seemed to have vanished, leaving a crack in her heart. She didn't stay any longer. She just walked past.
Trevor caught a glimpse of her. His hand that was holding the wine glass paused and his gaze froze a few seconds subconsciously.
Was it his imagination? At this time, all of them were recalling the happy and embarrassing moments of the past. Danica laughed her heart out. At a glance, she noticed his strange behavior and subconsciously turned her head to look at the door as well.
"Trevor, what are you looking at?" Everyone turned their eyes to where she was looking but there was nothing at the door.
After recovering from the shock, Trevor calmed down and uttered in a sudden, "Nothing, I just saw an acquaintance. Perhaps, I was mistaken." There couldn't be such a coincidence. Was that really her? He glanced at Frederick and noticed that he was calm. From tto time, Frederick would even lower his head and whisper something to Danica. Thus, he did not say anything.

Trevor squinted at him and replied, "You are right! She is really hot! A surprise!" "Really? I have to take a look at her!" Carson was very interested that he even exaggerated his actions and wanted to get up. However, Wyatt stopped him right there.
"Con! There's a lady here. Please behave yourself!" Looking at them, Danica giggled.
"Carson, are you still messing around? Aren't you worse than Trevor then? Don't influence my Frederick." The familiar tone and everything seemed to be natural. Suddenly, Frederick felt a little strange as he couldn't bear to hear it. The other people felt that as well, therefore they showed an awkward smile. Waving his hand, Carson replied to Danica.
"Just kidding! You are here, how dare we do that?" Although Danica was several years younger than them, due to her relationship with Frederick, Carson often called her by her first nwith a hint of respect! The atmosphere eased a little and they were just like in the past. Everything was fine but in an instant, the image of Alicia dancing suddenly appeared in Frederick's mind. Her amazing dance moves shocked the whole audience, living up to her nickn- 'Dancing Queen'! Dancing Queen! She danced beautifully and gracefully like a butterfly.
D*mn, a f*cking butterfly again! In an instant, Frederick's mood went totally out of place. He felt something was wrong and he was extremely uncomfortable.
Frederick set down the wine glass in his hand and stood up. "I'll go to the restroom for a while!" The moment he turned around, Trevor's eyes narrowed slightly.
At the stime, Alicia finally found Reims Hall but she did not go in because she knew that Mr. Andrews was invited there to entertain his clients. She was afraid that it would be inappropriate to disturb them, therefore she called him to pass her the documents outside the door.
Beside a window nearby, Alicia stood there and patiently waited for him to cout.
After a while, a middle-aged man with a big belly walked over with a briefcase in his hand. The man was wearing a light blue shirt. At this time, his tie was a little messy. He was walking while opening the briefcase to draw a document out.
"Are you Mr. John Andrews from Readex? Hello! I am Alicia Blanchard, the interpreter ofJT Translation Service. I am here to collect the contract.1 Taking the initiative to greet him, Alicia took out her business card and handed it over. Although she had cooperated with Readex before, it was her first tmeeting him.
John Andrews didn't expect that such a beautiful woman would come. When he was heading towards her, he was obviously lazy and unwilling to meet her. However, the moment he looked up, he straightened his back right away. His eyes were twinkling and he even tidied up his necktie.
After receiving the business card, he rummaged through the bag for a long tbefore he remembered that he did not bring his business card. He then smiled and reached out his hand. "Hello! I've heard of your nmany times but I didn't expect that except for being outstanding in your work, you are also an ultimate beauty!" "Mr. Andrews, I am flattered. I have heard of you many times as well, saying that you are a kind and honest man. From the looks of it, it seems that it's true! I am so sorry that you have to cout here." Alicia could clearly feel the change in his eyes and there were all kinds of contempt in her heart. However, she continued to praise him. It was her who personally cto get the documents but she still gave all the credits to him.
Although it was a little hypocritical, she had to admit that it was always good to say good things and be respectful.
Moreover, in the past few years, she had dealt with all kinds of people. She also knew that most of the time, she could protect herself by acting weak. Therefore, no matter what kind of person she was facing, being tough was always her last resort.

It was obvious that he was elated by her words as he smiled from eye to eye. After receiving the documents, Alicia took the opportunity to give it a run-through. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with it. With that, she sighed a breath of relief without her knowing. "Mr. Andrews, I will leave now if there is nothing else. I don't want to disturb your gathering with your friends!" Just as she was about to leave, someone grabbed her wrist out of the blue.
"Hey, don't hurry off so quickly. It's rare forto have a good connection with you, Miss Blanchard.
It's like seeing... my niece. I don't know what language you are good at. Recently, there is a batch of documents from our company's international department that are going to be sent to various countries. You know, we work with people from various countries... Spain, France, Germany, and many more! I'm wondering if you'll be interested?" As he said this, he took her hand and clutched it as if he didn't want to let go of it.
"Of course, I'm interested!" With a friendly smile on her face, Alicia tried to pull her hand away. She despised him in her heart and thought to herself, "If I am like your dear niece, how dare you touch me? Why don't you just go kill yourself? What a shfor you to say it out loud!" As soon as he saw a chance, he beca little relaxed.
"In fact, there are a lot of ways to do it. You know... If you are interested, I can give you more rewards, such as raising the payment for each word or adding more words. If you want to do it privately, it's not a problem too! What about we find a place to talk in detail?" The man was gesturing with his hand, wanting to touch her hand again. Alicia was so enraged that she wanted to kick him hard. With a flash of inspiration, she picked up the file and covered her face as she pretended that she was about to sneeze.
"Mr. Andrews, it's my honor. But, I -achoo!"
