Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"Are you stupid? Why don't you submit a request to the manager? Do you think Mr. Clements has the tto care about these things? "But I really need the money! I've worked in the company for eight years! And I want to have an advance of two years worth of salary. I'm afraid that if I don't make it clear, the management will not agree! The manager toldthat I can at most request 3 months of salary advance! I want to personally talk to Mr. Reynes or even Mr. Clements! I desperately need the money!" "You're right! Why don't you give it a try? There's always a chance that it'll get approved. You need the money to save your child! Who knows, maybe the company will help you, and it'll be less of a burden! However, I suggest that you don't do it today! I heard that an important client is coming to the office this afternoon! Mr. Clements is personally greeting him! Our manager went upstairs but was told to leave! The client must be someone very important! You should not go lest you upset yourself! You won't only get frowned upon, but you'll sabotage your chances of getting what you want. You should talk to them before or after work.

"You're right!" Unknowingly, Giselle did not follow them out of the elevator, but her gaze was fixed on them the entire time. After they left, she pressed the button of the elevator to head upstairs. There was an important client coming to the office? No wonder Doris emphasized that Alicia had to head over to meet Frederick after 3.30 pm and told her not to mess the timing up. Was it because she was afraid that she would bump into the client and nothing more? Giselle returned to her department in a daze. As soon as she looked up, she could see a figure behind the glass partition. She hurriedly walked over to the desk as her high heels clicked against the floor. Each click of her heels against the floor was in sync with her accelerated heartbeat. It was knocking on her guilty conscience.

"Lillian!" She knocked on the partition with the documents she rolled up. Alicia looked up and suddenly stood up. "Giselle, are you looking for me?" "Mr. Clements would like to have a word with you. You have to be at his office... before 3:30 pm!" Giselle paused halfway. After that, her heart sank as she thought to herself, "It wouldn't be a big deal if she said before instead of after, right?" Moreover, the only difference was the word "before" and "after". Even then, she could say that she misheard! "Okay, I know! I'll go and get ready!" On the surface, Alicia replied respectfully. However, she was cursing Frederick in her heart. "Treacherous businessmen! What a b*stard! Was he afraid that she would refuse to see him? Hang up on him? How dare he use her manager to ask her to go to his office?" "Alright! Don't forget! Don't keep Mr. Clements waiting! Do you know what to say?" Once her thoughts were done, she suddenly realized that this was the main reason for her endless chatter! She nodded and said with a smile, "I know! You have high expectations. Not only that, everyone is working hard and is focused on their work. There is still a lot forto learn! Once I'm done tidying my table, I will head upstairs. I will not be late!" She was clever and smart! Giselle obviously hesitated for a moment and then replied with a "hmm" and turned to leave. However, her footsteps were hesitant on that ever-familiar path.

She sat down and looked at the time. It was nearly three.

After tidying up the table, Alicia instinctively looked in the mirror again and secretly put on lipstick. Then, she got up and walked out of the door.

Right then, upstairs, once Frederick and Mr. Nolan were done negotiating, they made their way over to Frederick's office.

"Mr. Nolan, I hope that this partnership will go well. It'll be a win-win situation for the both of us!" "Of course! It's an honor to partner with Soaver International! Haha!" "The details of the evaluation and... the main summary, I'll give it to you for now! As for the details, let's discuss it tomorrow once you've gone through them..." They shook hands and briefly discussed sdetails. Then, they entered Frederick's office. After making tea for him, Frederick went to open the safe. He took out a kraft envelope with a secret seal on it. He passed it to the smiling man in front of him.

"The data was professionally prepared. Our future returns look promising. Of course, sof this data needs to be updated! Mr. Nolan, if you want, I will discuss them with you later... You can go through to data for now! Oh, by the way, I have also prepared a gift for you!" He said.

He stood up and called Chet. Before he could say anything, he heard him say, "Frederick, we have a problem..." "Okay, I know!" After hanging up the phone, he said, "Mr. Nolan, please make yourself comfortable and go through those data first. There is something that needs my immediate attention. I'll be right back!" He exited his office and wanted to inform Doris. However, she wasn't at her desk. Frederick had to rush downstairs. What was going on? Right then, Chet had a bottle of 1961 Lafite wine in his hands. There were two strange men dressed like managers around him. All of them were sweating.

"Frederick, Master Trevor fell into a trap last night in East Bannpool. He lost a diamond bracelet worth more than a hundred million dollars, as well as... a list of names!" "What's going on? Where is he? What's the matter?" At this point, one of the managers spoke.

"Master Trevor has been sent to the hospital. Master Vives said a paralytic drug poisoned him. He passed out. He is currently unco but it is not life threatening. Master Trevor woke up and said, "Go and look for Mr Clements!" That's why we are here. The diamond bracelet was bought at an auction last night! Right then, right after Master Trevor answered a phone call, we immediately made our way over to East Bannpool." Another man stepped forward and said,

"A lot of contact information on the list has been re-organized and encrypted. Master Trevor had it on him because it was recently completed and passed to him. Once we arrived at East Bannpool, only then did We know that one of his friends had gotten into an argument, and Master Trevor went there to

settle it. We initially thought it was a small matter. When we entered the we realized that the private room, we so-called friend was actually a university professor. He made an appointment with Master Trevor but messed up the dates and went a day earlier. Also, he had never been to those kind of places before, and Master Trevor was the one who asked him out because he wanted the professor to analyze a set of formulas..." "Why are you still hesitating? Just say it!" Frederick roared. The man immediately lowered his head and said, "It's a set of formulae for making drugs!" "What?" Upon hearing Chet's shriek, Frederick immediately understood why Trevor had asked them to cover, "He lost it, didn't he?" The man nodded and lowered his head even further.

"Where's the chip? It looks like a SIM card, doesn't it?" If it was still covered like the back of a SIM card, only a professional could read it. It would take an effort, but it was not difficult.

"Yes! Master Trevor was afraid of

losing it because it was too small, so he stuffed it into a jewelry box. Most importantly, the professor translated the formula, and he had written down the explanation. Just before the formula was destroyed, we realized that everyone in the room was knocked out, and the thing was gone!"
