Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Frederick tapped his fingertips against the table as he spoke.

"Therefore, before building the online selling platforms, we need to have our own warehouse and logistics! It is very profitable whether we decide to rent it to others in the future or use it ourselves. I have been in touch with a few trendy cocktail parties lately and they seem to be very interested. Who wouldn't want to make money when given the chance? In addition to the high-end range that each brand promotes, there are also slow and medium-end products. Our country has a great number of consumers. If we open up the high-end market, it will be very profitable! However, I think we should appoint a woman to be in charge of this field in the future. After all, women know themselves best, nothing can go wrong with listening to their advice! Chet nodded, agreeing to his idea.

"Indeed! In today's society, the status of women is getting higher and higher, especially in big cities! Besides their own abilities, men's pampering is also one reason. Why do I suddenly feel like men are the ones working hard to earn money, but women are the ones who are spending them?" "If you're thinking this way, it means that you have to continue to work hard! The whole reason that men have to earn money is to support their family, isn't it? If the money they earn is enough, will they still feel that the women are spending?" As Frederick joked, his vision turned inadvertently. His gaze stopped at a jasmine flower nearby and a slight frown appeared on his face.

"By the way, get someone to helpchange this flower into another plant later! Notify all the staff that jasmine is not allowed in the company building, no one may plant jasmine here, not even drink jasmine tea! If anyone carries a scent of jasmine perfume, tell them they do not need to cto work anymore!" "What?" With a shriek, Chet repeated it again in disbelief, "Jasmine?" Didn't Frederick say that jasmine helps him to stay energetic and focused, and that it was his favorite? "Yes! I think that placing sother items in the office will benefit us more!" Frederick retracted his gaze while Chet remained dumbfounded for a long time. What was going on? What did the jasmines do to Frederick? How did his favorite turn into his most hated all of a sudden? Chet couldn't understand why.

"How is the situation in the Randolph family recently?" Thinking of the recent events, Frederick felt that there were too many coincidences. Was this all a schto create a conflict between him and Alicia? But then again, they were all trivial things in life. For all that Frederick was aware of, these were all too common, and it was not surprising that there were coincidences. Furthermore, the mindsets of men and women were vastly different. He thought that these small matters were not worth his tand energy.

On the other hand, women tend to be the opposite and cared more about the details.

"There are no big actions! However, the Randolph family is still trying to maintain its glamorous appearance when in reality, they are falling apart. In fact, the Randolph family has been making deals secretly. They even sold an apartment recently, I doubt that this can last long! Danica doesn't seem to have any suspicious actions as well. Her plans are unfavorable either in tor location. It's still being investigated, hence there isn't much news yet..." "Alright, if there is anything suspicious going on, letknow as soon as possible!" After discussing more business affairs, Chet mentioned as he stood up, "Frederick, later in the evening there will be a company event during the report conference of the branch office at the Hiddleson Hotel, you have to show up!" "Callwhen you leave!" After work, Alicia received a call from Marshall, saying that he had checked on her father and that surgery could be arranged, notifying her to go over to discuss the details.

As soon as she got into the car, she received a message from Frederick. "I have to attend a report conference tonight, have dinner yourself. Remember to obey the house rules and go hby nine 'o'clock!" Alicia couldn't help but smile. Who would've known that he would report his activities to her? Looking at the message, she realized that apart from the first sentence; it was all to give her orders! Even so, Alicia was glad that he wasn't impossible to train! Oh well, at least she didn't have to explain to him for not being able to go back for dinner! Immediately, she replied, "I will be good, the house rules are so strict, I dare not forget!". She also attached a 'wronged' emoticon behind the text.

Every tFrederick read her reply, he could imagine her quirky expression, and that always made him very happy.

At the red light, he chuckled unconsciously.

It would be weird if she was actually as good as she said she would be! As Chet drove, he felt chills coming from the back and he peered at the rearview mirror. What was the situation? Why was Frederick smiling so oddly? Frederick felt the strangeness coming from the front and retracted his smile, turning his gaze out of the window unintentionally. A poster on the bus stop sign entered his sight. At a glance, he felt the poster was familiar.

Have he seen it anywhere? How can that be possible? It was a picture of a cartoon with a man and a woman standing under a tree in the sun, eyes on each other like a couple from a Japanese comic. He never watched that kind of cartoon. Why would he feel it was familiar?

Due to the distance between Frederick and the sign, there seemed to be words on the poster, buthen couldn't see them clearly. He didn't think much about it as he thought it was just another couple discount or set meal promotions. As the car moved away, he withdrew his stare. On the other hand, Alicia drove directly to the hospital with the takeaway food she packed for her parents.

To discuss the operation, Alicia went to the doctor's office with her mother. "Doctor Clark, are you saying that my father can have the surgery the day after tomorrow?"

"Yes! Your father's lab results this week show that his health is relatively stable. If there aren't any issues with the lab results tomorrow, he will be tested again in the morning after tomorrow. If the lab results ve remain hormal, the surgery will be W. If conducted at noon according to the schedule. The surgery schedule was planned based on not only the patient's health conditions but also the hospital's operation tand the doctor's time. Hence, we have temporarily set it at noon the day after tomorrow! At that time, we will notify you again if there are any other issues! If you think that there is a problem with the schedule, we can also discuss it!" "No, thank you! We will follow the doctor's arrangements!" As Alicia responded, she couldn't help but take a deep breath. "I want to know, are there any risks for this surgery? What is the situation?"

"All surgeries are risky! From a doctor's point of view, Miss Blanchard, I can't fully guarantee that it will not be dangerous. I can only guarantee that I will try my best! Looking at your father's current ve m health condition, he wrequire surgery sooner or later! According to what you said, your father's body was fine before he was hospitalized and he could walk normally, meaning that the tumor grew or manifested overtime. Whether it is benign or malignant, if it is not removed now, it will continue to grow bigger and spread even if your father seems to be healthy! It must be removed regardless, therefore this surgery will have to be done sooner or later! However, even if it is a small operation, there are still risks. I hope that you will be mentally prepared for the outcome!"
