Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

However, all those had happened so long ago, even Frederick was unable to remember clearly what happened before Danica left, except for the important contract that went missing. In that instant, Frederick's mind was buzzing.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand but Danica backed away as she cried, trying to avoid him. She was trembling all over. The next second, she turned and ran back to her car. Frederick stood there for a long time as if his legs were stuck to the ground.

Going back to his car, Frederick took out a cigarette and lit it up. His hand was slightly shaking as well. At this moment, his phone rang. It was Chet who called to report what happened with Mr. Andrews. "Okay, I get it!" Frederick couldn't concentrate at all; his mind was already elsewhere.

"Frederick, are you okay? You sound unenergetic. Is something wrong?"

"I'm okay! Just a little tired," Frederick replied.

They talked for a while before Chet drove over and returned his briefcase. Two of them stood by the lake and looked at the view for a while. Then, Frederick started to explain what happened to Danica. The sudden truth was pressing on Frederick. It suffocated him. But after telling Chet, he actually felt relieved.

Chet was also surprised. Moments later, he asked, "Frederick, do you believe what she told you?"

Chet's words suddenly made Frederick wide awake. Frederick was stunned for two seconds before realizing that he never suspected Danica's stories!

What did Chet mean?

"Frederick, I was just asking! After all, it has been six years. Even if you wanted to investigate the truth, most of the things have changed and it's hard to trace back anything that happened so long ago! It's not that I'm cold-hearted, I feel sorry for what happened to her too but there's just no proof that what she said is the truth. I was the one who was in charge of the contract with East Valiant Commerce. That was our effort for half a year! We were so cautious back then. How could outsiders have the opportunity to steal it from us? She's a person who will turn her back on you at a critical time. With all due respect, I have doubts about her personality." Moreover, in Chet's opinion, Frederick and Danica were sticking together like glue back then. If something really happened to her, Frederick would have accompanied her instead of abandoning her. Danica knew Frederick so well. It seemed impossible for her to leave Frederick's side quietly.

It was a critical time back then. Yet, she chose to take the contract away and left Frederick. It didn't seem something that someone who sought death would do.

But, it was already six years ago, Chet couldn't remember clearly which incident happened first. He couldn't jump to a conclusion yet.

Unless the contract was stolen first, then there was a possibility that she's lying!
