Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

The call was from her colleague, Miriam.

"Yeah! Daisy said that she wants to treat everyone to dinner tonight. We have discussed that we would all pitch in 200 dollars each. After eating, we will go to the Oasis Clubhouse nearby to have a gathering and karaoke session. It'll just be a few colleagues from our department and Daisy's boyfriend, Vargas, will be coming as well. I've heard that he's quite good-looking, and he's quite a decent man as well. Rumors said that he chased Daisy for quite some time! It just so happened that he was able to join us today, hence he booked a big private room for us!"

With that said, Miriam lowered her voice and continued speaking.

"He probably wants to let everyone know that they're dating as soon as possible so that Daisy won't be able to change her mind! Come join us, Alicia, there won't be any outsiders!"

Since her father's surgery was successful, Alicia was in a good mood. She felt that it would be a joyful event to celebrate her colleague's birthday as well. She replied after checking her schedule.

"I still have some matters to deal with in the afternoon, therefore I won't be joining you guys for dinner! I should be done by the time the karaoke session starts, I will see you all then! I'll transfer the money to you in a while! Should I bring a cake?"

"No, it's okay, we'll prepare those things. If the money isn't enough, I will pay for the things first. If we're lacking too much money, I'll collect it from you guys afterward!"

After confirming a few more details, Alicia hung up the phone.

As soon as she turned around, Mrs. Blanchard gave her a smile.

"Ally, you should go out and have some fun! I'll clean the house and make a few dishes for dinner! Today is probably our happiest day over the past two years! When your father comes home, we will finally be reunited!"

Mrs. Blanchard released a deep sigh as her eyes fell upon Alicia. The only regret that she had at present was that they delayed the marriage of their precious daughter!

Let alone help us, it was good enough that they didn't mock us! Even though the past two years have been difficult, I learned many lessons. The people of society are too realistic and we shouldn't expect anyone to do us favors. Nowadays, more and more people have learned to please those who are doing well, but barely anyone tries to help those who are struggling! That is why the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. No matter what happens, we can only rely on ourselves! I never paid much attention to the outside world, but I can tell how well Frederick is doing. I know what you're thinking too. There is a big difference between us and the Clements family.

After looking around for a long time, Alicia still wasn't sure what to buy for Daisy. If her gift was too expensive, it would make the gifts of other colleagues seem cheap in comparison! Alicia thought about it and decided that a gift that was not too expensive but could express her thoughts would be best so that her courtesy wouldn't end up being
