The next day, Alicia opened her eyes and began to feel depressed again at the thought of reporting to Soaver International.

Brushing her teeth in the bathroom, she looked sideways at Frederick. Her gaze nearly burned two holes through him. It was a good thing she didn't give him a few kicks, let alone breakfast. Meanwhile, Frederick was self-aware. He got ready and then headed to the office for breakfast.

While Alicia was changing her clothes, Frederick noticed that instead of her previous positive and sunny disposition, she was full of unhappiness. At that, he felt as if something was weighing on his heart. He felt very uncomfortable. He then went forward and hugged her.

"You should try to work at Soaver International first. If you're really not used to being there... we'll talk about it then."

"If I really feel uncomfortable there, will you let me leave?" Turning back, Alicia pouted with a pitiful look on her face. Pinching her face, Frederick regretted being frank and outspoken. If he said yes, she would give up right away. However, he felt guilty when he saw her unhappy.

"Given your ability to adapt, you'll get used to it. I'm sure you'll do fine!" Maybe she would even prosper there!

What job was there that she couldn't handle? Sales promotion, counter girl, designer - which did she not do outstandingly well? She could even sell rubber even though her main job was as a translator. Well, he sure was good at putting labels on her. He was wicked! Wicked indeed! All he did was convince her to work for him. After all this talk, he still hadn't promised her anything, Alicia complained inwardly. He said it for nothing!

Glaring at him fiercely, Alicia looked away and grunted. All he said was nonsense!

"You better not dare try anything cheeky again. If you don't want to stay at Soaver International, come back and be a full-time housewife. If that happens, I'll get four bodyguards to follow you around the clock." With her teeth clenched, Alicia didn't even bother grunting anymore. Instead, she turned sideways. Having seen that, Frederick took her by the wrist.

"Where are you going? Did you hear what I just said?"

Turning back, Alicia angrily shook off his hand. "Yes, President Clements! I'm going to report to the office now! Are you satisfied?"
