Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

They acted one way in public and another in private. As soon as Giselle left, the expression and tone of these people changed completely. All the goodwill Alicia had felt from her new colleague was instantly erased. Even the thought of making do was gone from her mind.

Sure enough, everything was just as she had thought it would be.

The more pressure and competition there was, the more intense the comparisons for sure.

In a company as prestigious as Soaver International, even an ordinary employee would act as if he or she were on a pedestal. Therefore, it was to be expected that things would be this way within the company.

In front of Alicia were several women wearing uniform black jackets and white shirts with short black skirts. At first glance, they all looked like ordinary suits, but on closer inspection, they were all dressed differently. Some of the suits had been made to fit well at the waist. Some had white blouses with low lapels, and some skirts were not just shorter but had also obviously been replaced with slim, stretchy fabrics. Of course, the subtle touches of sparkling diamond buttons, brooches and necklaces were not to be missed too.

Along the way, Alicia had learned that the International Affairs Department staff, who were required to work in the field at all times, did not require a uniform dress code. However, they were to have professional suits, preferably in dark colors. Perhaps the company thought that dark colors would give others a deep and dignified impression of them.

Several young women were also clearly wearing various designer brands, including Chanel earrings, Longines diamond watches. Alicia noticed that there were LV bags on the table as well. She could sense strongly that they were comparing themselves to her.

In fact, from the way they spoke, Alicia could sense vague contempt in their questioning. Perhaps, they couldn't decide on the reason for her sudden arrival, therefore they gave her some face. If she told them everything later, they would put on a grim face instead.

It was at this point that Alicia made her decision; she didn't even want to consider staying anymore.

Since they didn't want to be proper friends with her, she didn't have to be hypocritical in dealing with them.

Pretending to be confused, she said, "What country? I don't even have a passport! My dream is to go to Moscow. I graduated from St. Abbott University. I'm not very good at French and I learned it in school. I think I have a Grade 6 French certificate. I had to take French in Grade 6 three times before I barely passed. I have a deep impression of that."

With that, she looked down at the clothes she was wearing.

"Is this dress of mine a premium brand's? What is L.M. Couture? I've never heard of it. Is it expensive? My uncle gave me this dress! I don't know if it's a knock-off but as long as I'm comfortable in it, I'll be fine."

"And what's this electrical and sectors thing you're talking about? Can you make it clearer for me? I'm a bit confused."

Her words left several people dumbfounded. Meanwhile, Jennifer Gabby, who was the prettiest looking girl in the room, was a bit flabbergasted and squealed.

"Oh, my God! What the hell is going on? How on earth did you get in here? Why were you put in International Affairs? Did you come in here to hold us back?"

At this moment, the few women who originally had smiles on their faces also started to look cross-eyed, full of disdain and doubt.

"We mainly deal with external affairs. Our daily external communication work, including emails, are sometimes in foreign languages, including French. It took you three times to pass French in Grade 6? How did you manage to join Soaver International?"

"When did our company start hiring people with such bad taste? She's like a vixen! She was not sent by a rival company to mess us up, was she?"
