She could also see that Frederick obviously did not want her to enter. However, Danica did not know that it was because there was someone inside. She thought that perhaps he was on guard against her, as he seemed slightly embarrassed.

However, to get where she was, Danica had already sacrificed so much. Therefore, no matter how embarrassing it was, she still forced a smile.

"I've set up a small private painting exhibition this weekend! I wanted to pass you an invitation, thus I dropped by!"

As she spoke, she took out an artistically designed envelope. "Can you come to show some support? Is it okay if you come alone?" She asked as she passed it over.

Fearing that Frederick would take Alicia with him, Danica strategically stopped him from doing so.

They were still looking at each other.

"This is the first painting exhibition I'm hosting ever since I return. I would like to have a good start! If it's alright with you, just do me a favor and support the launch please?"

As he reached out for the invitation, Frederick merely replied, "Got it!"

Just at that moment, a staff member from the kitchen brought over a packed meal box. Initially, Danica had secretly inquired about Frederick's schedule and wanted to come at the right time to have a meal with him. But she now realized that she had missed the chance.

"Thank you! Then, I won't disturb your meal. I'll take my leave! See you this weekend at seven o'clock."

"Alright!"

Frederick nodded and did not persuade Danica to stay. He watched as she entered the elevator. Then, he took the meal box from the staff and said, "Come and get it from me at 2 p.m.!"

"Yes, sir!"

Alicia had been waiting in the room for quite some time and noticed that there were no signs of activity at the door. She slowly crept out, only to see that the door was closed. She had vaguely heard the voice of a woman, but as she peeked out, she only saw a man in a chef's uniform leaving. Alicia frowned in puzzlement.
