Alicia instantly understood what he was talking about. It was his stepmother, Penny Carter's birthday!

Actually, she could feel that Mr. Clements wanted to see him very much. He probably loved Frederick a lot, but Frederick was obviously resistant towards his family. However, there were occasionally traces of loneliness in his eyes. He probably longed for a family, but it wasn't up to his expectations.

She recalled what Grandma had told her about his childhood and her heart ached!

Compared to him, she was much more fortunate!

She hugged him, trying to give him some warmth. Alicia didn't say a word because she knew that at this moment, he didn't need her words. He just needed someone to accompany him quietly! He closed his eyes and put her on his lap again. He held her tightly and felt the warmth in his arms.

"I'll have to go to Bayton City for a few days. You should choose a handbag for her. There's nothing much to consider, just choose the newest and most expensive model from some well-known brand. There'll be a banquet on Wednesday night. If i make it home on time, we'll go together. If not, you're going to have to attend on my behalf. Just for a short while."

Since that person had called him, he would have to give him some face.

"Okay!"

They continued to cuddle for a while, letting the afternoon just pass. Alicia didn't want to go back to work, but she felt a little depressed at the thought of her bag still stuck in the office.

"I've been here since lunch. If the employees find out, will it harm your reputation? What should I say when I go back?"

She didn't want to hide forever!

Frederick chuckled. "I've already sorted it all out. Just let them know Doris had some Russian documents that needed your help translate. You can go there and come back here any time you want. I can always get Doris to make a few phone calls if you want."
