Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

B*stard! He stole his woman, but didn't cherish her at all!

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Jeremy clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles creaked. Without another thought, he rushed to the stairs at the side of the elevator. He ran out of the nightclub panting, only to see the two figures entering a black luxurious car which then drove away.

He stomped the ground angrily. Just as he was about to hail a cab, his phone suddenly buzzed. It was from the manager who came with him. Remembering something all of a sudden, he growled. "D*mn it!"

He answered the call, "Got it, I'll come back right away!"

After a day's work, Alicia got back home and especially followed news on the Western City. The bid should have been accepted by now. Why was there no progress?

At the back of her mind, she knew that despite the countless experiments plus Waverley's proven capabilities; she was still afraid of making careless mistakes when it comes to land properties-related matters. Actually, Alicia had indeed modified the bidding document, but just some minor parts. At the very least, she still knew that the reserve price would be the most important of all. To be safe, she decreased the reserve price to as much as 60 million. This is because she was afraid of rounding up the figures. Just in case their competitor had any leaked information, and to avoid any mistakes, she could only just make minor adjustments. Therefore, she rounded down 7 to 1 and had the price reduced by 60 million. Besides that, she moved the position of some minor data.

In this way, even if the other party had bidden for a higher price, they wouldn't have gone too high. After all, these were not just little money of merely a few thousand or even tens of thousands of dollars. However, as long as the bidding result hadn't been released, Alicia would still feel uneasy.

In fact, when she was caught on the spot that day, she hadn't mentioned that a man had taken the USB flash drive. This was because besides wanting to ensure her parents' safety, she also wanted Frederick to believe that he could continue bidding after taking back the USB flash drive.

If she had lost the bidding of this piece of land, and no matter who should be responsible eventually, she could not be excused from any blame.

Besides the fact that this land held his promise for his late mother, it was worth over 10 billion dollars. Even if Frederick hadn't blamed her, she would still feel bad. She even had such high regard for her own career, let alone such a huge and important project like this.

After that, she tried to avoid talking about it. In fact, she thought Frederick had been deliberately evasive about the topic as well. Perhaps it was because he had to consider her feelings, or that he was afraid this would become a barrier between them. Ultimately, as much as both of them had been careful in avoiding this topic, it still lingered at the back of their heads.

She certainly didn't want to be one to pour his money down the drain. Otherwise, sooner or later, he would get tired of her!

Although she knew that the bid evaluation had many procedures and required time, Alicia still checked everything from beginning to end, albeit rather cluelessly.

She understood that the final results would worth more than a thousand explanations. She hoped that lady luck would smile on her so that the invisible barrier between the both of them could disappear. Her phone rang as she shut down the computer. She answered the call. "Hubby? I miss you!"
