"No worries! I'll handle it. Aunt Freya, you should stay over at my place for the night since there'll be a blackout here. Besides, Frederick might not be back tomorrow anyways, and it doesn't matter if he comes back. I'll chase him back home for a night!"

"Okay then!"

Alicia wasn't aware of the loneliness in the depths of Freya's eyes, and her attitude was also completely different from before, yet she was still there happily rambling,

"In that case, we can have supper together as well! There's a barbecue stall down both the streets and they even sell various kinds of soups. They have salty, sweet, sour, and spicy ones. You can get anything down there..."

"It would be better for us to buy a few of them back. We can separate them into different bowls!" Alicia thought.

She found it funny as she imagined Frederick helplessly sitting on the ground in front of a pile of dishes. She wasn't planning to be merciful on him this time; she really wanted him to do three days' worth of dishes!

The corner of Freya's mouth twitched for a second. For the first time in a long while, a smile emerged on her face.

"Okay! Ally, let's have a feast tomorrow once you're done with work! I'll close the store in the afternoon and prepare a few dishes. Let's have a good meal together!"

"That's great! Aunt Freya, can you bring over some of your meatballs? I love the meatballs that you make the most. They're tasty and not greasy at all!"

Alicia and Freya were chatting away while they calculated the remaining stocks of perfumes on the shelf. For the first time, the store was filled with laughter and happiness.

Meanwhile, in the Randolph family's mansion, Danica's phone rang as soon as she was done packing her luggage.

She answered her phone as quickly as she could. Lindsay's voice echoed through the call. "I just came back and I heard that you're leaving already?"

"I've booked a flight for tomorrow at 1 AM!" Danica exclaimed.

"Have you given up already? I've fulfilled what I promised you!" On the bed, Lindsay looked at her recently polished bright red nails and spoke.

"It's such a pity that it isn't the right time for you. Even Frederick has gone on a business trip too!"
