The melodious music played and Alicia's heart was pounding hard. While waiting for the phone to be picked up, her chest felt like being crushed by a mountain and her heart thumped like drum beats every minute and every second.

She felt as if she had waited for a century before she heard a familiar voice from the other end, "Hello, who's there?"

Deep and cold, but as seductive as usual.

Alicia held the phone, but she was inexplicably nervous and excited and didn't speak for a long time.

"Hello! I'm Frederick..."

When Alicia finally managed to adjust her breathing and speak, a slightly harsh but sweet and tender voice came from the other end,

"Mr. Clements, who is it? Don't tell me it is something important and you have to cancel our appointment. You have already promised to... listen to my lecture!"

It was a clear female voice, and it sounded very close.

Without thinking, Alicia hung up the phone with a snap. Was there really a woman beside him?

Listen to a lecture?

He was going to attend a woman's lecture? When did he become so free and considerate?"

Unknowingly, Alicia's eyes got teary. She was still dreaming! Why did she wish for him to miss her and stay single for her?

Alicia laughed forcibly and suddenly felt that she was the biggest fool in the world! How could she take Frederick's words seriously? The love of a man may only be applicable on the bed! At least, it should be like this for her!

But now, when she thought of those sweet words and lovey-dovey moments from the past, they felt like the biggest joke in the world!

Then, the fire scene and the dark alley appeared in her mind...
