Chapter 615
Victoria then came to her senses. Only then did she see a group of outstanding men standing before her eyes.
She wasn't surprised by Trevor's appearance at her fashion show, but it was odd to have Casterwich City's famous Four Great Masters to be here all at once. What was more shocking was seeing Alicia hanging out with these gentlemen; it obviously filled her head with questions.
Wasn't Alicia already seeing an "uncle"? What was happening now?
Just when those words were on the tip of her tongue, she felt that it wasn't the right time for her to clear her doubts by asking these questions out loud just yet!
It was the same for Alicia when she had to reconsider her words before saying them in front of the others. Even though she didn't know the reason for such hesitation, she had obviously made the right guess on the sparks shared between Trevor and Victoria by just a glance. However, didn't she already have a boyfriend? Why was there such an flirtatious yet obscure atmosphere between the both of them?
Therefore, they only shared eye contact with confusion, coincidently avoiding the embarrassment between them.
At this point, a waiter came in with a bouquet of flowers in his hands, "Designer Jill, Here's a bouquet that was instructed to be delivered to you personally!"
They were her favourite pink tulips!
Not even opening the card that came with the bouquet as soon as she saw the familiar packaging, Victoria's expression turned dull abruptly, "Alright, please take it out!"
"Where should I place it? Would you like it to be sent up to your room?"
Her tone became a little harsh before the waiter could finish his sentence. She urged, "Throw it anywhere, just throw it away!"
At the very next second, the waiter cleverly turned away and left while she tidied up her hair in annoyance, "My apologies. I still have some things to follow up on. Please excuse me for now!"
Victoria tugged at Alicia's hand before she left, "We'll hang out another day!"
"That would be great!"
Alicia could feel something was wrong with the tight grab as she patted the back of Victoria's hand comfortingly. It seemed to be a useful gesture that calmed her anger down. She then nodded her head and left with a smile.
Meanwhile, Danica was on her phone as she arrived at Shine Pearl Tower. She was in a terrible mood, and was struggling to withstand the pressure and frustrations she was feeling.
"Mr. Conley, I've reached the entrance of Shine Pearl Tower. The club that you mentioned..."
"... Third floor on the southern back alley. Alright, I got it!"
She looked around to confirm her current location, then she hung up the phone and sighed. As soon as she turned around, she caught a glimpse of a familiar-looking black vehicle, where she saw a car plate number that she knew.
Frederick's car?
At Shine Pearl Tower? Was he here?
Her heart suddenly started beating faster and faster, and she instinctively turned to her side. Rows of luxurious cars came into her sight before she wanted to take a step forward, but she stopped. She took a look at the other cars, and she found that they were obviously not as luxurious. "Spyker? Maybach?
Why did these cars look so similar to the style of those few people? Was it possible that the others aside from Trevor were here too?
Shine Pearl Tower was known for being the second-largest multimedia premise under Sofare Entertainment. Could there be a grand event going on tonight?
Danica walked towards the main entrance, but did not find any special advertisement or publicity of any events. She then moved forward and asked around, leading her straight up to the huge exhibition hall.
As she walked out from the corridor, a tall and familiar figure in black entered her sight without warning. Was that Frederick Clements?
Her red lips were parted, and with a face full of happiness and excitement, she quickly took a few steps forward. A feminine voice came out from nowhere before she could say anything,
"How would I know when you didn't tell me anything? Um... Let's get back home before we continue with this discussion! I wouldn't have thought of such a coincidence that Victoria was actually the one who refused to go on a blind date with Trevor!"
In fact, they had no reason to hide their relationship from Victoria now!
Alicia actually heard Victoria complain in the spur of the moment. Her family seemed to be worried that she still hadn't gotten married at this age, and they arranged blind dates for her with ignorant and incompetent playboys?
Who would have thought that Trevor, of the two famous Clements, had been described as an ignorant and incompetent playboy? In addition to her disdainful tone, she really thought that he was just another rich kid who was "unlearned and unskilled"!
However, what was going on with these two people?
Poking at her forehead, Frederick snorted coldly, "Confess now! How many more friends of yours do you have that I don't know about?"
They obviously shared a close friendship like sisters judging by how they reacted earlier while he didn't know anything about it! He wouldn't be in such a mess like a headless fly when he lost Alicia if he ever knew that she had a best friend!
"Hubby, Victoria is a woman!" He was speaking in a tone as if he had caught her cheating!
Once again, he gave her another poke on her forehead as he grunted, "Yes, she is a woman, but so what? You might come out and say you like women!"
After a round of teasing and jokes, he then gently pinched her cheek.
"It is my fault to have neglected your needs! Thinking that I might lose you forever, I felt like a complete dead person without a soul! We wouldn't have been separated for this long if only took the time to care for you and mixed around with your circle of friends!"
He then pulled her into his strong arms and laid a regretful kiss on her forehead, "Never, never will we part again!"
Other than Alicia's parents, he didn't
take the initiative to know where she was born, her background, or even her colleagues at work. In that
instant, Frederick felt a sense of
insecurity when she was once again like a string instead of a kite that he could grab tightly in his hands, somewhat waiting to be Broken one day.
"No, it was me who didn't open up my heart to you and kept secrets! We were both at fault, but it's never too late for us to reconnect from now on!"
Their love story happened quickly when both of them didn't build trust in their relationship. The couple had their own deep wounds from the past that they wouldn't want to touch on. It would take time for two hearts to come together.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
As their eyes met, Frederick nodded heavily and
said, "Mhm!"
The unspoken bond between them needed to be honed for them to be in a healthy relationship!
"Let's get inside! Victoria has done a great show today! We should be there as her greatest support for the remaining exhibition! We won't leave until the end, but we will definitely go for a date tomorrow, just the two of us. By the way, please remind me to leave Victoria my phone number. I can't really remember hers..."
"Alright! Why are your hands so cold? Are you freezing?"
"No, I just washed my hands earlier. Hehe..."
"You naughty girl! Don't let yourself get cold, especially when it's winter now!"
Chatting lovingly, the couple walked back to the hall. He paused momentarily to warm her hands by rubbing them in his, and he didn't forget to adjust the fluffy shawl around her shoulder.
In the corner, Danica's heart ached as she saw the couple sharing their intimacy before her eyes. She clenched her fist so tightly that they creaked. "Alicia! It's her again!"
Victoria? Who was she? What did this have to do with her?
A press conference?
A series of words flashed in her mind when she suddenly had a thought and followed them into the exhibition hall.
