Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

She had barely gotten started with Elijah. Could it be that her time was already over?

As the thought passed through her mind, Carolien suddenly could not sit still. In the office, she paced back and forth with an anxious expression.

"This man is really fickle. How can he just cast me aside after having slept with me?"

"I can't force things or it might backfire and those brats outside will get their way."

"What should I do?"

Her gaze swept across the phone and landed on the home page of her social media. With a flash of inspiration, she said, "Yes!"

She could always post something to grab his attention.

"Whatever, I'll try my best!"

There was no way he never scrolled through social media.

She took a picture of the coffee machine and captioned it, "Even though you're small, you get the job done. My stupid little penguin, you're not that high-tech but you're adorable! Teehee."

After posting that, Carolien was in a good mood. Carolien turned off her phone and went back to work.

The next morning, she took another photo of the sky and posted a weather report. At night, she was busy at the nightclub, so she took a picture of a woman's back and posted that.

After seeing his clients and dealing with the affairs outside, Elijah returned to the company. Inside the conference room, he looked down at the multitude of reports and felt a headache. Just then, his phone on the table lit up. He tapped in to look at it before replying to a few messages.

There was a lot of noise beside his ears, which made him feel restless. He clicked on his social media out of boredom and casually scrolled through. The screen was filled with all sorts of posts.

"The starry sky is so beautiful, but it's not enough."

This post was attached with two very meaningful pictures. One was the starry sky and another was the figure of a woman standing alone in the night. It was a very impressive shot that highlighted a half-body figure of the person standing nearest to the camera amongst the many shadows.

His eyes lit up and he couldn't help but smile. "Is someone missing me?"

"Today's weather is nice and sunny. Yay!"

"I received a small gift today! I'm so happy!" Attached was a picture of the gift along with a blooming rose.

"The weather is changing. It's cold and raining now. Remember to keep warm, everyone!"

"I just thought of something." The picture was of a woman's back. She was wearing a sexy T-shirt that had a pink diamond phoenix printed on it. Under the light, it shone dazzlingly.

"Even though you're small, you get the job done. My stupid little penguin, you're not that high-tech but you're adorable! Teehee." Attached was a picture of a coffee machine shaped like a penguin.

Most of Elijah's friends rarely posted on social media. Being bombarded with so many new posts, a surge of memories surfaced in his mind. Subconsciously, he chuckled out loud.

"Haha."

"This woman is interesting. Does she have nothing better to do than report the weather every morning?"

His laughter was like a clap of thunder in the silent conference room. All eyes were focused on him, and even Hart and Hudson turned their heads in astonishment.

Only then did he snap back into reality. He turned off his phone and retracted his smile. "Continue!"

When he spoke, it was obvious that he was in a much better mood than before.

He had planned to go to the nightclub that night, but by the time he finished work and meetings with his clients, it was already close to midnight. He had drunk quite a bit. Furthermore, the nightclub wasn't on the way. Ultimately, he chose to go home.

Lying down on the bed, he went to refresh Carolien's profile again. Unexpectedly, she had not updated anything new.

Turning off his phone, he went back to sleep.

When he woke up the next morning, he went to check Carolien's weather forecast. To his disappointment, she had not made any posts. After washing up and tidying up, he went to work.

Elijah had to welcome a few friends over the next three days. It was only after that that he finally had some free time. He habitually clicked on his social media. However, he realized that her last post was dated back to the last time he checked it. She hadn't updated since then. The last few posts were the weather updates, the starry sky, and the rose. All of a sudden, Elijah felt his heart lurch. "Why hasn't she updated?"

"Also, who gave her that flower?"

"Has something happened to her?"

"Could she have set her eyes on a new target?"

In an instant, Elijah's face turned black. Before he wrapped up his meeting with his clients, Elijah left.

Without any warning, Elijah went straight to Misty's Nightclub. This time, he didn't bring anyone with him. After all, he had been here before and was a big shot. All the staff members of Misty's knew him.

Leading him through the door, the waiter was smart. He didn't bother calling his name. In a light voice, he said, "Sir, will you be booking out the entire room or...?" He wanted to ask if he would be spending the night in the lady owner's office instead.

Before he could speak, Elijah's gaze fell. He caught sight of a woman dressed in red dancing the Waltz with a man in the middle of the dance floor. She seemed to like wearing red. Contrasted against her pale skin, she stood out amongst the crowd. At this moment, the two seemed to be whispering something to each other as they laughed. Their actions were very intimate.

"Get your boss to come to see me in Room 1!" With a wave of his hand, Elijah headed for the staircase.

The waiter did not dare to dally. He grabbed another waiter and whispered a few words into his ear before hurrying to follow Elijah.

After a spin on the dance floor, Carolien noticed one of the servers beckoning her hand at her frantically. Immediately, she

Mouritse. I have to deal withel

stopped. "My apologies, Mr,

something. I'll dance with you another time. Let's get drinks soon!"

Making her way over quickly, she asked, "Maisie, what's the matter?"

It was not often that she had the chance to relax and enjoy herself.

"Miss Jones, Mr. Luther is here. He's asked you to see him in Room 1. Apparently,

he doesn't seem to be in a very good mood, so it's best you go see him as soon as you can!"

"Elijah?"

Lifting her gaze, Carolien felt the laziness in her body get replaced by vitality. Her eyes lit up.

Maisie nodded heavily. "Yes!"

"Okay! I got it!"

Waving her hand, Carolien was a little excited. She subconsciously took out her mobile phone and checked it. He hadn't called or sent her a text.

She thought that he had cast her aside.

After sending the waitress away, Carolien lingered for a while. She went to the bathroom to check her makeup and freshened up before going upstairs. After taking a breath and knocking on the door, she opened the door and went in.

"You're here! Why didn't you tell me in advance?"

Smiling, she walked forward and glanced at him. Just as the waiter said, he was here alone. She bent down and rushed over. However, before she could even shoot him a smile, he pushed her away.

In the next second, Elijah crossed his legs. He bent over and picked up the wine glass on the table and swirled it around. The hand he was using was the hand nearer to her. Obviously, he was indicating for her to keep her distance.

"What's going on?"

"Why is he being so cold to me?"

The thought had just passed through Carolien's mind when a cold gaze suddenly

shot over. "You're a good dancer."

In his mind, he thought, "Ignoring everything I've told you, are you?"

His words hit Carolien like a bolt of lightning. Instantly, she understood what wasnoveldrama

going on.

She pulled up her clothes and sat up straight. Then she turned to look at him and said, "Mr. Mouritse is an old friend of my mother's. He has been taking care of me for years. Not only

that, he helped to take care of

running Misty's. That is why...

Cóntent

It was rare for him to drop by. Furthermore, he had asked. If she ever needed his

help in the future, it would be wise to maintain good relations with him. She felt bad saying no.

Elijah's eyes darkened and he threw a cold look at her. It was as if he was saying, "You dare to talk back? Keep talking!"

Pursing her lips, Carolien knowingly went silent. She tentatively raised her hand to

nudge him. "Okay, I was wrong, Next time, I won't dance with anyone anymore,

okay?"

This man was really annoying. He disappeared for days, and now when he finally showed up, he was picking on her.

In the next second, Elijah slapped her hand again. He still wasn't satisfied.

"His temper is really..."

She had no choice but to climb up and kneel on the sofa. Carolien rested her chin

on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his neck like a spoiled child.

"Don't be angry anymore, please. I didn't know you would come over. If I had known, I wouldn't have danced with him!"

What did that mean?

"Does she mean that she'll follow my orders when I'm around and then secretly do

what she wants behind my back?"

He shot her another sharp glare. Realizing that she had misspoken, Carolien

panicked.

"I didn't mean it that way! I just feel a little wronged. This is my first time dancing in

so long, and it just so happened that you saw me. Now, you're mad at me too. I feel so distressed."

Looking at the adorable woman beside him, Elijah narrowed his eyes. "Is that

distress? Her eyes are shining as brightly as ever. If anything, she looks like she's over the moon."

A woman who liked to smile, especially a pretty one, always made people feel good. Not to mention how initiative she was, her soft smile secretly made him happy. His heart melted and he couldn't bear to criticize her anymore. "What have you been doing recently?"

Seeing that he wasn't pressing her anymore, Carolien snuck up to him like a snake. Without hesitation, she answered, "Missing you!"

"How so?" Her sweet mouth was great at appeasing others.

"Huh?"

"How can I answer this?" With a thought, Carolien was about to say that she thought of him day and night. Before she could answer, a cold voice sounded.

"Posting on social media? Updating the weather every day?" He was great at changing the topic.

As their eyes met, her eyes lit up again. Carolien smiled and said, "He did see it!"

Resting her chin on his shoulder, Carolien laughed and did not comment. "So this move was useful. He took the bait and came over."

Carolien was extremely intelligent. She was supposed to be the one in a lower position of power, but she made it such that he was always the one who came to

her. She was an expert at playing the game!

A hand reached

out and pulled her into his arms. Elijah grabbed her slender waist and let her sit in front of him in the same position as last time. They faced each other. His nose rubbed against the tip of her nose. He raised his hand and patted

her under her waist.

"You're such a vixen!"

Carolien shrank into his arms and blushed unconsciously. "I don't know what you

mean."
