Chapter 59
Pausing in his steps, Frederick's face suddenly darkened. Why is she talking in such a gentle voice? Who is she talking to?
There was a sizzling sound of fried food in the kitchen, and she giggled from time to time. Frederick clenched his fists and his heart seemed to ache.
No wonder she was acting so abnormal. She even got up early in the morning.
At this time, Alicia's urgent voice came from the kitchen again. "Hey, don't come over! It's not a great time now! Let's meet outside later, alright?"
"Okay! Don't worry! All right!" "Be good. Don't cause trouble! Be obedient, okay?" she said again.
Frederick walked into the kitchen with a sullen face. He saw that Alicia was dressed in sportswear, carrying a spatula in one hand. She had her earphones on. He didn't know who she was talking to, and she was smiling happily.
She was frying the eggs one by one. When Alicia turned around, she was shocked by his gloomy face. She cowered and quickly pulled off her earphones. She looked as if she was caught doing something wrong.
"Hubby? Why are you up so early?"
"Tell me the truth, or do you want me to check it myself? Alicia, you are really something!" Frederick roared. How dare she be a two-timer. She must have a death wish!
"Eh? What, what truth?"
It was evident that he was fuming. However, Alicia didn't understand what he meant!
"Are you still trying to cover it up?" Frederick asked.
He squinted at her, and he was shooting daggers at her. "Who is your 'boyfriend' who you are going to meet later?"
Realization dawned on her in an instant. Alicia heaved a sigh of relief. "Hubby, you are actually mad at this!"
"I was almost scared to death!" Alicia thought to herself.
Patting her chest and crouching down, Alicia carried a little grey poodle from the corner, and there was an exquisite-looking tag hanging on its neck. Alicia was still a little afraid of it, but the corners of her mouth were raised.
"Hubby, are you talking about this 'boyfriend'? I picked him up when I was jogging in the morning. Someone lost it and he followed me since then! I called the number, but no one answered. I had to come back to make breakfast. I found it so cute, thus, I brought it back first. I was afraid that it would bark and disturb your rest if I left him outside. Hence, I let him in."
She wanted to send it back before Frederick woke up, but she didn't expect that the owner would contact her so late. She couldn't be late to work. Hence, she could only meet its owner at another place later. She was afraid that Frederick would find out. Therefore, she was very nervous earlier on.
"The owner has just contacted me, and he will come to pick it up later! It won't stay for long. It's very obedient! Hubby, don't be angry. I promise to send it away soon, and I won't dirty the floor!"
Putting down the dog, Alicia patted the dog's head and hid it behind her, signaling it to not run around.
Only then did Frederick understand that she was talking to the dog moments ago. Those flirtatious words were not what he had imagined. Frederick's face suddenly fell as he took a seat.
Hethen said, 'Tm hungry!"
"Alright! Wait a minute..."
After washing her hands, Alicia served him breakfast and placed the delicious-looking dishes on the table one by one. Then, she secretly gave the dog some bread and ham at the corner.
She caressed the dog's head. "Eat it obediently. Don't make trouble and don't dirty the floor!"
Frederick peeked at her from the corner of his eye. He picked up his cup of coffee and took a sip.
Seeing that Alicia had gone to clean up the pots and pans after feeding the dog, Frederick said, "Let's eat first!"
Was she so afraid of him that she didn't want to eat with him?
"I'm not hungry. I'll just drink a glass of milk later!"
"Alicia..." Frederick said in a low voice.
It was obvious that he was already slightly unhappy. Alicia rolled her eyes and could only wash her hands and sit down at the table.
This young master was really troublesome. Did she have to accompany him to eat?
After pouring a glass of milk, Alicia slowly took a few sips. In fact, she was hungry, but she wanted to lose weight as soon as possible. She was afraid that he would give her more food. Hence, she took a small piece of corn and ate it.
When both of them had almost finished their meal, Frederick suddenly looked at her.
"I don't care what you did in the past. In the future, if you have a dodgy relationship with any man again, you will surely bear the consequences! Do you understand?"
His eyes were cold, and he was warning her! Suddenly, Alicia shuddered. "Oh..."
Wasn't he overthinking it? How could she have the time for that?
After packing up, Frederick took her to the appointed place. He accompanied her as she handed the dog over to a young man and sent her to the company. After that, he drove to work.
Frederick had just finished his work in the President's office of Soaver International. He just picked up his phone when there was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" It was Chet. Frederick placed the phone back and said, "I was just about to look for you!"
"What's up? What's the matter?" Chet asked as he handed over the information in his hand and sat down.
"Help me order a white car! It's better if it's smaller and safe! It's for a girl!" Frederick said.
He was going to give a car to a woman? Chet almost dropped his jaw in shock. "Ah? Which brand and what specifications are you looking for?"
"Maybe Audi or Bentley! The price doesn't matter! I just want it as soon as possible!"
"There's no limit to the price? He's so generous!" Chet thought in his heart. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Chet had begun to doubt his own ears. He looked straight at him for three seconds and asked, "May I ask who is the one you will be giving it to? I mean... whose name should I put it under?"
Frederick lifted his gaze and paused for a moment before answering, "Alicia Blanchard!"
"Ahem, Frederick, aren't you afraid of scaring her to death? Any one of these two brands will cost millions of dollars! Do you want her to drive a car worth millions of dollars a month when she only has a salary of 30,000 dollars a month?"
Could she afford to maintain it?
"Is her salary... that low?" Frederick was obviously a little surprised.
Chet lowered his head. He was speechless.
"Master Clements, your wife is just an office lady.
Besides, she is already a senior office lady! With her current age and income, she has quite a high salary as an office lady. If she is not a spendthrift, she can live a very comfortable life in this city!"
"Well, then put it under my name and let her drive it! Choose a low- key one that wouldn't attract too much public attention. Get it soon!"
"Okay, I understand. I'll get to it as soon as possible!"
After taking back the document, Chet stood up and turned around. He hesitated for a while and said, "There's something..."
Chet wondered if he should tell him about Miss Randolph. He had news about her.
At this time, the intercom on the table rang. Frederick answered the phone first and then asked Chet after ending the call, "What's the matter?"
"It's not a big deal. Let's talk about it when we have the time!" Chet replied. Seeing that Frederick was in a good mood, Chet thought for a while and decided to disclose it another time.
As soon as the office door was closed, Frederick picked up his cell phone...
