However, she instinctively crossed her legs to protect herself, which aroused a burst of exclamation., She lowered her eyes and felt like crying. She did not dare to look at Frederick., But, she could not stop working!, Although she was just a temporary worker, she had signed a temporary contract. She thought of the default fees and could only try her best to cheer up. She walked around the car slowly and posed for pictures., At this moment, she knew she was absolutely in deep trouble., Every time the cameras flashed, she could feel her heart beat harder and faster. After an unknown period of time, it felt like an entire century had passed. Every second felt like years., She was in a trance and saw a man in a suit rushing up to the stage. He whispered a few words to the host. Then, the host picked up the microphone.,

"Good news! Good news! The famous movie star, Miss Nancy, is a loyal fan of our Ferrari sports car. It's our honor to have her here. Now, let's invite Miss Nancy to sing for us-

", With a burst of applause, the host stepped back and stood beside Alicia. He whispered,

"You can leave now! Miss Nancy will replace you. You should go look for Manager Simpson!

" Alicia froze for two seconds before she dragged her painful feet and walked down the stage slowly. She was still puzzled in her heart., Wasn't she supposed to work until 9 p.m.? Why was she replaced halfway through?, She looked back and saw a young woman dressed in an ordinary dress being surrounded by a group of people. In truth, she did not know her. She only felt that woman looked a little familiar! A celebrity was certainly different from her. Soon, there was loud applause, and exclamations were heard., As she looked at her, Alicia paused and muttered in her heart again.,

"That's strange. Someone like her should not be here! Why isn't she on the main stage? Will my salary be deducted?

", While she was still confused, the urgent voice of Manager Simpson came,

"Miss-Miss Blanchard-

", The manager was sweating all over and his breath was unstable. Obviously, he had rushed over!, When Alicia came to her senses, she uttered,

"Manager, what's going on? What should I do if I have been replaced halfway through? My work for the whole afternoon won't be in vain, would it?

" She was so tired that she felt like her legs were going to fall off. If her salary was really deducted, she would suffer a great loss!, At the thought of this, she could not help feeling a little wronged., The manager kept waving his hand. He was so anxious that his face turned red.

"No, no! This is our responsibility. You will receive the full payment—

", The manager patted his chest and took in big breaths.,

"It is because your platform has the biggest response from the crowd. The situation with Miss Nancy wasn't planned. Hence, we chose the platform with the most crowd. It is not your responsibility! You don't need to stand on the stage anymore. You can go back! Of course, you will get the full amount! As for your commission, I will calculate it tomorrow. We will transfer it to your bank account. Rest assured!

"

"Then, what about the salary? Can I get it now?

" she asked., As soon as Frederick came near, he heard her pitiful words., The manager nodded.,

"Yes, you can! Please wait for two minutes. I've already asked someone to get the money. Or, perhaps, I can transfer it to you now!

", When Alicia was considering whether she should wait, she felt uneasy. After all, she had been cheated on by other people before. While she was hesitating, a cold voice could be heard.

"Aren't you going to leave yet?

", When Alicia returned from her shock, she saw Frederick's side profile. His face was as dark as gathering storm clouds. She bit her lips softly.,

"Give me two minutes! My bag is still in the cabinet, As soon as she said that, Frederick's face twisted., She felt an immense fear in her heart. Alicia retreated a little, but she still picked up the courage to look at him with her big eyes as she mumbled.

"... I'll go get my bag!

", As soon as she turned around, the manager beside her said,

"Miss Blanchard, Linda will help you get it. It would be faster that way!

", Looking at the high heels on her feet, she was indeed in great pain and did not want to move. Hence, she told Linda, who was wearing normal shoes, her password. After a while, Linda returned with her things. At the same time, another assistant had brought two stacks of new bills over.,

"Miss, here is your salary. Please count it!

",

"There's no need for that! Thank you!

", Alicia put the money in her bag. She then smiled back at him and looked up, only to see that Frederick was already walking out the door., She knew that he must be in a rage. Therefore, Alicia hurriedly waved at the manager.

"Manager, I will leave first. Excuse me!

" She trotted all the way to the door., As she chased after him, she did not know what to tell him. The moment Alicia opened her mouth, a fat figure rushed up to her.,

"Miss! What a coincidence! We are really fated!

", The man stretched out his hands and approached her.

"You are so beautiful! Let's get to know each other. Let me treat you to a cup of tea? No, how about... coffee?

" Looking up, she realized that it was the vulgar man who thought he could buy her earlier on. Alicia suddenly felt nauseous.,

"Go away. I'm not interested in you or your money. Don't block my way!

", She was wearing high heels and a narrow skirt which were limiting her movements. She was about to leave when the man blocked her path with a naughty smile.,

"Don't do this! Let's have a talk. Why don't we eat something first and then go to a jewelry shop? Maybe you'll be interested in me after a while?

", This time, before Alicia could speak, a violent male voice could be heard,

"Get lost-

", Being frightened by Frederick's powerful aura, both of them were stunned. Alicia shrank from Frederick as the man turned around too.,

"Who... who are you? So what if you are handsome! Have you forgotten who you are just because you look good? Do you think you can earn money with your looks? When the lights are turned off, look doesn' matter! Do you understand?

" he scolded., The middle part of the sentence was obviously meant for Alicia. The man even turned around to glare at her., Alicia did not even bother to roll her eyes at him. She thought,

"If he does not care about looks, then why would he still pursue me? He even wanted to buy me? D*mn-

", She felt like puking!, Frederick did not even say anything. He waved his hands, and several security guards rushed over to drag the man away.,

"Hey, who are you guys? Do you know who I am? How dare you treat me like this? Do you want to lose your jobs?

".,

"Let me go! How can you be so rude?

",

"Don't you know the customer is king? I will complain about you! I am a rich man. I am your king!

", Even as he was being held, the man's voice was full of dissatisfaction. It was really loud too., Alicia subconsciously turned her head. Suddenly, Frederick threw his black suit at her.

"What are you looking at? Don't you think it's shameful?

", Before she came back to her senses, Frederick had already left with large strides., Alicia took the clothes and wrapped herself in them. After hesitating for a moment, she chased after him.
