Chapter 139

Ever since that incident, Alicia had been heading out early and returning home late for the next two days. However, Frederick did not take it to heart. In addition, since she said she was on her period, the two of them simply cuddled to sleep every day., Soon, it was Friday. Alicia had arranged everything and double- checked them before she began to prepare for her evening part-time job. As she didn't know much about perfume, she wanted to do some last- minute research on the Internet., As soon as she opened the webpage, a piece of news suddenly popped up., A rising star in the design industry, the successor of Master Nirva?, It was her? Hannah Sharman?, In the photo, she was holding something like a trophy or a certificate. The man on her side was Frederick! Looking at the two in the photo, Alicia's heart suddenly sank but she still clicked on the picture. The picture was taken the night before?, They went to an award ceremony the night before and met Master Nirva's nephew. They had an enjoyable conversation and Hannah would later be introduced to Master Nirva?, Looking at the photos of them whispering in each other's ears and drinking, Alicia felt utterly displeased., It was obvious that Master Nirva's nephew was very deferential towards Frederick in the picture. He obviously was doing it to show his respect towards Frederick., If it weren't for Frederick and Carson, the prize would've belonged to Alicia!, Alicia's sharp nails from her clenched fists pricked her palms as she closed her eyes from the heartache., Was she really not meant to be a designer? She had been studying and practicing professionally for so many years and had received some small awards too. Being a designer was her once a lifelong dream! However, because of the incident three years ago, she, as an inexperienced graduate, did not get the chance to make her designs widely known, thus there was no market for her works. She couldn't pull through and had to give up. At present, she just wanted to get her hands on something memorable. Yet, she had once again lost her opportunity!, Fashion trends kept changing all the time and it was very important to take the lead of the trend!, However, she had been out of this industry for too long!, Therefore, how could she know what was the current trend? Some things, once they had been let go, it would be much tougher to get them back!, If it wasn't for the incident a few years back, if she was still the same lady in Bayton City, even if her design wasn't top-notch, she could at least have her own studio, just like Victoria! Perhaps, she might also have her own brand and some popularity too!, However, this dream had currently become a regret of hers. She wondered if there would be a chance for her to continue pursuing her dream in this life., She didn't expect that her small wish would be destroyed by him again!, Why must it have something to do with him?, If Hannah really became Master Nirva's student, Alicia would despise him even more!, Couldn't she have a career and love at the same time? Why were all the men who were closest to her, the ones to destroy her career?, This feeling was absolutely terrible!, Suddenly, Alicia was not in the mood to browse the internet anymore. Therefore, she shut it down right away., At this time, her cell phone rang.

"Victoria?

", Learning that Victoria had helped her acquire a part-time job, Alicia quickly lowered her voice and murmured,

"Let's talk on Whatsapp, I am still in my office.

", There was a rule in the company that employees were not allowed to get a part-time job. Although sometimes the superiors would turn a blind eye, it would be best not to be too conspicuous about it. Victoria had acquired a job that required Alicia to be on the cover of a magazine. The shooting would be on Saturday morning. As for the time taken, it would depend on their efficiency on that day and the salary would be 8,000 dollars. However, Alicia had to go through an interview first, it wasn't a guarantee that she'll get the job., After communicating for a while, Alicia agreed after seeing that she had time for it., They were on the phone for more than half an hour. After finishing the call, Alicia quickly printed the work report and packed it up to prepare for her work at night., As the work venue was in the opposite direction of her house and Alicia was afraid of being late for her work too, she just bought a bun to fill her stomach and rushed to her job., As soon as she arrived, she was informed that there was a performance on the stage. There were four young part-time promoters too. The company also sent two men to lead the way, and each of them was responsible to promote it at one stretch of the street. The others would distribute flyers in front of the stage., Of course, there was no commission for the ones who distributed the flyers!, As for the three promoters, each of them had to sell at least one set to complete the task. Otherwise, 200 dollars would be deducted from their wage! Each of them was given ten sets of gift boxes. One set of gift boxes was 199 dollars, which was a combination of miniature perfumes., Alicia wanted to give it a try, therefore she chose to promote the perfume. There were 3 forks in the street, each with a manageable crowd size. The two other promoters made their choices first, which are to work in the prosperous area. Thus, she was left to work in the last street. In her opinion, it was not about the crowds but her promoting and persuading skills., After putting on the vest that the store had provided which had the brand's logo, Alicia began to work., That night, everything went extremely well. In the end, she sold a total of five sets. Thus, she earned an extra 400 dollars after deducting the one compulsory set., The owner of the shop was quite credible as he paid them on the spot. Alicia was full of confidence and was in a good mood as she left., When she got home, Frederick had not returned home yet. After feeling down for a few seconds, her mood got better eventually., After taking a shower and getting into bed, she dozed off instantly due to exhaustion., As soon as she fell asleep, Frederick got home and he entered the room while taking off his tie. He was inexplicably in a good mood once he saw her., After working and accompanying the clients for the whole day, he was exhausted as well. After taking a shower, he went to bed too. Both of them fell into a deep sleep., The next day was Saturday. Alicia had to attend the interview, hence she freed up her morning. The interview was at nine, thus she slept a little longer than usual. As for Frederick, he had to accompany an important client. Therefore, he left before the clock hit seven in the morning., Once again, the two of them did not interact with each other., Alicia did a ten-minute high-intensity dance while warming up breakfast after she woke up. She knew from experience that her body and face would look the best after doing an exercise. Her face would look slimmer and it could be seen clearly in the mirror., She felt that being in a good state would help her get the job., She prepared a warm cup of black coffee which was said to help in reducing water retention. After eating a little bit of corn to fill her stomach, she drove to the shooting site., On the way, Victoria called her and invited her to have lunch after the shoot when she was free., After arriving at the building in a hurry, Alicia couldn't help but be shocked by the majestic buildings in front of her. After a series of questions from the staff there, she successfully entered the building and the vigilance in her heart died down a little., Nothing would happen in broad daylight in such a proper place., It was as if she had entered a maze. After walking around in circles twice, she felt dizzy and disoriented. She followed the signboards, yet she couldn't find the elevator. Thus, she stopped a cleaner to ask for directions.,

"Hello! Miss, may I know where the elevator is, please? I'm going to the 16th floor!

", Then, Alicia trotted all the way. She turned left and right before rushing into the elevator in the last second. The other elevator arrived as soon as she entered. Trevor, who was coming out from that elevator, looked back in doubt..., Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
