Chapter 257
In the days following that, Alicia would receive a huge bouquet of blue enchantresses every time she entered the office. Every time it happened, her good mood would be completely ruined. Sometimes, she felt the urge to just storm out., However, the others in the office had begun to get used to it after the initial shock. Therefore, the news spread throughout the entire building-Alicia was being pursued by a rich man and she would receive flowers every single day. Everyone was waiting for her to give in and become that man's girlfriend., The rumors about the top-tiered blue enchantress became more and more dramatic -some said that it was custom-made, some even said that it was gold-plated!, It was the first time Alicia had heard that flowers could be plated with gold. Others from the nearby block also came in curiosity to witness the 'gold-plated flowers' and Alicia didn't mind at all. Whoever liked it could take it!, However, she was deeply irritated every time she entered the office., Alicia had already confirmed that it was from Jeremy and she had called him in a fit of anger. In the end, she only received one single sentence in reply.,
"I'm working outstation! If you don't like it, throw it away!
", Alicia instantly fell speechless. Every day, she felt that she was on the verge of exploding in anger., One day after work, Alicia was so irritated again that she was afraid that it would affect her mood at home as well. Thus, she drove around town. In the end, she had nowhere to go, hence she could only head to a restaurant and order some food, then walk around on the streets., She was also worried that she would spend out of boredom, thus she had deliberately chosen to visit high-end shops to do some window-shopping so that she wouldn't have the urge to spend., Her father was getting better day by day and his body checkups were being carried out in order. If everything went well, the operation can be arranged soon. She had to spend her money wisely. This had always been the primary principle in her heart., Moreover, her family couldn't keep renting a house for the rest of their lives; they wouldn't feel like they were living in their true home. Besides, after her father's surgery, he still couldn't get out of bed for at leas a year. If he didn't have stable accommodation, he would have to face the risk of moving often; how could he bear with it?, Subconsciously, Alicia wanted to make more money and help her parents settle the down payment of a house, even if it was only a one-bedroom apartment!, She could only calm down when she thought of her family., Fortunately, luck was still with her. Although her family had suffered this setback, everyone was still alive. Compared to the money and everything that they had lost, her father's awakening was the greatest gift from God to her., Alicia thought about it and sighed.,
"Even if it is a second-hand house that is about 40 to 50 square meters, it will cost more than 1 million. A down payment of more than 300,000 dollars is quite a burden! Based on my salary, I can't save that much even if I don't eat for a whole year. The speed in which I'm earning money can't even keep up with the inflation of housing prices-
", Alicia wandered along the street and felt dejected.,
"Do I have to borrow money from him again?
" she wondered to herself., Deep down in her heart, Alicia was unwilling to do so in every possible way. The last person whom she wanted to look down upon her was Frederick., She didn't know why but she just wasn't willing to have that happen., As she glanced around, she noticed a food stall nearby. Was that ice cream?, Not far ahead, several young girls were chatting away as they queued up for ice cream. Alicia headed over and fished out for a small change as well.,
"I'll have the vanilla one!
", After she received her ice cream, she slowly licked it happily. Not long after, someone suddenly tapped her on her shoulders.,
"Danica, why are you here? I thought our appointment was-
", Alicia stopped in her tracks. Just as she was about to turn around, a beautiful girl stood before her.
"Oh, Miss, I am so sorry! I was going to meet my friend and I've mistaken you for the wrong person!
" The girl raised her hand as an indication of apology, then turned around and walked away., Alicia came back to her senses and her mood immediately plunged again. Danica?, Was it a coincidence? Was she having hallucinations? How much did she look like Danica? What was going on recently? This was so annoying!, She couldn't even enjoy eating ice cream! Alicia then threw the ice cream away., Did their backs look so familiar?, Alicia had even tied her hair up into a bun and was wearing a suit that day. How could she possibly look like Danica? Were those people blind? Alicia felt a surge of anger in her heart, she was extremely frustrated., She immediately grew irritated again and she kept muttering to herself,
"Look carefully before you greet someone! How annoying!
", She looked at the traffic lights ahead and stood still. Just as she took a deep breath to calm herself down, another beautiful girl stood before her.,
"Danica? Are you... Danica? Did you have plastic surgery recently?
", Alicia gazed at the girl before her who was clad in branded clothes. The girl's outfit was a little unique. Alicia fell speechless again -what was the use of having eyes? How could they mistake someone else for their friend?, Did she mention plastic surgery? What the hell!, Alicia really wanted to scold her but her rationality allowed her to remain calm.,
"It's been a few years since we last met, don't you remember me? Wow, you are so much more beautiful than before!
", Just then, the woman before her stared at her and scratched her head in confusion.
"I'm Tina! Did I... get the wrong person? Will a lip injection make your lips look much prettier?
", Finally, she had realized that she got the wrong person.,
"Yeah,
" Alicia replied blandly.
"I'm not Danica!
",
"Oh, I am so sorry! Both of you look so alike! Your eyes are exactly the same! No wonder I felt that your figure looked better... I'm sorry!
", Tina muttered to herself as she apologized, then quickly walked away., Alicia frowned as she looked at the girl walking away. She felt so angry that she was about to lose her cool., What was going on here?, It seemed that she happened to meet Danica's friends often recently. She had even met two of them continuously!, Alicia touched her face unconsciously and thought, is it the eyes? Did their eyes look alike?, However, in Alicia's memories, her own eyes were larger and prettier! Her eyes were her pride - they were the benchmark of beauty with natural double eyelids! They looked so much better than those who did plastic surgery., Other than the good genes from her family, she had heard from her mother that when she was young, there was a period of time where they had even raised her as a Barbie doll. They had applied essences or her lashes. Therefore, her eyelashes grew to be thick and long, making her eyes extraordinarily beautiful., The skinnier the person was, the larger their eyes would appear. Danica's eyes would never be as large as Alicia's! Didn't Alicia look like the younger version of Danica? How could they have mistaken her for Danica?, Has someone even claimed that she had done plastic surgery and received lip injections?, Why would she ever do that? Natural lips were incomparable to those that had received injections!, Just as Alicia was growing extremely infuriated, the two girls that walked away signaled an 'OK' motion towards a red car. Following that, they received the notification that they had received a transfer of money..., Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
