That day, Alicia wore a loose white chiffon blouse, black cropped pants, and black suede pumps that revealed her slender ankles. When she put on the anklet with the shiny and silvery pendants, it made her ankle look alluring. She stretched her instep a little as she admired her feet, feeling proud of herself., Soon after, she started the car and went home to get something to eat. Unexpectedly, she fell asleep on the sofa and by the time she woke up; it was already nighttime. She quickly left the house when her colleagues started to call her to rush her., When Alicia arrived at the Oasis Clubhouse, it was already eight-fifty. Seeing the time, she suddenly remembered that she had to do something. Just as she was taking out her phone, the words 'Uncle' appeared on the bright screen of her phone as if he could read her mind.,

"Hubby...

", As Frederick heard the soft voice coming from the other end of the phone, he gently swirled his glass of wine.

"Well, where are you now?

",

"Today is my colleague's birthday, and the others planned a celebration for her. I just arrived at the Oasis Clubhouse to join them for a karaoke session. Hubby, can I take a break today and go back a little later?

",

"Alright!

", After getting his permission, Alicia continued,

"Hubby, have you eaten? Did you go home?

", Fredericks cold gaze swept across the empty room and the corners of his lips drooped.

"No! I'm working overtime!

",

"Oh, that's good!

", Frederick frowned at the statement.

"That's good?

", He waited for her for longer than an hour and she didn't want to see him? He originally came back early because he wanted to accompany her, but he didn't expect her to be busy! Didn't she say that she was afraid of the dark? What was she doing out and about?, At this moment, Frederick was extremely upset!, Alicia could tell that he was angry and laughed out a little.,

"What I meant was, luckily you didn't go home! If you did, you would be so lonely since I'm not there to annoy you! Hubby, I really have to go now, my colleagues are still waiting for me! I'm already very late to the party!

",

"Okay then, in which room?

", Frederick asked casually and Alicia pretended to reply arrogantly,

"Hmph, it's number 306! Hubby, do you not trust me and want to check on me?

",

"It depends! My babe is too pretty and frisky, I probably do have to keep an eye on you!

" She would probably get into trouble in no time.,

"Don't drink too much, be careful!

",

"I got it! I'll just sing a few songs and find an excuse to leave earlier! Don't worry about me! Goodbye Hubby! Remember to take care of yourself, don't wear yourself out!

", Carrying the present in one hand, Alicia gave the phone a kiss, and then hung up and trotted away without waiting for Frederick's reply., On the other end, Frederick held the phone in dismay for a long time., Looking around the empty house again, he felt weird. He put down his wine glass and gave Chet a call.,

"Let's go for a drink!

", On the other end, Chet, who just came out of the shower, replied dreadfully,

"Now? Frederick, I just entered the house! Is it something important?

" Frederick gave it a thought and said,

"Never mind! I'll find someone else!

",

"What?

", Before Chet could come back to his senses, Frederick had already hung up. Shaking his dripping wet hair, Chet stared at his phone confused., What was going on? Was the phone broken? Was he dreaming?, Frederick, on the other hand, played with his phone for a while and gave Carson a call., Carson, who just left the hospital, also looked dumbfounded.

"The Oasis Clubhouse? I haven't heard of it! Why would you want to go to this bar? Don't you usually go to East Bannpool?

", Wasn't the East Bannpool Frederick's go-to place? Even if he wanted to change to a different place, he should've chosen somewhere well-known! How was he going to find an unknown bar in the middle of the night?,

"Do you want to go or not?

" Frederick thought, why would he go to East Bannpool when his wife wasn't there?, Carson rolled his eyes and replied,

"Of course I'll go! Who would dare to reject you? Anyway,, I could use some relaxation after a tiring day!

", After hanging up the phone, Carson turned on the navigation app in his phone while Frederick grabbed the blazer on the chair and picked up the car keys., In a private room in the Oasis Clubhouse, a group of people chatted happily and had a great time., The colleagues brought in the cake they ordered while Daisy's boyfriend also gave her a rose bouquet and a sweet kiss. The couple even sang a love song together, making the atmosphere even more fun and romantic., Afterward, they lit the candles on the cake and everyone sang a birthday song to Daisy together.,

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you... Happy birthday to Daisy!

", With a round of applause, Daisy blew out the candles.

"Thank you, everyone. I've been very happy today! Let's all have some cake!

", Then, they divided the cake so that everyone got a piece. Alicia sat next to Miriam and they happily chatted away as they ate the cake., Not long after, Daisy and her boyfriend were persuaded to sing some songs together again while others chose the songs, and cheered and clapped forthem., Miriam gave Alicia a poke and lowered her voice.,

"Alicia, what do you think of Daisy's boyfriend? It seems that his family background is well, they have a few houses and live on rent collection. He also has a small boutique!

", Alicia's eyes fell upon the slender man in a black T- shirt singing in the middle of the room. As he sang, his sight was fixed on Daisy but he didn't seem to dare to get close to her. Alicia could tell that he was truly in love with Daisy but she felt that something was off., Nodding her head, all she could say was,

"Not bad, he treats Daisy very well, but he seems a little shy!

", He didn't seem very confident! After all, it was the first time Alicia met him, hence she couldn't tell what kind of person he was., Leaning on Alicia's shoulder, Miriam said,

"He is pretty good-looking! He seems very innocent as well. But, why do I feel like... He seems a little girly!

", Miriam said the last few words in a voice so soft that only the two of them could hear., Alicia looked back at the guy and realized that they were thinking the same thing!, People in the business field were usually shrewd and fierce like Frederick! This man was indeed less vigorous.,

"Maybe he is someone who is more introverted and gentle!

", The both of them smiled and the conversation about him stopped there., Seeing that it was already nine-forty and they had already cut the cake, Alicia felt that the celebration was about to be over soon. She stood up and said, She stood up and said,

"I'll be going to the bathroom!

", As she walked out of the private room, the air became clear and there were no longer buzzing sounds by her ear. Alicia walked to the bathroom in a good mood., That floor only had one bathroom, and it was on the other side of the floor, therefore it was a long journey there. As she turned into the aisle, Alicia stopped in place as she saw Jeremy approaching her..., Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
