In this situation, if she tried to protect Joel and the others, it would probably backfire. Therefore, Alicia had to deliberately act and showed that she had taken the initiative to provoke Frederick. Raising her chin, she said.,

"It's said that birds of the same feather flock together. The friends of elites will naturally be elites too. If I get to know a few more of them, I won't have to worry if the company fires me in the future then.

" What Alicia meant was she was looking for a backup. And if one day Frederick decided to dump her, she would still have someone who could take her in., Upon hearing what Alicia had said, Frederick stared at her and gritted his teeth as he asked,

"Elites? Getting fired?

", As he pinched her chin, Alicia could see through his deep eyes that a huge thunderstorm was coming for her very soon.,

"So, this is what you are busy with all these time? Busy looking for my replacement?

" asked Frederick., She must be blind! One of the world's most attractive and wealthiest men in the world was in front of her. How could she say that Chet was handsome? Why would something so insignificant as a million dollars annual pay impress her?, F*cking hell!, Even so, they were all just his underlings anyway. Each and every of them were under his control!, At this time, Frederick was so furious that his knuckles were crackling. At that instant, Alicia knew that she had angered him, so he shook her head as she gently bit her lower lip to shut herself up. Anger was eating Frederick up, and he had nowhere to vent it. He really wanted to give her a good beating, but he could bear to lay his fingers on her at all. He held her tightly in his arms, and once again kissed her on the lips. As the overbearing kiss went on, Frederick lifted the hem of her skirt and began unbuttoning her shirt. His moves were hasty and rough, as if he was in a rush to tell the entire world that she was his woman., Frederick bit her lips and asked in exasperation,

"You said Chet is handsome, didn't you? And the senior executives are talented, huh? And you're very impressed by those hefty salaries?

", Judging from his tone, Alicia could tell that he was extremely furious, and he was slowly losing control over his actions. Alicia could feel a stabbing as he held her, and a hint of grievance flashed across her eyes. Even so, Alicia did not dare to utter a sound. Instead, she intimately clutched her arms around his neck and huddled up in his arms., After Frederick had vented his anger, she bit her lip as she pulled his neck towards her and whispered in his ears,,

"Hubby, you're the best! The most handsome and talented guy I've ever met in my life! I've never compared you to them before. Now that I have, they're definitely not on the same level as you at all. They're nothing compared to you!

", Alicia's voice was soft and slightly quavering, which made Frederick's body quiver., Frederick pinched her slightly blushed cheek and took a deep breath before tidying her messy clothes. However, he was still pursing lips. Alicia could tell that he was still dissatisfied., Seeing that he cooled down, Alicia batted her lashes, straightened her arms, and wrapped them around his neck,

"Hubby, are you jealous?

", As soon as she spoke, Frederick immediately gave her a cold stare., Alicia giggled,,

"Well, your company is indeed a gathering of the elites, and there are fewer women here than men. Of course, they would take any chances they can get, right? Even women like me are popular among the guys. Moreover, even if I don't approach them first, there would always be one or two who would come after me. I'm sure that you wouldn't want to have to worry about other guys approaching me, right?

" The moment Alicia looked away, Frederick immediately narrowed his eyes. He immediately understood what she was trying to do., No surprise there!, Sure enough, Frederick heard Alicia saying,

"Why don't you just fire me?

", After saying that, Alicia tugged Frederick's shirt and showed him her irresistible puppy eyes.,

"Hubby? If you fire me, you won't have to worry about others guys approaching me. Then, I won't have anyone to help me out, so I will have no choice but to be obedient. On top of that, you won't have to worry about me attracting men and what happened just now will never happen ever again. Isn't that perfect?

", Glancing at her, Frederick felt like he was hit by a wave of cold water. He raised his hand and poked her forehead.,

"Is that all you got in that brain of yours? Do you really think that I'll fall for your little trick? In your dreams! No matter what, you're still going to stay employed here!

", As soon as Frederick finished his words, Alicia withdrew her hand and pouted her tiny red lips. She pushed him away and stood up.,

"Yes, Mr. Clements! I will get back to work right away!

", Alicia turned around angrily, but Frederick caught her wrist.

"Do you want to leave that badly?

", Alicia pursed her lips and kept quiet. However, anyone could tell that she was unhappy. Not only did she want to leave, but she was also willing to die just to get away from this place!, With his hand still holding onto her wrist, Frederick stood up and hugged her. As he caressed her silky hair, he said in a serious tone,,

"I'll let you get accustomed to the company first and allow you to go around the departments as you wish! You can choose any position you like in any department, and if you like, I can even appoint you as my secretary! Anything you want, just let me know and I'll make it happen. If you still want to do Russian translations, I will set up a new department for you as soon as possible! However, before all this, I must warn you, no more tricks and games with me. Even if you hook up with all the men in the company, I will never let you go! Ally, all I want is for you to stay with me and be by my side. Both you and Soaver are equally important to me, and a part of the company is also yours, do you understand?

", They were husband and wife, and Frederick was more than happy to share his accomplishments and enjoy his empire with her. Moreover, with her working at Soaver International, it made him feel at ease. Deep down, like any other woman, Alicia worshipped and looked up at him. It was her dream to work by his side, but at this moment, Alicia did not have such ambition. She simply wanted to be the woman behind him., She did not want to get too involved in his career. Because to her, once she got involved, greed and conflict might arise because of their own interests. She was afraid that she would eventually be blinded by all those and ended up losing everything. What she wanted was her own career and innocent love between the,., She did not want Frederick to be with her the entire time. Although that was what she actually desired, she knew that she knew that absence makes the heart grow fonder. She hoped the both of them would have their personal space and a healthy dose of mystery in their relationship so that he would always and only have his eyes on her., However, it was obvious that they were not seeing eye to eye in this matter. Frederick was used to having his way and calling the shots, and sometimes there was just no way to convince him., Hence, Alicia could only give in for the time being. She did not try to leave, nor did she try to make a point with him. She thought it was not something that she needed to solve at this instant, and she would just see what fate had in store for her., Moreover, if everything went well, she might not leave Soaver at all!, Seeing that Alicia had finally calmed down, Frederick kissed her forehead and asked,

"We'll have lunch here today. What do you feel like eating? I'll ask them to get it for you!

", With her arms around his waist, Alicia said in a gentle voice,

"I'd like some fish and chips and buffalo wings, and tiramisu as dessert!

" Alicia knew that Frederick had a personal bathroom in his office, so she did not have to worry about having bad breath after the meal. She could just brush her teeth there., Upon hearing Alicia's request, Frederick felt sorry for her., Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
