That day, Alicia didn't kick up a fuss and went to take a nap in Frederick's lounge. Before she laid down, she quickly changed the sheets. Frederick even threw them into the bin., From now on, he would never receive guests in his office!, Thinking of the trash can, he felt sick!, On this day, Alicia was both mentally and physically exhausted. Since she had just finished her meal, in just a short while, she had fallen asleep. Frederick covered Alicia with the quilt and quietly left the room. Frederick took a short nap on the massage chair. Then, he tidied himself up, went to the washroom, then turned to the secretary's office.,

"Mr. Clements...

",

"If there's anything in the afternoon, come in directly. Do not call me using the phone line.

", He was about to ask her to deal with the painting when he noticed the painting that Chet had chosen for him. It was an oil painting with several flowers and plants. There were three stalks of white plants, two yellow flowers that were about to bloom, and a shorter red flower that was fully bloomed in the vase. The layout was orderly and balanced., Why did this painting look so familiar? It was as if he had seen it somewhere before., The name

"Three Two One

" immediately appeared in Frederick's mind. The painting was showing off the single fully bloomed flower, instead of the flowers around., He should have seen it before. The painting's name was

"Three Two One

", which was unique and simple. This was why he could remember it clearly., This is probably the work of a famous painter!, Could Danica be so foolish as to copy from another artist's artwork and sell it at her own art exhibition? This not only an infringement of copyright, it was morally wrong and most importantly, a taboo! Frederick frowned. At this moment, no words could accurately describe his mood at this time., He paused and said,

"Just deal with the painting! You can just throw it away or destroy it. I don't want to see it anymore! In the future, no one is allowed to enter my office. Alicia is the only exception!

" This was the first time he had given such order to her. Doris instantly understood the meaning behind this.,

"Yes!

", As he returned to his office, Frederick still wasn't able to calm his thoughts., Could a person's heart change as drastically as their appearance? Why did the Danica he'd seen on this day become so strange and horrifying? Had he been caught up in her web before, or had she just changed so quickly that he couldn't keep up?, It was hard to imagine that all these unbearable things were the work of a woman!, He played with his cell phone for a long time. If it were before, he would definitely give her a reminder. However, this time, he just placed his phone down., Alicia had a good nap. When she opened her eyes, it was dark inside the room. Only then did she notice that the curtains were closed., It was already half past three! She'd actually slept for two hours!, A nap after a good meal was the best!, Alicia did a light stretch when she noticed a black card on the side of the bed. Although she never thought of using it, at this moment, she felt a rush of emotions. She kept the card and opened the door gently. When she saw that there was no movement outside, she grabbed her high-heels and tiptoed out of the room., Why was it so quiet? Had Frederick gone for a meeting?, She poked her head out and noticed a figure afar. She could hear the rustling sound of the papers flipping and instantly held her breath., It turned out that the way he was at work was so beautiful and charming!, She did not move for a long time. Her eyes were fixed on him until a loud sound broke the silence. Frederick turned his head and saw her in such a silly state. She was barefoot, carrying a shoe in hand and the other one was on the ground..., She came to her senses and blushed instantly. She quickly bent down to put them on., Although she looked like a mess, the way she looked when she just woke up was beautiful., Frederick chuckled and stretched out his hand to her,

"Come here!

", Alicia walked over and naturally sat on his lap. Her gaze still had traces of admiration.,

"Did you nap well?

",

"Yes!

", Nodding, Alicia squirmed in his arms. Suddenly, she felt particularly attached to his warm chest,

"Am I disturbing your work?

",

"No! I'm not busy today! Did you see the card? The password is your birthday!

",

"Mmhm! Hubby, aren't you afraid that I'll be spoilt?

", Alicia smiled and glanced at the ring on her hand. She was delighted. When she looked at the butterfly wings design, she couldn't help but wonder., He said that he wouldn't give a ring, out easily! Back then, when Jeremy gave her a pair of earrings to at the start of their relationship, was he hinting that he didn't take the relationship seriously? That she was the one who was serious? As for her and Frederick, though they'd gotten married, he'd never prepared a prop like this. At this moment, Alicia could feel the change in their relationship. Thinking of why he didn't like this ring, she felt that it was a little flawed too. However, she couldn't bear to take it off. , Seeing her looking at her hand, Frederick grabbed it and kissed the back of her hand. He said,

"You'll have to control yourself. If you waste money on unnecessary things, I'll have to chop your hands!

" As a person who loved money as much as her life, Frederick felt that she wouldn't spend money aimlessly. The most she would do was probably to buy gold accessories to add to her collection! Wasn't she afraid that he would take back the card before the card was activated? If it was any other woman, shouldn't she try her best to please him at this time?, Frederick suddenly recalled what happened with Danica on this day and the cake that had not been eaten yet. He felt that Alicia was very different., He stroked her little face and asked,

"If I'd really had something going on with Danica... why'd you slap me, but not her?

", Nowadays, it was common to see the wife fighting with the mistress when she was exposed. Her temper was so feisty, why did she choose to walk away rather than fighting for it? Was he not good enough for her to fight for?, A passionate kiss landed on Frederick's lips,

"You're my husband! Who does she think she is? It has nothing to do with me!

", Alicia hooked his neck and kissed him on the lips again., 'Tm not a shrew! I want you, not her! If my man doesn't want me, what's the point of killing her? There can always be another one. I don't want to have to deal with them!

", She wanted to conquer him, so she, would naturally dump all of her emotions on him! As long as she was in his heart and he could control himself, no matter whoever wanted to seduce him, it would be useless. Otherwise, everything would be in, vain! , Alicia's mind was clear. She was more logical than emotional. Both of them were the same. At the same time, Frederick's love for her grew. Obviously, Danica did not understand., Frederick tightened his arms and lowered his head to kiss her., Seated at his desk, the kiss became more and more passionate.,

"Frederick, this is the... I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!

", Chet walked in with some documents in hand. When he saw this, he quickly left and slammed the door., Alicia quickly pushed Frederick away and almost fell down to the ground. She was so flustered that her face turned red., In order not to disturb her sleep, he didn't close the door. He realized his actions were inappropriate.,

"It's okay, it's just Chet. Maybe you should stay in the lounge!

",

"Okay!

", Alicia wasn't sure if Chet had seen them clearly. She was so embarrassed that she quickly ran into the room., Frederick started tidying himself up. When he heard the clicking of the door closing behind Alicia, he said,

"Come in!

", At that time, Chet was still pacing around anxiously outside the door. When he entered again, he didn't even dare to raise his head.,

"Frederick, we just received news, from Bayton City regarding the piece, of land that we wanted and have already placed a deposit. Someone offered a higher price and the owner is willing to pay the penalty than to sell us the land. I tried talking to him but he was adamant. It seemed that the new buyer promised him an extra 30 million! The reason why we chose that piece of land was because of the empty factories, around and the good traffic conditions around. The location was, secluded and cheap. Now, we will have to pay at least 40 million and even that's not guaranteed. How can the land owner do this? He had already accepted our 10 million deposit but is going to break off the agreement just like that. It's obvious he's trying to see us buyers fight each other while he reaps the benefits. We will lose money if this goes on. However, it's not easy to find another suitable land now!

", , Chet was angry as he explained to Frederick. However, Frederick didn't even frown. He asked,

"Do you know who the person is?

",

"He's a pig farmer. He's a rather rude person. He even said he would buy over our company. His name is Frank Cruise. I've done my research and found out that his family is also in the mining business worth several hundred million dollars!

",

"Investigate further. It's not decided yet. Book the flights and let's go there in person! We will go there and see what we can do!

", Before turning around, Chet glanced inside for two seconds from the corner of his eye, but he didn't dare to stop walking., As soon as the door was closed, the phone on the table also vibrated,

"Okay, I know, let's see! I'm busy these days. I have to go on a business trip... I'll try my best! I'll be back. Yes, with Alicia...

", As soon as Alicia walked out of the room, she heard him speaking and thought to herself,

"Go back? Where to?

", When she saw the stiff expression on his face, she instantly understood. As soon as Frederick put down the phone, a pair of warm and soft arms wrapped around his neck. In an, instant, his heart warmed up. He lowered his head and kissed her arms.,

"Next Wednesday, it's that woman's birthday!, Dad wants us to go home!
