"Stay-away-from-Reiner!” Alicia’s sighing as Theodore Coldrick—her beloved fiance—meticulously spells the word in order for her to understand."Theo, how am I supposed to avoid him?" Alicia had heard requests like that many times. Stay away from this and stay away from that. Theo kept telling her to stay away from every man. Should she also stay away from her father and younger brother?"Listen to me! Reiner is only one of our company's clients. We've only met a few times for business matters and I don't even have his cell phone number. Tell me, which part makes you worry about him?""It's because he's normal. I see his gleaming eyes as he stares at you. He’s definitely attracted to you and I hate that.”"Oh, He likes me! Of course, he likes me, otherwise we will not reach an agreement in the first place."Theodore frowned more deeply. "So, is that how you do the business?" "What do you mean?" Alicia thought that there was nothing wrong with what she said. But it sounded like a
"Unless Theo likes another woman and breaks the engagement by himself?!" Jessica looked surprised at her boss's thought. Imagining how cold and temperamental Theodore is when Alicia is not around. He’s like an untamed tiger which does not let anyone get close. "Is that possible? Mr. Coldrick loves you so much. There's no way he would like another woman." "Who knows? Theo could suddenly like a woman beside me, then he would leave me voluntarily." Why hadn't Alicia thought of it for a long time? This idea was better than her breaking up with Theo outright. Alicia only needed a third party to make this happen. "I don't think Mr. Corldrick would be that easy to fall for another woman. He is a loyal and affectionate man, he can't possibly betray you, miss." Jessie had her own thoughts, even though Alicia had been constantly complaining about Theodore's attitude to her lately. That woman once adored Theodore. "He probably won't betray me. But Jessie, you can help me make him betray
"Hmph!"Alicia and Theo's bickering was inevitable when they met this morning. An argument that’s always filled with harsh insults and ends in hot passion full of anger. Theodore urged Alicia to the sofa beneath her. Theo couldn't help but flirt with Alicia with his caresses. Sometimes Alicia was quite rude with her mouth and the only way to stop it is to kiss her hard."Theo, let me go!""Not until you forgive me." Theodore threw Alicia back on the sofa and kissed him fiercely.Alicia insisted on not opening her mouth and kept trying to push Theo away from her. If only Theodore wasn't her fiancé, then Alicia would report this as an act of sexual harassment.Feeling that Alicia didn't react to him, Theo launched another attack. His kiss moved to Alicia's earlobe. Theo knew where he had to attack to melt her down. His hands were not carelessly fondling Alicia's body. Alicia's left chest was the best part to tease."Ahh, stop this Theo ..."Theo's kiss was burning and fierce, but his
"Oh, Colrdrick boy. What a coincidence you're here. Are you going to see Alicia?"No!! Jessica couldn't allow Theodore to provoke Reiner and cause chaos here.Jessie must immediately get Reiner away from Theodore. She walks to Reiner's side, grabs his arm and hopes he will voluntarily withdraw himself. "Sir Reiner, I believe Mr. Weisberg has been waiting for you. Let me escort you to meet him." "Ah, yes. I have to see Mr. Wiesbierg," that’s what he said but Reiner still couldn't take his gaze off Theodore. What's so great about that guy? It is said that Alicia was crazy about him and even fought her father to be with Theodore. He’s just a little brat without his father's money. Jessica had already taken a step to lead Reiner away, but Theodore's words stopped them."I'm here for Miss Becker.”Jessica lifted her head abruptly. Did she hear wrong just now? Theodore is here to look for her? What's wrong? More to her surprise, Theodore never called her by her name let alone address
"Alright, Alicia is indeed amazing, but she is not as young as she seems. Don't you feel something by dating an older woman?"Until today, no one dared to comment on Theodore, let alone mentioned his relationship with Alicia. You can offend this Coldrick Junior and he may ignore you afterward, but saying something bad about Alicia is like buying an express ticket to hell."Where are you from huh? Does this country have a law prohibiting our young master from dating a woman who was born earlier than him?" They even put another word rather than old afraid to offend Theodore even more. "Yeah, but wouldn't it taste a little strange." That youngster from overused his feelings when evaluating Theodore’s relationship."No buts! You don't need to use your feelings. Here only our Young Master needs to use all his feelings to love Miss Alicia.""What would it do to you if our young master dated an old woman huh?" the others also spread the spices."Hey, pay attention to what you say a littl
"Who is the little friend who came with Miss Alicia today?"The men from Theodore's camp turned to a lovely figure trailing behind Alicia.A young woman in simpler formal suits. If their eyesight was fine, then they would say that the girl was much more attractive to look at than Alicia. There’s an aesthetic beauty behind the simplicity of the girl's appearance.Aaron was captivated even with just one glance. On the other hand Harry seemed to be lost in thought when he saw that girl. Harry thought he had seen the girl several times. It appeared together with Alicia several times.On closer inspection, it seemed that he had seen the girl elsewhere. Unfortunately, Harry couldn't remember where it was and why he needed to insist on remembering a girl he didn't even know her name."Don't you want to tell me your name, little sweet?" Aaron asks once again. His eyes are very good at sorting out sparkling pearls, I mean girls.The girl didn't respond to Aaron at all. She seemed to pretend
"Eh, Miss Becker, it seems like a cat got your tongue. Can you talk?" Aaron was waiting for an answer from Jessica."Cheer Aaron, take it slowly. Our little girl may be surprised by your generous offer." Another young master advised Aaron."Ah, am I surprised you babe?" Aaron's gaze fixed to Jessica and he intended to come closer to her. Alas, Harry pushed him back to his chair. "That’s enough, Aaron. Don't bother her!" Harry didn't really want to interfere, but something in his head told him to intervene."Why are you also interested in Miss Becker? Wanna play a hero?""My taste is much better than yours. Miss Becker is Alicia's confidant, can't you give her a little respect?""Am I showing an unrespectful attitude toward her, Harry? I’m being nice here, you’re the one accusing me as some kind of jerk. Am I doing something wrong, sister Alicia?"Aaron was basically gutless. A moment ago he tried to tease Theodore by saying Alicia was an old woman. Then he came to harass Alicia's
Alicia understood Jessica felt guilt for her. It wasn't wrong for her to be born after Alicia, to be a young woman, and to have such an attractive face. But Alicia didn't want to accept that apology. This was like admitting the fact that she was indeed an old woman and Jessica was prettier than her."Save you apologize, Jessie. Benedick only said nonsense because he was drunk." Alicia's words sounded more gentel than when she had sold Jessica's identity to Aaron. She sounds like a warm sister now.Alicia was quite satisfied with Theodore's reaction. Her heart healed a little because Theodore was concerned for her. This was one of the reasons why Alicia fell for Theodore's charm. Under no circumstances will the man stand in front and protect her."We're going home now." Theodore embraced Alicia in his arms. There is no reason for them to stay longer at the club. Taking Alicia home meant taking Jessica away as well. Aaron soon found himself about to lose the jewelry he had just fou
"Lemme pay for it."Theodore held up his card, volunteering to pay. He held Alicia's hand as the woman took out her purse. Theodore always paid for the dresses that Alicia bought when they shopped together."Why? There’s no need. I’ll pay for this. I’m the one intended to give her a proper dress."This dress is not for her, why should Theodore pay for it? Alicia found it strange to let Theodore pay for Jessica. Well, except for food. A luxurious dress with Theodore's money was excessive to give.After convincing Theodore, Alicia went to the cashier to pay for Jessica's dress.Theodore glanced at the card in his hand and put it back in his wallet. Initially, he had no intention to draw the card to pay. However, after seeing the last dress Jessica wore, his hands were so excited and itchy. Theodore felt compelled to pay for the dress.Even though it was just a glance, he knew Jessica looked remarkable. That bare back of hers, how could he touch it?The store employee came out of the ch
"You want me to try on these dresses?"Jessica thought they were picking a dress for Alicia to wear tonight. She glanced at the dozen or so dresses that Alicia had chosen. She was a bit hesitant because all the dresses that Alicia chose were revealing and unfitting to her taste. The problem wasn't just the models of the dresses but that there was Theodore with them.Ever since Theodore bit her ear yesterday, Jessica didn't dare to look at him. She kept her distance and interactions with that man today. Theodore was watching her every move intently.Theodore realized he had been bewitched by this little Becker and there was no turning back. He enjoyed stealing glances to observe Jessica while wondering inside: When could I kiss her again?"Jessie, I want you to perform properly tonight. So, let's make yourself stand out a bit more than usual." Then Alicia whispered her devious plan under her breath, “remember, you have a duty to take Theodore away from me.”Jessica swallowed hard. Sh
Alistair could have stopped Theodore's mischievous activities, but how could he have ruined such a perfect occasion? That would be an opening to go against Theodore’s relationship with his beloved daughter.The brat that once swore all his love and promised to be faithful to Alicia. But in fact what… he's just a mischievous kid who hasn't grown up and can’t keep his words.Alistair deliberately didn't stop him. What he saw today was still not strong enough to make accusations and make it an excuse to break the engagement. They needed something even stronger that Theodore couldn't possibly deny.…Alistair stepped into Alicia's room after confirming that Theodore had come down. Jessica did not immediately salute, this poor woman still seemed to be shocked by what Theodore had done to her.It was only when Alistair made a sound then Jessica noticed his presence. "Is there anything I can help you with, Sir?""I just want to look for Alicia." Alistair's eyes scanned Jessica, seeing if The
Did he intend to do a public display of affection in the banquet?Alicia wouldn’t mind if it was in their environment. However, Whitaker's banquet would definitely be a different place. Most of the guests on the invitation were her seniors. Showing off the relationship in such an environment is not a good idea unless they are a married couple.Alicia didn't like the idea. She could imagine the result. If the seniors found out they were just lovers they would have advised her to immediately go to the registry office and sign the marriage certificate.Well! It will not happen. Alicia didn't plan on marrying Theodore. All she wanted was to part with him immediately."Come on... you will come to the party with me!" Now it no longer sounds like a question.Alicia knew Theodore was giving her an order. She could not ignore but accompany him to the party.Ah, shit! Jessica shouldn't have brought the invitation into her room and announced it clearly in front of Theodore. Remind her to charge
Theodore had informed Alicia that he would not be able to visit her office that afternoon either, but Theodore would still pick her up in the evening. So, Alicia thought she didn't need to try those cheap perfumes in a hurry. She would just spray it before Theodore came. What happened was that Alicia forgot to try it completely after she found out how ‘bad’ the perfume was and unfortunately Theodore actually did his inspection work on Alicia. "Didn't you try the perfume I sent you this afternoon?" asked him. When Theodore hugged Alicia this evening, he knew it immediately that Alicia had not used the perfume he gave. Theodore was somewhat familiar with Alicia's scent and he became disappointed that Alicia didn't smell as good as he expected. "Uh, I've tried them of course. Maybe it's because I don't use them enough or… maybe because they don't last long enough. You know, those perfumes are a bit different from what I'm used to." Alicia wanted to say it was a cheap perfume, but of c
"Ugh, Theo… stop!” it was too sudden so Alicia pushed Theodore away because she wasn't prepared for the hard kiss."Let's not talk about Jessica anymore. I don't like her. Let's not mention other women or even other men among us. Okay?" Theodore cupped Alicia's face with his big hands."Do you hate her that much?"It’s not because Theodore hates her, but because he could barely control himself when he heard Jessica's name being mentioned. His mind was wild and uncontrollable at the thought of that little woman.Theodore was reluctant to answer Alicia. He took a lighter step this time as he touched Alicia's lips again. At least each of these touches calmed his frantic nerves. He felt better as his
Theodore finished all his work as soon as possible and decided to go home early today. This afternoon he did not dare to visit Alicia because of the rest of the hangover last night. Now it's all completely gone.It hasn't even been a day yet but he really wanted to see Alicia. He missed her dearly. He wanted to quickly meet Alicia."It's sunny today. Your car has been washed… or would you take the SUV again today? " Sir Ezra reminded Theodore. He knew that his master was going on a date so the choice of a car must be very important.Theodore didn't take long to think. He prefers his BMW over that spacious Lamborghini SUV. "Yes, bring my usual car."After all, what was the point if he couldn't catch Jessica in
"Who is it, don't you want to pick it up?"Seeing an unfamiliar number appear on the screen, Jessica got nervous and was reluctant to pick it up. It was quite strange for Alicia, so Alicia preceded Jessica to pick up the phone.[Is this really Miss Becker?]Later they found out it was a male voice. Alicia gave her a look that said, ‘great you’re hiding a boyfriend all along?’Jessica was about to take over her phone but Alicia still had no intention of returning it to her. She was still curious about who the man was."Yeah, is the
"Why? Because… she smells so good and I want to kiss her," said Theodore again. “Cough! Ah, had I kissed her?” then he laugh stupidly. "What? Already… are you nuts!" Harry was mad about Theodore's confession. Now he’s gonna be someone who wants to strangle Theodore.“Haha... Why do you look so weird? Relax, I'm just kidding boy."“Theo, tell me, did you do it or not!” Harry tried not to yell but emphasized his words.“Of course not, I haven’t. Should I do it?” He makes Herry more frustrated. "Seriously, man. If you don't want to make trouble bigger you have to watch your mouth and your actions. I know Jessica is attractive but she was Alicia's secretary. Stay away from her. Just tell Alicia that you want her so desperately and fucked her already.”“NO! How could I do that against her will?” “Why? She loves you. You’re engaged already and I know you were planning to get married. It should be take after the new year. ?”“She's just a bit conservative, Harry. She had a norm to keep.
