Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)
Chapter 69

"CEO Frederick, it's still early! I'm just asking you to come in and play for a while. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?" "Maybe next time. I'm really quite tired now!" Frederick, who had just returned from a business trip, only wanted to go home.

His friends were still trying to persuade him and blocked the door. Standing aside, Chet smiled as he watched.

"Frederick, it's hard to refuse their kindness. Just stay for ten more minutes! You guys, why are you in such a hurry to meet up? We can do it when we are free. Frederick just came back from a meeting!" "We got it! You are really good at talking! Frederick, we have something to tell you. Just give us ten minutes!"

Several young men pushed Frederick to the rest area in the corner.

After entering backstage, Alicia simply filled a document and then went to pick outfits with Victoria.

She realized that the clothes provided by the organizer were not only performance clothes but also some branded clothing. In addition to charity, they also wanted to sell their new clothes. Therefore, this was a way to show off the clothes. The design of the clothes was not casual and even a little unique which could attract people's attention.

Therefore, these clothes were more suitable for magazines, stage shows, parties, nightclub activities, and red carpet events. They were targeting celebrities and rich young ladies who were not lacking in money.

The clothes were ready-made and the size was limited. Not every piece of clothing could be worn. Hence, many people had limitations in making their choice.

With Victoria's company, Alicia felt reassured. She was happily choosing her clothes.

"Hey, this is beautiful!" After picking a black dress, Victoria showed it to Alicia. She raised her hand, and Alicia pushed it away in disgust.

Looking at Victoria's clothes, she was beautiful and fashionable, just like the past. Alicia remembered the time where they were the famous, rich, and young ladies of the upper class. They shared the same hobbies because of their interests so that they often hang out together. But at present, everything has changed. She was unsure if they could continue their friendship!

"Hmph, you have such a good figure. What are you afraid of? But, it's true that this outfit is a little too revealing!"

While muttering to herself, Victoria hung the dress back.

"Alicia, my design will come out in the next season. Can you model for me? In the past, your design was counted as one of the best. It's a pity that you don't work in this field now! If you want to do it, you can come to my design studio! I can empty half of the office for you and you can think of your own brand! If you are famous in the future, you can even leave and have your own studio!"

Alicia's hand paused as she was going through the outfits. She felt a little hurt and dejected.

"I have put that down for a long time and I have forgotten a lot about it! I also like my current job! I am very happy to wear the clothes that you've designed! Don't design those revealing clothes for me. I am very picky!" Alicia said.

Fashion design was their major course and also her dream, but the reality was so cruel.

Her whole life changed due to the accident three years ago. She had to give up on fashion, something that she loved since she was a child. She couldn't replace a suitable job with that major and she had to make a living!

"Alicia, I can't talk to you for now. My mother is urging me to go home, and she's angry! I will contact you again tomorrow. Let's hang out and have a chat when we both have time! I miss the days we had together in college. These years, I have been running around and I seldom meet up with friends! If there is anything I can help with, don't hesitate to call me," Victoria said.

When she couldn't even fill her stomach, her hobby was just sumptuous! But, she no longer thought about it. At least, she could still dance.

"I got it, I got it! Hey, how about this one?" Victoria asked.

A bright red lacy dress came into view, and Victoria screamed. Several women came over wanting to take it, but they could only leave when they looked at the size.

"If you wear this and perform belly dance, you must be very stunning! I remember that you knew the dance moves, right? When the time comes, you will stun all the audience! If no one bids, I will bid you myself!" Victoria said.

Patting her chest, Victoria had a heroic look on her face.

"Yes, but it looks like it's very small!" Alicia said.

"If you can't wear it, then they can throw it away! Go and have a try. I'll submit the music request for you!"

As soon as they got the number, Victoria's cell phone rang again. "Why can't we go tomorrow? I'm with my friend! Why don't I look for you later?"

"All right, all right, I'll go back as soon as possible!" Victoria said.

Victoria was still answering some phone calls as Alicia was about to go on the stage. It seemed that she was very busy, and Alicia also got a little worried. She had changed her clothes and it would be a pity to give up now.

"Victoria, why don't you leave first? It's not a big deal anyway. I'll stay for a while!" Alicia said as soon as Victoria put down her phone.

"How can I do that? How can I leave you alone here? What if something happens? There's no one to take care of you! We have to leave together! Why don't we leave now? My cousin said that he has something urgent to do and insisted on meeting me! I guess he must have broken up with a girl again! It's mainly because he was greatly cheated the last time. I'm afraid that something bad will happen to him..."

Hearing her words, Alicia was happier than winning the prize. She pushed Victoria to the door.

"All right, just go! This is not a nightclub. Who dares to drag me away? Don't worry! I will be on the stage soon. I'll dance for a while and I will go home later! It will be okay!" Alicia said.

Victoria was still a little worried, but her cell phone rang again at this moment. She could only nod.

"Then, when you are done, don't forget to send me a message! I really have to go first!" Victoria said.

As she pressed the answer button, she reminded Alicia one more time before she trotted away while waving her hand. For the first time, Alicia really felt the difference between friends. If it were Lindsay, she would have left much earlier!

Soon, it was Alicia's turn. As Victoria said, an exotic belly dance instantly excited the audience. The music was not over yet and people had already started bidding. "50,000 dollars!" A man raised the price and the audience burst into a round of warm applause.

Alicia was shocked as she took a bow. After all, 30,000 dollars was the highest bid in the previous dances.

"80,000 dollars!"

"90,000 dollars!"

The amount rose quickly in the blink of an eye. Alicia was flattered and looked around. Her movement obviously stopped.

Brian Haskell? Why was he here?

Initially, he came here as a special guest, but his appearance undoubtedly caused a sensation again. Before she could recover from her shock, another familiar voice came. "100,000 dollars!"

She turned her head and saw that it was Jeremy.

Alicia was unhappy to see him.

Therefore, she got annoyed when the two of them bid from the floor. Sometimes, people's thoughts were so strange. The more expensive an item was, the more people felt that it was a treasure. More and more people wanted to join in the bid.

When Alicia came to her senses again, it was already close to 200,000 dollars.

She lowered her head, with only one thought in her mind, "When can I go down?" The feeling of waiting for the price was horrible!

Unwillingly, Jeremy shouted again, "210,000 dollars!".

Taking a deep breath, Alicia scolded in her heart, "You are insane!"

At this time, another low and domineering familiar voice rose in the air. "300,000 dollars!"
