Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

"Victoria?"

"Alicia, there is a huge event for fashion designers this evening and I have two invitation cards. Let's go and have a look! I heard that there will be some important people and big stars there to support the show! Everything there will be trendy and up to date. It's good as we can have an idea of the trend for next year!"

"Vicki, I think I've already become estranged from this industry. It's not suitable for me at all!"

Alicia was a little reluctant. In the past few years, it would even be a luxury for her to have days like these. Moreover, with her current situation, she would only make a fool of herself if she went to such places.

"Why not? Although you are not a designer now, you shouldn't waste your knowledge either! Even if you don't design clothes anymore, don't tell me that you don't buy or wear them anymore? If you don't want to socialize with any of them, you can just eat, drink and have fun! I will be by your side! Besides, if we don't talk to them in this kind of high-end event, I'm afraid no one will talk to people like us. It's good to widen your horizon! I've used many of my connections to get these two invitations. Ally, could you accompany me? Are you free tonight? I will let you go back home by 10 o'clock, alright?"

Victoria muttered as Alicia's gaze was fixed on the screen. She felt as if a sharp knife had stabbed her heart all of a sudden. She initially planned to cook for him and have a good time with him. She then composed herself and replied in an instant.

"Okay, let's go have fun!"

Alicia put the phone away after agreeing on the time and place to meet.

That's right! Why did she have to be home early just because he was back?

Her morning was ruined, and everything appeared dull to her all of a sudden. Alicia closed the webpage on her screen as she wanted to head out to get some fresh air.

At this time, in the office ofSoaver International, Frederick had just finished dealing with all the documents when the phone on the table rang.

"Mr. Frederick, Miss Hannah is here to see you. She claims that she's your friend and that she wants to meet you!"

"Alright, bring her in in five minutes!"

Frederick ended the call and cleaned up his desk. He picked up the briefcase to take a few documents out, then shoved them into the drawer.

As he was tidying up the mess, a red brocade box fell out without him noticing. At this time, there was a knock on the door. Thus, Frederick got up and pushed the scattered objects aside.

"Come on in..."

"Frederick, I didn't disturb you, did I?" Walking slowly into the room, Hannah Sharman gave him a warm hug.

"Not at all!"

Frederick looked formal with his emotionless attitude. He buttoned up his suit then pressed on the phone to speak to his assistant.

"Bring me two cups of coffee!”

"Why are you here?"

Just as he was about to signal her to take a seat, he saw Hannah taking out an invitation card from her purse. "It's because of this!"

"Frederick, tonight's fashion design party is actually a fashion social meet- up. Many famous and successful people are invited too. I'm one of the main guests! Can you be there and show me some support?"

This event, to put it bluntly, was for her to find someone that could sponsor her in the future!

Seeing the invitation, Frederick understood. "Okay, no problem!"

He had known Hannah for a long time. He admired this hot yet hardworking lady and had always treated her as his sister! He didn't expect to meet her on the plane during his business trip. They happened to be in the same city, thus they took the chance to hang out with each other.

At this time, the secretary brought in two cups of coffee and Frederick went to pick them up.

"By the way, Frederick, what do you mean by giving me a surprise?"

Putting the coffee aside, Frederick spoke, "Didn't you say your birthday is around the corner?"

Recalling the past, whenever she came back, she would always say that she wanted a snowy-white horse. However, as she was always out and about and she didn't know how to choose a horse properly, she would always feel like something was missing every time she went on a horse-ride.

Coincidentally, the owner of a stable called Frederick, wanting him to try riding the new batch of horses. He asked the owner and found out that there was a pure white horse in the new batch. Therefore, he bought it as her birthday present!

They had known each other for so many years, but it seemed like they didn't have much contact with each other, let alone celebrating their birthdays together.

Just as he was thinking about how to tell Hannah about the horse, as soon as he turned around, he noticed that she had already grabbed a red brocade box excitedly.

"Is this the surprise you were going to give me?"

She had already opened the box while shrieking, "Wow, it's so beautiful! I like it so much!"

Before Frederick came to his senses, she had already taken the earrings out and even wore them!

He was flustered for a moment before Frederick realized that it was a gift he bought for Alicia. He had totally forgotten about it as he came back in a hurry and was occupied with his grandmother's illness.

However, the pair of pear-shaped diamond earrings were already dangling on Hannah's ears.

"Thank you, Frederick! I love this birthday present a lot! If only I could celebrate my birthday in Casterwich City every year! This year is definitely my happiest!"

Hannah was touching the sparkling earrings as she spoke excitedly.

He forced a smile, but he didn't say anything else other than, "Let's drink the coffee!" Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Since she had worn the earrings, he thought that he shouldn't give them to Alicia as it had already been used. Since Hannah liked them, he would just give them to her then.

As it was going to be a high- end event, Alicia purposely went home to get changed after work. She didn't want to be too ostentatious, thus she chose a black bodycon dress with a tube top. She paired it with a thin platinum belt that outlined her slender waist perfectly. It was simple, magnanimous but not out of the place.

She tied half of her hair to one side and wore a pair of mismatched butterfly earrings. Alicia was satisfied with her look. Then, she took a black clutch that was decorated with black diamonds and stepped on a pair of elegant black high heels. With that, she finally headed out.

On this day, Victoria chose a white halter neck dress and a pair of exaggerated black earrings. Standing together, they both had their own merits, which made them look like a stunning pair of sisters. As soon as they walked in, they caused a sensation that brought on a moment of continuous flashlights.

Alicia did not try to avoid it as she felt confident with that thick makeup she was wearing. Moreover, there were celebrities everywhere, thus she was not worried about being in the headlines.

The event was extremely grand. It was held in a five-star banquet hall.

The whole night, she met a lot of designers who she admired and examined their works too. Alicia was over the moon. She felt a little tired halfway through the party. When she was about to leave, the host suddenly announced something on the stage which caught her attention.

"Thank you, everyone, for coming to today's fashion event. The following activity is prepared for our beloved friends who enjoy designing. No matter if you are a designer or not, you can participate as long as you are creative."
