Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

Frederick walked slowly to the kitchen and when he looked inside, he saw Alicia wearing an apron. cutting a potato into slices. He hid the flower he got for her and was about to step forward when he suddenly heard a shout of surprise.

"“Ouch-"

"What happened?"

Frederick quickly rushed over to Alicia and held her hand up to check. He then saw a cut with blood oozing from it. "How could you be so careless? Do you not care about your hand at all?”

As he rinsed her hand with water, he went to look for a band-aid and applied it for her.

Looking at the nervous but gentle man in front of her, Alicia's gaze fell on the dining table behind him. On top of the table, she saw a bouquet of beautifully packaged red roses that was shining beautifully under the light.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Frederick turned around and glanced in the direction of her gaze. He couldn't help but smile. "You are such a kid! Did you forget the pain as soon as. you saw the gift?"

He turned around, took the flowers, and handed them to her. "I wanted to give it to you last night but you weren't around. Hence, I decided to give it to you again today! Do you like it?"

Alicia held the flowers and nodded. Receiving the flowers from him seemed to have filled the gap in her heart. She didn't care about anything else and hugged him tightly.

Frederick immediately realized that something was wrong with her from her lack of speech. As he caressed the back of her head, he returned the hug.

"What's the matter? Did something happen?”

Alicia didn't want to affect her relationship with Frederick because of her past with Jeremy. She shook her head. "No! It's like a dream that you've suddenly become so romantic, I'm so touched-"

"Silly girl!"

Suddenly, they smelled something burning. Alicia immediately stepped out from his embrace and stuffed the bouquet of flowers into his hands as she rushed over quickly.

"Oh no, my pork ribs!"

As she added water, she tried to fix the dish. She turned around and told him, “Hubby, don't spoil my flowers! Get some bowls and utensils, we'll have dinner in a moment!”

Looking at her rushed behavior, Frederick noticed that she had regained her old manner. His face lit up as he replied, "Sure!"

Alicia had prepared mashed potatoes, pork ribs, and some eggs with tomatoes. She even made some side dishes to balance out the taste. After she filled their bowls with rice, the both of them started eating.

"Hubby, try the ribs! I learned how to make this from my mother, I think it's not bad!" "Yeah!"

The cold and desolate house that Frederick once visited less than once per month was currently filled with the aroma of hot dishes and the warm feeling of a home. As he ate the dishes that Alicia made, joy spread across his features.

On the other hand, Graham Crouch locked himself in the study and busied himself upon returning home.

"Mr. Clark, please do me a favor, can you deliver the products to me first? I'm really in a hurry! I will nave to pay tens of millions-of liquidated damages ifttean't make it at the end of this month! Mr. Clark, I will pay < you mote, can you please send-ie the products first?" "Mr. Crouch, it's not. about money. Everyone.js equal whén it comes to business but credibility is important fof us too! We might violate the contract if we hand you the products first! We are just a small business, we can't bear to offend anyone. I really can't help you. Perhaps you can go and ask for help from other agencies! I have company now, got to go!"

After making a few calls, Graham reluctantly put down the phone. He then turned his gaze to the side and asked, "Mr. Flynt, is there no other way? For now, I can't get such a large amount of product even if I have the money!"

At this instant, he didn’t expect to make a profit anymore; he just wanted to reduce the loss and overcome the difficulties!

"Mr. Crouch, the legal team of Soaver International is already prepared to press charges and they have solid evidence. How can you do this whenaworking with such a large company as Soaver ~ International? Furthermore, the ratio was five-to five! Not only has someone found out about this but even the quality check repartalso showed that we have adulterated our products. At present, they have all the witnesses and evidence they need; Soaver's legal team is very powerful. Well, even ordinary lawyers can win this lawsuit easily with all the evidence! If they really bring this to the court, you are in big trouble; you might get charged under business fraudulent! Alexis Flynt, a lawyer, replied. swnovel.ne

The main problem currently is that those qualified products you have do not belong to your company! Therefore, mysuggestion is to reconcile with them and try to keep

it low! If youtcan't provide the N products.as scheduled, the only way is to campensate for the liquidated damages you have caused! [KSoaver International would reconcile with yOu, the situation would become better! But, according to the current situation, there isn't any progress. Haven't you already tried before? They only agreed to extend the time for the first batch of products till the end of the month but even now you still can't settle the first batch of products. What about those that are coming up soon?"

Looking through the documents. Alexis continued to explain.

"The current situation has not yet spiraled out of control. However, if you can't deliver the products as scheduled and fail to compensate for the liquidated damages according to the contract, this would cause a bigger problem. If those qualified products get revealed to be other high-end OEMs. not only will your company’ s reputation be damaged, but I am afraid that you will also be investigated for piracy and fraud. When the time comes, companies other than Soaver International will be coming after you!"

Alexis grew even more anxious after analyzing the situation.

He had seen stupid people but never one to this extent. He thought to himself in despair, "If you want to adulterate, at least do it after two normal batches. How could you adulterate the first batch and even taint 50% of it? Are you crazy? Do you think that everyone else is stupid? Would they still be experts if they only checked the appearance of the goods?"

What was wrong with this guy? He even had the guts to take advantage of Soaver International; he was indeed out of his mind! Alexis was truly at a loss.

"This time, you have been too rash!" It was fortunate enough that he hadn't gone to jail yet.

Alexis really wanted to continue mocking Graham but at the thought of his own salary, he chose to shut up.

"Everything was going well initially. I made sure that everything was settled. Who knew that suddenly the person who was supposed to check the products got sick and that they would hire more people to check! Didn't those materials look the same as normal ones? In fact. how much difference in quality could there be between imported and domestic products? Let's take tiles as an example, there shouldn't be any problems for at least a year! The house would've been signed over by then and there wouldn't have been any problems!”

The more Graham thought about it, the angrier he got. He felt that this time, he was really unlucky. At much hassle. he finally managed to get his hands on an inspection pass. He had thought that with this pass, he would be able to make a fortune in the future and his life would become easier. Who would've known that the very first batch of products already had problems!

He even paid a higher price for the replication! F*ck! He was in such a big mess this time! Graham shouted anxiously, "Quick, keep thinking, is there anyone who can help us? Is there any other way?"

"If you really want to, the only way is that you can try to settle this from the internal sector of Soaver International! If they agree to let us replace them with other products of the same quality, or if they are willing to give you more time, or reduce the amount of compensation, then everything will be fine. The key is to find someone that can make the decision! Other than that, there is no other way!”

After listening to this, Graham made another call. "Mr. Lynch-”

This was Glenn Lynch, the manager who gave him tips on how to adulterate. Graham thought that he had a good relationship with him and he even gave that manager a rebate as bethought that he was very trustworthy. Little did he know that Glenn was Chet's underling.

On the other end of the line, Glenn yawned as he listened to Graham's begs and wails. He then sneered.

“It's not that I don’t want to help you. My superior has already intervened in this matter, it doesn't matter anymore whether I want to help you or not! You'd better not expect anything from me anymore! Didn't you wonder why Mr. Reynes didn’t pay that much attention at the later stage but the higher- ups suddenly intervened and left no room to negotiate in this matter?"
