Chapter 38
In the end, Alicia was woken up by someone. The long-lost passion dispelled the loneliness of the late night, and fired up the two empty hearts. It was a dazzling and passionate night.
It was not until dawn that it slowly came to an end.
Alicia's whole body was aching as if she had been running all night. She didn't know how long she had been sleeping. She only knew that she opened her eyes when she was woken up by her colleague, Miriam Leonard's, phone call.
"Mira?" Sitting up, she still couldn't come back to her senses.
"Alicia, what are you doing? I've sent you so many messages, but why didn't you reply? There's a meeting today in the department to discuss our plan for next month. We also need to strive for projects with several big groups. Have you forgotten? The director has even called for you..."
After hearing what she said, Alicia instantly sobered up.
"Well, something happened in my family and I've forgotten about it! Mira, I'll call the director. Can you help me apply for leave? I may go there later! Thank you!"
Alicia was annoyed after hanging up the phone.
She found an excuse to give to the director and settled the matter after being scolded for a while. When she came back to her senses, she realized that it was already half-past ten in the morning.
"D*mn it! My full attendance bonus!" she cursed.
While she was getting irked, she felt a hand tightened around her waist, and a hot kiss fell on her shoulder. At the same time, a pleasant male voice came from behind her.
"Morning, Baby!"
He had a good sleep after being in bed with her the previous night. Hence, he was in a good mood.
Alicia pouted. She was so angry that she almost cried. She turned around and threw a few punches at him. "It's all your fault. My full attendance bonus is gone. My good record has been ruined, and I was even scolded by the director!". Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
She didn't mind that he went to pick her up in the middle of the night. However, he got it on with her several times. If it wasn't for him saying that each round was the final round, how could she be so tired that she overslept?
This time, he had really made a fool of her!
Suddenly, she remembered that she had slipped out in the middle of the night. She didn't know if her mother had seen the note she left behind. She turned around, called her home, and explained.
Seeing that she was still pouting and was full of gloom after putting down the phone, Frederick held her in his arms.
"Well, don't be angry! It's my fault. I'll compensate double the amount, okay?" Frederick said softly.
Pursing her lips, Alicia didn't say anything.
Picking up his phone, Frederick really gave her a bonus!
[A bonus for my wife] Alicia read the title of the bonus in confusion.
Alicia thought he was just trying to cheer her up. She clicked on it. "8888 dollars?"
That much?
When she looked at him, she was still a little surprised. Alicia asked, "Isn't it necessary to transfer through bank application when the amount is more than 200 dollars?"
She had a hard time in the past three years, and her experience told her that money doesn't grow on trees. Therefore, she had never been greedy for money, because she knew too well that there would always be a price to pay! She was not used to receiving such a huge sum of money all of a sudden.
"What's wrong? Silly, are you suspecting that the bonus is just a joke?" Frederick laughed.
Then, Frederick sent her another message. When Alicia heard the notification tone on her phone, she didn't even dare to tap on it. In the end, Frederick did it for her.
After a while, he said, "I've told you I would compensate double! Don't be angry anymore!"
This was not a bonus. It was almost as much as her salary! She felt a little uncomfortable, but when she recalled she was really short of money, she didn't hesitate in accepting it. She just looked down with some inexplicable emotions in her eyes.
At this time, Frederick's cell phone rang...
