Chapter 40
Frederick suddenly thought of something. He turned around and brought a gift box over. "A gift for you!¹'.
It was a Dior gift box.
She used to love this brand very much!
Alicia didn't expect that he would bring back a gift for her. Surprised, she opened it and a set of lipsticks in 18 different shades and three bottles of mini perfume came into her view. They were exquisite like an artwork, and even the box gave off a faint fragrance.
"You are wasting your money! Why did you buy so many lipsticks? But, I like it very much!" Alicia said.
She needed to wear makeup when she was at work. Lipstick was a must for her and she used it the most. Sometimes, she put on lipstick only if she was rushing.
Not every color in the box was suitable for her, but she knew that he was sincere. Alicia hugged him tightly, tiptoed, and gave him a kiss.
"Thank you!"
Feeling very much delighted, Alicia had an illusion that she was being spoiled. Comparing the color cards on each lipstick, she chose a color that she would use the most. She opened it and applied it on her lips.
"Hubby, does this color look good on me?" Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Her lips were smooth, plump, natural and lovely. It
was tempting to plant a kiss there.
From the perspective of a man, she was really unique and impeccable. Every part of her body was perfect. She was extremely eye- catching and stunning, especially in bed.
Frederick gently held her and bit her ear. "You are too sexy! Suddenly, I regret it..."
"Huh?" Alicia was confused.
"I shouldn't have bought you such a gift that would attract the attention of other men!"
He had never bought anything for a woman. In fact, he did not have this kind of awareness at all. He bought this gift purely by accident. When he was at the shopping mall with his friends, he saw a couple in a store. The man bought his girlfriend a lipstick and the woman was overjoyed. That woman showered her men with many kisses and praises. Because of that, Frederick wanted to buy a gift for Alicia.
However, he didn't know which to choose. He was not sure whether the staff's suggestion suited her or not. Hence, he bought one of each color and asked the staff to put it in an exquisite gift box. This was a custom-made order. The staff needed to get some lipsticks from other outlets as they didn't have all the colors. Frederick waited for three days.
Pursing her lips lightly, Alicia narrowed her eyes with a smile. "I'll only look good for you, Hubby!"
Because of this small gift, Alicia was bursting with joy. It was not because of the luxury brand of the lipsticks but because her husband remembered her when he was out with his friends.
It was indescribable happiness, something to be remembered.
After a simple lunch, they went their separate ways.
Frederick was discussing some official matters with Chet in the CEO's office of Soaver International. When they were done with the discussion, Frederick asked, "Have you seen or heard anything about the hotel recently?"
Chet was shocked when he noticed the smile on Frederick's face gradually missing.
Chet shook his head. "I have checked the surveillance but it didn't capture anything. The direction of the camera had been adjusted. It should be a planned mission. There were many guests in the hotel that day, and there were several large banquets. Therefore, the personnel was very complicated, but the company didn't make any unusual movements. I've also sent someone to investigate Miss Blanchard. She is just an ordinary office lady. Her circle of friends is very small and has little contact with us! Personally, I am more inclined that both of you had a... romantic encounter!".
A supercilious look came from Frederick. Chet lowered his head and cleared his throat.
"By the way, there's going to be a gathering at East Bannpool. Master Johnson asked if you are free in the next few days. He will be going on a business trip next week!"
