Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)



After the incident, Willy never once came looking for Lauren.

On that day, after the recording, Lauren inadvertently scanned the date on the screen of her mobile phone and came to a sudden realization that he had not come to disturb her for a month.

Exiting the office, a cup of chrysanthemum tea was handed over. Lauren smiled and inquired, "Thank you! Why are you here? Where's Kaxen?"

"I happened to have something to attend to when I noticed Kaxen holding your cup and pouring you more water. Don't worry. This cup has never left my hands! What else can he do? When he saw me, he threw all his work onto me and must have been gone somewhere else to deal with other business!"

They encountered a lot of tricks manipulated behind them since they were in the industry. She had also been plotted against and had almost ruined her throat. Not feeling so at ordinary times, her throat would go really dry for water whenever she got down to business. Millie implied for her not to worry about the drink. Lauren understood as she shot her a grateful look.

"You do know him well!" "You're our money tree, plus we have no idea how long you can last in the circle. Would he dare slack off?"

In the circle, all of them were aware of the fact that any opportunity would disappear in a flash, let alone her, who was born with strong family background and had joined the field for fun since she was not short of money!

Lauren rolled her eyes. Millie lowered her voice, leaning in with a giggle. "Hey, Lauren, are you free tonight?"

At the sight of her cheeky gaze, Lauren could tell that she was with a malicious intention. "What are you planning?"

"What could it be other than Mr. Carter offering to treat you to another meal?" Millie extended her hands to show a number seven. Scrolling through her phone, Lauren rolled her eyes at him, questioning, "Did you sell me out with a mere seven thousand dollars?" After a sharp inhale, Millie straightened up and complained.

"Lauren, you're looking down on yourself! Am I that useless? Would I sell you off for seven thousand dollars? Seventy thousand! Seventy thousand! All right? There's a digit missing! And that's just half of it!" "Of course, I get it. Seventy thousand is nothing to you, Lauren, no, Miss Tevye! That said, why let go of money that comes in our way! Although Logan has always been well known for being a playboy and a womanizer, he's really generous! According to how flirtatious he is, he may fall in love with others by tomorrow! A lunch with him is all you need to do. If I keep an eye on him in secret, nothing will go wrong! By the way, I've also recently heard that Logan has fallen in love with the champion of the modeling contest and is trying to win her heart over. I have photos as proof. Let me show you..."

As she rambled on, Millie withdrew her phone.

Squinting her eyes, Lauren gave her a disgusting shove, but before her hand could strike Millie, a familiar ringtone sound. After indicating for Lauren to stay silent, Millie walked to the door, stepping on her high heels as if she was on a catwalk runaway.

"Oh, Mr. Carter. Hello, it's me..."

Listening to how Millie tried her best to flatter Logan, Lauren repeatedly shook her head. She had been talking bad about him, but right then, she was trying her best to appease him.

A womanizer?

Well, it was quite an appropriate description of Logan!

Just as she was having a good time, a message came into her sight. Lauren's beautiful eyes were instantly pervaded with frost. "Willy has booked a table, and it seems to be enjoying a meal with Cloud."

Lauren clenched her fists. Right then, the strength from gritting her teeth was near to shattering them into smithereens.

The door to the room pushed open once more. Millie re- emerged, massaging her shoulders. "Whew. I'm exhausted..."

An idea came to Lauren as she picked up her cell phone to turn it on.

"Millie, I'm free tonight! And, I'm available only for tonight! Doesn't Mr. Carter want to treat me to dinner? I'll agree to his request. Tell him that we can have dinner together, but I'll be the one to choose the time and location!"

The night was as still as the surface of a clear lake. The cool breeze brushed away the heat of the day, exceptionally refreshing.

Half- past seven, Lauren appeared before the entrance of Cloudon Hotel. When her eyes fell on the sign of the hotel decorated with exaggerating clouds, her heart seemed to be deeply pricked.noveldrama

"Welcome. A table for?"

The main hall of the high-end hotel set up a lavishly decorated water fountain in the very center. One side was elegantly designed, while the other had a relatively warm ambiance. It was obvious that the combination of both styles in balance was to probably attract more customers coming in large families. A toy rocking cart was placed at the corner of the hall where staff members distributed

balloons. The big hall was

somewhat crowded and very lively!

"I have an appointment with my friend. Table 16. Where do I go?"

"This way please!"

Under the guidance of the waiter, Lauren nodded and thanked him. At the same time, she withdrew her phone from the dazzling red handbag.

The path extended straight ahead,

but the corner of her eyes couldn't help darting around. Passing by Table 12, a piece of black cloth entered her sight. Lowering her head, she pretended to inadvertently swing her arm. With a swoosh, her glaring ruby bag swept past the feet of black trousers and landed on the side of the lustrously polished shoe of a male.

"Oh, my bag! I'm sorry!"

Without even raising her head, she bent over, pretending to reach forward to pick it up. Before she could do so, Willy had already straightened up with the bag in hand.

"Thank you!"

Reaching out to take it over, Lauren lifted her gaze. Under the soft light, her well-refined facial features were sharp and outlined. Prompted by the conditioned reflex, Willy jolted up from the sofa.

Why was it, Lauren?

All at once, panic and anxiousness flashed past his eyes. Willy felt as though he was caught red-handed in the midst of committing a mistake. Stunned for a long period, he had long forgotten to come to his senses.

On the other hand, Cloud had her mouth wide agape in astonishment with her face deathly pale. Without realizing it, she got up on her feet.

Sweeping her icy gaze past the two

of them, Lauren noticed the little girl sitting obediently on the sofa with her head raised. She was around six, clean and gorgeous. Right then, she was dressed in a pink Chanel child's costume, hugging onto an adorable soft toy. The table was full of snacks and a three-story Barbie mini cake.

The deserted scene of her baby's birthday flitted through her mind. The irony was that it was just a month ago. Lauren's heart was once again covered with a layer of frost. With the corners of her lips lifted to a slight smirk, she spoke with a smile.

"My apologies for disturbing you. My lipstick seems to be inside. Could you help me pick it up?" After returning to himself, Willy bent over again. He picked up a black lipstick on the inside of the sofa and handed it to her. "Why are you here?"

A soft hum was all he received as Lauren feigned not to have heard it. Across from them, Cloud's eyes darted over. "Are they close? Didn't she leave? When did she return? Why do I know nothing?" A series of questions exploded in her mind.

At the exact moment, an excited male voice rang out, "Miss Teyve, here!"

Lauren waved in response before she proceed to turn around and glance at Willy, acting all distant as if they had met for the first time. "Thank you!"
