Chapter 592
Listening to their whispers, Alicia was still very touched in her heart: At least, there were still people on her side!
Standing on the tip of her toes, Alicia even took out a small gift.
Kneeling on the ground, Mary and Jamie were cleaning the goods, and pasting the price label.
"Yes! I feel really bad for Miss Swift. It is not her fault that she's beautiful. Miss Swift is very kind. It's the first time I've met such a considerate boss!" "Yeah! Not only does she give out our salary on time, she believes in us, and more importantly, does not get angry at all!"
"Yes! Maybe Mr. Clements is better. He even dares to steal Mr. Nick's woman. Moreover, he does not even try to hide the fact that he had brought Miss Swift along with him on a business trip. They even took part in activities and kissed just like an ordinary couple on the streets! That scene is so beautiful! I'm so envious..."
"Don't you think Mr. Nick is very pitiful? Honestly, I think Miss Swift shouldn't be like this. After all, Mr. Nick has not done anything to her, it's clear that loves her so much. How manly! But Mr. Clements also loves her very much and treats her like a treasure. Moreover, he is handsome, rich, gentle, and considerate. Most importantly, he is reputed in the business world and is admired by people. It's not wrong for girls to choose the person who can give them a sense of security. Sigh..."
Alicia listened to the two of them mutter. They were more disconsolate and serious about the matter than she was. She squinted her eyes and said in a rough voice, "Jamie, can you have a standpoint?"
Who on earth was she supporting?
"Of course I do! I..." Support both sides!
She raised her voice and suddenly realized something. Both of them stood up immediately, "Miss Swift, you're back?"
Jamie's face turned pale as she nudged Mary, "Miss Swift, I was just talking nonsense. Please don't take it to heart! Right?"
"Yes! Yes! Miss Swift, we mean no harm! Don't be angry! We are not loafing on our jobs..."
They eagerly waved their hands and explained. Both of them looked a little embarrassed. Alicia smiled and shook the small gift in her hands.
"Why would I be angry? Not only have you defended me so much, you even helped me manage the store so well. I can't be any more grateful! These are Laramie City's special opal bracelets. One for each of you. It's said to bring good luck!"
After giving it to them, Alicia explained with a smile,
"Also, Mr. Nick is my brother and Mr. Clements is my husband. So, you guys don't have to worry! Sometimes, a fight between men is a sign of friendship, although it can get a little overboard!"
"Ah..."
The two girls gasped in astonishment, but they also breathed a sigh of relief.
"I see! I was wondering why you guys are so harmonious! How can these gossips be so concocting? It's so easy to misunderstand if you don't know the full picture!"
"Haha, that's why people would add words like 'appeared' and 'seemed' when writing! It is just that we are thinking too much! As long as Miss Swift isn't angry, that's fine!"
"Wow, this opal is so beautiful! Thank you, Miss Swift, help me put it on!"
"By the way, Miss Swift, here are the bills for the past few days, and receipts."
"I'm going to restock the goods first! We received orders online."
Then, the three of them got to work one after another, and the atmosphere instantly returned to the busyness and laughter like before.
At this time, in the Clements family mansion, Mrs. Clements tossed the newspaper in her hand. She was so furious that she said, "You good-for- nothing! I am so angry!"
When Paula came out with fruits and desserts, she hurried over and said, "Mrs. Clements, what is it now? Why are you still so hot-tempered? Here, drink this to cool down!"
As Paula put away the newspaper, she unconsciously lowered her eyes. She quickly rolled it up and moved it to the other side.
"Why are you hiding it? I have finished reading it! This good-for-nothing. Tell me, what's wrong with him? He'd rather choose a girl from a nightclub than those educated women. What's more, he's fighting others for this girl. He even took her on a business trip?"
She slapped the sofa on the other side and roared; she was fuming.
"He's really going to embarrass the Clements family! He actually stole such a woman and even treated her like a treasure? Tell me, do you... think this is how the head of the family should behave?"
"No wonder Christian wanted to hand the Clements Group to Mason instead of him! How many assets would be enough for him to splurge?" After pulling out a piece of newspaper, Mrs. Clements narrowed her eyes and threw it again and again.
"Look, what are these? Only Love,
leather bags worth millions of dollars and there is a pile of them. They are all high-end brands. He even brought that vixen on his business trip and all the places they shopped are high-end areas! She is obviously vain and greedy! They are already doing this in the country. Can you even imagine how much they would spend if they were abroad?!" Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
"No! My good grandson can't be destroyed by this vixen! Of all people, how could he love a woman from the nightclub? If she was someone innocent without being influenced by the surrounding, it is still understandable. But what kind of person is she? Unclear relationships with other men?"
She got up and spun around on the spot. Mrs. Clements looked like she was going out of the house in a hurry, "Being entangled in affairs with such a woman, the Clements family will be ruined by her!" "Mrs. Clements, where are you going?"
"I'm going to settle things with her!"
Paula tried to comfort her as she seized Mrs. Clements's arm.
"Mrs. Clements, look how anxious you are. You haven't even figured out what is going on! Master Frederick might just be playing... If you want to go, you can't be impetuous! Not only will the matter not be settled, but you might also get even angrier! Then, Master Frederick will get upset, and so will you. You raised Master Frederick yourself, I'm sure you know his temperament well! Why don't you ask first?"
Sighing faintly, Mrs. Clements calmed down and slowly sat back down again. "It's exactly because I know that I'm worried! Back then, with Danica, I was afraid that he would fall..."
Grabbing Paula's hand, Mrs. Clements shook her head and said,
"Paula, you also watched him grow up! He loves his mother. Even if his memory is blurred, he longed for the love and warmth of a woman. But he has been hurt too deeply by them so he treated them cold-heartedly. I thought that he finally had a little warmth when he met Alicia. Who knew, such a good girl, God would... In fact, I can understand his pain. I can see how deeply he loved Alicia. He's probably struggling on for my sake! But how long can I stay alive given my old age? Can I live longer than him? That's why I want to find a suitable person for him as soon as possible so that he can walk out of misery sooner!"
She pounded her knees with a worried and disappointed look. Mrs. Clements sighed heavily and said,
"This time, he really seemed to have walked out of misery. But look at what kind of woman he has found. Even if he wants to find a divorced woman with a child, I would not be so angry!"
In the past, she never said anything about him flirting with celebrities and lingering in nightclubs because she could see that he never took them
seriously!
But this time, it was different!
