Chapter 75
"Master Clements, why are you hurt so badly? I'm so distressed!"
”1 heard that you had an accident. I came immediately! Fortunately, it seems to be just a scratch. To be safe, it would be better to go to the hospital for a check-up!"
"Why don't you come to my office first to wash your face and change your clothes? Besides, you would need some time to wait for your car!"
The person who came was a slim woman in a bright red dress. Her makeup was amazing. She looked mature and capable. She even had a unique charm and temperament in her. Judging from the woman's clothes, Alicia guessed that she was a staff of this clubhouse, one with a higher position.
At this time, her slender fingers with red nails touched Frederick's chest from time to time. It was obvious that she was flirting with him, but she was pretending to be concerned about him. She tried to look normal, but her eyes were filled with a burning desire. Everyone could tell her true intentions at a glance.
Alicia felt a burst of anger and goosebumps appeared all over her. She thought, "This woman, just how shameless can you be?"
Alicia hated her attitude very much, thus, she subconsciously wanted to do something. However, when she moved her feet, she heard Frederick speak.
"Alright!"
Not only did he agree, but he also placed his hand on the woman's shoulder and walked away in front of Alicia.
A pungent fragrance came-
In an instant, Alicia's eyes became gloomy.
There were VIP rooma for VIP members, and even one specially catered for Frederick. However, on this day, he actually went to the manager's room and made it a tedious task to get someone to send his clothes over. As for Carson, he had already gone to get the car.
Although Frederick only went there to wash his face and change his clothes, it was already a piece of shocking news for everyone. In the blink of an eye, the news spread throughout the whole building.
"Master Clements has entered Hailey's room. Is it true?"
"Hailey is amazing, isn't she? Master Clements is famous for being hard to serve. I heard that he did not even want female servants in the past! Yet, Hailey has actually succeeded? That's amazing!"
"Of course! How else could she become a manager? Her salary will be doubled again! When President Harris entered her room last time, he did not come out for three hours!".
"I heard that she has even given birth to a child before! Maybe it is because she is experienced?" "What's wrong with all of you? Are all of you out of your mind? Haven't you heard that the two things he hates the most are rats and women? We are all no better than rats! There is a rule in the company that says that no one is allowed to criticize him!"
"Who knows? It's normal for a rich man to be moody and capricious, isn't it? It's not surprising that he likes women today and men tomorrow! Isn't he just doing it for fun? Maybe he has changed!"
"That might be true. I have heard rumors saying that Master Clements seemed to have brought a woman here before! She was an exception. Someone has seen that woman before said that she
was as beautiful and gentle as a fairy. She has even fed Master Clements fruits too. Ah, Charis might know something about this matter!"
"Really? Is there a mistake? What if that was Master Trevor?"
"I don't think so! I thought everyone called them 'Master Clements' and 'Master Trevor'?"
"If that's the case, then it is normal for Master Clements to not like women. He looks down on them. He was raised like that!"
Along the way, everyone she walked past was having the same heated discussion. When Alicia arrived at the door of the room, her footsteps were very heavy. She was also in a bad mood.
"Were they talking about him?" she wondered.
"Would he actually do something like that in her office? No! He is not that type of person!" she thought to herself.
"Should I knock on the door? Would he get angrier?"
While she was in a dilemma, the door of the room opened.
She saw Frederick walking out, and Alicia's eyes lit up. "He did not stay in there for three hours!"
It was an indescribable joy. But, disappointment came over her at the next second. It was as if Frederick did not see her, he turned around and strode away. She was filled with embarrassment. Her lips were parted slightly and she withdrew her hands that were in midair.
He was angry! He was blaming her!
This was an undeniable fact. She could not help but sigh. She froze for a few seconds before she trotted out.
She followed him all the way to the hospital. When Alicia arrived at the consultation room, the doctor had already removed his gauze. She noticed that half of his left arm was covered with scars and blood. It was a terrible sight to behold.
"Master Clements, some sand and soil are deep inside the skin. We must clean it up! It may hurt a little!" the doctor said.
"Okay..."
Seeing that he nodded, the doctor next to him took a tweezer and disinfectant. He started his work on his arm little by little. He clamped the tweezers between his fingers and worked on it. Blood- stained cotton balls slowly piled up as the sharp tweezer kept dancing on Frederick's arm, and blood flowed even more. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
Alicia could only stare. It was so painful to watch that she gritted her teeth. Frederick just frowned, and occasionally there were hissing sounds and heavy breathing.
The doctor was sweating after a while. He took off his mask and wiped his face. Then, he went to get a change of some medical supplies.
He informed, "I'll help you get some anesthetic! There are still a lot of them! I have to go deeper..."
"There's no need! Just continue!" Frederick said.
As soon as Frederick said it, the doctor paused with the syringe in his hands and looked at Carson who was beside him. When he saw Carson nodding, he continued to work.
Alicia's eyes turned red in an instant. She did not expect him to be so badly injured! For a long while, she bit her lips and crouched down at the door. She dared not go in, but she did not want to leave either.
At this time, there was a slight sound of footsteps, and she saw a nurse coming to the door. The nurse stopped at the door and looked at Alicia with criticism in her eyes.
Alicia instinctively took a few steps back and left the door. By this time, another group of people came out of a room across the hall, forcing her to move a little further off.
"Doctor Vives, the X-ray is out!" a nurse said.
The nurse from the room came out, walked past Alicia, and glanced at her for two seconds. A man's gentle voice then came from the room.
"You are lucky to have not hurt your bones! You have a slight concussion as well as a mild injury to your soft tissue. The doctor would prescribe some medication for you later. Go back and take good care of yourself! You should make sure not to do too much strenuous exercise for the time being..."
Just as Alicia wanted to hear more of it, she looked up and saw Jeremy coming towards her. In the blink of an eye, he had already stood in front of her. Their eyes met, and time stopped for two seconds.
"Thank you... I'm sorry!" he said.
The 'thank you' was because she had helped him to get up earlier. The 'sorry¹ was for humiliating her the other day.
In truth, ever since he had said those words, he wanted to apologize to her personally. However, those words were stuck in his mouth several times. He always stopped himself before he could say it. Everything that happened earlier was not a big deal to Alicia. She would have done the same to anyone. But for Jeremy, it was a big shock for him.
Before Alicia could understand his words, she felt a dark gaze on her from behind. Thus, she turned around. A darkened and gloomy face appeared right before her eyes. She was so scared that she
staggered.
