Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)

She had to be flexible in an urgent situation like this.

Carolien had a rough idea in mind. She picked up a few documents, grabbed her mobile phone, and swiped through it absent-mindedly before hurriedly heading out.

She didn't have much time left!

She went straight to the Eshaun Area, Kingstone District. In no time at all, Carolien found Collins Group's cosmetic surgery agency. Her eyes fell on the huge "Han" sign in the center of the low-key, luxurious building, and her gaze subconsciously softened.

She tugged on the hem of her shirt and took a deep breath before walking in.

"Welcome to the Collins Group Beauty Agency. What can I do for you, Miss? We offer all kinds of cosmetic procedures, using the most advanced technology and facilities. No matter what you need, we will try our best to satisfy you! Is this your first time here? Do you have any preferred surgeons? I can help you arrange-"

The beautiful lady in a white coat was very enthusiastic. As she spoke, another staff member brought her a cup of chrysanthemum tea and told her that she could go sit on the sofa in the reception area to have a detailed discussion.

It was not her first time there, but everything had changed. Carolien smiled faintly and waved her hand in refusal.

"Is Guillermo Collins here? I'm a friend of his from his home country. Can you help me get in contact with him? Tell him that... Carolien Jones wants to see him!"

Looking at each other, the two staff members were obviously surprised. "You want to see the president?"

"Well... That's not up to us. I can only try to help you deliver the message. As for the rest, it's not up to me!"

"Okay. Thank you," Carolien said.

She stood in a corner of the hall, and her gaze wandered around. Her eyes swept across the people entering and exiting, then landed on the display board. Carolien could not help but take another deep breath. After a long while, she spun around on the spot. No matter how she tried to convince herself, the strange feeling in her heart wouldn't go away, and she couldn't even sit still.

She didn't know how long she stood there. Even after taking big breaths, she still felt suffocated. While she was hesitating about whether to leave or not, she heard the soft voice of a woman from behind her.

"Miss Jones, was it? Please come with me!"

Turning around, Carolien saw that it was the staff member who had welcomed her earlier. She nodded and followed the lady.

They went straight to the sixth floor. At the door to the elevator, the staff member entrusted her to another woman. This time, the woman spoke in Carolien's mother tongue, "Miss Jones, Mr. Collins is waiting for you in the reception room. This way, please. The corridor has just been sterilized. It's a little slippery, so please be careful."

"Thank you."

Carolien's heart leaped to her throat in an instant. She looked at the well-dressed, stern, and beautiful woman in front of her, which caused the corner of her mouth to twitch. The woman stopped at the door of an office at the corner of the corridor.

"Aren't you going inside?" Carolien asked.

"Mr. Collins prefers silence. He doesn't like to be disturbed."

The woman's attitude was professional, and her hands were placed over each other in front of her. She was serious and didn't have a smile on her face. Instead, her eyebrows were slightly furrowed. Carolien was still puzzled.

"Oh..."

Did he prefer silence? From what she remembered, he was a cheery person who loved to have fun.

Were they talking about the same person?

She let out a grunt of acknowledgment and walked into the room. However, while doing so, she instinctively stuck her hand into her pocket and gripped the pepper spray that she always carried with her.noveldrama

The big room was dimly lit. Although

it wasn't like she couldn't see what

was in front of her, she found it

strange. Despite that, the

atmosphere in the room was

stagnant, and she could not detect

anything unusual. Carolien walked

forward slowly. Subconsciously, she turned around to observe the situation around her. When she

slowly shifted back around, a shadowy figure suddenly came into sight from behind the desk, which gave her a huge fright.

"Ah!"

Clutching her chest, she took a step back. Upon taking a closer look, she saw a man in a suit. At that moment, half of his face was covered by a mask, but some wrinkles could be seen on his slightly exposed skin. There was a laptop in front of the man. It seemed that he was working. He was wearing gloves. When the light from the laptop shone on his face, it made him look gloomy and unnerving.

Carolien steeled herself and looked at the pair of old, clear eyes. She found them to be vaguely familiar. She was afraid that her reaction would be seen as impolite or that it would cause him to misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained herself.

"Sorry, I was distracted just now, so I accidentally..."

That was why she had accidentally gotten scared.

A trace of shallow hurt flashed across her eyes. The next second, she heard the man's icy voice. "It's fine."

That left her speechless.

She knew that tone, and those three familiar words were filled with bone-deep affection. It instantly hit her like a thunderbolt. Carolien's mouth hung open and she was obviously in a trance. She even forgot what she wanted to say.

That voice...

Getting up, the man looked straight at her. "I know you. Guillermo's talked about you before. He happened to leave because he had things to do. I'm his uncle. Why did you come all the way here?"

"No wonder your voice sounds so familiar."

After snapping back to reality, Carolien bowed respectfully to him. "I'm sorry to disturb you, Sir. I have a very important favor to ask of Guillermo. When will he come back?"

If things really didn't work out, she would go look for him.

He was the only person she knew in that country. No matter how much she didn't want to do so, she had no other choice.

The corner of the man's mouth twitched a few times, and his expression grew even odder.

"For the time being, he may not be able to come back, and it won't be easy to get in contact with him. You can tell me, no matter what it is. I will make a temporary decision on his behalf. Guillermo said that you are a very important person in his life, so naturally, you are my distinguished guest. If it is within my ability, I will take care of it for him!"

His voice, tone, and the inexplicable feeling of trust and security he gave her were all too familiar. If it weren't for the old face in front of her, she would have thought

he was the man she once loved deeply. After hesitating for a while, she gave him a direct answer.

"I know that your company is a very famous beauty agency in Korea. It's

famous for its unique rejuvenation t

technology and strict privacy system. It is very popular among rich and famous ladies. I'm aware that the information of your customers is confidential but right now, I really need Mr. Park from SOY Starshine's address and related information. The more you have, the better. Can you make an exception to leak some information to me?"

She added, "I promise that I will keep my mouth shut and that I won't expose Collins Group. I also promise that what have to do has nothing to do with the beauty industry. I will not harm anything within your interest, nor will I hurt Mrs. Park! I know that doing so may put you in a difficult position, or that it might be inappropriate. However, I'm desperate right now. I don't have enough time to find a private investigator. This is the only plan I

could come up with.

Carolien begged with her eyes full of tears. This was her last hope.
