Chapter 74
No one objected, but Alicia clearly saw Frederick's eyes narrowing twice. He was dissatisfied and it was obvious that he was moody. Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
He looked at her from time to time, and Alicia knew that it was because of her!
Alicia then blinked her eyes adorably and tried explaining with her facial expressions. "I am very innocent, okay?"
Unfortunately, her eyelids were almost cramping from the blinking, and yet he gave zero response. In the end, she had no choice but to follow the rest of the group to get prepared.
Because she was wearing a formal suit, she was asked to change into sports attire. It was a simple T-shirt, long pants and a pair of white sneakers. Alicia was still technically Gavin's interpreter, hence she accompanied him throughout the game. She was also responsible for looking after the cell phones and some other personal equipment with two other assistants.
Of course, she did not have to hold their personal belongings, but she had to carry her own belongings too.
When she started walking, she stepped on something and slipped. Just as she was sure she was going to make a fool of herself, a pair of hands held her from behind and prevented her from falling.
That was close!
"Thanks-"
Calmly, Alicia turned around, but the smile on her face froze. Jeremy?
Did he actually help her?
She was dazed in an instant. Based on her impression, she thought that Jeremy would only want nothing more than to see her make a fool of herself!
However, in an instant, Jeremy withdrew his gaze and hands. He then took his stuff and strode out of the room.
All of a sudden, her heart sank.
As soon as she made another move, she felt a gloomy look resting on her. The next second, she saw Frederick walking past her with a swoosh. His strength was so powerful that it even made her stagger two steps back slightly.
"Darn it! What is with my luck today? Today is really not a good day!" she thought.
Alicia scratched her head irritably, and she followed the group out hurriedly.
Soon, a grand formation was set up on the wide field.
They got into a horizontal line, and there was a maroon red horse appearing in a strikingly imposing manner. Frederick was in the lead, dressed in black with a white hat. He held a polo mallet in his hand and looked like a brave warrior on the battlefield. The sun shone on his bronze-colored skin. It was as if everyone could see the faint outline of his muscular body under the sun, stunning and magnificent.
A wave of heat surged in Alicia's heart. Thinking of his strong and warm chest, she could not help blushing and her heart started beating faster.
"Wow! He's so handsome! Come on! Come on!" the girls cheered.
"Master Frederick! Master Frederick! I love you!" one woman screamed.
"Red team! President Pitcher, go for it!" someone yelled.
As the high-pitched cries came, Alicia glanced from the corner of her eyes at the group of women who were screaming crazily. Her red lips slightly raised, and her eyes were secretly showing pride.
"What are you yelling for? That's my husband!" she thought to herself.
Soon, dust was flying everywhere in the air with the clip-clop sounds of hooves. The two groups of people in the field were swinging their mallets at a high speed. They were valiant and loud, appearing like soldiers galloping on the battlefield. The scene was phenomenal.
Alicia was standing at a distance, and trembles could be felt under her feet. She really wanted to shout and cheer, but in the end, she restrained herself.
She could not! She belonged to the red team, hence she could not break the rules. She subconsciously did not want to cheer for her own team, especially for Jeremy. Therefore, she chose to be silent throughout the game.
After having a round of the game on the field, everyone noticed that something was wrong. This match seemed to have turned into a two- person competition.
Frederick was not in a good mood and he seemed to be venting his anger. As for Jeremy, he was eager to perform and was unwilling to fall behind. For a long time, these two were chasing the ball back and forth, and everyone else just became onlookers.
Seeing that Frederick had completely ignored the rules, Carson grabbed the reins and kept shaking his head. Gavin also looked puzzled and shrugged his shoulders. After a while, almost everyone slowed down. Only two people on the field were fighting with each other.
At the same time, the referee seemed to be in a daze. He did not come back to his senses for a long time.
At this moment, with a sudden bang, the two horses collided with each other. Frederick and Jeremy were sent flying at the same time, while the others tried to save them.
"Be careful!"
"Hurry up! Stop the horse!" "Something's wrong! get some help! Hurry up and save them! Someone, please!"
All of a sudden, the scene was in chaos. Alicia's mind went blank, but she instinctively ran forward
with the crowd.
"How's it going? Is everyone alright?"
Subconsciously, she ran in the direction of Frederick's fall, but because of the distance, she could not catch her breath after running for a while. When she arrived midfield, she was far behind the crowd who rushed forward. The people in front of her had already piled up by a bunch. She tiptoed, but she could not even see him.
As soon as she turned around, she saw Jeremy on the ground with blood on his face. There was a man holding two horses behind him as if he wanted to keep them a distance from Jeremy. Simultaneously, Mr. Gavin was struggling to help Jeremy up.
There was a huge difference between the two sides. Seeing this, Alicia ran over and assisted Gavin to help Jeremy up. She realized that the two of them had dirt on their faces, and Jeremy's face was cut with blood oozing out from the wound. It looked quite intimidating.
After checking the bag on her back, Alicia took out a pack of tissue and handed it to the two of them. "Are you alright? Clean it up first."
Seeing that he was standing stably, Alicia turned around and wanted to confirm Frederick's situation. When she turned around, she saw him staring at her angrily. She followed his gaze, and saw the wet towel in her hands.
"Has he misunderstood me?" she wondered.
Alicia panicked, whirled around, and ran towards him. Before she could reach him, she saw that Frederick had pushed the people around him away. He kicked the hat beside his feet and strode away.
"Hey, Frederick, are you okay?" Carson asked.
"Wait, let's go to the hospital for a check- up!" he continued.
As Carson chased after Frederick, he turned his head and glanced at Alicia.
At this time, the person in charge of the field, along with the manager, also rushed over. "What's going on? What happened? Are there any casualties?"
"Sorry, sorry. It's our lack of precautions. The medical room is inside. Let's take a look at your
injury first! We'll get it treated!"
At the same time, the crowd had gradually dispersed. Alicia hurriedly asked the direction of the medical room and chased after them. When she stepped into the corridor, she saw Frederick walking out of the room. One of his arms was wrapped with white bandages and some blood had oozed out.
She dashed over with a few strides. "How are your injuries?"
Before her hand could touch his arm, Frederick leaned sideways to avoid it. He appeared distant, and his gaze was icy.
She looked at him and was about to call him 'Hubby', but she could not speak. She was stunned as her hand froze mid-air.
"I'm not- " Unconcerned about you!
She was about to make her justification when a
bright red figure in high heels suddenly rushed over.
