After Marrying My Boss
Chapter 490
When she held my hands tightly, I felt uneasy again. Turning around, I caught a glimpse of Michael's curious frown. I guessed that he too was equally surprised at how Alicia had gone overboard with her warmth.
“Mrs. Campbell, since you're here to chat with my mom, I won't get in the way. Please carry on.”
For some inexplicable reason, Alicia filled me with complex emotions which I didn't understand.
“Not at all, not at all. Anna, I like you very much the first time I saw you. Wouldn't it be great if I had a daughter just like you?”
Maintaining her tight grip on my hand, Alicia's gaze was visibly different when she uttered the last sentence.
Already feeling awkward, I was stumped upon hearing her words. After all, I didn't know what to say when she made it sound like I was her daughter.
Meanwhile, Josephine knitted her brows as she was equally puzzled by how Alicia was treating me. Nevertheless, she hid her emotions well.
“Mrs. Campbell, you have an excellent sense of humor. Everyone knows that you have a beautiful daughter whom your husband puts on a pedestal. Compared to her, Anna is just an ordinary girl.”
Sensing my awkwardness, Josephine came over to defuse the situation.
Realizing that she was being too overt with her emotions, Alicia let go of my hands. Even then, she still maintained her gaze on me.
As if something suddenly occurred to her, she quickly took off her bracelet and put in on my hand.
“Since this is our first meeting, I didn't manage to prepare anything for you. Hence, I hope you won't mind this bracelet as a gift.”
Stunned by her words and actions, I had no idea what was going on.
By the time I regained my senses, I quickly took the bracelet off.
“Mrs. Campbell, what are you doing? Why are you giving me a gift? There's no way I can accept such an expensive bracelet.”
At that moment, I was truly baffled by Alicia's warmth. Usually, such gifts would only be given by family. Therefore, her actions felt very strange to me.
When she held my hands tightly, I felt uneasy again. Turning around, I caught a glimpse of Michael's curious frown. I guessed that he too was equally surprised at how Alicia had gone overboard with her warmth.
After stuffing the bracelet back into her hand, I began to panic. At the same time, I could see that both Michael and Josephine were equally bewildered by the turn of events.
“It's just a bracelet and not expensive at all. Please, just put it on.”
Even though I clearly declined the gift, Alicia was adamant that I accept it and tried to wear it for me again.
Although it would be impolite of me to refuse the well-intentioned gift, I still felt weird receiving it.
Consequently, I wondered if we were somehow related considering how generous she was to me.
“Mrs. Campbell, I can't accept such an expensive gift.”
Considering her illustrious status, it was a given that the jewelry she wore would be extremely valuable. As a result, I just couldn't accept the gift.
