An Ice Queen for sale (Alice) novel Chapter 168

Chapter 168 Torture 

he job so much, so 

so she is looking 

After we finished, Gideon told her we needed a day to decide, but she could not stop nodding. She said she wants thei forward to hearing from us soon. 

After she left, Gideon looked at me. 

“What do you think? 

I made a face. 

“I don’t know, Gideon. Is it just me who thinks that somehow she wasn’t honest?” 

He sindled 

“She said she really wants a job. Maybe she just acted a bit too much, just to make us like her.” 

o, do you think she praised herself on purpose?” 

50,0 

“Yes, and I think I also know the reason she doesn’t try acting.” He said while smirking 

“And do you like her?” 

“Alice.” He sighed. “She will clean and cook only. She will not come her to keep us entertained, therefore I do not even think about that. I only care about her cleaning and cooking skills.* 

1 shrugged my shoulders. Maybe he was right. First, we need to see if she can do 

e can do the job first, then we will 

will have enough time to decide if we like her or 

“Okay, I’m not arguing. Maybe you are right. Do you want to see the others?” 

I looked up at him, and he looked back at me with a frown. 

“You said you didn’t like them.” 

“True” I rolled my eyes. 

“Okay, I will let you think about it. I am not rushing you.” 

I smiled while he kissed my forehead. I knew he would accept my decision even if I would say I do not want her in the house, so I thought I will give myself time to think. 

The next day, I went for my training. Gideon texted me when he woke up 

I stayed up longer than I should last night. I sat on his lap while we watched a movie, and somehow we both were in need, so none of us could reject the idea of a quick sex. It seemed to be a bad idea as I felt so tired in the morning. I found my training harder than usual. 

Beth was angry with me, of course. She assumed I was up late last night. I tried to make it sound better by telling her I just could not fall asleep, but it did not help it. Her anger towards me did not fade away 

I loved skating, but this time I was so happy when I could finally leave the ice rink. While I sat on the bench in the changing room to change my shoes, my thoughts were en Gareth. I only hoped he would have mercy on me when he saw me. 

“Alice, here.” 

I looked up. It was Beth, and she had a box of some kind of tea in her hand.. 

“What is this?” I asked with a frown 

“It’s a mix of herbal teas. It is all natural. You can drink a cup of it if you can not sleep next time, but you can take nothing else.”

“Thank you, Beth.” 

I thought she would leave, but I looked up at her again when I realized she was still standing there. 

She sighed. 

“Alice, I told you a million times. This is your time, and this is your future. Do not ruin your hard work just before the finish line. A whole coach is with you. They trust you, and working a lot to make you end as the best. Don’t make us disappointed.” 

I swallowed and nodded. I hated that side of her. Even if I knew I was the one who worked the hardest, when she had a speech like this, I always felt bad. And I knew she did it on purpose. Despite that, that made me feel selfish. 

My mood was completely ruined by her that day. I sat in my car for a few minutes before I left. What I really wanted to do was just go home, get into bed and spend the whole day like that covered up, shut the hard world out for a little while. 

I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to calm myself down. I turned the engine on and I drove to the gym. 

Gareth looked at me weirdly. After we greeted each other, I went to the changing room to get ready, and when I appeared, I saw him awaiting me.
