Chapter: 186
“Trying to claim credit now would be a disaster, don't you think?" she remarked.
Randolph must have charmed her.
In this moment, Rachel was lost in her happiness and certainly wouldn't heed Alicia's advice.
Caden smiled and said, "You're quick to catch on."
Alicia felt a bit constrained.
After all the bullying Rachel had endured, a single touch from Randolph had made her feel overwhelmingly happy.
She then chuckled at herself as well.
Before the divorce, Joshua would occasionally make efforts to Lift her spirits out of guilt.
In those days, she felt a genuine sense of happiness.
Did she appear just as foolish to those who were aware of the reality?
After taking a deep breath, she looked around for the temporary actors.
She picked up an ice pack and made her way toward them.
The group of young people gathered around a table near the back door looked up as Alicia approached. The man in blue was the first to rise. "How did we do?"
Alicia responded with a smile, “Great job. Your performance was better than I anticipated."
She quickly assessed the face of the woman in white.
It still had a reddish hue.
"Use this ice pack to ease the pain," she said as she handed the ice pack over.
The woman smiled shyly. "It's nothing. It was loud, but it didn't really hurt."
Seeing the eager, sincere expressions of the young workers, Alicia couldn't help but smile back.
Initially, she had promised each of them $10, 000, but her satisfaction led her to add another $5, 000 to each.
Thus, all four of them received fifteen thousand dollars.
She transferred the funds directly to them.
They erupted with joy, hugging and kissing her in gratitude.
“Are you doing charity work? You're incredible!"
Alicia chuckled at that.
"My mom used to do charity work," she declared with pride. "Honestly, I'm much stingier than she was."
The woman in white, who had a great fondness for money, hugged Alicia tightly and planted another kiss on her cheek.
The woman in pink joined in as well.
When the man leaned in to kiss her, Alicia raised her hand to stop him. “Let's not get carried away."
He grinned sheepishly. “Sorry. I'm just really happy.”
