Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister -
Chapter 592 Come Back to Work
"What? Why? Because that bitch asked you to?" Shane snapped. Hearing his words, the chief editor understood why Clara didn't like him. He was ill-mannered.
"How could you call Mrs. Kirkland that?" the chief editor frowned and refuted. She liked Clara and her boss Horace a lot, so she was displeased when she heard someone call Clara a bitch.
"Mrs. Kirkland?" Shane was stunned at these two words. So, Clara was able to get him fired because she was Horace's wife? Even after Shane walked out of the company building, his mind was still in a blank "Clara, I've fired Shane. You can come back to work now," the chief editor said to Clara on the phone. She wasn't trying to butter Clara up, but she did talk to Clara in a much gentler tone than that she used when she was talking to the others.
"I see. Thank you, Madam." Clara nodded, hung up the phone and was about to go upstairs. She had been sitting in the café downstairs and was sure the chief editor would do as she said. However, coincidently, she met Shane on the way. Clara straightened her back when she passed by Shane, only to hear Shane say, "I underestimated you, Clara."
Clara raised her brow and said nothing. She walked back to the office in high heels. On her way, there were people staring at her with inquisitive eyes, she stared back at them and they all lowered their heads.
It was no until she got back to her desk and checked the time that she found she had wasted almost the whole morning. When she was about to start working, she heard Leilah's words. "Clara, are you okay?" Leilah knew what had been going on with Clara, but she didn't know how to ask her about it. She walked to Clara and asked in a low voice full of concern.
"I'm fine." Seeing the worried look on Leilah's face, Clara realized that they hadn't seen each other in a long time. Clara forced a smile and rubbed Leilah's head.
Then, she went on with her work. On the other side, Horace got news from the HR department, saying that Clara had asked to fire Shane. So, there was one more left?
He then asked his men to put some pressure on Shane by sending a message to all the companies in the city- if any of them hired Shane, they would be Horace's enemy. Now that the Solrace Corporation had become one of the top 10 enterprises in the whole country, not many companies would want to have conflicts with it. Moreover, the bigger companies wouldn't even consider Shane as their candidate.
If anyone dared to offend Horace, he would make him regret it. Although Shane was just an accomplice in everything, Horace still thought he had been too merciful to him.
In the following months, Clara was either working in the company or looking for Neo. However, she didn't replace anything. But she didn't give up, because she knew how hard it would be.
"Clara, do you want to have dinner at Logan's place?" Leilah looked at Clara and invited her over for dinner. Although Logan knew how Clara had been, he didn't invite her home because he was worried it might touch a raw nerve of her.
Leilah insisted on having her over for dinner, saying that Clara would feel better and she could talk to Logan and bond with him.
"Okay," Clara nodded and agreed. It had been a long time since she last saw Logan. But as a matter of fact, Logan had visited her several times when she was mentally unstable.
Seeing her like that, Logan felt sorry. But there was nothing he could do. He could only pray that the medicine could take effect soon and Clara could get better soon.
Seeing that Clara had agreed, Leilah was excited and started telling Clara about what had been going on with her and Logan while Clara listened carefully. Although she hadn't been in good mood recently, she liked talking with Leilah, who might become her sister-in-law someday.
After chatting for a while, Leilah checked the time. She thought they should go home early to catch dinner, so the two of them skipped work.
If it was in the past, Leilah wouldn't skip work for no reason, but she thought it was better to be cautious. After all, going home in late hours was dangerous.
Clara knew what she was worried about. When they were about to leave, she left a note on the chief editor's desk about they had to leave early today. She didn't want to be scolded for leaving work without reporting in advance.
"Clara, this is my first-time skipping work. It's exciting!" Leilah had never done this before. Even back in school days, she had never skipped any class.
It was thrilling for her. Seeing the look on her face, Clara couldn't help but laugh. It had been a long time since she last gave a smile.
Looking at the smile on her face, Leilah felt happy, grabbed Clara's hand and kept walking.
"Where are you going?"
Seeing this, Clara asked. Was Leilah trying to keep in step with her or what?
"Oh! I forgot you drove here!" Leilah said with a blush. Then she stared at Clara and waited for her to get the car.
Clara took a look and her, smiled and shook her head. Then she walked to the underground parking lot to get the car. When she arrived, she saw a brand-new ORV parked there and couldn't help walking over. As soon as she saw the note on it, she was surprised. It wrote on the note, "For my dear sister, Clara." Clara was stunned.
It suddenly occurred to her that she once asked Logan to give her a car as a gift. She had forgotten all about it. Logan had kept that in mind?
Therefore, she drove it instead of her own car, which still looked new. Seeing her driving in that brand-new ORV, Leilah remembered. She almost forgot about this. Luckily, Clara found it herself.
"Get in," Clara said, regaining her composure. Leilah somehow felt as if they had gone back to the time when they first met each other and when she had to be careful with her words and not to offend Clara. She found that it was just Clara's disguise and that she was a warm-hearted person inside. But now, it was different, a lot of things had happened recently and they had changed Clara into a different person. They didn't say anything on their way home. Clara hadn't had much words recently, while Leilah was simply worried that her words might upset Clara. Leilah simply stared out of the window at the scenery and thought they could talk after they got home.
Soon, they arrived. Logan had been waiting for them at the door. Seeing that Clara had lost weight, he felt sorry for her, but didn't say anything about it. He wanted to cheer her up instead of making her sad. "Hey! You are driving the car I bought you!" Logan said, looking surprised. He had been worried Clara might reject it, and now, he could be relieved.
