Chapter 41

Clara's POV

"I hope he doesn't come today, just as he didn't show up yesterday." She let out a sigh.

Ivy leaned back against her locker and began browsing her Instagram account. By now, she must have understood I was a lost cause.

As fate would have it, Marcus entered the space. This man is following me, I promise.

"For what reason are you two still here? You must do it." Marcus cried out.

Ivy sighed, and we left the room to return to our stations.

Marcus had officially said yesterday that because Derek would be spending a lot more time here, I would be the one responsible for cleaning his apartment. He just needed to choose me out of everyone. If anything, I now have more work to do
