She left right away.” Mia told Claire who had just stepped into the house.Claire and Alex had just arrived home after returning home.Hearing that Emma had visited the house while Claire and Alex were away, made Claire's eyebrows knit together. Alex was still outside because he had something to talk about with his driver. Probably telling his driver to service some of the cars in his garage.“Grandmother came here?”“Yes, ma'am. Mrs. Emma just gave me some grocery bags. She said they were for you. I put all the shopping bags in the room. After giving them to her, Mrs. Emma left. She came here with her driver.”Grocery bag? Did Alex's grandmother buy her something?Claire thanked her. Afterward, she immediately stepped upstairs.Arriving at the door, Claire's hand moved to open the door and she saw two medium-sized grocery bags already on her bed.“What did you buy for me?” this time it was really Emma who bought it for
After returning from the party, Claire decided to take a shower.After the shower, Claire turned off the shower and was about to grab a towel. But then Claire was surprised when there wasn't a single towel in the bathroom.“Where are the towels? I remember there were some towels hanging here!” Claire muttered in panic.Then she bit her lower lip. Claire was confused because at the moment her body was naked and not covered by anything.While there was not a single towel that she could use to cover her body in front of Alex.Of course Claire had to get out of this bathroom if she wanted to put on her clothes that were in the closet.“There's no other way, I have to ask Alex for help,” Claire muttered.Now Claire stood by the bathroom door, slowly opening it just enough to allow her to speak to Alex.Yes! Claire was sure Alex was still in the room.Claire's guess was right. He was indeed still there, sitting on the edge of the bed and waiting for her while playing with his cell phone.Al
After wiping the chocolate jam on Claire's lips, Alex was even tempted by the woman's luscious lips. But of course, Alex immediately shook off his wild thoughts and sat back upright in his chair.Given that they were currently in a public space, Alex couldn't possibly kiss Claire carelessly.“Thank you,” Claire said. Her face flushed.“You're welcome, dear,” Alex replied. He straightened his slightly rumpled suit and chose to look the other way.Gwen came over to Alex and tapped him lightly on the shoulder. Gwen seemed to be inviting Alex to have a one-on-one chat.“Claire! Can I borrow your husband for a moment? Don't worry, I'll return him to you in one piece!” Gwen asked Claire for permission while interspersed with jokes.Claire smiled, nodding her head. “Sure, go ahead.”Afterward, Gwen and Alex left leaving Claire alone sitting behind the banquet table.Claire smacked her li
If only Claire knew that Shannon had put the lingerie in a papper bag, Claire would have prevented it.But now everything was already done.“It won't be possible to sell this lingeri back to that store either, right? So... never mind. Who knows if this will be used by someone,” Claire said, putting the lingeri back into the cupboard and closing the cupboard tightly.Claire lay on the bed shuddering in horror as she imagined herself wearing the lingerie in front of Alex.Meanwhile, inside the study in his house, Alex put his wallet and cell phone on the desk.It turned out to be a little tiring after walking around the mall after returning from work.Removing the suit and tie that had been strangling his neck, Alex could breathe a little easier. Then he opened his wallet to throw the receipt into the trash.However, just as he was about to throw the receipt away, Alex's movement was halted when his eyes noticed something st
Shannon, who saw the surprised look on Claire's face, smiled. “The model is like that, ma'am. It's called a lingeri dress. And the panties are deliberately left with holes in them to make it easier for my husband to fight,” Shannon replied.When Claire heard that, her brain immediately started traveling. She imagined how she would wear the lingeri in front of Alex and he would stare at her with a passionate gaze.But then, Claire immediately shook her head. Trying to dismiss all her insane thoughts.“Not so! That's enough! I don't want to see it anymore!” Claire quickly lowered the mannequin's skirt so that she could no longer see the mannequin's panties with a hole in the middle. It was unimaginable that Claire was wearing those panties.“You don't want to see the top too, ma'am?” asked Shannon.“What's wrong with the top?” asked Claire, her face looking innocent.Earlier Claire had said she didn't want to see the nightgown anymore. But now she asked Shannon.“There's also a hole in
At lunchtime inside the CEO's office, Alex and Claire were already sitting side by side on the long sofa located in the corner of the room.In front of them was what appeared to be a delicious meal. There were also two glasses of water.“Hurry up and eat, dear! You won't be full if you just stare at the food,” Alex said to Claire who was just quietly watching the food in front of her.Meanwhile, Alex himself had already devoured his food.While Claire was chewing with a mouth full of food, Alex secretly glanced at Claire, then the corner of his lips pulled up, showing a smile.Alex was actually very happy to be having lunch at the office with his wife.“Tomorrow night my coworker is getting engaged. He's invited us to the event.” Alex said as there was only half of the food on his plate left.“What time is it?” Claire asked while glancing at Alex with her mouth full.“Seven o'clock at night,” Alex replied.Hearing that, Claire nodded her head. Meanwhile, Alex returned his attention to
“You had a meeting. I know it must be very tiring today.” Claire walked over to Alex's desk. Alex had already sat behind his desk and rested his back against the back of the chair.While Claire stood opposite him.“So why did you come to the office, dear?” Instead of answering Claire's words just now, Alex changed the subject and threw a question that he had previously asked his wife.Claire exhaled softly.“Alex, I am your wife. So I can come to the office to see my husband. I cooked a special meal for you,” Claire said, as she placed the tray of food she had brought onto Alex's desk.It raised one of Alex's eyebrows, but then his lips broke into a smile. “Claire, you shouldn't have to do this. But, thank you very much.” Alex's face lit up as he accepted the box of food from his wife.“Today I deliberately brought lunch for my husband. You should know that I cooked it with love, and for sure... it will taste much better than the food in a five-star restaurant,” Claire said with a swe
Claire had just gotten off the taxi that stopped in front of the lobby of Golden Era Enterprise, Alex's company.Carrying her lunch, Claire stepped casually into the company.“Excuse me, Mrs. Knight. Would you like to see Mr. Knight?” asked Vita-a receptionist at the office-to Claire.Most of the people in Golden Era knew that Claire was the wife of their boss.“Yes, I would like to see Mr. Knight. He's in his room, right?”Vita nodded. “Mr. Knight is in a meeting. But you can wait in his room,” Vita said as she smiled kindly at Claire.Hearing that, Claire smiled and immediately stepped into the elevator after she thanked Vita.Claire entered the elevator that would take her to the floor where the CEO's room was located.When the elevator stopped, Claire got out and walked towards the CEO's room.But a slender woman suddenly prevented Claire as she was about to enter her husband's room.“Sorry, ma'am. You can't come in!” said the woman who was none other than Chloe-a new employee who
"Really, I don't know who the woman you're referring to is․ But the night we met at the restaurant, I was helping a female employee who works at Golden Era, but I really don't have any relationship with that woman other than just boss and employee․ Please believe me, Claire"Claire was silent looking at her husband's face․ Deep down she still felt that the woman was trying to create a misunderstanding between her and her husband․"I've been looking for you for a long time. The day I heard from grandma and grandpa that you didn't want to see me, I felt like my world was shattered. I've been looking for you everywhere. I thought forever I would never see you and our future baby again. But finally Vincent was able to help me get information about your whereabouts, so I could see you again." Alex took Claire's hand and kissed the back of her hand.Claire's heart was truly touched by every word and the warm look in Alex's eyes.Although in her small heart Claire felt disappointed because
"Miss Claire, your mother's condition is getting worse. She must undergo chemotherapy as soon as possible. And... I must remind you to pay the outstanding hospital bills immediately." Hearing about the medical bills, Claire immediately turned to stare at her mother's face as she lay on the hospital bed. "How much of the bill do I have to pay?""80 thousand dollars. Not including the chemotherapy."Claire sighed."Okay. I'll pay the bill right away, but please give me some time," Claire begged.Although she didn't know where she was going to get that kind of money.In fact, Claire already had $50,000 in savings. But the money had been borrowed from Noah - her boyfriend - who claimed to be in need at the time. Noah also promised to pay it back when he inherited his father's company. And Claire really believed in her boyfriend.But the thing is, Claire needs the money now.
