Chapter 101 I Will Take Care of You

When Claire got home at night, she was in a sour mood because Esret Skin still hadn’t contacted her.Seeing the former’s grim expression, Ollie set aside his homework and ran toward her while pouting. “What’s wrong, Mommy? Are you sad?”That slightly improved Claire’s mood, and she circled her arms around Ollie while forcing a smile. “I’m okay, Ollie. I was merely worrying about work. Don’t worry.”“There, there, Mommy. You won’t have to work so hard when I grow up. I promise I’ll take care of you!” Ollie assured as though he were an adult, his chest puffing with determination. A wave of joy washed over Claire just then. She hugged him tighter and pecked every inch of his face, grateful to have a loving son like Ollie.“Indeed, Madam,” Patty chimed in while giggling. “You shouldn’t overwork yourself. It doesn’t hurt to have Sir look after you, you know?”That was when Javier descended the stairs and heard the conversation. Yet, he glanced blankly at Claire, not a word coming from his

Chapter 102 Piece of Shit

The next day, Claire received a call from Esret Skin’s representative. She had just woken up but immediately became energized when she saw who had called her. Pretending to be calm, she asked, “Hi, is something the matter?”The person on the call didn’t beat around the bush. He immediately explained, “We’re hoping to hire Thomas as our brand ambassador for this season. Please let us know if he’s willing and if his schedule allows it.”A moment passed as Claire suppressed the excitement bubbling in her chest. Then, she replied with a level tone, “I see. I’ve just checked Thomas’ schedule, and he’s open to participating in your endorsement deal.”“Great. If you have questions, please drop by our office with Thomas this afternoon. We look forward to working with you.” With that, the representative hung up, leaving Claire with a broad, toothy grin. She sat on the bed and suddenly thought about the party Javier mentioned last night. Claire knew she had to attend it since she didn’t have ma

Chapter 103 In His Embrace

The other employees returned to work once David left. Only Thomas, Claire, and Raina remained in the training room by then. That was when Raina snapped out of her daze, ran toward Claire, and gave the latter a thumbs up. “You’re amazing, Claire! That’s the most gallant and dashing thing anyone has ever done. I’d fall for you big time if I were a man!”Raina had a lively temper, so she chattered away and even imitated Claire’s actions from earlier, arrogantly saying, “You have no choice but to suck it up even if you’re unhappy with this outcome!”The former’s enthusiasm amused Claire, whose features softened as she put on a pretend frown to nag, “That’s enough, now. Come on, you should take Thomas to get his injuries tended.”Only then did Raina recall Thomas got punched twice by Nicholas earlier. It was because she happened to be in the way that Thomas rushed to her rescue, getting struck in the end. Not wanting to delay anymore, Raina hurriedly got a medical kit and asked someone expe

Chapter 104 You Chose Me

Claire knew David would never accept defeat that easily. Confidence gleamed in her eyes as she thought, “He doesn’t scare me. So what if he tries to get revenge? He can come at me because I’ll be ready for his attacks. No one frightens me, Claire Weiss—and I certainly won’t go easy on a twisted scumbag like him!”That afternoon, she got Thomas to tidy himself up before visiting the head director of Esret Skin. Once they arrived at the company, Claire briefly explained the hiring situation and endorsement details to Thomas. Soon, Henry, the secretary, led the two to the head director’s office upstairs. He knocked on the door and informed, “Ms. Zachman, Thomas Bjorn, and his manager have arrived.”“Send them in.” With that, Jayda set her work aside and looked up at her two visitors.“It’s nice to meet you. That’s Thomas, and I’m Claire, his manager,” Claire greeted while flashing a polite smile as one should toward an influential figure. Before she arrived, she had already researched th

Chapter 105 Impressive

Now they had settled things, the plan was to discuss hiring fees and photoshoot details. The three quickly got to work, and before signing the contract, Jayda requested Thomas to do some trial shots with their photographer. Claire and Thomas complied at once.Time flew by. Eventually, they wrapped up their discussion, and Claire shot a look at Thomas, hinting to him, “Give them your best performance. I’m rooting for you!” To that, Thomas no longer felt anxious. He nodded at her as though saying, “Got it, Claire. I’ll do my best!”The trio soon arrived at the studio, where many employees prepared the equipment and got ready to watch Thomas do the shoot. Some were also Esret Skin’s executives that didn’t root for him during the company meeting. Many were still bitter about losing their choice of male stars to Thomas, so they waited at the studio, hoping to see him fail. Yet, once the cameras started snapping away, Thomas erupted with confidence. That enhanced his already perfect looks,

The party had started, and many guests were already there. Some exchanged casual conversations in pairs or trios. Handsome and beautiful individuals filled the space, catching the eyes of the other guests.However, once Javier and Claire strolled into the party arms in arms, everyone fell into a stupor. Their interested gazes locked onto the gorgeous couple, first staring at Javier before settling on Claire. They noticed Javier wore a tailored suit to fit his muscular body well. Standing next to him was Claire in a lilac cocktail dress. Strands of her hair fell perfectly, framing the sides of her face and highlighting her delicate features in a beguiling manner. To compliment that, she wore mascara that made her lashes more noticeable but not too heavy or clumpy. Everything about her seemed to move in slow motion as she elegantly looked around the room. Seeing the two together made everyone stifle a gasp as they felt the couple were a match made in heaven.Annoyance sparked in Javier w

Chapter 107 Spilled His Wine

Seeing an awkwardly shifting Claire, Javier met her gaze and asked, “Aren’t you coming?”Claire nodded, her feet picking up the pace to follow behind Javier.Hattie was about to ask what was so critical that Javier needed to deal with, but he left with Claire before she could. Standing alone, she frowned as they departed arm in arm, wondering, “The more I look at those two, the more I feel they’re closer than they claim to be.” Shawn couldn’t stand seeing the former so miserable, so he tried cheering her up. “Come on, Hattie. Why don’t we go and enjoy some wine—”“No, thank you. You can go alone.” After saying that, Hattie marched off angrily, leaving Shawn behind.A bitter chuckle came from Shawn as his shoulders slumped. Even his eyes dulled with a hurtful look. In the end, he picked up a wine glass and downed its contents in one sip.…When Javier mentioned he had something to do, he meant helping Claire connect with other influential figures. He led her to speak with several guest

Chapter 108 A Married Woman

“I see, so you’re Thomas’ manager. You’re as great at your job as the rumors say,” Carlyle exclaimed, admiration pouring from his eyes. That was because he had heard about Claire trending online for her gender bend photoshoot. Her and Thomas’ photos became the talk of the town for some time, so anyone who mentioned Thomas’ name would naturally know about Claire. Claire never imagined she would gain some fame in her life. If she hadn’t heard it from Carlyle, she wouldn’t have believed others saw her as a famous figure online. Feeling slightly awkward, she waved him off, saying, “People are exaggerating. I’m not that great.”Carlyle begged to differ, his eyes meeting hers with the utmost sincerity. “I think you’re too humble. Despite your young age, you resuscitated Thomas’ reputation from the dead. Not anyone can do that. I mean it—you’re incredible.”Thomas’ words didn’t sound like empty brags or flattery; rather, he spoke from his heart. Thus, Claire could only accept his compliments

Chapter 109 The Bathroom Incident

Shawn poured himself another glass of wine. He indulged in its fragrance that lingered between his lips, staining his teeth. Before he knew it, he had drunk too much and could no longer see clearly. Even the sight of Javier and Claire became blurry figures in his eyes. A chuckle came from his lips at the thought of them smiling at each other earlier. At the same time, he mused, “How funny. Javier will never see Hattie as worthy of him, yet he’s happy to settle for Claire.”…As the party gradually ended, several of the guests began leaving. Javier noticed how tired Claire looked, so he took her home before it got later. By then, Claire felt so tired she sank her back against the car seat and slept.Soon enough, they arrived outside Javier’s villa. Seeing Claire still lounging in the car, Javier couldn’t help smiling and raising a brow while he asked, “Well? Aren’t you getting out? Or do you want me to carry you home?”Upon hearing that, Claire forced her eyes to open. Despite her ble

Chapter 110 Teasing

Javier finished bandaging Claire’s wounds quickly. Just as he was finishing up, Patty came in with two glasses of warm milk and set the glasses in front of them.“It’s late. Have some milk and get to bed early,” she said warmly. When neither of them moved, she added to Javier, “Sir, I’ve seen a lot of things in my life. I hope you don’t think I’m sticking my nose into your affairs, but I think it’s better if you guys keep your bedroom activities in the bedroom. Ollie is old enough to understand, after all.” Then, she turned to Claire and said, “Madam, it’s cold tonight. Keep your clothes on.”Claire nodded awkwardly. She wished that the ground could open up and swallow her whole. Patty had clearly misunderstood what they were doing. She glared at Javier. “This is all your fault. I’m so embarrassed!”She didn’t know how she would face Patty or anyone else for that matter. This was so embarrassing!Javier gave her an exasperated look. “What is there to be embarrassed about? You’re my wi
