Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister

Chapter 234 The Collaboration

"Why would I get angry?" Clara looked at him in a puzzle.

"It's about Laura." Horace hesitated and said to her.

Hearing Laura's name coming out of Horace's mouth, Clara only felt her heart tighten and her eyes

were full of unease when she looked at Horace. "What's with her?"

Holding her hand tightly, Horace said, "Our company had a design for Elaine before, I never met Elaine

at that time, and I didn't know she was Laura, so I accepted this collaboration.

When the contract was signed at that time, the other party asked to discuss the design proposal

directly with the CEO of Solrace. I thought that the designer made this request to ensure the quality of

her design, so I agreed without much thought.

Now that the contract has been signed, there is no turning back. So maybe in the next period, Laura

and I will have some intersections in work. But Clara, I was afraid that you would be angry when you

found out. I even wanted to hide it from you, but I thought again, it's not a big deal, it's better to talk to

you."

Hearing his words, Clara didn't speak for a long time. She trusted him. If he wanted to do something

with Laura, he wouldn't tell her about it. Besides, Horace is not such a playboy.

But when she was shopping with Laura today, Laura's attitude let her know that she had not forgotten

Horace in her heart. It is very possible that Laura still likes him and wants to be with him again.

"Can't you withdraw the contract?" After a long silence, Clara asked. She did not want them to work

together.

Hearing Clara's words, Horace was a bit shocked.

Clara had never asked him about the company's affairs and she always paid attention to integrity. He

did not expect she asked him to withdraw the contract this time. It seemed that Laura's appearance

had a great impact on her.

Horace patiently explained to her, "If the contract is broken, according to the contract, the company will

compensate a large number of liquidated damages, and the people on the board of directors will not

agree. This design will have a great impact on the company's performance in the next year. Elaine's

previous design plan was outstanding among the competitors, so we chose her. This design plan was

finally determined by all the members of the board of directors through various layers of selection, and I

can't deny it alone. But Clara, this is just a job, I won't be back with her again. Can you trust me?"

Horace asked Clara softly.

Clara couldn't say anything more. She knew that her request for him to break the contract was indeed

too much.

"So, when will you start working together?"

"There'll be a meeting tomorrow to discuss the details of the design."

"Oh, I see." After saying this in a low voice, Clara stopped talking.

Seeing she was obviously unhappy, Horace didn't know what to say to comfort her, so he pulled her

into his arms and patted her on the back lightly.

Clara also knew his helplessness, but she didn't understand why Laura kept appearing in their lives.

That night, Clara tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Turning her head to look at Horace, who was

already asleep, Clara wanted to touch his face, but she was afraid of waking him up, so she withdrew

her hand and just looked at him quietly.

Horace was by her side and she could touch him as soon as she reached out her hand. But would he

always be by her side?

Thinking of how bad she looked when they were standing together today, Clara felt a deep sense of

crisis in her heart. She could not beat Laura in any aspect. Could she really keep Horace?

The next day, Horace got up early and went to work and it was time for Clara to go back to the

magazine as well.

Horace helped her to ask for a week's leave from the magazine because of her foot injury. Now that a

week had passed and her feet are almost healed, it was time to go to work.

But thinking that Horace and Laura would meet, talk, and discuss plans together today, Clara felt a lot

of unease. She was in a trance and she had no intention to work at all. So she called Darren and

wanted to take another day off.

A few days ago, the topic of Laura's "resurrection from the dead" was so hot on the Internet that Darren

guessed that she was in a bad mood. What's more, Horace called a few days ago to say that she was

injured, so he agreed instantly.

"Have a good rest. You don't have to rush to work. Don't take the news online seriously. It's all in the

past. Besides, I think you are much better than Laura and I believe Horace feels the same way, so don't

worry." Darren comforted Clara.

"Well, I know, thank you, Darren." At this time, his affirmation made Clara feel very warm.

"I'll go back to work tomorrow, that's all, um, okay, bye." Darren asked her to take care of herself and

hung up on the phone.

Sitting on the sofa and turning on the TV, she kept changing the channel with the remote control, but

Clara found that she couldn't watch any program. After turning off the TV, she turned around and

walked into Horace's study.

Since she couldn't watch TV, maybe a few books were good. If she didn't do anything, she really

couldn't control her thoughts.

After finding a few magazines in the study, Clara sat in front of the desk and flipped through them. But

she really couldn't read. The words were dangling in front of her eyes but she didn't know what was

written.

So, she put down the magazine, closed her eyes, and took a few deep breaths, telling herself to trust

Horace. Horace said that he didn't have anything with Laura...

Then she opened her eyes and continued to read the magazine in front of her. At this moment, the door

of the study suddenly opened and Clara saw the housekeeper walk in.

"What's wrong?" Horace was afraid that the housekeeper would accidentally mess up the documents

he had sorted out when cleaning, so he always cleaned the study by himself. What is she doing here at

this time? Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Mrs. Kirkland, You're here. That's why I didn't see you in the living room just now." The housekeeper

said with a smile, "Master Horace called just now and said that he forgot to bring a document on the

desk. He asked me to send it to him."
