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

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

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

“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

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
