Finally, they reached the main point, and Claire was excited. However, she still remained calm on the surface and said, "Mr. Bjorn, I know you make clear distinctions between public and private interests. Now, you know there are grudges between David and me. Therefore, I feel that you should handle this matter personally. What do you think?" There was admiration in Hugo's eyes. "Okay. We'll follow your plan. I will deal with this matter." After receiving Hugo's answer, Claire felt he could be trusted and gave him a faint response before saying in gratitude, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Bjorn. I believe you can handle this matter fairly." Her words were indisputable. Hugo looked up at her in shock and retracted his gaze without any further comments. Seeing that her mission was completed, Claire nodded. "Mr. Bjorn, I'll be leaving if there's nothing else. Thank you." Then, she left his office. At the door, Hugo suddenly called out to her. Claire was slightly stunned. "Mr.

Claire went upstairs. Just as she was about to reach her room, she heard a sound behind her. Before she could react, she was pulled into the next room. That room belonged to Javier.After realizing that, Claire didn't feel scared. She only struggled for a while and gave up. She could feel Javier pulling her hand and was scared it would only worsen her injury. When they entered the room, Javier let go of her hand. Claire was about to complain when Javier took her injured hand."What happened?" Javier frowned and asked. Due to the pain, Claire frowned. She couldn't help but pull away. "It hurts. Be gentle—gentler." Sure enough, his grip loosened. However, he didn't plan to let her go and stared at Claire. "Tell me, what happened to your hand?"Under his oppressive gaze, Claire was shocked and knew she couldn't hide anything from him. So, she simply made up an excuse. "I accidentally sprained my wrist today. It's not a big deal. It'll heal after I rest." Claire tried her best to

"Enough. I have my own limits. However, I won't meddle in your affairs with Claire. Don't look for me in the future." Morrow's attitude was weirdly firm. He had made the decision to not care about this matter. David was anxious, but he had no other choice. In the end, he could only leave with an ugly expression. At the same time, he was secretly shocked at how strange Morrow was acting. He had a feeling that Morrow was hiding something from him. Or that he was afraid of someone. A trace of worry appeared on David's face, and he sighed. Morrow couldn't help him now, so he could only hide from the limelight. It was apparent that Claire wasn't easy to deal with if Morrow was afraid to help him. So, he could not act harshly like before.From the day Hugo had taken away David's authority, Claire's work became much easier. Thomas' schedule was also getting busier. Now it was obvious that even with David in the company, Thomas had obtained more opportunities once David had lost his powe

Claire felt Javier's hand still tightly pulling hers and wanted to escape. However, Javier's grip was so strong that she had no strength to compete.Feeling Claire's resistance, Javier was irritated and increased his strength. Right then, the elevator stopped on the middle floor, and it shook. With that, Claire fell into Javier's embrace."Ah!" Claire exclaimed as she couldn't control herself. Next, she felt a warm chest against her body and immediately blushed. Shocked, she wanted to push away, but Javier seemed happy about their intimate position. So, he did not let go of her."Stand still," Javier said to Claire with a teasing hint. When he felt that Claire was still struggling, he hugged her tighter so she couldn't move. Finally, Claire gave up and endured it, thinking that her colleagues were there, and that Javier did it on purpose. The elevator ride was only a few minutes long, but Claire felt like a decade had passed, and she could feel her colleagues' suspicious gazes.

He didn't understand. Was he that scary? Other women wanted to get close to him but never got the chance. In contrast, Claire was in a hurry to avoid him. The more Javier thought, the more irritated he was. Looking at Claire's busy figure in the kitchen, he couldn't control his emotions. In the end, he found a position where he could see Claire in the kitchen, took a newspaper, and read it. However, only Javier knew that his gaze had never strayed from Claire's figure. Claire did not feel Javier's burning gaze from behind. She had been busy cooking even though her thoughts were jumbled. She realized she had thought too simply of her relationship with Javier, so she felt awkward when he was there at the company. She felt uncomfortable when she thought of her colleagues' questioning gazes on her and Javier. Of course, Claire knew Javier's intentions, but how should she respond? After all, Javier was outstanding, and everyone knew that. Thinking of that, she felt even more depress
