Clara stood up to exit the office but the voice ordered her to sit.She made a mistake by not doing thorough research about the company she was applying to.“Mrs. Clara Peters,” Henry called her full name one after the other.A thin line emerged on Clara’s forehead and she realized how much Henry could spill in addition to what happened last night.“Before coming here, I didn't know you were the CEO, now I do, I will get going.” She made sure to avoid eye contact while she spoke to him.“What if I am?” Henry queried her abruptly.“What if I am? What does it change? Does Alex know you have an interview today?”Clara’s eyes blinked the moment Henry pronounced that and Henry smiled knowing he must have gotten her.“Please, do not let Alex know about this. I beg you.” she jammed her hands together and began pleading with him.“What’s all this about?” Henry asked. Clara was so pretty yesterday but now she seemed all troubled and scared. Is her husband not aware of her predicament?Clara kn

“Mum, why are you here?” Alex asked as he stretched himself.“Do I need permission from my son before visiting?”“That’s not what I mean, Mum,” Alex replied and started coming down the remaining stairs. “You know our whole drama and all that. So, what brings you here?”“I came to see how well the woman you choose for yourself is treating you.” Alex’s mum replied sarcastically while eyeing Clara.“Then no cause for alarm, Mum. Her treatment is exceptional.”Mrs. Peters could only make a mocking face.“Since you are here, let's all have dinner together.” Alex declared and they headed to the dining.“So, Clara, what do you do now?” Mrs. Peters, who has not had any bite, asked Clara.Clara almost threw out the bite of food in her mouth. That caught her unaware. “Nothing much Ma, I make sure to take care of the house,” Clara replied, her eyes really twitching, wondering if anyone knew she was telling a lie or why she was asking.“Do you mean you don't leave the house, even today?” Mrs. Pet

“Yes, you both can work together.” Henry began to narrate that since the mistake had been made, they couldn't take one person leaving the other.He went ahead to explain to them how it happened. He thought Clara was not going to show up after her weird behaviors had some signs of indecisiveness in them.So he went ahead and picked Evelyn, she was the most qualified for the job. He had also once mentioned to Clara that they had picked another applicant which Clara very well remembered.“Sir, are you trying to say that I and this bi… would share the work?”“Yes, Evelyn. You and Clara would share that.”“Is this going to affect the pay agreed on initially?” Clara asked. She was more concerned about her duration. According to her first calculation, she would work for Five months to be able to come up with the total amount of money.That was when Henry smiled. “Pay shouldn't be a problem. The company is big enough to double it.” Henry was a little bit sarcastic in his reply but he meant it

Clara went into the restroom. She breathed out, she had been holding that for a long time.Memory loss? That's bullshit. She didn't know why she said all she had said in there but she didn't regret them.No matter what, she would never forget that she was married and whatever Henry said doesn't matter. After soothing herself, she left the bathroom and went back to his office. Henry Brown had already exited, battling within himself if he overreacted or not.His next step was to find Selene, he prayed to control himself because she was going to tell him why she did all that to her sister.After work that day, Clara went home. She was already Considering quitting this job and looking for another, but it wasn't going to be as easy as she thought. The job Henry offered her means so much to her.Alex kept his promise by going over to see his Dad. He had ignored everything that had to do with him this time. “Dad, are you well?”“Do I look well?” Mr. Peters replied with a question.Alex got

After Selene heard everything that her mum had to say, she decided to dodge Henry. She wasn't going to come back home until Henry left their house. So she stayed back where she was. She had just finished meeting with Annie. They have had everything planned out and Selene has been told what to do.Henry, who couldn't wait anymore, stood. He looked at Mrs. Roberts sternly. “I will be back.” and exited their house.Clara’s mind was made up. Her decision was to go the next day and quit her work. When Alex Came home that day, he tried his best to cover up his act by being extra caring and sweet, but Clara had already noticed everything.“Sweet, do you want us to go anywhere during the weekend? Amusement Park? Picnic? Movies? Karaoke? Anywhere at all.”Clara smirked and moved closer to him. She was playing with his shirt buttons, opening and closing it.“You are making this look like a real marriage. Don't bother, I am okay.”At the sound of that, Alex was angered. He didn't like rememberi
