Alle Kapitel von The Arrogant Love: Kapitel 101 – Kapitel 110

The ring on Clara’s left ring finger and her brand-new iPhone became the talk of the entire department; it was clear they were not cheap. It was fortunate she hadn't worn her new clothes or carried the luxury brand bag; otherwise, the rumors would have surely spiraled out of control.“Can I see the ring, Clara?” Poppy stared at the ring for a while before asking directly.“Of course, Poppy.” Clara quickly pulled the ring off and handed it to her friend.Poppy took the ring and turned it over. Upon seeing the engraved letters, her heart went completely numb.“Thor bought this for you, didn't he?” Poppy said, handing it back. Her expression had no sign of emotion—neither joy nor resentment.“Mm-hmm.” Clara slipped the ring back onto her finger, failing to notice the slight shift in her friend’s demeanor."That means he must see you as quite important, Clara—to go as far as engraving both his and your initials on the ring like that.""It's not like that, Poppy. He just wants to 'ma

“I’m sorry, Poppy, for not telling you from the start. It’s actually because he’s someone we know so I really couldn’t say anything.”“It’s okay, Clara. Look, Sara and the others are coming back,” Poppy said, quickly nudging her friend to stop her from saying anything further.​“Hey, you two! Weren’t you just at the buffet? Why are your plates still empty?” Sara asked, looking puzzled at the lack of food on their table.​“We’ll go back in a bit, Sara. It’s too crowded right now, and we didn’t want to fight the rush,” Poppy improvised, reaching for a quick excuse.​“Oh, that makes sense. Look at those two, wandering around and flirting with every girl in the room. Do they really think they’re that handsome? Oh, here they come!” Sara remarked as the two men she was mocking strolled over, acting all cool, ready to launch into a long-winded conversation.​Meanwhile, back at the executive table, Lily had caught onto the two men’s suspicious behavior immediately. Both Trey and Paul coul

The person on the other end of the line was momentarily speechless, as what she said was undeniably true. Having Paul drive her home was certainly better than letting her stand around waiting for a taxi on the street late at night. It was his own fault for being unable to break away from the group of executives and for being unable to ask anyone else to take her back to the condominium.​“Are you staying over tonight, Mr. Smith?” she asked, following up when he remained silent for a moment.​“No, I don't think I’ll be coming over. I have to join some executives for an after-party. It’ll likely be very late by the time we’re finished, so I think it’s better if I just head home to sleep.” He spoke with a hint of regret, unable to abandon his duties to go to her.​“Are you worried about me, Clara?” A soft smile spread across Trey’s face. How long had it been since someone had cared for him like this?​“Of course I am.” While she claimed to be worried, she was actually covering her mou

The older woman could only accept the situation. If Clara had told Poppy herself, it meant that Poppy was someone who could be trusted.​“And what about Clara, Poppy? Is it really okay to leave her out there?” Chloe asked, craning her neck to look out at her daughter, who was stuck between the two young men.​“Those two won't do anything to Clara. Mr. Thomas is just teasing Mr. Smith, while Mr. Smith is likely just acting out of jealousy. By the way, what fruit are you preparing, Auntie? Let me help.”​“Is that so, Poppy? In that case, come help me slice this dragon fruit.” The two of them focused on preparing the fruit, leaving the three outside to continue their psychological warfare, knowing full well that nothing truly serious was going to happen.​As for the two men outside, they were locked in a staring contest, neither willing to back down. Clara wanted to blurt everything out, but Paul’s eyes flashed a silent warning for her to stay quiet.​‘Mr. Thomas, what exactly are yo

Three days after the chaotic birthday party, Clara’s headache returned when Paul showed up unannounced at her condominium in the evening after work.​“Come down and open the door for me right now, Clara,” Paul told Clara over the phone, demanding she let him in.​“If Mr. Smith finds out, I’ll be in serious trouble.”​“Let him burst with rage for all I care. I have something to talk to you about. It won't take long.”​“I can come down and talk to you downstairs.”​“No. Too many people are walking around. Come down and open the door for me this instant. He isn't coming to see you today.”​She hesitated for a moment before agreeing and heading down to open the door and bring him up to her room. If Trey found out about this, she would definitely be in major trouble. Paul walked around, scouting the area, even going as far as looking into the bedroom.​“What are you doing? Why are you looking in the bedroom?”​“He has you living in a rat hole like this, and you still put up with him
