Become the Wife of A CEO

After taking a few deep breaths, Clara told herself, “Horace said that Laura is just someone he loved in the past and he loves you now. You should believe his words and don’t be swayed by others’ words. Have you forgotten what happened last time?”

Clara gradually suppressed the unease and anger in her heart.

Looking at the phone that she had just thrown over the bed, Clara crawled over with difficulty, picked up the phone, and wanted to turn it off, trying to avoid seeing those nonsense again.

As soon as she picked up the phone, she saw a picture that Horace hugging Laura and kissing her forehead lightly with a smile carrying the title of “Second Young Master of the Kirkland family spends a lot of money and celebrates his girlfriend’s birthday romantically”.

Clara read the news. It turned out that on Laura’s birthday, Horace specially booked a restaurant for her.

All the roads to the restaurant were covered with rose petals that day, and pink and bright red rose bouquets could be seen everywhere on the dining table and window sill, and a huge red heart was specially placed in the main hall of the restaurant with 999 roses.

This photo was taken in front of this heart-shaped rose pattern. At that time, it was a sensation for a while, and it was on the entertainment news but she didn’t know who brought it up this day.

Looking at his undisguised affection for Laura in the photo, Clara felt that their smiles were so dazzling and her heart was aching like being pierced by a needle and the pain came one after another.

Had he really forgotten her? Was it possible that her existence really would not affect their lives as he said?

She tried to convince herself to believe his words but she couldn’t give herself a certain answer.

Clara spent the next few days resting at home. Because of her foot injury, Horace didn’t allow her to go to work again and he asked for a short leave from the magazine.

Their life seemed to have returned to their previous calm. Woke up together, washed up together, ate together, and then they went to work. In the night, she cooked his favorite meals at home and waited for him to come back.

Horace never mentioned Laura to her and Clara naturally wouldn’t take the initiative to mention it. They just acted as if this person had never appeared in their lives.

However, Clara always felt a little uneasy in her heart. Had things finally come to an end?

One day, she received a call from Laura and she was a little overwhelmed. Looking at the flashing phone, she didn’t know whether to answer the call.

“Hello.” Clara’s finger finally slid to the answer button.

“Clara, it’s me.” Laura’s sweet voice came over the phone, “I want to go shopping today, do you have time to go with me?”

“I…” Clara didn’t want to go but she couldn’t find an excuse. Besides, she was not good at lying to people. Or she could say her feet are still aching and she could not go shopping.

“By the way, how is your foot? If you’re not well, I’ll go to your house to check on you, okay?” Laura said.

“It’s okay, my feet are already healed.” The home belonged to them and Clara didn’t want Laura to come.

“Okay, you must have been bored these days. Come out and talk with me.” Laura on the other side of the phone warmly invited her.

“Well… OK.” Why couldn’t she learn to refuse?

“Okay, I’ll send you the address later. See you later, bye.” Laura hung up the phone.

Then Clara remembered the clothes Laura picked for herself when she was shopping with her who was still going by the name “Elaine” last time; the blue enchantress she brought to her when she came to the hospital to visit her; and the perfume she gave to her the first time when they were doing an interviewing together…

It seems that every quarrel and conflict between them was caused by Laura, so this time, is she simply asking herself to go shopping? Is there any other purpose?

She could not make sure what Laura wanted to do so she reminded herself to be careful when they meet. It’s not she is a bad person, but after so many things, her intuition told her that she could no longer trust Laura.

Clara got dressed and went out. She took a taxi there. As soon as she got off the car, she saw Laura sitting in the open-air cafe at a glance.

“Clara, this way.” Laura waved to her from a distance.

Walking to the opposite side of her and sitting down, Clara felt a little embarrassed. After going through the previous incident in the cemetery, she didn’t know how to face her.

Laura was calm and she chatted with her with a smile, “Why did you come here by taxi, didn’t Horace bring you here?”

“He was at work.” Clara felt a little uncomfortable when she heard Laura mention him as soon as she opened her mouth.

“Well,” Laura nodded knowingly, “then he should arrange someone to send you off. How can he let you come out alone?”

“It’s okay, I often come out for news. where will we go later?” Clara quickly changed the subject.

Laura also seemed to realize that when she mentioned Horace, Clara’s face was not very good. She asked directly, “Clara, are you concerned about our past?”

Hearing her direct question, Clara hesitated and didn’t know how to answer.

Seeing that Clara didn’t speak, Laura swore and assured, “Don’t worry, I’ll never be a mistress. Since you are married, I won’t intervene.”

“Besides, I am nice and beautiful. I can choose whoever I like in the future.” Laura made a joke. “So don’t worry, although we had a deep relationship, I will not intervene in your marriage. I won’t be so rude.”

“Nice to hear that. It’s best if you think so.” Seeing her sincere look, Clara wondered if she had misunderstood her before. “You will definitely meet better people in the future.”

“Thank you.” Laura smiled, “Okay, let’s not talk about him, we’re going to have a good time today. Where do you want to go, is there any place you want to go?”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’re the boss.”

“Is that so?” Laura thought for a while, “How about the shopping mall where Horace used to go with me?”
