Claire walked quickly towards the door. Her chest felt hot like it was going to explode. When she stood behind the door, Claire took off her shoes. She lifted them with her right hand while her left hand prepared to open the door. As for her cell phone, she clamped it using her shoulder and ear."You'll see I'm going to embarrass you today!"Claire pulled the door handle slowly. When the door opened, she swung her shoe to throw it at the incoming guest."Miss!" shouted a man standing in front of Claire's door. The man closed his eyes while wrapping his hands around his head.Knowing that her guest was not a salesman as usual, Claire put her shoes back on. She stared at the man in front of her, looking at him from head to toe.In her heart, Claire said 'Who is he? He looks classy. It's a good thing I kept my shoes on.'When Claire said that in her heart, from behind the phone Jack asked, "How's it going Claire? Who came to your house? Was it a condom salesman?"Claire then put her cell
Inside his room, Jack was feeling a little anxious. He didn't know what exactly happened at Claire's house until she disconnected the call without explaining anything. Jack talked to himself, "What if the visitor turns out to be a salesman? Is it possible that the salesman has bad intentions towards Claire? All this time he came and offered Claire condoms for no reason. Maybe he's been eyeing Claire for a long time." Jack began to wonder.At the thought of that, Jack's heart became even more uneasy. He looked at the clock on the wall. "There's still time," he said. Even if it wasn't resolved in time, he would cancel his dinner with Matthew.In the end, Jack decided to go to Claire's house instead. He wanted to make sure that his best friend was okay. Jack immediately asked one of his bodyguards to take him to Claire's house. "Quickly go to Claire's house, but drop me off at a place a little far from her house," he ordered with a frown on his forehead."Yes, young master."They rus
Jack hurriedly went to Claire's house which was only a few tens of meters away from where he was standing now. The man's jaw seemed to harden due to the obscurity that made him so tense.Upon arriving in front of Claire's house, Jack stopped his steps. The door of Claire's house was tightly closed. The house also looked very quiet as if there were no occupants. This was definitely strange because Claire spent most of her time babbling. After all, before this he still heard Claire talking excitedly to Uncle Bob.Then where were they now?Jack took another step towards the door of Claire's house. As he stood in front of the door, Jack knocked hurriedly."Claire, open the door! It's me Jack!" Jack spoke in a loud voice.But there was no answer from inside the house. The house was completely deserted!Then Jack knocked on the door once more. "Uncle Bob, are you inside? Open the door, Uncle. Please! It's me Jack."There was still silence.The situation made Jack's previously relieved heart
Claire paused for a moment to stare meaningfully at Jack. But she quickly controlled her feelings. She quickly sat up and pursed her lips."Don't tease me! If your girlfriend who is the manager of the clothing store sees us, she'll think all kinds of things." Claire's voice sounded annoyed.Jack sat up immediately. He brought his face closer to Claire's. "Are you jealous of Audrey?"Claire replied in a raised tone, "Why would I be jealous?!" Claire didn't understand why she couldn't keep her voice from speaking in such a tone. Come to think of it, she could have said it in a normal voice, especially since Jack was sitting nearby. Her voice could easily be heard by Jack, even if she was whispering."Why aren't you jealous?" Jack propped up his chin.Claire giggled as she watched Jack's eyebrows rise and fall. She threw a small pillow at Jack."You never answer questions correctly! At least answer my questions first, instead of asking questions back."Clap!Jack clapped his hands once,
Claire didn't stop talking during the trip. She was very excited. Not only was she happy to be able to take her friend for a drive in a new car, but she was also excited that she would soon know where Jack lived.Claire turned her head briefly to look at Jack's face. As long as he was talking, Jack only gave simple answers. Claire furrowed her brows before refocusing her gaze forward."Jack, why do you look worried?"Jack gasped. He grimaced while showing his row of white and clean teeth. "Really? Um, maybe I'm just tired. It's been a long day." He smiled silly remembering what he had done while worrying about Claire."Are you sure you're not hiding something from me?""That's too hard to do. Even if I speak silently, you'll probably hear it."Claire chuckled. She nodded before asking, "So, where do you live now? You haven't told me either. I can't go there if you don't mention the address. There will be an intersection soon, should I go straight, turn right, or go left?""Um, that's.
The smile on Matthew's face vanished like dust swept away by the wind. His breathing became labored after the young master mentioned Donald Pasmod's name. His heart, which had been warmed by Jack and Claire's sweet story of friendship, suddenly became anxious."What's wrong Matthew?" asked Jack who saw the change in his subordinate's expression."Young Master," Matthew paused to take a breath. His breathing was heavy. There was no denying that he feared for Jack's safety every time Donald Pasmod's name was mentioned.What Matthew felt was natural; he understood how dangerous Donald Pasmod was. And Matthew certainly didn't want anything bad to happen to his master.More than that, Matthew knew very well that Tom Roodenburg's happiness was complete with the presence of Jack who was finally found after decades of searching. He couldn't imagine that something untoward would diminish the old man's happiness.Jack remained silent, waiting for Matthew to continue. However, it was not Matthew
A Rolls-Royce Phantom entered the courtyard of the Big Roodgroup building. The luxury car attracted the attention of passers-by, and Sophie Parker was no exception."Who is that coming? Why are the guards and staff standing in front of the main door to greet him?" Sophie asked herself as there was no one beside her.Sophie had just exited the Big Roodgroup parking lot when she saw a luxury car enter the building. The car didn't stop in the parking lot, but stopped parallel to the main entrance of the building.Sophie had come to the big company where her ex-boyfriend worked for no reason. She was there for a job interview.Ever since Sophie had been fired from BlueLux Hotel, she had been having trouble finding a job. That's because news of the reason for her dismissal was circulating among the other company officials. Sophie didn't know how it happened, but she kept getting rejections from all the places she applied to, even from small companies.Sophie was surprised because she didn'
Sophie stared at Jack almost unblinkingly as her ex stepped out of the elevator."Sophie." Jack tried to pull his lips back.Slowly a smile also appeared on Sophie's face. Actually, she was too surprised. Apart from the fact that she hadn't expected Jack's appearance at all, Jack appeared with a completely different appearance.Jack looked charming in his suit. He was also wearing shiny black loafers. Jack's appearance was made even more perfect by the classy watch on his hand. Sophie's careful eyes confirmed that everything Jack was wearing was branded and authentic.'How can Jack wear all that? Where did he get those things?'Although she wondered this, her perspective on Jack was different. In the past, Sophie would have thought that Jack was stealing, cheating, or doing other bad things. But now, she was sure that no matter where Jack got those things from, it couldn't have been in a bad way."I-I have a job interview. Um, I applied for a job here. What are you doing at Big Roodgr
