MY GORGEOUS WIFE IS AN EX-CONVICT

Part 25 Continue

After the inspection from the Urban Management Bureau ended lea told claire “We’re having a reunion with our high school classmates this weekend. Come and join us.”

“A gathering?” claire laughed. Given her current condition, she would be mocked if she were to go. No doubt, that was exactly what Mia intended. “You’re so kind to think of me,” she said.

“But, no. I’m not free, and I won’t be going.”

“Oh come on claire These events are impossible to pull together. It’s a rarity. What is it you’re busy with? Come and join us!”lea  tried to persuade her.

Did lea think that claire was born yesterday?

This woman had been rude, spiteful, and petty. She could just imagine how a ‘reunion’ would play out-with lea no doubt, telling everyone how claire, former beauty and valedictorian, lost it all, went to jail, and was currently working in Sanitation.

Nope. Not happening.

“I need to work over the weekend. Do you really think that weekends would be rest days for me given the scope of my job?” claire asked.
Lea  was speechless when she heard that. Indeed, she had forgotten.

“However…”

“I’m clearing the rubbish. Let’s talk another time.” Before Mia could finish her statement claire turned to leave.

She was not stupid. And, seriously lea was so obvious.

It’s okay. You’re okay.

Tomorrow is a new day.

Claire repeated her mantra and pushed the negative thoughts from her mind. She couldn’t control the mean or shallow people around her, but she could control herself. And she could choose to meet experience with positivity.

Two days later, the Vice Director instructed her to send a document over to someone from the Urban Management Bureau, only problem was it was the weekend, and the Management Bureau representatives were at a country club luncheon.

Ordinary sanitation workers were not allowed to enter such a place, and more than one employee at the prestigious club tried to intercept her as she entered the lobby.
Claire caught the odd stares of other wealthy people, their looks saying clearly, ‘what is SHE doing in here!?’ Like she was some other species or something.

Claire had been to this particular club many times before for

dinners and charity events lewis belonged to this particular country club.

One of the staff nodded to her. “We’re expecting you,” he said.

“Follow me.”

“Sure.”

The sooner she could hand off this paperwork, the better.

Then she could leave.

The staff member led her down one hallway and into another. Then he opened the door to a ballroom. Many people were inside.

When claire stepped in, she heard a familiar voice, saying, “Look who’s here!”

Claire saw lea hoston and lucy, and some of her high school classmates.

“There you are claire!”lea called out loudly.
Claire knew immediately that lea had deliberately made this arrangement. As she was from the Urban Management Bureau, the supervisors would be eager to get on her good side. As long as Mia wanted a document and specified the person she wanted to bring it to her, the Vice Director would accede to her request.

“See! I didn’t lie to you. The prettiest girl in our class has become a sanitation worker!” lucy said, looking snobbish.

Claire's uniform completely stood out from the classy attire of the rest of the people in the private room.
