Claire felt that this was ridiculous. “It’s normal for you to ask me to send documents. There was nothing wrong with it. Naturally, I can’t talk about forgiveness.”
L

ea was dumbfounded. What… what was she supposed to say? Did she have to say that she had been wanting to see claire get humiliated and make a fool of herself,
and so she had set her up to deliver the document?

“But I… I made you lose face in front of everyone, and even dan…”
“That’s what they did. It had nothing to do with you, right?”
“It had something to do with me! Lea shouted in her heart. This was the first time in her life that she desperately wanted to take responsibility for something. But the words wouldn’t come.

“Well, if there is nothing else, I still have to work claire said, ignoring the bitter look on lea's face. She went around lea and walked to the other side of the road to sweep the ground.

Although claire did not know why lea had come to her today, she did not intend to forgive her for what had happened that day.

Just as claire was sweeping, a figure suddenly appeared in front of her. She looked up to see that it was ryan from the fleet.

Ryan's face was slightly red, and he said with great courage claire, anna said that you don’t want to be in love now, but… but… I’m sincere. I’m willing to wait for you. When… when you do want to be in a relationship, you can look for me.”

After saying this, he seemed to feel that something was amiss. He quickly corrected himself and said, “It’s not that you can look for me, but that I can line up and wait for you…”claire stared at him in a daze. “You can find someone more suitable for you. I am just a street sweeper. I don’t earn much, and my job has no future. I am not good wife material.”
“But I like you.” After saying this ryan face seemed to turn redder. Anna said that you don’t have a boyfriend now. I will wait.”

“But I…” She just wanted to refuse again, but when she saw his flushed face and somewhat nervous expression, she was a little stunned. At least this man, at this moment, seemed to be sincere to her, and as anna had told her, he was an honest person.
Such a man, generally speaking, would be a good husband and a good father.
But… if this man knew that she had been in prison, he would probably stay far away from her.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded behind her. “Sister, won’t you introduce us?”claire turned around and saw a familiar figure walking towards her. The black down jacket, black trousers, and sneakers were all from discount stores, but on him, they looked stylishly good. However, his expression was a bit more, she wasn’t sure, but predatory came to mind. He didn’t outwardly reflect any anger, but something told claire that isaac  wasn’t nearly as calm as he appeared.
Of course,” she replied automatically. “This is my colleague.
Isaac  why are you here?” she asked.
“I finished work early today, so I came to see you,” isaac said as he held claire’s left hand, he rubbed his palms over hers. “Your hand is a little cold.”

“It’s okay.” Working in the chilly winter, her hands would be blown by the harsh wind. Obviously, they would get cold, but she was used to it. She didn’t wear gloves most of the time because they made it harder to work.
However, isaac  held her hands with both of his, warming them. up gently. He rubbed them with one hand and then changed over to the other.
Ryan stared at the intimate interaction between isaac and claire, his frown deepening. He could not help but ask claire, is this… your brother?”

“Yes.” claire nodded.
Isaac  glanced at ryan and lazily put his hands around her waist. “When do you finish work?” he asked her.

“In half an hour. I’ll be done after sweeping this road, claire said.

“Alright.” isaac smiled. “I’ll wait for you.”
He glanced at ryan. “You should let her finish,” he said. “Have a good day.”

Seeing that calire was trying to finish her work for the day ryan shook his head. “Excuse me. You’re right. I’ll go since you’re busy.”

Watching ryan leave, isaac suddenly grabbed claire’s chin with his fingers and half-forced her to face him straight. “I don’t like you seeing other men like this. He doesn’t look trustworthy.”
Claire burst out laughing. “What are you thinking? I don’t have any intentions towards him.”

“Does that mean he doesn’t have those kinds of feelings towards you?” he asked back
She was at a loss for words.
“Is he the colleague who likes you?” he asked.
“Yes, I’ve already asked my friend anna to help discourage him. He’s a nice guy, and he means well. I’m just not looking to get into a relationship. I didn’t expect him to approach me today.”

“If you don’t like him, you should refuse him directly,”isaac said. “He’s not worthy of you.”

Claire laughed. “You probably think too much of me. It is me that’s not good enough for him. He has a house, a car, and a steady job. In our workplace, many girls like him.”
“You are worth much more than that,” he said quietly.
In his tone, there was a desire for possession that he had not even noticed.
After calire cleaned the road and was preparing to pack up tools to return to the Sanitation Service Center lea suddenly rushed up from the side of the building and said to claire, “Can you please forgive me? I really can’t lose this current job. This job is very important to me! I beg you, tell our director that you forgive me and ask him to cancel the order for dismissal, okay?”

After thinking about it for a while lea still felt that claire was most likely the one that she had offended.
Claire shook her head. “You’re mistaken. I have no power here. I’m not sure what you did or why you’re being let go, but it has nothing to do with me. I have no connections with your director either.”

“That’s impossible!” lea said anxiously. “You’re the only one I’ve ever offended. Could it be that hendrix saw you like that and couldn’t bear it, and so he avenged you? Is that why I was condemned?”

Thinking it over, there was only this possibility.

Only now did claire finally understand the reason for lea coming to her and begging her for forgiveness. Lea, you’re chasing shadows hendrix … he has no regard for me He has not forgiven me, and I can assure you, he’d not exert his influence to lift a finger for me!”
“You need to fix this,” lea argued.
