Lewis didn’t sleep well all night as the scene he saw at the intersection the day before kept replaying in his mind.
Surely, he had been mistaken, or perhaps the person standing beside claire was someone who looked similar to isaac Of course, that was it. Wasn’t it said that everyone had a doppelganger out there somewhere?After all, how could a man like isaac who was so high and mighty, be with claire?
Furthermore,Claire was the person who had killed isaac’s fiancee. So in what world would Jason Reed ever find himself with the woman who murdered his true love?
No one would have believed him even if he were to say this out loud.
However, there was still uneasiness in his heart.
What if it was true? What if that man really was isaac He didn’t even dare to continue imagining.
The next day lewis came to the street, which claire was cleaning.
He parked his car. Got out and approached her. He had to know for sure.
“Are you… with any man right now? Lewis asked politely. Well, his tone was polite, but his question was quite pointed.
Claire was stunned. She hadn’t expected hendrix to appear in front of her early in the morning and ask her such a question.
“That doesn’t seem to have anything to do with you, Mr. Mayer.
she said. “I’m working right now, please get out of the way.”
She continued to clean the road as if he was invisible.
Lewis's expression turned cold. Who did she think she was, to ignore him!?He grabbed claire’s hand and said, “I’m not joking with you. Who was the man with you yesterday?”
Claire frowned. Was lewis asking about… isaac ? Regardless of why or how he’d seen her, she didn’t owe this man an answer. She didn’t owe him anything.
“Mr. Mayer why are you meddling with other people’s business? Do I have to report to you whenever I am with my little brother?”
“Little brother? Since when do you have a little brother?” lewis asked. He only knew that she had a younger sister.
Claire didn’t intend to reveal too much. But she knew Sean. He was like a lion with its prey. He wouldn’t relent.
“I took him in as my younger brother, can’t I do that?” she asked.
Lewis stared at claire as if he wanted to check whether she was lying from her expression.
At this moment anna who was sweeping the floor on the other side of the road, saw the commotion and ran over. “Mr. Mayers,
please calm down. Don’t use violence.”
Anna recognized that lewis was the person who had accompanied Audrey when she had apologized at the Sanitation Service Center. According to the workers there,lewis was claires ex-boyfriend.“Mister mayers, if you don’t let go, aren’t you afraid that someone will take a photo of you? If that happens, you will have to explain yourself to Miss beckette. Claire said.
Lewis face changed. In the end, he let go of her hand and left.Anna looked at claire worriedly and said, “Why did that person come to find you?”
“Who knows what he was going to do? I’m alright! Claire said.
She didn’t think that the reason lewis had asked which man she was with was that he still had feelings for her.
However, it was indeed very abnormal. God knows what Sean was thinking!
Goodness, couldn’t she be left alone!?
She realized she might need to leave this city-the country— entirely if she wanted any rest.
“By the way,” anna said, she glanced away as though not wanting to look claire in the eyes for what she had to say next, “… you should go to the director and ask for mercy when you take a break at noon. I heard that stella has been collecting signatures to make the director fire you anna winced as she relayed the bad news she had heard.
Claire frowned.It seemed that stella was sparing no efforts to punish her, but… “If the director really wants to dismiss me, asking him will be useless.
If things don’t work out in the end, then I will find another job.”
What other choice did she have?
Maybe it would be better, anyway. Then ryan would have peace and she could do something else.
But she felt helpless when she said that. After all, she had been working so hard at this job, and it would not be easy for her to find another.
Claire also sighed. Between the two of them, they knew if Farrah made a big deal of things, there would be no helping claire. Farrah was in management. Claire was only an hourly employee and one that could be hired or fired without any consequence.
It was easy to know what the director would choose.
After they finished their work, they met Farah at the Sanitation Service Center.
Stella looked at claire with a smug face. “I think you’d better get ready to leave soon. We don’t want to work with a criminal.”
Claire looked calm, not showing the fear that stella wanted to see.
Stella was unhappy with claire’s lack of reaction and said, “Act tough all you want. The director will call you into the office later!” She snorted coldly. It had not been easy for her to collect the signatures in the office. When she gave the signatures to the director, it seemed that he would probably fire claire.However, a moment later, a staff member from human resources called stella the director wants you to see him in his office.”
“He’s asking for me?stella was a little surprised. She’d been very explicit in her presentation, even going so far as to dig up the trial information on the internet and the salacious news articles that pointed to claire driving while under the influence.
Stella went to the director’s office.
Anna face reflected her worry. “Okay, when you meet the director later, tell him about your difficult position. Maybe the director will sympathize with you and won’t fire you.”“We’ll see,” claire replied.
Some of her colleagues looked at her with sympathy, others with disgust… there were all kinds of gazes.
However, no one had expected that when stella came out of the director’s office, she would be looking like she had lost her soul and all of her previous satisfaction.
Stella why did the director ask for you?” The colleagues gathered around stella and asked.
