MY GORGEOUS WIFE IS AN EX-CONVICT

Chapter 16

Claire smiled gratefully. However, her heart was still heavy.

She wasn’t sure if she would really be able to meet isaac if she went to the office building of the Landford Group. But besides there, she didn’t know where else she could find him.

Thinking about it, she knew very little about him. She didn’t even know where he lived!

However, when claire arrived at the Landford Group in the afternoon, she discovered that she could not even walk through the entrance, let alone seeing isaac She was immediately stopped by the security guards.

When she said that she wanted to see isaac, she received a mocking look from the others.

“If Mr. Landforx were to meet everyone who just randomly shows up and asks for him, he wouldn’t even have time to sleep! Every day, there are so many people like you who come here to visit him.”

“When the others want to see Mr. Landford they will at least dress up. With your outfit, who do you think will believe you when you say that you know Mr. Landford.

Claire lowered her head to look at the clothes she was wearing. She knew that these street vendor’s clothes looked cheap and rough.

In the eyes of these security guards, she was probably just a person who had come to look for an opportunity.

The only thing claire could do was wait at the door for him. Standing to one side of the landford Group’s gate, she hugged her cotton-padded jacket.

The cold winter wind blew over her cheeks and went down through the collar into her clothes. Suddenly, her body felt a lot colder.

Claire rubbed her hands against each other. From time to time, she would blow some warm breath over her fingers. Her eyes were looking at the gate of the building. She hoped that she could meet isaac by waiting there.

Of course, she knew that there was more than one entrance to the building, but the only thing she could do was wait at 9 the gate which would give her the highest possibility of seeing him.

Suddenly claire’s eyes lit up. She saw nathan getting out of a car and heading into the landford Group’s Office Building.

Nathan” claire yelled anxiously. The only person she knew who was acquainted with isaac was nathan.
Nathan looked at the direction of the voice and saw  claire. His expression turned stern as if he was surprised.

“Miss grey, why are you here?” nathan stepped forward and asked politely.

“I…” claire bit her lip slightly, and her expression seemed a little uneasy and embarrassed. “I want to see… Mr. Landford. But I can’t enter the building. Nathan, may I trouble you to take me to Mr.landford”

Nathan pondered for a moment before saying, “Okay. Miss grey follow me.”

As he spoke, nathan led the way and claire followed him.

As for the security guards who had mocked claire before, they were stunned.

“She… she went in with nathan.”

“Judging from the attitude that nathan had towards her, he seems a little respectful towards her!”

“Does this woman really know Mr. Landford”

The security guards looked at each other and all broke out into a cold sweat for no reason.

Claire followed nathan into the elevator and We way to the floor of the president’s office.

This floor was quiet. When they arrived at the door of the president’s office, nathan said to claire “Wait a minute miss grey . I’ll go in and report first.”

“Alright.” claire agreed. She lowered her eyes and looked awkward as she waited quietly.

Nathan went in for a short while before coming out again, allowing claire to enter the president’s office.
Nathan gently closed the door after claire walked in.

He had brought claire along not because of her own words, but because his own boss still cared about her.

Maybe Mr. Landford just wanted claire to give in. However, claire looked as if something was bothering her, which could be a perfect stepping stone for Mr. Landford.

Thinking of this nathan couldn’t help but feel happy.

At that moment, in the secretary’s office, a secretary came over and asked nathan curiously, nathan who is the woman that went into the president’s office just now?”

After all, judging from the woman’s outfit, she didn’t seem to be a person who could normally enter the president’s office.

However, nathan said simply, “Don’t ask. You will know when the time comes.”

And before that time came, he was afraid that someone might gossip about it and violate the taboo of Mr. Landford.

In the office, claire was a little uneasy as she stood there. She looked at isaac, who was sitting in front of his desk and reading through some documents. She felt that the air seemed to be filled with awkwardness.

Previously, she had refused to stay with him. She had thought that there would no longer be any relationship between them.

But she hadn’t expected that she would come to him so soon.

After only a few days, she was standing in front of him once again.

However, the man in front of her was someone she had never been familiar with.

In the large office, he was wearing an iron-gray suit. His bangs were combed back, revealing his broad forehead. His long eyebrows were drawn up, and his beautiful peach-blossom-like eyes were half-closed as he stared at the documents in his hand.

Around the beautiful neckline was the collar of a shirt and navy blue tie.

His slender fingers were holding a black pen. When he held the pen and signed the document, his posture gave her an elegant feeling.

In the office, it was terribly quiet until his voice broke the silence.

“Sis, are you here just to stare at me like this?”

Claire was stunned. It seemed that she hadn’t been expecting him to call her “sis” anymore.

This nickname was like mockery for her as if he was laughing at how naive she was. At that time, she had even taken him to her home and asked him to be her younger brother.

“I have something to tell you.” claire licked her dry lips.

“Okay, go ahead,” he replied, but he was still buried in reviewing the documents.

She hesitated for a moment before saying, “Well, I was wondering if you could let my uncle and the others go. Now that they have been locked up for a while, it should be enough of a lesson for them. I want to go to the police station and drop the case, but the lawyer on your side has been handling this case, so… please inform your lawyer about this.”

Isaac then slowly raised his head and looked at her face. “I remember that I gave you a choice at the beginning. You said that you didn’t want to release them. So, are you going back on your words now?”

He looked at her as if he was ridiculing her. She felt that even her breath was being stifled under his gaze.

After a long while, she said, “Well, I want… to let them go.”

As if he had heard the funniest joke in the world, he said, “What kind of person do you think I am? Do you think you can order me around? I gave you a chance to make a choice. Since you made your decision before, you will have to accept the consequences now.”
