Chapter 142 - "Dads in the Office..."

Clara's PoV

'Your to behave I tell you' John scoffed as the pair of them walked towards his office.

John had to admit these days how much like Clara Evie was becoming. Her brunette hair was just as long as Clara's and she definitely had Clara's taste in clothes.

She had jean shorts on (far too short in John's opinion but Clara approved) a pink shirt and boots on with a brown leather jacket. John just thought about how that was something that Clara would totally wear.

He didn't really want to have to put up with Evie for the day. Mainly because she can get very bossy and gets bored easily and partly because this afternoon John had things to do.

'When break time?' Evie asked.

'Break time? We've only just walked in the building. It's not break time yet' John scoffed pointing at the sofa as to where she could go and handed her the spare laptop. 'You can start by writing the introduction to your essay' he suggested.

'What exactly am is supposed to write? I went to work today with my step Dad who is also my adoptive dad and spent the day in the office where my actual dad also happens to work. I did shredding?'

'There you go. Sounds like a good start' he shrugged it sensing in the slightest Evie's sarcasm.

'Where is Dad?'

'Probably not here yet. Anyone would think that you don't want to spend the day with me?' John scoffed a little hurt by that fact.

Until recently Evie and John had been butting heads over everything. That was the one thing tjatnclara was worried about with them spend the  day together. If one of them gets heated then it becomes complicated.

'What can I do?'

'I don't know. Kids things. Your 9. Go and explore' he suggested really wanting to get on with working.

He could really do without the distraction today.

Evie jumped off the extra chair and left the room in a huff, the last thing she did was pick up her phone.

She couldn't get into any trouble. It was only his office.

'Out. Evie. Take this' John shouted throwing a visitors pass at her and putting a ticket with John's mobile number on it. 'Don't loose it' he mumbled.

She was annoyed now that she had been fobbed off on wandering around the office instead of actual experience but she figured if she found Richard he might be some use.

After another 10 minutes of wandering the building she came across the office that she was looking for.

Turns out Richards office was up on the third floor - well one of his offices. She later found out that he his main office is opposite John's.

It was just a good job he went to his second office on this particular morning otherwise he wouldn't have found Evie.

She went into the kitchens and started chatting away to the guys in there. She wasn't one for talking to strangers but figured that since she was at her Dads work -'that they wouldn't be strangers as such.
