Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 123

Clara slept in the guest room while Horace spent a sleepless night alone.

The next day, Clara left early before Horace could see her.

In the evening, when Horace arrived home from work, Clara was already at home. After dinner, she went to the bedroom alone.

Horace did not want to say anything, either. Hence, he remained silent.

Clara lay down on the bed fully clothed, making enough room on the bed for Horace.

Her eyes were closed as if she had fallen asleep.

Horace came in with the wheelchair and saw this. He sighed, put his quilt and pillow on his lap, and went to the study, leaving Clara alone in the bedroom.

The next morning, they remained nonchalant rather than talked with each other, as if they had become strangers in one night.

Even the servant realized something went wrong between Clara and Horace, thinking that such a perfect couple shouldn't give the cold shoulders to each other. No couple bore grudges. However, Clara and Horace had barely spoken to each other for many days.

Nonetheless, the servant did not interfere with this, and the house got much quieter than usual.

Neither Clara nor Horace wanted to speak to the other. They both were angry with each other.

From where Horace stood, Clara was so angry because Horace deliberately let Darren hear it when they made out. Clara felt ashamed in that she cared a lot about Darren's attitude towards her.

This made Horace even angrier.

But in fact, Clara was angry that Horace did not respect her will. Sex was really a matter of mutual agreement, but Horace made it rough and violent.

One day, when Clara was on the way to work, Horace's car went whizzing by rather than stopped and picked her up, as if Horace didn't see her.

In the past, Horace always waited for Clara at this intersection and then drive her to the entrance of the subway before driving away.

In a low mood, Clara walked into her office.

Darren looked through the window and found that Clara looked upset with low spirits these days. Nonetheless, he did not dare to ask her what happened.

After the violent kiss, Darren always avoided Clara for fear that she would be angry or embarrassed.

Darren was very anxious.

Everyone in the office was excited and enthusiastic about something.

Sarah ran up and gave Clara a big hug.

Sarah was so happy that her eyes narrowed, saying to Clara, "Clara, the photo of Horace and Yolanda we reported made GLAM not only sell well but also reached the top of the monthly sales! Clara, we won!"

Everyone applauded Clara's group and said they should learn from them.

At that moment, the chef came over and said, "I have another piece of good news for you! Considering our outstanding performance, the company decided to reward us! The annual trip is around the corner and all of us can bring our family along!"

"That's great!" "What good news!" "Hooray!" Everyone cheered.

Clara got caught up in the excitement, and finally gave a smile.

Sarah said to Stephanie, "Stephanie, I know you'll take your husband with you, right? I don't know which boyfriend I should take, afraid that the other one will be jealous. Can I take both with me? Please."

The chef was amused and shook her head.

Stephanie knew Sarah well. Stephanie said, "Seriously? You don't even have a boyfriend, so just stop talking nonsense! You are old enough to get married. We are all anxious for you."

Sarah giggled.

Diane suddenly stood up from her seat and asked with a sly smile, "Clara, I wonder which man you will take, your husband or your paramours?"

The office fell silent abruptly because of Diane's question.

Everyone was also curious about what Clara's husband actually looked like and who he was.

Sarah suddenly realized that their report made a hit because Clara's husband was working in Solrace. Without Clara's husband's help, they couldn't have captured the photo of Horace and Yolanda.

Sarah said, "Diane, you shut up. You can't defame Clara. If Clara's husband hadn't broken the news to her, GLAM couldn't sell so well. Thank you, Clara?"

Clara was astonished.

Clara had no choice but to echo Sarah, awkwardly smiled, and said, "Don't mention that. He did not do anything. You don't have to take it seriously."

Sarah then said, "No. Whatever you say, he did us a great favor! Clara, you must bring your husband on to trip with us so that we can thank him in person. We owe him big time! Everybody, do you agree with me?"

"Can't agree more!" Everyone strongly approved of Sarah's idea!

Diane rolled her eyes and sat back down. She thought, "Clara, you have offended Ashlee. She is a ruthless woman and she will make your life a living hell."

Everyone wanted to see Clara's husband.

However, Clara didn't want to talk with Horace now, so she didn't know what to say now.

She thought it was a real paradox.

Clara was still angry with Horace and didn't want to go on the annual trip with him. Nonetheless, if she didn't take him, everyone would overthink it.

If Clara took Horace with her, then everyone would know that her husband was actually Horace, the president of the Solrace, which would make it even worse!

Clara pretended as if she suddenly remembered something and said to Sarah, "Sarah, I forgot my bag downstairs. I'll go down and get it. Please answer the phone for me."

After saying that, Clara blushed and rushed out of the office.

The others began to wonder whether that Clara refused to show her husband to them in that he was particularly ugly. Perhaps it was not Clara's husband but her mistress who broke the news to her. After all, few people dared to do that. No one wanted to offend Horace.

Diane got excited and said, "Look at the ring on Clara's hand. We can tell what her husband is like. He must be a low-rank employee working in Solrace. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bought Clara such a cheap ring."

Stephanie couldn't bear to hear this and said to Diane, "You know nothing about Clara. Just stop talking nonsense here. Can you mind your language? Clara's husband has nothing to do with you. Just mind your own business!"

For a while, almost all people in the office began to guess who Clara's husband was.
