Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 154

Seeing that Clara was not interested in talking about this anymore, they went back to their own seat. This was difficult for Clara as she had never been through this before, but because of Horace, she had to keep things covered.

Clara finished her work. She stood up to get a cup of coffee.

Just at this moment, Sarah bounced up from her seat, as if something incredible had happened.

She screamed and ran to Clara, "Clara, have you checked your Twitter account? You had more than a hundred thousand followers now!"

Clara was shocked! This was no joke.

She logged in to her account as soon as possible, and sure enough, everyone was talking about her! The number of her followers continued to grow!

Many people on the Internet retweeted and added hashtags about Horace and her.

[Mrs. Kirkland finally showed up! our idol was conquered. I was already crying on my bed. Just let me be!]

[I envy that woman. She is mediocre, and the only thing she has more than me is luck.]

[Horace is such a good man. Why is the woman beside him not me...]

[How could this woman take Horace's heart? I can never understand!]

[I support Horace and the girl he loves. I love you, Clara! I love you, Horace!]

She kept scrolling and reading those tweets, and started to feel nervous about all this unwanted attention. It's really hard to be a public figure. She had become the target of public criticism! Was she going to be recognized every time she walked out of her door? Would she be followed around by some of Horace's groupies?

Clara did not want to see any of these messages anymore, and just as she was about to log out, she saw one message that caught her attention.

[They have gone public? It seems that Mr. Kirkland had really forgotten the woman who died for him in the fire.]

The nickname of this account was "Back2Past". She recognized it. He also tweeted about Horace's ex-girlfriend before.

Clara subconsciously felt that this person was somewhat different from other internet trolls.

She clicked into the account's homepage and noticed that this person had followed her. Nothing on his page could give her any clue about this person's identity.

Strange.

Who could it be? This person seemed to be haunted by the fire ten years ago. Could it be someone who was actually involved in the incident?

"Back2Past" had even followed her on Twitter. It meant he/she was interested in her daily life. Could it be Yolanda Zachman, or a superfan of Horace?

While Clara was trying to figure that out, Darren called her into his office.

Everyone guessed what Darren would say to Clara. He looked very depressed. Maybe Clara would be scolded for the fund conference yesterday?

Clara entered the office and Darren asked her to sit in front of the desk.

The two sat face to face in silence for a few minutes.

Finally, Darren spoke first and looked at Clara with meaningful eyes, "Clara, you are a public figure now. Is he good to you?"

Clara nodded.

Darren broke the silence again and said, "Clara, do you know Logan Hutchinson?"

Logan? Wasn't he the brother of Laura Hutchinson? Clara had seen him and was impressed by his good-looking face

She said, "Yes. I've met him. He's Laura Hutchinson's brother."

Darren sat back and said, "Did Horace tell you that?"

"Yes, he told me everything. Didn't he sell his sister's pen at the charity auction last time?"

Darren didn't expect Horace to be so frank with Clara and didn't hide anything. It seemed that the two were going serious with each other.

Darren said, "Well, it would be better if you knew him. He is the son of the Hutchinson family, and he is going to hold an exhibition of antiques at the Dacazo Cultural Center. Your team needs to prepare for it. Our magazine will interview him and write an article about him."

Interview?

Clara nodded, "OK. We'll get ready."

Seeing Darren staring at her, Clara also felt very unnaturally. She said, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll get back to work."

Clara stood up and was about to walk out of the room.

"Wait a minute, Clara." Darren stood up and said, "I have something to say to you."

Clara turned around and looked up at him. He was looking back at her with affectionate eyes. She turned her eyes away. She didn't want to give Darren any illusion that he had a chance with her.

Darren asked, "Clara, are you serious with Horace? Do you have feelings for him?"

He seemed to have overstepped the social borderline.

Clara said, "It seems to have nothing to do with you, is it?"

"Clara, could you please think about it?" Darren walked straight to her. "I know you agreed to marry Horace to save your mother. I don't blame you for that. This just showed your kindness. But do you really plan to continue this relationship with him? Do you think you will be happy in an arranged marriage?"

Yes, she was happy.

She said, "Mr. Kirkland, I'm afraid it is a personal thing and it is none of your business"

"Clara, I care about you. Horace is a cold-blooded man. When he meets the next woman, he will abandon you. I'm his nephew. I know him too well! You must listen to me and it's for your own good!"

"For my good?" Clara thought his words were quite funny. He already had a child with Ashlee and they were about to get married, but it seemed he cared about her too much. She said to him, "You have your standing point, but could you please not speak ill of Horace in front of me? I'm his wife."

"Clara, be rational and think about what I said."

"I'm very rational. It's you who should step out of other people's business."

Darren's heart suddenly ached and he said, "Clara, I just want to know whether your life is good or not with him?"

Clara's heart softened and her attitude changed a little after hearing Darren's words.

She said, "OK. Since you want to know... I am very happy now. Horace loves me very much and I also love him back. Yes, I admit that at the beginning, this marriage was a trade, but now we have a happy life."

To his surprise, Clara expressed her heart to him directly. But Darren still loved Clara so much that he couldn't forget her even if he wanted to.

"Do you really love him? Do you really want to be with Horace?" Darren could not believe his ears and looked at Clara with sorrow-ridden eyes.
