Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 219

Was it up to him to decide what I should wear and what not? I didn't buy it for him. Angrily, Clara changed into one of the clothes she just bought yesterday and put on a similar makeup.

Then she went to work.

Today's work was to cover an auction in Stratmont. Sarah and Luis would go with her.

Clara went to many auctions with Horace after they got married. She was already quite familiar with the process.

They took several photos of the auction, noted down some of the most popular lots, and interviewed a few buyers. Then they planned to go back to sort out today's material.

When they were about to leave, Clara saw someone familiar. She hesitated a bit and said to Sarah and Luis, "You can go first. I see someone I know and I want to say hello."

"OK, take care." Sarah and Luis left soon.

"Logan!"

Logan heard someone call his name. He turned around and saw Clara.

He was dumbfounded when he saw her.

Logan kept staring at her and didn't speak. Clara felt weird, "What's wrong?"

"Hmm?" Logan came to realize that he was being quite impolite. He smiled and explained, "Nothing special. Your dress is cute. I never saw you dress like this."

"Yeah, I just want to try new style. Do you want to buy anything here?" Clara started the conversation quite randomly.

"Actually, I come here to make more friends in business. You come here to work?" Logan thought the only reason she was here was working.

"Well, yes. I need to go back to work. See you."

"OK, see ya." Logan said.

Seeing her walk away, Logan couldn't hold back his grief anymore. He whispered woefully, "Laura…"

Clara went back to the office.

"Clara, you came back so quickly," Sarah said, "I thought it would take you longer."

"He was merely an acquaintance." Clara noticed that Sarah kept looking at her.

"Why are you staring at me? I noticed it since the auction." Clara found it amusing.

Sarah smiled, "You noticed it? Well, I thought I kept it low-key."

"You looked different and prettier today, so I couldn't help staring at you."

"Right, Clara, your outfit and makeup today are very different from usual. But you do look more stunning and more attractive. Women really need to dress up. " Stephanie glanced at Clara and joined them in the conversation.

"Really?" asked Clara doubtfully. Horace said that it didn't fit her yesterday, and made her believe that she looked nasty in it.

"Really! You look really cute. Believe me!" Sarah kept nodding to show that she meant it rather than just flatter her.

"Well, good to know. Thank you." Hearing Sarah say this, Clara was happy. After all, everyone wanted to look good.

"Big news, big news, check Twitter!" Dave, a new comer, yelled and rushed into the office. He trotted all the way to his desk and turned on his computer.

"What news? What's it about?" Everyone was intrigued and gathered around his desk.

"Someone posted a video of Solrace's CEO and his ex-girlfriend. It now went viral."

Dave said, clicking open the video.

As soon as everyone heard that it was about Horace, they became curious and stared into the computer.

Clara was uncomfortable when she heard that the video featured Horace and Laura, but she couldn't overcome her curiosity.

In the video, Horace was celebrating Laura's birthday.

A girl was making a wish in the video, with her eyes closed and fingers crossed. There was a three-layer cake in front of her. On top of it was two little dolls holding hands and kissing.

The girl was in a white off-the-shoulder dress. Embellished with diamonds, the dress reflected the candle light, which made the girl look like she was dazzling. Her long and thick hair hung long on the shoulder and breast, making her elegant collarbone partly visible.

She got ivory skin, slender eyebrows, streamlined nose and pink smiling lips. Standing there, she looked like an angle.

The boy next to her was none other than Horace.

Horace looked different in the video. He was much younger and more cheerful. He was singing a birthday song to Laura. His eyes were full of affection.

After making a wish, Laura opened her eyes, blew out the candles and looked at Horace. Horace also smiled at her and patted on her head. "Happy Birthday." he said.

Laura stood on tiptoe and kissed his forehead quickly. Then she bowed her head and dared not look at him again.

Horace didn't see it coming and froze. People around them began to shout, "Kiss, kiss..."

Horace was a bit embarrassed when he heard people's cry. But he still pulled Laura closer and planted a kiss on her forehead.

People were even more boisterous…

Though it was only a one-minute-long video, but every could feel the deep love between the two.
