“Diane, don’t you want to work in GLAM anymore?” Hearing Diane’s words, Clara’s heart was full of resentment and regret.
Diane always went against her at work. If it weren’t for that Diane had worked in GLAM for so many years, Clara would have fired her long ago. Clara didn’t expect that now she was not only dissatisfied but also wanted to set her up.
“Yo, what a brag!” Diane didn’t care about what she said at all. “If you want to threaten me with the job, you’d better wait until you can come out.”
“I tell you, Diane, everyone saw me come out with you to find Sarah. If they can’t find me later, do you think you can escape?” Clara was calm at this time.
“They will doubt you first. If you don’t want to get any messier, you’d better find a way to pull me up now.”
“Really? Miss Hutchinson, editor-in-chief, your words scared me.” Diane said strangely, “Hahaha, Clara, do you think I’ll be afraid if you say that? I can say I’m separated from you to find Sarah, and I don’t know where you go.”
“There are many people who have accidents in camping. There is no evidence, so no one can know it is me. You can live or even die here. Don’t worry, if you had an accident, I will be the editor-in-chief and help you run GLAM well, hahaha…” After saying that, Diane turned to leave with a laugh.
“Diane, come back, come back and pull me up!” Clara shouted in the pit, but she heard Diane’s laughter getting farther and farther away until she couldn’t hear it.
What should I do now? Do I just live or even die here? Clara racked her brain thinking about how to get up.
On the other side, after Horace and Harper arrived at the place to fetch water, Harper talked with Horace eagerly. “Mr. Kirkland, do you think the scenery on this island is beautiful?”
Without answering Harper’s question, Horace began to fetch water with a cold face without looking in her direction.
Having the experience on the cable car, Harper was used to his indifference to herself. She still asked with a smiling face, “Mr. Kirkland, I remember when you came here, you caught a cold. Are you getting better now?”
After fetching a bucket of water, Horace took another bucket to fetch, pretending there was no one around.
Seeing Horace completely ignore herself, Harper bite her lips tightly. During growing up, she had always been popular among men. No man had ever made her so embarrassed before.
No, she couldn’t give up because of this setback. She finally met a rich man whom she liked. Anyway, she must find a way to win Horace’s heart!
After fetching two buckets of water, Horace was about to leave with two buckets in his hands. Seeing this, she hurried forward and pretended to take one bucket in his hand, “Mr. Kirkland, how can you take two buckets of water by yourself? It’s too heavy. Let me carry one.”
Seeing that Harper’s hand was about to touch him, Horace frowned. After putting the bucket of water in his left hand on the ground, he bypassed Harper and continued to walk forward.
Seeing Horace’s action, she was suddenly stunned. She thought that out of gentlemanly demeanor, Horace would not let her do it. Unexpectedly, he let her take one bucket.
Looking at Horace’s back as he walked farther and farther away, she gritted her teeth, exerted herself to take the bucket, and staggered behind him.
“Mr. Kirkland, you… Don’t walk so fast, I, ugh… I can’t keep up with you.” It didn’t take long for Harper to puff breathlessly.
Hearing the words coming from behind, Horace hesitated for a moment, and finally slowed down. Although she was very annoying, she was also a girl after all.
Seeing Horace slowed down because of her words, Harper couldn’t help feeling happy. Sure enough, he still had feelings for her in his heart.
Suddenly, she felt that she was full of strength this time instead of being tired. She rushed to Horace with the bucket, and looked a little shy, “Thank you, Mr. Kirkland.”
Horace felt annoyed when he listened to her little voice. He didn’t look at Harper, nor did she answer her words, just walking forward.
At such a speed, they should return to the camping place soon. Thinking about this, Harper was a little anxious.
No, this was an opportunity to stay with him that she finally won. She couldn’t just let it pass without anything happening.
Coming up with a plan, Harper deliberately tripped her right foot with her left foot.
“Ouch!” Horace heard a scream behind him. Turning back, he found that Harper had fallen to the ground. The bucket was thrown aside, and all the water was spilled out.
Horace showed an impatient look. He turned to walk to her side, “Where do you hurt? Can you stand up?”
Although his tone was cold, Horace finally spoke to her which was a concern after all. Harper couldn’t help laughing happily.
Pretending to show a wronged expression, Harper covered her ankle and said with a weeping accent, “It seems that I sprained my foot. It hurts.”
Looking around, Horace found there was no one he could turn to. He sighed in his heart and could only reach out to hold her up.
Seeing that Horace wanted to help her, there was a smirk in Harper’s eyes. Then she deliberately pretended to be unable to stand firmly and fell into Horace’s arms.
“Sorry, sorry, Mr. Kirkland.” While she was apologizing, she was still in Horace’s arms. In the process, she deliberately pulled down her collar and rubbed Horace’s chest with hers.
When Horace was aware of Harper’s obvious seduction, he immediately became angry. This woman even had this kind of mind for him. Without thinking more, he pushed her out.
After being pushed away by Horace without warning, Harper tried to stand firm subconsciously. She didn’t find something wrong until she stood firm. She regretted it and even wanted to slap herself.
Noticing that Harper didn’t hurt, Horace couldn’t suppress his anger. His tone was cold, which could freeze to death.
“I warned you before. If you dare to get close to me again, I’ll make you unable to stay in Stratmont. It seems that you haven’t taken my words to heart. After this trip, pack your bags and leave the city. Don’t force me to take extreme measures.”
What? Hearing Horace’s words, Harper was stunned for a moment at first. After recovering, she broke down. She made great efforts to stay in Stratmont, but now would she be driven out like this?
For a time, she couldn’t accept this fact. Harper didn’t expect Horace to be so cruel to her. She couldn’t control herself not to cry loudly, “Why? In terms of youth and beauty, which aspect am I inferior to that hag? You treat me so cruelly for her!”
Looking at Harper’s eyes with disgust and indifference, Horace said without any emotion, “You are not qualified to compare with Clara, because you can’t even compare with her hair.”
