“Hey, Clara.” Clara walked to the bar and picked up a glass of orange juice when she heard a voice.
She looked at the person who came and found that it was her colleague. Actually, they hadn’t talked to each other.
“Hello.” Clara is always polite to those who take the initiative to talk to her, such as the girl standing in front of her.
“I’m Leilah Flores.” The girl introduced herself. She looked at Clara in that dress and found her very beautiful.
Clara simply nodded when she heard her name, waiting for her following words.
“I heard there will be a lucky draw tonight. Whoever get drawn can make a wish. With the power of our company, this wish will be blessed and come true. Do you want to try?”
This activity was voluntary, and those who wanted to participate needed to submit their work ID number for the lucky draw.
Leilah had already participated, so she came to ask Clara.
She came to the company not long ago, but she has always had a good impression of Clara, who was usually impassive but very capable in her job.
She just saw Clara standing there alone and came over to tell her about that.
“Okay, I’ll try.”
To participate in this activity was not to get what she wanted, but just to have fun.
Anyway, they had already come out to play, so why not have some fun.
Leilah took Clara to report the job number and they walked around in the small garden at the back of the hall.
Seeing that the party officially started in five minutes, they walked to the front of the hall and listened to the host talking there.
It was a common opening gambit on a corporate event, and Clara had heard it so many times that she didn’t want to hear it anymore.
But because of the rules, they couldn’t leave. She could only have a chat with Leilah.
The host soon finished the polite words and then it was time to start the lottery.
Everyone watched excitedly as the host’s hand slowly stretched into the box, and everyone’s heart was lifted.
Of course, except for Clara and Leilah.
Clara didn’t believe she would be the lucky one at all, while Leilah was just having fun and didn’t take it seriously either.
“1220.”
The host grabbed a number plate and read it out loud. The sighs of the crowd were heard.
“Whose work ID is 1220?” The host called again, seeing that no one had come out yet.
When Clara heard that her job number had been read out on the stage, she smiled.
She stepped onto the stage under the envious eyes of everyone, and then nodded and smiled in front of everyone.
She doesn’t believe that this wish would come true, but her attitude to this equal to her attitude towards the company.
So she must act appropriately.
“Okay, quiet.”
The host couldn’t quiet down the commotion in the audience, so he put both of his hands down to make the audience quiet.
“Next, is time for Clara to make her wish.”
“Wow.” There were shouts from the audience, and Clara was undoubtedly the bright spot on the stage.
She appeared in a gorgeous dress and became the lucky one today, standing here like a queen.
“Okay, be quiet.”
The host looked at the already uncontrollable people under the stage and tried to calm everyone down.
After all, the banquet is not over yet, and there are still activities that have not yet been carried out. If they were all so excited now, wouldn’t they be tired after a while?
Of course, the host was just worrying.
“Okay, come on.” The host looked at Clara and signaled that she could start.
Clara nodded, then folded her hands and looked at the candle, then closed her eyes.
She whispered her wishes and then stepped down.
No matter whether this wish will come true or not, it has always been her wish.
Then it was time for the editor-in-chief to cut the cake.
The editor-in-chief stepped onto the stage, and the staff under the stage instantly became quiet. They all knew the authority of the editor-in-chief and no one dares to act wildly in front of the editor-in-chief.
Of course, it’s nice to have an editor-in-chief who can quell the staff.
The editor-in-chief picked up the knife, and then cut the cake smoothly, with a queen style.
The audience applauded, but no one dared to cheer. The editor-in-chief looked at the audience and then left.
It’s not that she didn’t want to play with them and looked down on them. She was just a cold girl that didn’t say much.
Which made everyone give her the nickname ” Miss Iceberg”.
Of course, privately.
“Okay, then it’s time for everyone to have fun.”
The host was instantly excited when he thought that they could play wildly.
After a hard day in the company, he instantly relaxed and then threw himself in to the game with everyone.
Clara glanced at everyone, then sat on the sofa.
They had changed the party site to a KTV.
Listening to them singing aside, Clara sat there quietly and listened without saying a word.
When Leilah, who is beside her, talks to her occasionally, she will respond with a few words.
After a while, Clara felt the vibration of her phone and went out to answer the call.
“What happened, Neo?” Clara wondered why Neo call her at this time.
“Mom, what time is it? Why haven’t you come home yet? You need to go to work tomorrow morning.”
Neo spoke to her like an adult, leaving her speechless, she could only say that she would go back soon.
Then she went inside, said that to Leilah, and came to the editor-in-chief.
“Madam, I have to go home first, my son is still at home.”
The editor-in-chief nodded to her, indicating that she could leave.
Clara then hurriedly drove home.
She knew that if she didn’t go home quickly, she would die of Neo’s nagging.
That’s when she got another call from Neo.
“Mom, where are you?” Neo has been waiting for fifteen minutes, but Clara still hasn’t come back.
“I’m almost home.” Clara glanced at the street lights and shops outside and knew that she was not far from home.
She continued to drive home.
“Mommy.”
Clara just got home and was changing shoes when she heard Neo’s resentful voice coming from behind.
Clara was really taken aback.
“Yes?” Clara turned around and looked at him.
Then she saw the admiration and surprise in his eyes, and then contempt.
“Mommy, don’t forget Dad.”
Then he turned around and went back to the room.
Neo just didn’t want her to go home so late, and now that his goal has been achieved, so he turned around and left.
