“So you’ve been here all the time, but you never came to see me?” Although Clara was asking a question, she had already been certain about what she asked.
Horace nodded and admitted.
“Okay, it was time to get off work. Let’s go home.” Horace took her hand and went out.
The people outside had already gone. It was already six o’clock.
When they got home, Neo was at home. When he was doing his homework in the living room, he saw Clara and Horace coming back hand in hand.
Neo was shocked. He never thought that Horace would come back.
Horace looked at the stunned Neo. He laughed and teased him, “What’s wrong? You don’t even know me?”
Neo finally came to his senses. He stood up directly and ran to hug Horace, calling out, “Dad!”
Horace happily stroke his head. Seeing that his son had reached the height of his waist, he finally realized that it had been such a long time.
“Did you protect your mom at home?” Horace squatted down, looked at Neo, and asked. He found that Neo looked more and more like himself.
“Well, yes.” Neo nodded, staring at Horace.
“Okay, you are really sensible and know you should protect your mom.”
Horace saw that Neo just stood there, looking obediently at them and knew that he has grown up into a man.
But Horace didn’t know that it wasn’t that Neo had grown up and wouldn’t cry anymore. It was because he didn’t dare to act like that.
Seeing that Clara was so tired every day, he was afraid that he would bring more trouble to her if he cried and complained.
Therefore, Neo simply stopped that. He insisted on being a good kid and always kept an eye on his mom.
After they had dinner together, they went back to their room.
When they got to the room, Horace showed his side as a man. He directly pushed Clara against the wall and kissed her passionately.
This kiss was different from the gentle one in the company. It showed a strong possessiveness and passion.
As a result, Clara’s body suddenly softened.
“Horace, don’t.” Clara reached out and pushed him, but he became tougher.
Men have the strongest desire to conquer, and her refusal at this time was undoubtedly adding fuel.
Horace slowly took off her clothes, put his hands on her breasts, and took a deep breath.
He gently put her on the bed and carefully stroked the place he liked.
Then they started to kiss each other.
Horace didn’t waste a little bit of time during the whole night.
When Clara woke up the next morning, her legs were so weak that she couldn’t even get off the bed.
On the other hand, Horace greeted her with a smile on his face.
“Morning.”
“Morning my ass.”
Clara glanced at Horace, and then tried to get out of bed. But her legs were so weak that she almost fell as soon as she landed on the ground.
Of course, without his help, Clara would fall to the ground.
Horace hugged Clara and said, “Don’t go to work today, ask your editor-in-chief for leave.”
Clara heard his words and realized something.
She didn’t go to work yesterday afternoon!
If she asked for another day’s leave, she might be driven out directly by her bosswhen she arrived at the company next time.
Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but tremble. Their editor-in-chief could even scold people to cry.
If it was her, that would be so embarrassing.
She shook her head and insisted on going to work.
“If you want some gossip spreading inside your company, just go.”
Horace looked at Clara playfully, with a wicked smile on his face.
Right, she disappeared after seeing Horace yesterday and she also asked for leave this morning.
Then those noisy people in the company would know about them.
It was okay when she didn’t do it but when she did it, that would be very embarrassing.
In addition, they would think that it was her who seduced Horace for promotion.
It was really not a good feeling to be thought of like this, so she might as well take a leave.
Clara tried to dial out the phone, and then looked at Horace, feeling a little frightened.
“Hello?” The editor’s voice came.
“Editor-in-chief, I want to ask for a day off today,” Clara said submissively. It was embarrassing to be scolded by her boss in front of her husband.
“No! Come back and write your report!” The editor-in-chief was angry that Clara didn’t go to the company the day before and now she was even angrier when she heard she was asking for another day off.
Absolutely unacceptable!
Clara looked at Horace and didn’t know what to say.
“I’m Horace Kirkland, Clara is here with me, and she is my wife.”
Horace hurriedly helped her, but in her eyes, Horace was being silly.
“Horace Kirkland?” The editor-in-chief was stunned, but she could take it.
“I don’t want to hear any gossip.”
Clara had not agreed to reveal her identity, he must ask her to keep it a secret.
“Okay, I see.”
Clara looked at him and understood one thing.
That was, Horace bought the company that she was in.
Otherwise, why would the editor-in-chief listen to what he said and keep it a secret for him? There was only one possibility.
“You bought my company?” Although Clara was already certain in her heart, she thought it would be better to ask again.
“Well, yes.” Horace looked at Clara, trying to observe her expression, but he was very disappointed, Clara seemed not surprised.
Horace was rich and he owned Solrace. So she was not surprised when she heard he had bought a small company.
But when she thought that she had been working for him all the time, she felt a little uncomfortable.
She had been earning her family’s money, so what was the fun?
Clara pouted and looked at him, “Then I want to quit my job.”
Clara wanted to work in a different magazine. She didn’t want to work for him.
“No.”
Horace wouldn’t allow her to work for others, he would feel distressed.
Clara knew that Horace would not agree, so she didn’t say anything and just stared at him.
“What’s wrong?”
Clara just asked him, “Don’t you have to go to work?”
“No, I’m in a good mood now.”
Horace replied domineeringly.
Right, working in his own company, he didn’t need to ask for leave if he don’t go to work for one day, and no one dared to say anything.
That’s the benefit of being a boss.
Thinking of this, Clara didn’t want to quit anymore. She could just be the boss at home.
