Claire sits quietly for a while before getting up to make coffee for Leo in the tea room. She brings it into
the office and puts it on Leo’s desk.
When she goes in, Leo is looking through the papers piled up when they were on business trip. He
never looks up at Claire.
Claire walks out of the office and leans against the door as if she has lost her strength. She’s getting
more and more depressed and a little bit overwhelmed.
Leo is finally back to normal. He no longer smiles at her or flirts with her. Claire should have been
happy. She’s been hoping that Leo will do it these days.
But why can’t she accept the fact when it comes?
She’s such a fool. She knows they are just playing. All that happened in City B is because Leo is bored.
She knows it. She has been warning herself like this these days.
But she feels inexplicable heartache.
Claire sits back in her seat in dismay. She is clumsy in sorting out the accumulated work these days.
Sometimes she is in a trance.
If the elevator doesn’t ring suddenly, Claire will have been in a daze.
She looks in the direction of the elevator and sees Tracy by accident. She’s almost forgotten about
Tracy. Now she feels inexplicably guilty when she sees her.
Tracy doesn’t seem to be in a good mood. As soon as she gets out of the elevator door, she comes
angrily to Claire. The hate in her eyes seems to tear Claire apart.
Tracy has a file bag in her hand. She walks up to Claire and suddenly raises her file bag and throws it
on Claire. Before Claire can react, she slaps Claire in the face.
She shouts, “you bitch!”
With that, she raises her hand and tries to slap Claire on the other side of her face.
Claire is unprepared when she is slapped in the face for the first time. If she is slapped twice, she is a
fool.
Claire quickly gets up and steps back. She stares at Tracy warily and says angrily, “why do you hit
me?”
“You are a shameless bitch!” Tracy finds out that Claire is different today. She finds that the old ugly
secretary turns out to be beautiful after a few days’ business trip to City B.
And this beautiful woman is the one she hated a few days ago.
At first Tracy is shocked. She suddenly realizes and sneers at Claire who has changed from ugly to
beautiful. She sneers at her, “you pretend to be ugly and win my trust and seduce my Leo! You
shameless bitch! Bad mistress! I’ll teach you today not to seduce other people’s boyfriends!”
With that, Tracy puts her bag aside. She raises her arm and rushes to Claire. She seems to want to hit
her.
Claire doesn’t understand why Tracy scolds her. She knows that when Tracy sees her, she will be
angry and scold her, but she didn’t expect Tracy to scold her as a mistress!
Claire can’t stand it. Claire dodges when Tracy rushes in, but the front desk is too small so Claire has
no way to go. Behind her is the wall and in front of her is only Tracy, angry.
Claire hesitates. She resists and grabs Tracy’s arm. She glares at Tracy angrily and says, “what do you
mean? Why do you call me a mistress? When did I become a mistress?”
Claire hates being called a mistress. She is upright. She won’t do such disgusting things.
Will Claire be someone else’s mistress? Stop kidding.
Tracy’s eyes are red with anger. She can’t hit Claire so she kicks Claire’s foot. She screams, “stop
pretending! Don’t think I don’t know you seduced my fiance in City B. You shameless bitch! You
seduced my boyfriend while I was away. You’re disgusting!”
Tracy not only kicks Claire’s calves and thighs with her heels, but also spits on Claire’s clothes. She
expresses her dislike of Claire in the most vulgar way.
Claire feels sick. Her face turns black. She shoves Tracy away and stares at her coldly. She says
angrily, “do you have any evidence? Why do you say I seduced your boyfriend?”
In fact, Claire would like to say that Leo seduced her!
When Claire was in City B, she thought that if Tracy knew Leo was pestering her, she would not let her
go. At the same time, she was glad that she had no acquaintances in City B and no one would
recognize them.
But Claire didn’t expect the day to come so soon. She is at a loss. But she doesn’t want to admit what
Tracy says. That’s not true. She didn’t seduce Leo!
Tracy stares coldly at Claire. She sneers and picks up the file bag she just threw on Claire and throws it
in Claire’s face again.
Claire dodges and the file bag falls to the ground. The pictures inside it slip out.
Claire looks down on the ground subconsciously. She sees in these pictures that she is held in Leo’s
arms and they are holding hands. They were photographed in City B. There is a picture of her and Leo
eating in the restaurant yesterday.
Seeing these pictures, Claire’s face turns pale. She is stiff and blank. She doesn’t know how to react.
The people who take pictures of them are very skilled. She can see their intimacy from every angle. No
matter who sees these photos, they can’t help but misunderstand that they have a special relationship.
However, what makes Claire cold all over is that she seems to enjoy it. How could this happen? She is
very disgusted.
Now she can’t explain to angry Tracy. How can she retort that she was actually forced?
