As the option was about to begin, Clara felt nervous and wanted to go to the ladies' room again.
Horace asked, "You need me to go with you?"
Clara shook her head, took her purse and left.
Saying that she left the room, Darren had wanted to follow her when Ashlee said, "Darren, I need to go out for a minute. I'll be back soon."
Since Ashlee was going outside, Darren couldn't follow Clara, not when Ashlee was still pregnant with his child. He didn't want to displease Ashlee at this moment, for she was a pregnant woman.
Clara arrived at the ladies' room, put her purse on the washstand, washed her hands and left without taking her purse with her, probably because she forgot it.
It was when Ashlee followed her into the ladies' room.
She had intended to talk to the staff at the auction house so that she could get an opportunity to destroy the diamond necklace when she saw Clara walk into the ladies' room. She thought that this might be a great opportunity, so she followed Clara.
She was lucky that Clara forgot her purse on the washstand.
Ashlee felt that this was a great opportunity.
She quickly reached out her hands to grab the purse, rummaged through the things in it and found something. She thought that with this, Clara was going to make a fool out of herself today.
Ashlee grabbed the thing in her hand and left the ladies' room, running towards the auction house as fast as she could.
When Clara walked out of the bathroom, opened her purse and wanted to fix her makeup, she found that her amulet was gone.
It was Helena, her mother, who got it for her. Where did it go?
She nervously rummaged through her purse, searching for it.
She took out all the things in her purse, her lipstick, tissues, her phone and her key. She had looked everywhere on and below the washstand but couldn't find it.
She had been carrying it everywhere with her for years. Her mom walked a long distance and got it for her, she had to find it.
Out of anxiety, sweat broke out on her nose.
Maybe she accidentally dropped in the hall?
Thinking of this, Clara walked out of the ladies' room. With her head lowered, she bumped into a man on his chest. The man's chest was so muscular that she staggered backwards after bumping into it.
"Ouch!"
"Are you all right, Miss?" the man was scared and hurriedly asked.
He had just walked to the corridor when this woman rushed out of the ladies' room and ran into his arms. What happened? Was this her trick to get his attention?
Of course, before he could reach any conclusion, he stepped ahead to hold her steady.
He looked at the woman in front of him up and down. She was dressed decently and with grace manners. She was obviously a beauty with sparkling eyes, although she looked anxious.
"Oh, I'm sorry, sir. I'm really sorry," Clara answered. However, as soon as she looked up and saw the man in front of her, she was stunned.
This man was so beautiful.
He had fair skin, tall nose and sexy lips. With clear eyes and long eyelashes, he looked like someone who only existed in the movies.
He was so beautiful that Clara felt dwarfed.
The man looked at the woman in front of him curiously. After she saw his face, she had been grinning. What was she thinking with that strange expression on her face?
Then he asked, "Miss, are you sure you're alright?"
It was not until then that Clara centered herself. With a smile, her white teeth were shown as she spoke, "I'm fine. It doesn't hurt."
The man felt relaxed and asked, "You're here for the charity auction?"
