Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 162

Horace?

Clara wondered what he had done to win Sarah's admiration.

Sarah cried excitedly, "There is a video of the journalists interviewing Horace. Watch it! It has been spread to every corner online! He is so COOL!" She thumbed up at Clara in order to show her admiration towards Horace.

Clara picked up her phone and found it a great pity that she had not checked on her phone for a long while because, besides the three calls from Darren, there were also eight missed calls from Horace.

Even though she missed the calls, she still could see what he was going to say as he tried to contact her in such a hurry. She was grateful. Whereas, she did not know how to face him at that moment since she was sorry that the rumors about her might cause him troubles.

In the video, a crowd of journalists interviewed Horace about the rumors online. The whole scene was noisy, chaotic and covered by a growing din.

Clara noticed that, in the video, a crowd of journalists blocked Horace's way into the corporation and kept on questioning him about his attitude towards the hashtags about herself while Isaac was trying to maintain order— it was in total chaos.

Amid the chaos, Horace, although he sat still and quiet in his wheelchair in a calm manner like a delicate ice sculpture, owned an air of authority that indicated that he had the power to put the whole world under control.

A journalist suddenly got rid of the crowd and stepped closer to Horace. He cried, "Mr. Kirkland, please tell us something."

At this, Horace finally turned around and cast a look at that journalist.

The fury in his eyes would scare and make everyone shudder even through the lens.

Clara knew that Horace was definitely pissed, or even furious.

Although he did not shout, nor did he have a dramatic change in his expression, the look in his eyes could quiet all the journalists down like a basin of icy-cold water.

Horace's voice slowly rang to break such a deadly silence.

"I know her better than any of you."

Even though he did not reply in a powerful tone, his seemingly casual words weighed a thousand pounds, forcing all the journalists to hold their breath.

Moreover, even people like Clara who saw this through the screen could feel the power of his answer.

He trusted her no matter how the world had defamed her.

She got a lump in her throat.

She did not believe that she could deserve such trust and care from such a man.

All the anger and pain she had suffered that day were relieved at Horace's words.

At that moment, Clara felt that she had restored her power and positiveness again. No one could hurt her anymore as long as Horace was there with her.

Horace had embraced her with warmth and rescued her sinking heart.

The work of that day finally came to an end amid the rumors. Clara simply tidied up her desk and left GLAM.

She did not want to give any response to those boring comments any more. Since she could not explain the whole story within one or two sentences, she would just give up the effort.

A clean hand wants no washing.

Clara saw Horace's black Bentley parking at the crossroad as soon as she went out of GLAM's door.

He was there to take her home.

Was he there for her because he was afraid that she would be recognized in the subway?

Lost in thought, Clara stood still for a while, not knowing how to face Horace.
