Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 19

On the second day, Clara got up half an hour earlier. She wrote a resignation letter with her laptop.

People might say that she was weak or She wanted to escape, but she could not work under Darren anymore. Since she could not be transferred to the department, she could only resign.

But unexpectedly, she received a call from the hospital before she could print out the resignation letter.

"Is it Miss Selman? This morning, we found that your mother's brain wave is fluctuating. There's possibility that she might wake up."

"What?" Clara was overjoyed. "Really, doctor? Can my mother wake up?"

"I can only say that it's possible. But, Miss Selman, I need to remind you that this is not guaranteed."

"As long as there is hope, It's better than before. Doctor, please help my mother."

"Well, we will try our best, but..." The doctor's tone was a little hesitant. "Because there are signs of improvement, different treatments will be taken, in terms of cost..."

Clara was stunned for a moment, but soon he understood and said without hesitation, "I see. Don't worry, doctor. My mother has health insurance and most of it can be covered. As for the extra cost, no matter how much it is, I'll have it covered. Please make sure my mother gets better."

After hanging up the phone, Clara looked at the resignation letter on the computer in front of her. After a moment of silence, finally, she deleted it.

At this time, of course, she could not resign. Not to mention that it was for health insurance, just during the one-month hiatus between job searches, her mom's medical bills couldn't be covered.

Clara packed up her things with a headache and went to work.

She had to face what she should face.

Horace had something to deal with today, and he left very early. After breakfast, Clara took a taxi to her office.

Recently, their magazine received a very big cooperation project, which was related to a magazine in Queensvale. It was said that Darren had to go to Queensvale to negotiate this cooperation in person.

For this, Clara just breathed a sigh of relief.

She hoped that Darren could go on a business trip, so she would not see him in this office.

However, not long after she arrived at the office, the managing editor of Clara hurried over. "Clara, do you have any interview in hand?"

Clara paused for a moment and said, "No."

"Great, then you should get ready. You'll leave for Queensvale with the editor-in-chief in the afternoon."

"What?" Clara suddenly stood up and said, "Managing editor, I'm a reporter, not the editor-in-chief's private assistant. I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?"

The managing editor glanced at Clara.

In fact, she couldn't figure out why the editor-in-chief asked Clara to accompany him on a business trip, but as a subordinate, she couldn't say anything about it.

"There's nothing inappropriate." The managing editor was impatient. "You have no work to do. What's wrong with going on a business trip with him?"

"But—" Clara was anxious. She wanted to say something but was interrupted directly by the managing editor.

"If you have any problems, don't tell me. You can tell the editor-in-chief directly because it was our editor-in-chief who asked that you shall go with him"

The managing editor was a straightforward person. She just blurted out what she wanted say, but she didn't expect that her words attracted many people's attention.

Clara blanched at her words.

Darren asked for her to accompany him?

She had thought that since Darren was already getting married, he would let her go, but what was he trying to do now?

She bit her lip and turned to walk towards Darren's office.

As soon as she left, the women in the office couldn't hold it back anymore.

"What's going on? The editor-in-chief wants Clara to accompany him on a business trip? So strange…"

"I know, but isn't Clara already married?"
