Chapter 167
Once the car had reached the city center, the storm began to calm down.
Then it was windy and the clouds cleared. In the firmament, a rainbow appeared. Many pedestrians stopped to admire it
Clément parked the car near the front door of the small market to let Florentin get off.
Once out of the car, the latter bowed deeply to Clément to show his gratitude and respect for him.
– Thank you very much, Maître Clément. Clement said carelessly looking at Florentin: – Florentin, you must not tell anyone about everything that happened today. OK ?
– Of course it is, Master Clement.
Florentin now seemed to worship Clement as if he were a real god. Then Clement nodded in satisfaction before restarting the car. Florentin remained rooted to the spot for a long time after seeing the car drive away.
At the same time, the couple brought Lucile to the hotel.
During her stay in City J, Lucile always stayed in the Hotel Buckingham. Equipped with a very efficient security system, this hotel belonged to the Huet family. So Lucile’s cousin wasn’t supposed to hurt her, no matter how bold he was.
Getting out of the car, she felt bitter looking at Clément: she had a lot to tell him; she wanted to express her gratitude to him and especially to ask his forgiveness for having despised him in the past, all that weighed heavily on her.
However, in Chloe’s presence, she couldn’t even say a word. And every time she wanted to tell the truth, she swallowed her saliva. In front of the hotel door, Chloe hugged her, saying softly: – Lucile, don’t hesitate to contact Clément if anything bad has happened. Don’t risk yourself for anything. Lucile replied with docility, nodding her head: – All right, Chloe. Don’t worry about it. Clément was jealous of Lucile, seeing Chloe kissing her, because for him, his wife kissed this best friend much more often than him.
But Clément didn’t pay attention to Lucile’s eyes, which also betrayed a certain jealousy for Chloé.
A fter taking leave of Lucile, Clément and Cholé returned home. And wet from the rain, Chloe went to take a shower in the bathroom and get changed first.
— This is only the beginning! I plan to win him 300,000 euros by the same means next time. You can now count on me to lead a rich and happy life.
