The person next to her seemed to be a maid carrying a bag for her.
The elevator had already arrived. Clara had intended to go down quickly to buy food, but she intentionally slowed down her pace because the other patient was pregnant.
After entering the elevator, she pressed the button to keep the door open.
After the pregnant women got in the elevator with her maid, she looked up smiled at Clara, and said “Thank you......”
However, after seeing Clara her pupils constricted, almost as though she were shocked.
When Clara saw the woman, she also was stunned for a moment. She recognized her, and in astonishment and hesitation, she asked, “Delores Clayton?”
“Clara Rowan, I remember you.” Delores’s eyes flashed faintly as they swept across her flawless face.
She knew that her appearance was not much worse than Clara’s, but there was still an age gap between the two, so jealousy spread from the bottom of her heart.
A young, assertive, and beautiful face... what man would not desire that?
“You have a great reputation in the musical world and have taught a lot of students.” Clara curled her lips into a smile, “I only attended three of your classes. I didn’t expect you to remember me.”
Delores came in and stood by her side. “In that group of students, your voice was the most accurate, so you left a deep impression on me.”
“Really? “ Being praised by her former teacher, Clara couldn’t help but smile.
The elevator slowly descended.
Clara looked at Delores’s bulging stomach. “I didn’t know you had already married. Are you going to settle down in J city now?”
Delores was wearing a long V collar dress, and it revealed a small section of her chest. When Clara looked again, she saw a pendant hanging on her collarbone.
It was from T’s ‘Flawless Lover’ series.
Clara remembered that this necklace was not only a collectible but also limited-edition. Even for T top tier VIP members it would be difficult to procure.
Now she had met two people in succession who both had this necklace.
Delores seemed to be caught off guard by Clara’s words. She raised a hand to rub her stomach, her eyes tempestuous.
She tried her best to suppress her emotions and replied with a smile, “Well, I’ve been living in J city for a long time. I heard what happened to your family.”
Hearing this, Clara’s eyes drooped and pursed her lips.
Delores turned to look at Clara, her expression gentle. “Clara, since you lost all your family, isn’t it painful to stay in J city? Among the students I’ve taught, you’re the most intelligent. I can introduce you to Hanover University of Music for further study. Someone will pack you up and make you a star in the music industry.”
Seeing that Clara was silent, Delores continued, “You don’t need to worry, I’ll pay for all your expenses.”
“Thank you, Delores, for your kindness, but I want to stay here. “ Clara was no longer interested in music. All she wanted to do now was to avenge her parents.
Although she and Ethan marriage was just a transaction, the two of them had gotten a marriage certificate, and he was her family.
The smile on Delores’s face faded a bit, but her tone was still gentle. “Is it because you still have something to deal with? I can help you.”
Her consistent kindness gave Clara an indescribably strange feeling.
Delores had many students, and she had only attended a few of her classes. She also hadn’t been an especially exemplary student. However, when they had met now a few years later, Delores had not only remembered her, but had also wanted to help her.
It was so strange.
At this time, the elevator arrived at the first floor.
Baxter was waiting with a thermos outside the elevator. When the door opened, he first saw Clara. “Clara, what are you doing down here?”
“Buying candy to eat.” Clara said, and walked out of the elevator, “Why are you here so early?”
“My brother was afraid you would be bored alone, so after Mae made supper, he asked me to send it over.” Baxter raised his eyebrows, “If you don’t want me to accompany you, then I’ll go?”
