Clara didn’t have another fever and slept until morning.
When she woke up, she felt like her nose was a little stuffy. She remembered when she was sleeping that she had felt a little suffocated, but then later had gotten better.
She didn’t know if her body was weak because she had had her blood drawn or if it was just a cold...
Clara was about to get out of bed to wash up when she found that Baxter was lying across a chair rubbing his messy hair, as if he had just woken up.
“Did you sleep here last night?”
“Fuck, did I dare not guard you?” Baxter yawned. “Last night...”
Seeing that he didn’t say anything, Clara asked uncertainly, “What happened to me last night?”
Baxter remembered George’s face last night. He was afraid to say anything and scare Clara, so he changed the subject. “You coughed a few times last night and seemed to have a cold. It just so happened that George was staying at the hospital last night. I called for him to give you a shot and then stayed here to guard you.”
“You’ve gone through a lot of trouble for me.” Clara felt sorry to see him sleeping on the chair at night.
Baxter waved his hand uncaringly, “I have experienced sleeping in a minefield. This chair is much more comfortable than that. You should hurry and wash up. Today you need to go to the company.”
Today was the day when the translation department announced the overall score for the interviewees.
“Okay.”
Clara went to the washroom to wash up and change into an avocado green dress. The dress set off her slender figure and made her look playful and cute.
Afterwards Baxter went in to wash his face and comb his hair.
After leaving the hospital, they ate something at the breakfast shop near the hospital.
Because Baxter hadn’t driven last night, after eating the two took a taxi to the EMC Group.
Baxter used his phone on the way to the company, suddenly he looked at Clara. “Clara, what have you done?”
Seeing him ask this, Clara realized that something had happened. She snatched Baxter phone and saw that he was reading Twitter.
The trending topics on Twitter were all about her and EMC.
Someone had posted last night that when they went to EMC for an interview, they had found out that someone was only there for appearances, having earlier already been hired through connections.
And the person who had been hired through connections was Clara Rowan.
The EMC Group was a place that many elites wanted to enter, but because the threshold was high, few people could enter.
Many of those who had failed their interviews were already unhappy. Now someone had blatantly been hired through connections, they began cursing EMC for being a bad company.
“Clara Rowan, an idiot, lost her own company, but still was able to get a job at EMC, what a joke!”
“I heard a certain reporter saying that he saw Clara Rowan at an exclusive dinner party, attending as Mr. Preston’s partner.”
“How could Mr. Preston like someone like her!”
“She probably used the fact that she had been Mr. Preston’s partner, to get the EMC executive to hire her.”
Reading the netizens’ comments, Clara didn’t have any strong emotions. She thought that if these people knew that she had gotten a marriage certificate with Ethan, they would probably doubt life even more.
Seeing that Clara didn’t speak, Baxter leaned over, “If you don’t want to see this news, I can take Twitter offline for a few days.”
Clara was surprised, “Are you so amazing, that you can even take Twitter offline??”
