Clarissa had always known that Iris wasn’t someone to be trifled with. She was cruel, ruthless, and capable of anything. She was also a master at pushing the blame on other people, so Clarissa was afraid that things would go wrong if she were to return to Lotharia. She wasn’t exactly crazy for money.
“How should I address you?” she asked the old man.
“My name’s George Highmore. Oh, right. Are you the one who asked for the SCARF album? I brought it here for you.” After that, George pulled a vinyl record out of his bag.
Clarissa accepted it. She had asked Seth to bring her this from Lotharia. Why was George the one giving it to her?
“You’re Seth’s…”
“Father. He’s my youngest son.” George smiled. “He really likes you. He came to the University of Florin because he was being conferred the title of honorary professor, and I came with him. He asked me to come to see you.”
Clarissa was speechless.
This was such a small world!
She felt like she had gone around the world, only to realize that everyone around her was still the same people she had always known.
She didn’t know how to continue with the conversation.
“I’ve been married before,” she said.
“That’s beside the point. The important thing is that he likes you,” George said cheerily.
“But I’m still in love with my ex-husband…” Clarissa said after a pause.
