Randall and Claudia exchanged a glance. With a strange, unspoken understanding they hadn’t known they shared, they both stood at the same moment and made their way toward Jaron.

More guests kept arriving–even a few reporters had shown up. They positioned themselves in the second row, watching intently.

Claudia, in her heels, didn’t need to stand on her toes, but as people shifted around, trying to snap photos of Jaron, the crowd grew restless.

There was a quiet moment as he prepared–then he began to write.

Jaron wrote in a fluid, sweeping cursive–bold and unbridled. Every stroke hummed with raw, unyielding vitality. There was a power between the lines that felt earth–shaking, as if it could cut straight through the paper and strike deep in one’s chest.

He signed it plainly: Jaron Levin.

The room broke into applause. Claudia watched, smiling softly, as Jaron pressed his seal onto the corner of the paper.

The clapping had hardly faded when someone called out an offer to buy the piece–and just like that, it turned into an impromptu auction.

The crowd stirred again.

It wasn’t every day you could acquire a Jaron original. Several people were already weaving their way toward him.

Claudia felt a hand wrap around her arm–a firm grip pulling her aside before releasing her.

She realized a photographer had nearly barreled into her. Had she not moved, he would have knocked her right over.

She looked up, her clear eyes meeting the gaze of the man in front of her.

Randall didn’t seem to notice her staring. He didn’t even glance her way, as though pulling her to safety had been nothing more than a reflex.

“Thank you,” Claudia murmured, taking two steps back before deciding to slip away from the thickening crowd.

“Leaving already?” Randall asked.

“Yes. I’ve got some things to take care of.”

She had no desire to squeeze through the packed room–and besides, she needed to drive back to the countryside today.

“I’ll walk out with you,” he said.

Chapter 756 Jaden’s Plea

Claudia didn’t object.

Randall fell into step just behind her, as if they were leaving together.

Once inside the elevator, Claudia began to feel uneasy.

Lately, it seemed she’d encountered more men in the past two months than in her entire life and every bit of trouble she’d faced recently had come because of one.

She needed space.

When the doors opened, she made a point of stopping by the restroom.

By the time she came out, the man was gone.

She let out a slow breath and made her way out of Willow Studio.

But just outside, she ran into another familiar figure.

Harold.

He wore his usual long–sleeved shirt, legs crossed casually under tailored dress pants as he leaned against her car. One hand was tucked in his pocket, the other holding a phone to his ear.

He knew Jaron–probably here to show his support.

Claudia didn’t overthink it. She walked over, and he ended the call.

“What are you doing here?” she asked, feeling her cheeks warm.

“Just in the neighborhood. Dropped off a gift.” Harold’s eyes traveled over her outfit, and he swallowed lightly.

That morning, he’d gotten a message from Lowell and couldn’t resist coming to see her.

“You didn’t drive?”

“No.” Harold slipped his phone back into his pocket and held out his hand.

Claudia fished her car keys from her bag and passed them to him.

Something flickered in his eyes, and the faintest smile touched his lips.

He slid into the driver’s seat; Claudia took the passenger side.

“I need to head back to the countryside. Should I drop you off at home first?” She still wasn’t quite comfortable with this.

But he said he had nowhere else to be–he’d ride along.

Claudia nodded and didn’t ask anything more.

As he drove, Harold kept glancing at her from the corner of his eye. He nearly ran two red lights and decided if he kept this up, he’d end up causing an accident.

Claudia, lost in her thoughts, didn’t seem to notice.

About half an hour later, the car came to a stop outside the countryside house.

The yard was perfectly tidy, as though someone had been maintaining it.

She stepped out and was about to walk inside when Harold caught her hand.

“Wait in the car,” he said, his expression turning serious.

A wave of nervousness washed over Claudia–fear and worry tangled together.

She did as he said, hurrying back into the passenger seat.

Harold moved toward the house.

Claudia pressed her face close to the window, watching his back as he walked.

He unbuttoned his cuffs as he went, rolling his sleeves up to his forearms. Sweat had begun to dampen his black shirt, tracing the lines of his broad shoulders and back.
