Three years of loving him, three days to erase myself from his world novel Chapter 18

Right before leaving, Nora remembered something. Pausing at the door, she turned back to remind Clara.

"Boss, did you check the group chat? Mr. Lowell is throwing a welcome party for Seraphina tonight, and he expects all of us to attend."

Clara's hand paused as she organized her things. She was about to say she wouldn't go.

When a notification popped up on her phone screen.

Julian: [Remember to come tonight. I have something to tell you.]

Clara's mind went blank for a second. Those words felt like knives stabbing repeatedly into her heart.

How ruthless.

What did he have to tell her?

A reprimand?

A warning?

Heh...

"Boss?" Nora called out.

Clara snapped back to reality, her eyes red. Not wanting anyone to see her in such a pathetic state, she hastily replied, "Okay, got it."

Even without Julian's reminder, holding the position of manager meant she had to go regardless.

"Alright, I'm heading out."

Nora left.

The composure Clara had been maintaining crumbled instantly. She slumped into her chair, looking exhausted and worn out.

She didn't reply to him.

Suddenly, her screen lit up again.

Clara glanced at it.

It was a message from Leo Miller:

[Little Clara, I spoke to the Professor about your situation. He said let's set a time to meet and discuss it in detail tomorrow.]

Clara's eyes lit up, her heart pounding uncontrollably with excitement.

She quickly typed a reply: [Okay.]

She hadn't expected that after three years, the professor would still think of her and be willing to see her.

[Hmph, I won't accept your thanks on his behalf. I'm scared the Professor will scold me. When we meet tomorrow, you can thank him yourself.]

Clara chuckled: [Alright, thank you, Leo.]

[No need to thank me. See you tomorrow. I'll send you the address then.]

Clara: [Mhm!]

After the chat.

Clara finally felt a bit better. Meeting the professor was undoubtedly the best news of the day!

Setting her phone down, she looked at the calendar on her desk, pulled it closer, and drew a large 'X' over today's date.

—Two more days, and she could finally leave this place of heartbreak!

Then, she marked an asterisk on the following day.

—That evening, she would pick up Isabella Gates; it would be the day she exacted her revenge on those two.
