Bab 77: Helping Him

It was hard for Claire to forget the trouble she was in because the anchor's words kept going over and over in her mind.

As she turned off the TV, she felt a knot of anger form in her stomach, and her hands shook a little.

Everyone could see the deception now that it was out in the open.

Claire tried to pay attention to her work, but the news kept coming back to her mind.

She couldn't get the picture of Joshua with the actress out of her thoughts. Each time, it made her feel worse.

The sadness and worry were too much to handle. No matter how short, she had to get away to clear her mind and decide what to do next.

Claire quickly grabbed her things and left the office, ignoring the looks of interest from her coworkers.

She quickly got into her car and drove to her flat, which was her safe place. Sometimes, when things become too overwhelming, she would escape there to find some form of peace.
