章節 29: Chapter 29
Kelvin returned back home tiredly after spending a lot time with Linda not only at the restaurant but they somehow ended up at the city's Museum. sitting on his bed he quietly removed his tie with his right hand as he scrolled the messages on his mobile phone. some where from the company, while some where from Linda . after getting rid of his cloth , he went into the bathroom for a cold shower .
Few minutes later , he came out from the bathroom,dried his hair and laid on the bed .
"Hnm..." Kelvin breathed out as he closed his eyes with one of his hand latched at the back of his head . going deep in to the Dreamworld , somehow his brain got infiltrated with the image of Claire with a wet hair and a piece of cloth around her . he squeezed his face in his sleep and turn over to the other side .
"f*ck " Kelvin growled as he sat up raked his hand through his hair. he stood up from the bed and left his room . checking the time on the wall clock,he cringed when he saw that it was past twelve in the midnight. standing for some minutes with his hands in his Pijamas pocket as if he was contemplating on something , he finally turn around and went back to his room . and right before he entered,he stole a glance at Claire's bedroom door .
.......
The harsh hit of a chilly wind against the flesh , brought Claire back to planet Earth . stretching on her bed as she stiffed a yawn , Claire's eyes flustered open and adjusted to the bright light . she got up from the bed and went into the bathroom to do her things . minutes later , she was fully prepared for work .
" Azzy" Claire called as she entered the kitchen.
"Good morning ma'am ." upon seeing her fully dressed at that hour ,Azra arched a questioning brow at her .
" what - no , I'm going with Kelvin now , so I have to get prepared early to not waste time ."
For a split of second ,guilt crossed Azra's features but she swallowed the breaking sadness she was feeling .
"Ma'am ," she whispered to Claire as she urge her closer ." Ma - Master has already left ,he said to tell you not to worry that he would fix your car soon ." there was a hint of tear at the corner of the young maid's eyes as she watch the earlier glowing face of her Mistress turn into shock , bitter then sad face as she forced a smile .
" it's alright Azra, you can still make the breakfast." Claire turn around and left . she walked run to her room and knelt down on the floor beside her bed crying . she was so heartbroken and sad . she could barely contain the tears flowing down from her eyes onto her face staining her shirt and erasing her light make up .
After calming down, Claire stood up and went into the bathroom to wipe her nose and her face ,then she left the room and went out for her breakfast before entering her car and zoomed off to the company.

When Claire closed from work she decided to visit her friend at the hospital.
"Hey ." Carole smiled as she hugged Claire immediately she made her self visible.
"Why do you look grumpy? " Carole asked concerned as she held Claire's face tilting it one side gently . " tell me who made you sad ? ".
Claire did not say anything but just hugged her friend tightly.
" No one I just missed you ."
Carole smiled and hugged her back .
" tell me , I'm all ears ."
Pulling away after sometime, Claire told her friend about all that happened from the Memorial service to the present day .she didn't even know that she had started crying along the way .
" Oh dear ," Carole pulled her for a hug ," it must have hurt you a lot ." she said as she rubbed her back trying to soothe her pains . she knew that her friend can only express her sadness and hurt feelings through tears .
After sometime , Carole released her and held her hand as she looked at her earnestly.
"Why don't you look for another job?", Carole tilted her head ," you are good in designing. I would urge you to apply for a job in a graphics company. you would be accepted quickly when they see your talent. hmn." she search her eyes for any positive reaction.
Claire heaved a breath and closed her eyes . " I'm not sure it would do ", she opened it ," I'm still living with him Carl ."..
"But at least Ire ... you would stop seeing all those things and also avoid awkward situations. Moreover ,it's stated in the contract that you got to live the life you want and it's not mandatory to work in his company. is it?. Claire shook her head . " Ehn , so you are free dear to do what you want and point of correction Claire ," Carole lightly glared at her ,
"you are old enough to get married, you shouldn't turn down any man that asks for a relationship. you know this one is sham and would end in few months time ."
Claire could do nothing but nod her head as she wiped the remaining stains of tears on her face .
" I don't want you to cry over Kelvin again , do you hear ?"
"Mm ."
Carole pulled her in for a hug ." My good girl ." she smiled .
