Flash Marriage: Slow Down Mister novel Chapter 282

Russell felt it strange that Clara fell into meditation after she had asked him to believe her. He was to ask her what had happened back then, when Clara marched out of the door.

"Clara!" Russell was anxious to stop her, but Clara was seen downstairs in a second, oblivious of his calling.

When she was out of the house, she soon rushed to the curb, grabbed a cab, and told the driver to head for Solrace.

Clara had been restive on the way, wondering how to talk to Horace about the whole thing, and would he believe her? Or would he, as Russell did, think that she had lost the memory?

When she got to Solrace, she didn't check in with the receptionist but went straight to the lift to go to his office.

Fortunately, the receptionist knew her, so she didn't stop her, wondering why Mrs. Kirkland came in such a hurry with a tear-stained face. Had she got into a fight with Mr. Kirkland?

At the thought of that, the receptionist looked at the phone before her hesitantly, wondering if she should call Mr. Kirkland about it.

Well, let them be, as an outsider, she wasn't supposed to poke her nose in their family issues.

Clara didn't see him in his office, and the secretary outside the office told her that Horace was at a meeting and asked her to wait for him in the office.

"Could you go there and tell him that I need to see him right now?" Clara was being unusually tough.

The secretary believed that it must have been about something important as she saw the serious look on the face of the typically congenial Mrs. Kirkland.

"OK, then please bear with me for a minute. I'm telling him right now."

Horace was listening to the executives' reporting when he saw the secretary coming up to him. He frowned slightly, hating to be disturbed in the middle of a meeting.

The secretary came whispering to him, "Mr. Kirkland, Mrs. Kirkland was waiting for you in the office. She said she needs to talk to you."

Hearing that, Horace cut off the meeting. "Just leave it there and we will pick it up this afternoon. Meeting dismissed."

With that Horace got up and went out, leaving the executives glancing questioningly at each other.

Horace came to the in a very early morning calling for a meeting, obviously very upset, so they had to deal with him very carefully, dreading to offend their boss.

Only to their surprise, he dismissed the meeting halfway through it. It looked like they were being treated as the cannon fodder.

Just when Horace returned to the office and closed the door, he saw Clara rushing toward him. She held his hand and said anxiously, "Horace, I'm pregnant with our baby. You must believe me."

Horace looked cold as he heard her, but he still helped her sit down on the sofa.

"Clara, there are things that I can't tell you. Just please do as I told you and get an abortion, OK?"
