Lost in Mr. Preston's Temptation novel Chapter 45

 

As soon as Clara came out of the interview room, she received Baxter’s WhatsApp message, “Madam, have you finished your interview? I’m in a restaurant on the 22nd floor.”

She received a temporary employee card and took the elevator to the restaurant.

The EMC Group’s building had a total of 53 floors, and the entire 22nd floor was a restaurant divided into four areas. The EMC employees, including the interviewees, were all eating here.

Clara saw Baxter chatting with someone at the door when she arrived at the restaurant’s area A.

Although Baxter skin was a bit dark, he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his facial features were pronounced. His suit complemented his slender figure, making him look like a business elite.

Standing in front of Baxter was a charming and mature woman. She seemed to have been amused with what he said. She used her hand to cover her mouth and asked Baxter’s for his phone number.

Clara seeing this was speechless for a moment. Then, she quickly walked over, “Baxter Cohen.”

“Ahh.” Baxter immediately stood up straight. Seeing Clara approaching, he revealed a mouthful of white teeth. “Too......”

Clara immediately gave him a warning look.

No matter how inflexible Baxter’s brain was, he still understood what Clara meant. The words on the tip of his tongue changed and he said, “Clara, this is Patricia from the translation department.”

Patricia didn’t seem to pay attention to entertainment news and didn’t recognize Clara. She just smiled and said, “Your sister is exceptionally beautiful. Don’t worry, I will monitor the exam this afternoon. I’ll make it easier for you.”

“Thank you, Patricia!” Baxter thanked her with a grin. “You’re so beautiful and kind-hearted! Please let me treat you to lunch tomorrow!”

Patricia grinned from ear to ear with the praise and quickly left with a cup of coffee.

“When did I become your sister?” Clara gave Baxter a chilly look, “Also, does your brother know that you have this technical job?”

“Didn’t you say that the there are several rounds of interviews for the translation department, and that it’s difficult?” Baxter shrugged and followed her to the dining room, “I’m a respectable and handsome guy. But in order for you to be able to pass the exam, I had to sell my looks and seduce Patricia.”

Clara chuckled, “So, does that mean I still have to thank you?”

“That’s unnecessary!” Baxter raised his eyebrows and said proudly, “I’m much better than Ethan! I’m unlike Ethan, the dignified Mr. Preston, who is unwilling to even open the back door for his wife.”

Seeing that everyone had come to eat, Clara was afraid that his someone would hear him, so she gently kicked Baxter.

At first, Clara had thought that Baxter worked at EMC, but just didn’t have regular working hours, and only came in occasionally. However, when she asked him about it, she realized that he had also come for an interview today.

“My brother told me to follow you closely.”

“There’s no need for that, right? “ Clara didn’t know whether to laugh or to cry. “The company has security cameras on every floor. Can I still have an accident even when I’m at work? “

Baxter remembered the car accident that day and thought secretly: It’s certainly possible...

However, he didn’t say anything of the worries in his heart, and only complained, “It’s nothing to come to work. The key is that I am a computer wizard, and more than good enough to be the technical supervisor, but I still must come over to be interviewed by a few half-assed people. It’s fucked up.”

When picking out their food, Baxter complained again. “Wow, what kind of lunch is this? It’s so plain and barren. Clara, tonight let’s go eat crayfish and drink beer! “

“I don’t think I’ll be able to go out for the next few days. “ Clara said.

She was going to the hospital tonight to get her blood drawn. For the next few days, she couldn’t eat high fat or high calorie food.

“Why can’t you go?” Baxter seemed to be possessed by an actor as he asked aggrievedly, “Do you have another lover?”

“...” Clara looked at him sullenly.
