Clara was amused by his words and then went to the bathroom to wash up.
Seeing the toothpaste already squeezed on the toothbrush and the towel on the side, Clara felt warm.
"Kind of like your dad."
Clara chuckled, brushed her teeth, removed her makeup, and went back to the room.
When she got to the room, she saw a note on the table, and it was Neo's writing, "Go to bed, good night."
Clara put down the note with a smile on her face. She got in bed and fell asleep.
And then she continued to live her life. Although she was very tired when she left the company every day, she could always feel meticulous care of Neo for her when she returned home.
Clara suddenly found out that Neo was growing like Horace slowly.
Some of his expressions and movements were very similar to Horace's, but there were still differences, of course.
Horace was relatively gentler, but Neo was kind of domineering.
Clara felt that it was nothing. No matter what Neo was like, he is the result of their love.
As long as he was still with her, it was fine.
One morning, when she walked to the company, everyone was talking about her and some even showed envious expressions.
"What's the matter?" Clara asked the person at the table next to her after she sat down at the workstation.
"Don't you know? You're going to interview the president of a big company."
The people at the next table spoke cautiously, which made her a little confused.
But soon, someone answered her questions.
"Clara, come in with me."
When the editor-in-chief came to the company, she received the message. Now that Clara happened to be here, she decided to call her to the office and talk about it.
"Huh? Okay, coming." Clara looked at the editor-in-chief and felt that something was going to happen, but she obediently followed the editor into the office.
The editor-in-chief took out a report and asked her to sit on the sofa and read the report carefully.
But Clara was stunned when she saw the report.
Was this... an interview with Solrace?
Only then did she know that she was going to interview the president of Solrace.
Not Horace, but Chester Saunders. Clara was so astonished that her mouth was wide open enough to put an egg in it.
She didn't want to go there, but her boss had already assigned this task, so she had to go.
"Um... editor, is it okay if I leave this opportunity to others?"
At least she could try to reject it. What if the editor actually agreed?
"Then you can quit your job."
Well, it seems that she failed.
"Okay, I'll go."
She could only compromise, and then she stayed there to hear the editor's instructions.
Clara walked out of the office and she felt depressed instantly.
She no longer wanted to remember the past, why did they have to force her to?
She had no choice, right?
Clara knew that she could not escape this.
In recent years, she had been refusing to buy Solrace's products and avoiding the company.
"I interviewed the former president, not the current one."
Clara told everyone truthfully, remembering the day they got married, she went to Solrace to interview Horace.
Looking back, it was like just happened the day before, but it had actually been seven years.
"Huh?" The others didn't understand her answer, and when they were going to ask again, the food had already been served.
The temptation of delicious food was harder to resist, so they simply stopped asking and ate.
It was a happy meal but Clara would've been happier if they hadn't asked that question.
After paying the bill, everyone went back to their homes. Clara also drove home.
Neo was already asleep, she was lying on the bed, thinking about what she had gone through with Horace in the past.
She felt both sweet and bitter.
"Morning, Clara."
Early the next morning, Clara looked at the three people who were already waiting for her and asked everyone to pack up and set off later.
The appointment was at 9:30 in the morning. It was 8:30 at that time and there was an hour left.
Although they only needed fifteen minutes to get there, after all, it was better to arrive earlier, since they were going to meet an important figure.
Clara was called to the office by the editor-in-chief. The editor-in-chief handed the document to her and said, "There are questions we have prepared for you. You can choose a few."
They need to dig out the big news, so they can survive in this industry. Who didn't want to scoop breaking news?
Clara glanced at it, oh god, there were three full pages and it's almost time to leave.
She planned to play it by ear when the time comes.
After all, she was a senior in this industry and she could handle this.
