Chapter 57



“Why don’t you say anything to me?” Clara thought that their behavior was too fishy. She had to force them to reveal everything.

Dave gulped, trying to gain his composure. “Lea ... she is pre-”

“I don’t want to be a burden to the company!” Lea cut Dave’s words. She didn’t want Clara to get hurt. She stared at Dave, hoping that he could cope with the lie. However, Dave had already made up his mind. He decided to tell Clara the truth.

“Lea is pregnant with my child,” Dave stated, looking at his fiancee with sadness.

Of course, Dave’s declaration made Clara and Lea gape, they were in shock for different reasons. Lea’s body trembled. She wrung her hands a few times, hoping the cold sweat would turn warm so she wouldn’t shiver.

The drunken Clara suddenly sobered up. How could her beloved fiance cheat on her?

“Today is not April 1st! So, don’t tell me a silly joke!” Clara replied in a trembling voice. Tears welled up in her eyes. “We’re in love and you’re not cheating on me.”

Dave looked down, tightening his fist. He was in deep regret for telling the truth to his lover but he knew that he couldn’t chicken out.

.....

Then, with a little courage left in his heart, Dave explained, “I hope that this is a lie, Clara! But, sadly ... this is the truth. I am sorry I had to tell you this.”

Clara couldn’t hold her disappointment. She vented her anger at Dave and gave him a hard slap on his left cheek.

She realized that nothing could be changed with this, but she was sad. She didn’t know what to do but slap him.

“You, jerk, Dave! I thought that you were the one for me, but you are not!” She continued slapping her fiance, making his cheek turn deep red.

Witnessing this heartbreaking sight, Lea could not stay still. She grabbed Clara’s hand and asked her to stop beating Dave.

“Don’t touch me with your dirty hands, you evil whore!” Clara glared at Lea, daring her to prevent her from slapping Dave.

“Clara, please stop it! It was my fault! You can punish me. Not him!” Lea pleaded, begging Clara to stop. “We were drunk, I was the one who persuaded him to do a one-night stand with me!”

Clara stopped for a moment. She turned her attention to Lea who was tightening her grip on her wrist. “What did you say? You were the one who seduced him?”

Lea gulped, “Y-yes!” she said, stuttering her words.

“So, we have the little whore here ... unbelievable! I thought that you were innocent. Who knew that it turned out everything was because of you!” Clara whispered in a dangerous tone. She raised her hand, about to slap Lea’s cheek. Lea closed her eyes tight, preparing for the worst.

Lea waited for seconds, expecting a hard slap landed on her cheek. However, who knew that there was nothing even when she waited for quite a long time? When she opened her eyes, she saw Dave was holding Clara’s hand, saving her from danger.

“What is this, Dave? Are you trying to protect this lowly slut?” Clara asked in disbelief. She mocked his action, unpleasantly sneering at him.

“Clara, she is pregnant. Please spare her!” Dave begged, he stared at his fiancee with a pleading but serious look. “You know that no one can make a baby alone. I was, of course, also at fault. I deserve to get my punishment.”

Clara finally gave in. She lowered her right hand, shoving Dave’s hand away. She didn’t say anything in response but slowly turned her back and walked away.

“Clara!” Dave shouted, trying to stop his fiancee from leaving.

But it was no use. He knew more than anyone else that no one could approach her in this state. She was beyond hurt. She was betrayed by her beloved one.

Even if their relationship was arranged by their family, for the sake of business matters, they sincerely had feelings for each other. They loved each other just like other lovebirds in the world. Who knew that their sacred and loving relationship had to end miserably like this ... it was because of a one-night mistake.

So sad. It was just a drunken one-night stand but Lea got pregnant that night. The consequence was too heavy. Because of that, Dave and Clara had to sacrifice their years of a happy relationship.

“Dave, don’t you think that you have to chase her?” Lea pleaded, asking Dave to fight for his love.

“I don’t think that she will like it!” Dave refused her suggestion.

“Dave, you will regret it later. I was angry to find William with Paula. I really hoped that he tried his best to win my heart,” Lea encouraged her ex-boss to chase his fiancee because she knew that he loves her with all his heart. “Don’t disappoint her, Dave. Do your best when you still have the chance.”

“But, the baby-”

“Dave, we will talk about the baby later! For now, chase her! You told me she is the one for you!” Lea’s eyes glistened with tears. She hoped that Dave would listen to her. They were at fault, making the worst mistake, but it didn’t mean that they couldn’t make it up.

Dave looked at Lea in hesitation. He didn’t expect that she was that kind of girl. He expected that Lea would pester him to death, using the baby to blackmail him.

Seeing the unmoved Dave, Lea reached his hand, gripping his palm with soft pressure. “What are you waiting for, Dave? Get your love back! You and Clara are meant to be together,” Lea said again.

“Lea, please wait for me here. Don’t go anywhere! We will talk later, okay?” Finally, Dave managed to erase his doubt.

Lea nodded as if she agreed to wait for him patiently. But of course, she would not. She already had her own plan.

***

Clara entered the cab as soon as possible. She didn’t want Dave to get her. She loved him with all her heart. If he managed to catch her, she was afraid that she would give in so easily.

“Where are you going?” the driver asked since Clara didn’t say anything.

“Just drive, please!” Clara replied, holding her tears so she didn’t sob.

The cab driver then drove away, leaving the hotel immediately. Clara looked back, finding Dave who just came out of the hotel’s main entrance. She could tell that he was desperately looking for her. But, she deliberately ignored him. It was no use talking about things in this situation. She didn’t want him around.

The driver already drove for ten minutes. However, Clara still had no intention of telling the driver where to stop. Then, the driver patiently kept going for another minute. Once she saw a bottle shop, that’s when Clara told him that she would get off.

“How much do I owe you, sir?” Clara asked.

“45 bucks, Miss!” the old driver replied.

Clara took her purse to take some money. She then gave him 60 bucks.

“You can keep the change. Thanks!” She said, forcing a smile on her face.

She got off the cab and walked to the liquor shop. She picked one randomly since she had not had much experience with drinking. She was never a fan of drinking. She didn’t usually drink her problems away, but she just wanted to drink this time.

She paid at the cashier and walked out of the store, carrying a long and thick red paper bag that fits the bottle well. She kept walking, trying to find a nice place to spend her time. That’s when she saw a nice and cute-looking bakery and cafe.

“Sakura bakery and cafe ..., looks nice,” she muttered to herself.

Clara entered the store and got even more amazed by the pinkish interior design. Unexpectedly, it could soothe the pain in her heart a little bit. The place was spacious and comfortable. She liked it.

The cashier greeted her with a warm welcome. Clara then came closer to choose some cake she liked.

She put a souffle cheesecake, a slice of cheese chiffon cake, and an egg tart onto the tray. Then, she ordered a cup of hot matcha latte.

When paying the bills, she asked the cashier, “Why don’t you have liquor here?”

“We don’t have the license to sell liquor, Miss. Sorry for that,” the cashier replied kindly.

Clara nodded and then she chose to sit at the corner of the shop. She sneaked in the liquor and intended to drink it there.

At first, no one noticed that one of the customers was drinking but as time passed, the waitress noticed what Clara was doing and reported her to the manager.

“Monica, there is a lady drinking liquor over there,” the waitress told her boss. “Shall I ask her to stop? Or leave? Since it’s almost time to close the store.”

“Where is she?” Monica asked her subordinate.

The waitress brought Monica to see Clara and then Monica was surprised to find how wasted Clara was.

“Miss, our store is about to close in ten minutes. Could you please finish your meal soon?” Monica asked her customer politely.

“Exsqueezmee, who are you?” The wasted Clara lost her graceful attitude.

“I am the manager,” Monica replied.

“I don’t want to leave. I will stay the night here.”

Monica tried her best to handle that drunken lady but she failed. Clara kept shouting, mocking Monica’s social status. Clara was not the one insulting people because of wealth. However, this time was different. She was drunk, and so it happened.

Luckily, there were no customers left in the store. If there had been some customers in the store, Monica would have immediately asked Clara to come into her office to isolate her from public sight.

Monica was about to call the police when the waitress approached her. “Maybe, we need to ask a guy for help.”

“A guy? Who? She is not a cute and small lady ... not an easy-to-handle one.” Monica reluctantly agreed to the idea.

“But Samuel is still here.”

“Oh! Good. Then, call the hot janitor right now!”
