Performance

Seeing how out of place she was around everyone, Clara decides it's best to leave.

She looked at the place where her uncle was merrily chatting with some business associate before leaving the premises.

Unfortunately for her, this estate was also one of the segregated areas where rich people live, so she had to walk down the main exit before she would be able to get a taxi to take her home,so she was the only one walking on this lonely and dark street. The guests were probably still enjoying the party. If not, she would be hoping for a lift.

As the night got colder, Clara walked to the intersection of the Villa alone and lonely, holding her exquisite bag tightly and hugging herself, she walked slowly in the cold night..

Half down the sloppy hill, she felt very uncomfortable. She looked around her, seeing that there was no one around. She bent down and took off her high heels. When her delicate foot touched the floor, the cold entered her foot up to her body.

She heaved a heavy sign of relief. Thank God that it was summer. She was not that cold. Fortunately, she was alone here, so she was free to do whatever she wanted. She was so happy doing her solo dance.

A black car was coming behind her at a very slow speed.

Tony, who was behind the wheel, felt like he would probably fall asleep if he went at such a speed. He slowly took a glance at the rearview mirror , only to see his boss busy with his laptop in the back seat and at the woman who was dancing barefooted like a child in front of the car ,wondering if he should call his attention to this or he should just pretend not to see her, after all. He had never seen her this happy since she married his boss.

" Tony, tomorrow take some men to J. group, you know what to do. If the old man still refuses to compile, give the media all the information about him and his companies, if I lose that contract, he will have to go down with it, tell him I left him with two options. First, signing the contract with me and second, signing the contract with me, nothing more, nothing less" Tony could feel the chill inside the car intensifying ' what two options boss, hu? ' he silently whimpered.

" Yes boss " glancing at the woman who was still busy, to notice her audience, there were no street lights on the road should he turn on the headlights. He was so confused, his boss had yet to give his order.

" Catch up " Xavier only took a glance and said indifferently, as though he had just got his freedom. Tony turned on the headlights which illuminated the person in front of him , who was about to sink into darkness. He sped up. He knew his boss had already noticed her. That was probably why he asked him to drive like a snail. He couldn't even count the number of tortoises that had claws past them.

The sudden light from behind startled Clara. Her heart almost jumped out through her mouth, she immediately leaned towards the still dark side to avoid being seen by the people in the coming car, but when the car got right in front of her it stopped, and the driver's door opened and Tony stepped out. On seeing him , she already knew who was in the back seat. She hurriedly hid her heels behind her and pushed her feet under her long gown. Why did he have to show up now?

Tony had already opened the door for her. "Madam please get in " he said. Clara bit down on her lips habitually and she dropped her heels and wore it.

Xavier didn't even spare her a gaze when she sat down beside him. Instead , he was busy typing on his laptop, ' he must have been very furious that I attended the banquet and made him lose an important contract.' Clara was so uneasy sitting beside him like this, so she decided to admit her mistake and apologize.

" Am very sorry, I shouldn't have attended the banquet ". With her head lowered, she nervously muttered an apology, she didn't dare look at him.

" I've told you several times. Whenever you are talking to me you should always look me in the eye , little lamp ." He warned coldly , Clara immediately raised her head. In his cold black eyes she could see her humble self. Her face was only an inch away from hers.

" Am sorry I shouldn't have attended the banquet", she repeated her statement. Xavier slammed shut his laptop and sneered at her " really ?"

His response made it very clear that he didn't accept her apologies.

" I really don't know that it will affect your business. I am really sorry "she proceeded to explain.

He didn't say anything but continued staring at her, sending cold chills down her skin. After a long time, she finally got word from him.

A sarcastic " It's fine "

But , hearing this simple-minded Clara was all smiles, not until he dropped the bomb, his next statement sent her to the pit of hell.

"I am not intending to get the contract by protecting a stupid woman, but anyway, I will get what I want. When I set my eyes on something, I will surely get it, nobody can stop me " 'Was this also the reason, uncle, Invited me to the banquet? ' she wondered. Her grip on her bag tightened, in the bag was the tie clip she wanted to give him but she couldn't even gather up the courage at the moment.

"Actually, you don't have to admit our relationship. She looked away, but Xavier could see her sadness reflecting in her eyes from her reflection in the window and he felt a moment of disorientation.

She has gone hiding again in her "I don't care attitude."

" If I didn't, how were you planning to face public opinion, " he spat out his venomous words.

Clara's face turned pale and she replied to him without thinking " Did your dead girl also have to cope with public opinion ?"

Xavier's cold face turned colder, he reached out and pinched her cheek so hard and sneered with resentment in his eyes," you shouldn't have mentioned her ,you will never estimate what she went through. Even if you die a thousand times, your worthless life won't be compared "

Sure enough, the girl was the trigger.

" Fine, I got it, I will never take it up again "she said, disappointed. At the mention of that girl she saw the hatred and resentment glued to his eyes. Her attachment to that girl could not be replaced, she even wanted to give this marriage a chance and even tried to make herself able to stand by his side.

He let go of her and lit up a cigar before opening the window. The wind from outside blew in, messing up her hair. Wei young immediately pressed it down with her hand, afraid that it would fly into his face or even come in contact with the cigarette.

He flicked the cigarette ash out and asked " shouldn't we talk about your performance today? "

His low voice was like the hissing of a snake, making Clara jump from her seat .

She saw darkness and lust in his eyes, she had already gotten used to his eyes. How would she not understand what he meant by bringing up her mistake? She knows that he wants her but doesn't know how to say it. Sometimes she feels that her husband's self-control is beyond this world. It has been long since they had s*x

She is also a little uneasy about it.

because it has always been him who enjoys it. To her it is a punishment. If she wasn't aware of it, she would have said it was more like a rape.

She had to endure a lot of pain, until he was satisfied. Consequently, times she ended up passing out because of the pain.
