"Miss Clara? Hey? Hello? Are you listening to us?"
"Huh?"
Looking a bit startled when someone was quavering her arms to revive her senses back, Clara seemed much surprised while looking right next to her. It was the colleagues' dinner party which she was attending with a heavy, glum heart after having a big fight with her only bestie, Eva.
She wasn't interested to attend the party in the first place but didn't have a choice since the invitation was from her director. To save her job, though she accompanied her acquaintances quietly, her mind was filled with countless worries regarding the jeopardizing schemes planned against Eva. Moreover, every time she failed to contact Czar which was making her further anxious and madly frustrated.
"Were you...calling me?" Peeking at Miss Maria, her junior acquaintance sitting next to her, Clara inquired in a fragile voice.
