'Argh!' But that's not the most important thing. They just want to fish out information from her, however this new rule.
Clara who was totally oblivious to the employees' gazes sighed in relief as she finished the task the manager had just assigned her.
She brought out her phone with a huge smile and started working on her new favorite app.
"This is great." She clicked her tongue with a chuckle while being engrossed in the phone.
After some minutes, a sound suddenly brought her out of her fantasy and she glanced up with a gasp. "Oh, it's you," she muttered with a soft smile while staring up at the guy who had suddenly entered her cubicle.
"Aren't you going for the lunch break?" Derek asked her with a small smile while he clumsily adjusted his glasses.
"Huh? Is it time already?" Clara frowned slightly and hurriedly glanced down at her wristwatch then her eyes instantly widened. The lunch break will be over a few minutes from now because thirty minutes had already passed.
"Yeah." Derek slowly nodded then his attention turned to her phone's screen whose light was still on. "What are you working on?" He asked softly while staring down at the comic drawing app.
"Hehehe, this?... It's my new way of making money," Clara replied with a chuckle then turned off her computer and stood up.
Derek made an "Oh." sound then slowly nodded with a smile. "That is great," He said with a soft chuckle and they walked out of the cubicle toward the elevator.
The other employees whose minds were still burning with gossips sighed helplessly as their eyes followed the pair. Just what happened between her and the CEO? And why is she acting so cheerfully?
Derek sighed as he watched the girl's back, also wondering why the CEO had stopped working with her. A small smile appeared on his lips as they entered the elevator while another sigh escaped his lips.
'Urgh' Clara rapidly pressed the downstairs button as hunger had started building up in her stomach, she glanced sideways at Derek who had on a small smile on his lips then chuckled. "Derek, is something wrong?"
Derek turned to her and was about to answer her question when his eyes darted to her back and a small gasp escaped his lips while his eyes widened tremendously.
Clara stared at his shocked expression and her brows furrowed slightly. She glanced back and also noticed what he was staring at. Her frown deepened and she wondered why his reaction is this big, as she had also noticed them after walking inside the elevator.
Zach's eyes widened slightly as he watched the girl who had only given them a glance and turned back toward the other guy. "S...Sister-in-law!?" He stammered and felt a cold glare beside him.
"Huh?" Clara frowned and turned from Derek who seemed like he had lost his tongue. She watched the two guys in confusion wondering who had spoken among them.
"Oh... sorry, I... I have mistaken you for someone else," Zach quickly muttered after receiving a glare from his brother and he sighed inside while staring at the girl's confused expression.
Carl's eyes were fixed on the girl and he felt his heart throbbed painfully while his grip tightened on the phone in his hand. 'Clara.' He sighed inside and softly watched the girl who had already turned her back to them. He had intended to pass by her department to see how she was doing. But seeing her now__ he snapped out of his thoughts and glanced at the guy who was standing with her then his expression slowly darkened.
Clara tapped her foot on the floor with one hand splayed on her stomach. She feels so uncomfortable, standing alone in an elevator, with three men. But that is not the most important thing now, as she felt like she would faint from hunger any moment from now.
She rushed out of the elevator immediately it came to a stop, even forgetting about Derek who had now gotten out of his trance and also left the elevator after hurriedly greeting the two powerful men.
Zach watched with a dropped jaw as the elevator closed on them, still trying to comprehend what had just unfolded. "Big bro, I think something is wrong with her... I mean, apart from losing her memory," He muttered while turning to his brother whose eyes were also fixed on the door and he sighed heavily.
" Mm... She's hungry."Carl shook his head with a chuckle then heaved another sigh.
"Oh... I see." Zach nodded and also chuckled. "Hehehe, sister-in-law is really__" He did not get to finish his words as he received another glare from his brother then quickly clamped his mouth shut.

**At The Cafeteria**
Derek frowned slightly as he watched the girl who was eating hurriedly with a nonchalant expression.
After seeing her reaction with the CEO a while ago, he was even more confused and he could remember hearing the CEO's brother called her sister-in-law, what had really happened between them?.
"Derek?" Clara glanced up at the guy whose gaze was fixed on her while she gulped down the water. "Is something wrong," she asked worriedly and watched as he quickly shook his head.
"Easy... you might get indigestion," Derek said softly and handed her tissue, seeing that she had finished the food on her plate then he also turned to his half-finished food.
Clara chuckled and quickly wiped her mouth then picked up her phone and started operating it. Her eyes darted around after a while, and she noticed that some employees were glancing at her as if wanting to say something.
'What is wrong with them?' She frowned slightly then shrugged and stood up as the guy had also finished his food then they started walking back to the elevator.

__ The Next Morning __
Walking inside a room, Lily laughed softly as her eyes landed on her sister who was busily folding clothes in her luggage.
She carefully closed the door then walked toward her and sat down on the bed. "Big Sis, Jack found you a really nice apartment... you're going to love it, and you're not going to be lonely, " She said softly while helping her fold some of the clothes.
