Klaus returned home after having a chat with the mayor. He spent the remainder of the morning, going through the paperwork. He decided to reduce his direct involvement in this.
He has no time to micro-manage everything. He decided to let his subordinates take care of that. He would only see the overall workings.
Klaus was in half mood to spend time with Clarissa and Liliana before his family arrived. He wasn't sure when they would arrive. There was a high chance that they would be here by evening or night.
So he decided to get the deed done before evening.
After having lunch, he is going to call Clarissa to his room.

Clarissa entered Klaus's room as instructed. He was already on the bed, waiting for her.
Looking at the shy girl, Klaus took the lead to speak, "Clarissa, I know we never spoke again after I left for the academy. It was bad on my part and I was being selfish".
