Clara had some disappointment on her face and felt her heart breaking, wondering why she even felt sad about it. she felt disgusted at the lifestyle and had high expectations for Mr.Matthew. Unsure what she should say, she instantly leaned back into her bed.
Sarah wraps her arm around her best friend offering her comfort in her embrace, I don't know if you had your hopes up, but girl he's not a good person, and all these could be part of some mischievous plan he has for you, must be careful around him.
After two days of gainful rest, Clara felt a mix of emotions in her stomach, she was feeling anxious and excited as she prepared to return to work. she walks downstairs meeting Maria, to remove the bandage from her head carefully ...
She walked to the mirror in the sitting room and saw a thin scar marred on her forehead, hoping it would clear over time and be a constant reminder of the recent accident. Turning her head towards the kitchen she said …..
"Maria, I feel completely recovered," Clara said with a determined tone. "You've been wonderful, but I don't think I need your services anymore."
Maria shook her head gently. "I understand, Miss Clara, but Mr. Matthew paid for my services. You need to speak to him first to relieve me from this service also I made a lunch pack for you."
Hearing the name of Mr. Matthew sent a cold shiver down Clara's spine, changing her mood. Since learning more about her enigmatic boss, she couldn't help but feel uneasy in the thought of who he was. Yet, the Idea of a $7,000 monthly salary was a life-changing opportunity she couldn't pass up.
She Braced herself, shaking off the goosebumps. "I'll talk to him," she said, in a subtly tone almost non-audible to Maria. She grabbed the lunch Maria had prepared and headed out the door. To her surprise …..
Mr. James, the security detail, was waiting beside a sleek black SUV. "Good morning, Miss Clara," he greeted her with a nod. " ready to drive you to work."
Clara's eyebrows shot up in surprise but she managed a polite smile. "Thank you, Mr. James. Remembering her conversation with Maira, "She slid into the car, her mind racing with thoughts about the day ahead.
The drive to the company's building was quiet and quick. Clara watched the cityscape pass as they moved by, rehashing her conversation with Mr.Matthew, trying to calm her nerves.
When they arrived, she took a deep breath and stepped out of the SUV, thanking James once more before walking into the Grand Building. walking inside she's greeted by the door security, meeting the familiar ambience of office activity.

Clara walks to her post, sets her bags down, and settles into the routine tasks set for her. As she focused on her work, picking a file ready to head Upstairs to deliver, she looked up and her eyes met Mr.Matthew walking through the door and Clara's heart skipped a beat.
She drops a file that jolts her back to reality, picking them up she heads towards the elevator, hoping to avoid a confrontation, just as the door closes, Mr.Matthew steps inside, and Clara turning finds Mr.Matthew standing beside her. The confinement of the elevator made her discomfort and her heart beating rapidly.
"Clara," Mr.Matthew began, his voice tinged with surprise and concern. "Why are you resuming work already?"
Clara felt a chill running down her spine standing so close to Mr.Matthew. She took a deep breath and met his gaze ..... "I'm feeling much better, Mr. Matthew. I didn't want to fall behind on my responsibilities."
Mr. Matthew's eyes softened as his eyes meets the scar on her forehead, "I see. But your health is more important. You should have taken more time to recover."
Clara struggled to maintain her composure." Thank you sir, but I really feel recovered, also I would like to ask you to dismiss the aids you assigned to my care sir." while he was about to respond the elevator dinged and the doors opened, tension filled the air, a silent understanding felt between them.
Mr. Matthew steps out heading to his office, greeted by his PA almost walking into his office ...…
His phone buzzed in his pocket, " BUZZING"
a new message from an UNKNOWN NUMBER .....

Fear graps Matthew as he leans into the seat behind his luxurious desk as he asked Mary to come back he needs to be alone his mood changed immediately …
He sent a message back to the Blackmailer,
"What do you need, I will give. I can't afford this scandal to ruin my reputation."
Waiting for a reply from the Blackmailer, he picks up the telephone by his side and makes a call to Mary, "Come to the office and let me know my Itinary, and drops the telephone disconnecting" …..
Mary walked into the Office, speaking to Mr.Matthew about his activity, his attention was pulled away from Mary, by the sound of his email alert. " TING …"
Opening His Inbox, he saw a new message from the hospital that had discharged Clara
"Subject: Medical Results for Clara Rodriguez"
His heart pounded anxious about what to see as he clicked the email open. The results are attached. He downloaded the file, Looking up as Mary called his attention and he answered her unsure what she was talking about but said "Okay Mary do it".
She had a shocked expression but didn't want to pry more as she saw he was busy on his laptop and his countenance was worrisome, so she walked out of the office.
looking back to the screen of his laptop, His hands were trembling slightly as he proceeded to click open ......
The moment of truth was now, Is Clara carrying his Heir? Is His child safe? what is he to expect from the Blackmailer will they take his offer or expose him?
