Chapter Six

Everybody eyes were on the TV, Richard was the closest to the television, his feet were moving has the time got nearer.

After a minute, Ricky company secretary appeared on the screen, she was tall and brown in complexion. Klaus couldn't help but look at her more, this is Helen Freeman, she wasn't bad at all.

Helen was representing the CEO, Mr. Marshall. She thanks all bidder for their participation, everybody came closer when she was reaching the point of announcing the winner. Klaus remained in his position, his hands moved a little as Helen was reaching the last statement.

“We got our winner already. Thank you!” Helen left the media.

There was nuclear explosion in the living room. Klaus eyebrows pushed down, he was shocked that Helen didn't mention the winner, his face harden the more when everybody drifts their gaze to him.

“Look what you have caused, you useless being!” The closest to him sounded. Richard tightens his hands, “you have drags us to the mug, you fool!” Richard wanted to punch Klaus.

they held him, “leave me alone, let me teach this fool a lesson” Richard drags with them.

Clara step to Klaus front, she was going to defend him from her roaring brother.

“Let me teach this bastard a lesson, how dare you tarnish the Baker family image” he roars. Richard finally talks about the bet.

“We can all see Clara wasn't winner, Klaus, Remember what you said!” Richard arranges himself.

“Yes!, get out from our family!” everybody uttered one after the other.

Clara looks at Klaus, she was starting to get frighten.

“The winner wasn't announced!, you can't come to conclusion quickly!” Clara fends off their attacks.

Klaus was standing behind Clara, he was burning inside, his face hardened the more when their voices covered his ears but whenever the case may be Klaus was confident he will win, after all he owns the company. Klaus face Richard.

“If Clara wins, our baby will become the sole heir and inherit all the Baker property” Klaus sounded like a Sherman, everybody couldn't help but burst out, even Clara was shocked. Klaus was so confident about this, she has never seen him like this before.

“And if she loses” Richard couldn't help but mentioned that again. His belly almost burst from Klaus hilarious words.

“If I lose, Clara will marry Mr. Harold, I will be the best man for their wedding and I will disappear from Clara life after that” Klaus drops another bomb, everybody burst out again, even Mrs. Baker lips moved, she has been cursing Klaus silently since she got here but seeing him leading himself into catastrophe she couldn't help but smile.

God has finally answered her prays. Finally this useless being will be thrown out from the Baker family. Richard was trying to calm his chest, but the words were too funny. Klaus was surely a madman. Richard turns to face him.

“Then, it's a deal!” Mrs. Baker replied.

“Klaus….what...are…you… doing.” Clara whispered. Klaus smirked looking at everybody faces.

“Everybody here is my witnessed, there is no turning back” Klaus raised his voice, but it was covered immediately with laughter.

“Klaus, you useless being, we should be the ones telling you that” Lisa coughs out her words. She giggles. Clara has always been retarded has the family goddess, yet she married a madman. Not everybody was lucky she thought, Mrs. Baker had high hopes for lisa, but she is always the family beauty not a goddess.

Lisa enjoys every moment today, she was yearning for the wedding day, she has to careful plan how to humiliate the wasteful being that day.

She wasn't the only one the thinking so, others were planning too, even Mrs. Baker.

Slowly everybody started leaving, they all reminded Klaus of what he just said. Klaus was left alone with Clara, she was wondering what happened to her husband, he wasn't the type that likes to save his face or stress unnecessary things.

“Trust me, Clara, my wife” Klaus looks at her eyes, she nods giving a positive reply.

“I do” Clara said only those two words, she is confused and has no choice, she could only trust and believe Klaus guess fall in place.

Klaus left the house immediately, he took a taxi to Ricky company.

Klaus face hardened the more when he thinks about the humiliation Clara went through a while ago. ‘don't worry, my wife, those people will bow their head on the floor soon’

Klaus arrived at Ricky company, he didn't look at the building, his eyes were on the entrance. He spot Mr. Harold, he was stepping towards the building with a beautiful young woman, the young woman giggles as Mr. Harold was playing dirty, his hands were across her shoulders, his fingers were reaching her chest region.

Klaus looks at him disgust, he was a perfect description of a chameleon spoiled to the soil, he pretends to be Mr. Good in front every gathering and give out remarkable comments, but this fool turns to a wild animal when there is nobody around.

Klaus has come with contact with him seldomly, their first meeting, this man was irritating, and his comment were useless, but people tend to laugh to his foolish words.

Klaus wished he could smack this man head, especially when he started drifting to Clara.

“Klaus Marshall!” Mr. Harold called Klaus name. Klaus frowns, seeing he has been spotted. Klaus approach him, hiding his expression.

“Isn't this the rotten Cabbage of the Baker family” Harold remove his hands across the young lady.

Klaus calm himself, “Mr. Harold what a surprise”

Mr. Harold shook his head forward. “I should be asking that, what business does a madman have in Ricky company”

Klaus face squeezed, he tried to give him a little respect, but he tossed his dignity to the ground.

“Come to beg for work, right, don't you know it's difficult to a get a cleaner's job in Ricky company” the young lady laughed when she heard those words, she was surprised a big shot like Mr. Harold wave such a peasant like this, his outfit was of the poorest material and his shoes seems to have slacked under.

this man must be seeking favor from Mr. Harold. she thought.

Mr. Harold turns to the lady, he wrapped his hands across waist.

“What do you say sweetie, should we help him get a job”

“you're too kind, Mr. Harold” she touched his face. She glared at Klaus, scanning his entire body.

“Help him” she eyed Klaus.

"Hahaha" Mr. Harold laughed out. “You just save a soul” he pulled the young woman closer to himself.

Klaus couldn't help but glare at them, this was disgusting to him, imagine this rat showing interest on Clara. He tightens his hands.

'This baboon dare show interest on my wife'

the young lady left after Harold whispered something to her ears, she giggles walking away. Mr. Harold face Klaus.

“Oh, don't worry. We not dating, Mrs. Baker begged me to look at Clara face, you know she is incompetent for me and the likes of you have touched her with your fetid hands” Klaus hides his shaking fist.

“Well, since your fetid hands has touched her, I won't take her into heart again, I will probably just flex with her then dump her, I can't believe such a goddess married a trashcan like you, it's a pity, some people don't look ahead before they rush into things, Clara is one” he gently said those words. Klaus remains poker to his words, his fist vibrations were only increasing.

“Don't worry Klaus because you saw me today, I will make sure you get the cleaner job” he taps Klaus shoulder before he head to the receptionist.
