The thing that Clayton was determined to play his role again began. This was because the invitation to the auction had been given to him. He was getting ready in front of a large mirror with a view of himself. In just a few seconds, he was sure that he looked perfect.But a woman looked at him and wouldn't take her eyes off him. "Where are you getting ready? Aren't you going to invite me to the event?" he asked with a look of dislike in his eyes. He thought about their relationship. It had become closer, but why was she getting this cold treatment from her husband?Clayton approached Ahren, who had been watching him. The distance between them became thinner than before. "I'm going to leave for a while to get something done."This was a dangerous job, involving his wife in a matter he never wanted to. After all, it would only make her shocked later, she had recently had a bad experience, and one should just rest at home. This beautiful woman in front of him was a hard worker."You're l
Luke got the woman he wanted and was now happy he was face to face with the item he had bought. He stared excitedly as the woman was released in front of him."Sir, this woman is amazing. You got a great item, she can be used for many things and of course the prices are all healthy." The person from the auction told him so excitedly that he said it. Clayton was also left there to hear his words.Luke brought Clayton inside to see what was going on for himself. And Luke nodded his head. "Yeah, I can see that she's fine. This is good enough to use."He made the transaction quickly so the woman could be taken to where Luke was. He had a decent-sized house that was quite far from the settlement, it could be seen that the surroundings were quite quiet. When he first entered, only a few people were guarding the front. It looked more mysterious and tense.Clayton was curious about what they were doing, which he did by buying humans. Maybe he was enslaving them, but it was a common thing in t
The droplets of water from the shower fell on him, wetting him, and he cleaned himself thoroughly. Now that he was at an inn not too far away, he intended to clean himself first rather than just go home.He had relaxed all his tense muscles, which was more comfortable for him than going straight home, and Ahren would see some blood splatter and disturb his wife.A call came into his cell phone placed on the table. Clayton immediately picked up his cell phone and found Otto's name on it, so he picked up."Mr. Clayton, we've had the cleaning done as well as any matters that may pertain to you." Otto gave his best to his master, giving reports and doing whatever his parents told him to do without asking. Even the messy things he encountered while taking orders from his master were things he was used to.A job done on behalf of his master would make him very lively because that was how he was formed in the first place.Clayton nodded his head after hearing the answer from Otto. He turned
This company party was luxurious, had a nature theme where the party was held outside, and was very beautiful. There were many guests from various companies who came. They used to get to know each other and talk to each other to bring the relationship closer, which was mutually beneficial.The arrival of the two of them, of course, also attracted the attention of the people there, one person was the leader of the largest technology company, while the other was the only person who had worked with the Arnould family company.The two people who had just stepped into the party could immediately see the excited people stepping closer to them. "This is definitely going to be tiring, Clayton. Look at them like hungry dogs staring at us." Ahren said calmly and smiled slightly as if nothing had happened while saying the satirical sentence from his mouth.Clayton rubbed her hand gently, which made Ahren calm down. "Take it easy if it's hard to deal with them if you don't want to refuse directly
Ramon really felt humiliated because of his nephew. People were talking about him in big voices, making him so embarrassed that he couldn't get the recognition given to his nephew. The Astor family's financial situation was also unstable, which made him very uncomfortable.When he saw the woman again in front of him, his body immediately stopped the figure before him, hoping that the woman would at least greet him first and want to apologize for everything he had done so far. After all, letting go of the big family name just like that is the same as a fool. Other people would even try to become members of the Astor family that had always existed.But that was not the kind of thing he got, but a loud statement from Clayton that he had been insulting. "You must be having trouble getting funds for the family?"Clayton spoke loudly. He deliberately did things like that to make the man in front of him angry. The Astor family's downfall was faster also because he interfered in matters like
And a few days later, as Jessica had suggested, they were on a double date at a park with a festival.Ahren was wearing comfortable clothes, seemingly relaxed compared to when she was working. She watched her surroundings with serious and attentive eyes. Likewise, Clayton was watching his wife."Watch out." Clayton held Ahren's shoulders firmly, ensuring she did not bump into anyone else. Meanwhile, his wife only smiled at her husband's response.She looked around, but it was quite difficult to find her friend. "She said she was here, but where is she?" Ahre looked around repeatedly but didn't see his friend, and his importance now frowned."Let's just say that if we wait by the Ferris wheel, he'll find us easily, Ahren," Clayton said his idea. He had also been paying attention to the surroundings. It was quite difficult to look for a familiar person in this crowd. It was the weekend, and many couples were spending time together to stroll around here.The couples seemed to be enjoying
The scenery around them was beautiful, they walked together, holding hands with their own problems. This kind of relaxed atmosphere was immensely enjoyed by Ahren because, in the past, she was swamped and didn't think about her relationship with Clayton. She never thought about something like this. She felt something like this would never happen in her life.Then, there was a crowd in front of them that caught both their attention, and Jessica turned their gaze in that direction, they both looked at each other, and with just a movement of the eyes, they moved together in that direction. "Wow look at that, they're doing amazing archery." Jessica exclaimed with great pleasure, watching people trying to shoot right at the center bullseye.That would give them a high score to get the prize they wanted. Their observations showed none of them had won the game's grand prize.Jessica pressed her lips together subconsciously. Albert was beside her. "Is this the big teddy bear?" Albert pointed
The past was spinning rapidly in the shadows. The history made him into a deep and restless sleep. Clayton opened his eyes hurriedly. His head became heavy and filled with sweat. Ahren was beside him, so he didn't want to make a scene. Clayton finally got off his bed and decided to calm himself on the room's veranda. He closed the door again so the cold air would not enter and make Ahren sick.There was already a bottle of wine ready for him to drink. He watched his surroundings while sipping the alcoholic beverage. He observed a giant moon than usual and then fewer stars, but it didn't attract his attention at all and even took away his thoughts of what he had dreamed of before"They seem to be doing a pretty good job." Clayton gave praise as he observed the workers at the bottom. They were very calmly doing the changeover.They were all people chosen by Otto who could protect their master and also people who could serve their master. Clayton did not doubt them to guard this house, a
