The day went on as usual for Claudia, she brought lunch for Davion and ate it together.
This started a rumor around the company that there was an affair between Claudia and their CEO, Davion.
Given that they knew that Claudia was Yohan's lover, but she continued to see her lover's father. Every day making lunch and spending lunch time together in the CEO's office when the employees went to the cafeteria for lunch.
"How strange, shouldn't she come to Marklein's company, where Yohan is? But she keeps coming here to meet Mr. Davidson," said one employee.
"I was thinking the same thing. Could there be an illicit affair between them? I mean... That woman already doesn't want Yohan because he just started his company and chose Mr. Davidson who obviously has a lot of money!" replied another employee who thought that Claudia was a gold digger.
They started talking about it, even the whole company knew about the rumors.
At the same time, a man passed by the two female employees who were talking about it and he immediately scolded them.
"How dare you talk about Ms. Ornella like that! If Mr. Davidson finds out about this, you two will be immediately warned!" said the man who was none other than Davion's secretary, Alex.
"But Mr. Alex, isn't it very suspicious? That woman keeps coming to the company and spending time with a man even 20 years older than her," said one of them trying to defend herself.
"That's right! I'm sure she just wants Mr. Davidson's property."
Alex sighed when he heard that. He himself understood what Claudia's nature was like and how she behaved in front of Davion. How Claudia really cared for his boss.
How could she not?
She came every day with lunch that she cooked herself. Alex even heard how Claudia laughed while telling the story and Davion also chuckled even though it was rare for the man to laugh.
Smiling alone seemed like a rare thing to see every day. But Claudia managed to bring Davion back to life.
"Still, you can't talk bad about Ms. Ornella. She could be concerned that Mr. Davidson would approve of her being with Mr. Yohan. We don't know, but stop talking about those rumors," Alex said firmly and then walked towards the CEO's room not far ahead of him.
He knocked on the door and heard an answer from inside the office allowing him to enter.
"Good morning, Mr. Davidson. I've come with the documents you requested," he said.
"You can put them on my desk," Davion replied.
Alex nodded and placed it on the table. He watched Davion who was focused on his work. He unconsciously kept watching his boss.
"What's wrong?" asked Davion as he realized that his secretary had been watching him since before.
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that... There are some rumors spread in the company about you, Mr. Davidson," he replied.
"Hmn... What kind of rumors are they?"
Alex was silent for a moment before telling about the rumors circulating about Davion and Claudia's relationship.
Hearing that, Davion's hands stopped moving and he fell silent while thinking about something. Alex knew that his boss must have started thinking about it.
"I tried to get them to stop talking about this, sir. But it seems like they're still going to think something like that even though I've explained the situation," Alex explained.
"Ms. Claudia does come to my company every day to have lunch with me. I can't blame the others if they think that about me and Ms. Claudia," Davion said.
It was just that he was already too comfortable with Claudia coming to his office. Having lunch with that woman was like his schedule every day. He also couldn't refuse Claudia's kindness to him.
He knew she was very sincere in helping him and also made the food wholeheartedly.
He didn't want to disappoint her by telling her to stop bringing him lunch.
However, if the rumors continued to spread, wouldn't it also affect his reputation and Yohan and Claudia's relationship?
Davion was really confused in this situation. On the one hand he felt he couldn't refuse Claudia's kindness and also stop being around her. But on the one hand, he also had to respect Yohan as well as Claudia's relationship and also his son's feelings.
"I understand your feelings, Mr. Davidson. But in this case, you also have to think about your own feelings," Alex said.
Davion didn't know what to answer, but he knew he had to make a decision to keep all the bad rumors at bay.
*****
At the same time, Claudia who was busy with her work suddenly received a message from Yohan.
[Shitty Yohan]
Hey baby, can we meet and talk? It's my birthday soon, so I want you to help me with my birthday decorations.
When Claudia read the message, she checked the calendar which turned out to be Yohan's birthday soon.
"He asked me to meet him, so I can take care of his birthday decorations? Maybe in the past I would have gone straight to him and helped him with that. But not anymore," she said.
Claudia clearly remembers that on Yohan's birthday, he asked her to pay for all the decorations and promised to pay for them after the project was successful.
But Claudia knew that after that day and even after 3 years had passed, Yohan never fulfilled his promise to return her money. Instead, Claudia continued to give him all the money she had, even selling everything she owned.
After thinking for a while, Claudia finally decided to go see Yohan anyway.
[Claudia]
Okay, we can meet. Pick me up, okay?
She quickly changed her clothes and waited for Yohan to arrive.
After almost 15 minutes of waiting, he finally came with his luxurious and expensive car stopped right in front of Claudia's house.
"Have you been waiting for me for a long time?" Yohan asked.
"You could say that," Claudia replied.
When the woman approached, Yohan was a bit surprised to see Claudia so beautiful and elegant.
In the past, she had always worn long-sleeved clothes and skirts below the knee.
But this time she wore different clothes, looking like a more modern woman than the boring Claudia of the past.
But of course, she did this not without a reason.
"You look very beautiful today," Yohan complimented her. His face looked interested and tempted by Claudia's appearance.
"Oh you flatter me," replied Claudia who entered his car and hugged Yohan.
They hugs each other for quite a while as Yohan kept rubbing Claudia's slightly exposed back. He could feel her soft skin, even if she felt disturbing when Yohan touched her.
They broke the embrace and smiled at each other.
"Are you ready?" Yohan asked.
There was a look on his face, though Yohan didn't seem to realize what Claudia had planned.
"Of course, I'm very ready."
