After last night, Claire managed to sleep at 4 am. But not for long. At 6am he woke up.
His eyes look striking when he just woke up. Her mother was angry because yesterday her mother had also waited until 10 pm but Claire had not come home.
Negative thoughts have taken over his mind. I must have thought no. Don't let the neighbors know about this. What people say later.
"Where were you last night?" ask mom
"I told you, Mom, me and Claude left because there was a sudden need with a friend" Claire replied with a sleepy look
"What's the point of going home in the middle of the night, huh?"
"Mom doesn't need to know what it is"
"Oh, don't you spend the night with the guy who always picks you up?"
"where possible. I didn't do anything. Get rid of your negative thoughts"
"Don't lie" mom snapped at Claire
"I'm not lying. He picked me up because we had the same friend. And I came home the night because our business was long"
"How can you prove your point?"
"You can ask him directly, ma'am"
"Oh yeah?"
"Of course"
"Don't you dare lie to me"
"Trust or disbelief depends on the mother herself. I've been honest"
"This time I believe you, Claire. Next time don't be like this again"
"It depends on mom" too"
"Whatever. I've prepared food for you. Soon breakfast or your stomach will hurt" said mom leaving Claire alone in her room
Claire immediately mendi to clean herself up and breakfast the mother's cooking. Mother's cooking is always perfect on her tongue. And always be the best.
When Claire returns to her room to lie down, she finds her phone vibrating indicating a message has come in. The message came from an unknown number. About who?
^^^"Good morning, Claire. How you doing?"^^^
^^^"Well, who is this?"^^^
^^^"Okay. Don't you know? guess it then"^^^^^
^^^"What is clear is that you opened my boss. Because my superiors always call me Miss Claire"
^^^"That's exactly. Then who am I?"^^^
^^^"Maybe Selby or Haran"^^
^^^"Your guess is correct. I'm Selby, not Haran"
^^^"I guessed. Must be one of you"^^
^^^"Hahaha, your instincts are good. Have you heard, Claire?"^^^
^^^"What?"^^^
^^^"Our night's turn was put on a mission by Mr. Shibe"^^
^^^"Oh yes?"^^^
^^^"Yes!! he said it was a mission to find out the identity of a secret professor"^^
^^^"Oh"^
^^^"I was very happy when I got the news. See you tonight"^^
^^^"Yes"^^
The activity of exchanging messages between Claire and Selby ended. Turns out this was what Mr. Shibe called yesterday. His partner's help turned out to be Selby. Good, doing missions on known people will be easier.
...****************...
Mom told Claire to go shopping to the nearest supermarket. Claire went on foot. The supermarket is not too far away. You could also say close.
When he arrived at the supermarket, he was busy choosing the taste of food.
"Soto taste or chicken curry?" muttered
Someone accidentally slashed Claire's back. Not too loud. But managed to make the item Claire held fall.
"Sorry miss"
"It's okay"
The person who killed him was a man. His age is young. The man helped Claire pick up the falling items.
Claire's gaze was fixed on the man's face. Not surprised by his good looks, but...
"Allan" Claire said with a surprised expression
Claire leaves Allan. Go out the supermarket. Want to go back to his house. His expression was like lazy to look at Allan. There is a conflict between the two of them.
When he was about to leave. Allan pulled his hand. Claire's getting uncomfortable seeing this. He pulled his hand back violently.
"What do you want?" claire asked, looking away from Allan
Allan was still silent on the spot. Not saying a word. Most likely he was confused as to what to say to answer Claire's question.
"A-ano" Allan replied
"If there's nothing to talk about, I better go" Claire was about to leave Allan again. But Allan pulled his hand
"Do you want to be my girlfriend again?" said Allan in a quick tone
"What do you mean?"
"I just said it"
"A few months ago you asked me this question too. My answer is still the same. NO!!!"
"I beg Claire. It was just your misunderstanding" Allan pleaded with Claire by crouching down and holding Claire's hand tightly
"What's the reason you're asking for all this?"
"Because I love you so much, Claire. Please accept my request"
"By begging? don't expect me to be your lover!"
"Why? why do you always reject it?"
"Because I already have a lover"
Now Allan put on a surprised face. She was very, very surprised to hear Claire had a lover and it wasn't her.
"really?" ask Allan in disbelief
"Why am I lying? Then I'll leave first"
"Wait, can you prove that you already have a boyfriend, Claire?"
Claire put on a flat and cold face. Trying to silence his confused feelings. Who should he contact to prove to his ex-lover if he has a lover?
"How's this? Who should I call? Why would I lie to Allan? Now I'm caught up in my own lies" Claire said in her heart
He calls Claude to help him get rid of his ex-girlfriend. And try to create a trustworthy state.
"Happy" Claire answered Allan's question earlier
He had sent a message to Claude. Then he called her to make things look real.
"Hello, honey. I met my ex-boyfriend at a supermarket near my house. Come here to prove that I already have you" Claire said on her phone with Claude
"Yes darling. I'll be right there"
Calls closed. Now it's just waiting for Claude to come so Allan can believe his words. And so that Allan no longer pursues his love.
Waiting for Claude's arrival also took quite a long time. Actually Claire does not want to trouble her work partner in her personal affairs. But what can I do? he doesn't have Haran's cell phone number, his boyfriend.
A car came over to Claire and Allan who were standing in the middle of the road. Look at Allan's face that doesn't believe it. It turns out her ex-boyfriend really already has a lover again. His replacement.
"Hello dear" said Claude
"Hallo too baby, this is the man I told you about. He's my ex-lover. Name's Allan. Allan kept on chasing my love. Though I already have you" Claire said in a pampered tone to Claude
"Hi bro's. You're Claire's ex-girlfriend?"
"Yes bro. I guess Claire still doesn't have a boyfriend. It seems yes. Take good care of him, bro. Replace me" Allan said to Claude as he shook his hand
"Surely bro"
"Then I leave first. Thanks for the time. See you, Claire"
Allan leaves Claude and Claire. Their love story drama is successfully executed. As fellow agents of a secret organization, it should indeed be able to help each other.
"Sorry Claude. I've got to draw you to my personal business"
"It's okay, Claire. Partners must help each other. If I need help, I'll call you"
Claire nodded as she said yes to Claude. He's correct. Partners must help each other.
"Then I'll go first. See you, Claire. Tomorrow night we'll see each other again" Claude drove up to his car. Leaving Claire alone. Because of the small disturbance, he has not bought the materials needed by the mother.
Claire went back to the supermarket. He bought something he had not bought. It's really troublesome. Had to waste a lot of time kan~ huft.
On the way home. He became the thought of tragedy about Allan the former lover. Claire kept pondering on the street. Until he decided to stop and sit in a place where there is a vast green meadow and shady trees in the middle.
"What makes Allan always chase after me?" claire muttered in the middle of her daydream
"I'm sure she must have been very disappointed when she found out I had a boyfriend. Gosh darn. If he knew that it was just a drama between work partners. Hahaha~"
"I'd better go home. You can't waste too much time. I'll definitely scold me again because I came home late"
Claire left the shady tree that had become the back of her daydream. Maybe that place is special to Claire. Let it.
