Toxic Relationships

...Happy Reading ...

Dean begins to walk in a hurry, after he receives word from Tiffany that Clara is ill. And now he came with a license signed by Mr. Arthur. Actually if it's for Clara, she thinks Mr. Arthur's signature is very unnecessary. But Tiffany urged him to ask for a signature for formalities.

Tiffany herself once told me about Clara's lover who owned a 75% stake in this company. Even Tiffany also tells about the attitude of employees here against Clara. Sometimes the envy of man is appropriate in hell.

After facing Clara's door, Dean stopped and knocked slowly on the door. He did not want to disturb anyone who was inside because of his worries.

“Log in!”

Dean hears Tiffany's voice from the inside, and without saying anything else Dean immediately opens the door and finds Tiffany sitting on the sofa with Clara still asleep on the other sofa. Unwilling to disturb Clara's rest, Tiffany now stands up and walks towards Dean.

“I think Clara has a fever, can you take care of her for a minute? I must replace Clara for a meeting with Mr. Arthur. After that I'll drive him home.”

“Good.”

Without saying anything else, Tiffany now out of the room, it was seen that the girl was in a hurry with a flash in her hand. Maybe it was the file Clara gave him.

Dean's gaze turned to Clara who was still lying on the sofa, she was like a tired little baby. After Dean approached, he stared at the bruised wound on Clara's left cheek. Even two weeks had passed but the bruise did not go away. Dean looked at Clara concerned.

Dean walked over and sat down on the sofa Tiffany had occupied. With such a close distance, Clara's bruising was actually much better than before. Her swollen cheeks turned blue now began to shrink as before.

“Dean, are you here?” Dean gasped as he now looked into Clara's opening eyes. He was caught looking at her while asleep, and that embarrassed her.

“A.aku, Tiffany told me to take care of you se..severa.”

Looking at Dean's face that was starting to turn red, Clara gave a small smile. Why is this guy so cute and innocent at the same time? That makes it look scary. If Dean was a child he would hug him and pinch his anxious cheeks. Dean's cheeks are puffy.

“I brought you a glass of warm tea, no sugar.”

Clara smiled, even one month she knew Dean, the man already knew what he liked, very inversely proportional to Jack. The man only thinks about himself without wanting to know what he wants.

"I know if this isn't the right time Chal. But can I ask you something?"

Clara looked at Dean who looked at her curiously. Clara felt bad feelings. A few minutes ago Tiffany found out about the bruise on her body. Is Dean gonna ask her that too?

"What's up, Dean? What do you want to ask?" Clara is now awake from her sleep. And sipped the warm tea Dean gave her.

“What's Jack been hurting you Chal all this time?”

Uhuk!

“You're talking what Dean?”

“I saw Jack slap you on the day the three of us had dinner.”

Clara was silent, she put the warm tea she was holding. No, Jack's car glass should be reborn, nobody should be able to see it from the outside, Dean shouldn't know this.

“You must have seen Dean wrong, there's no way Jack-“

“I heard all your conversations with Jack in Italy. You didn't turn off my call, I heard you begging Jack not to hurt you.”

Clara was silent she was cornered now. He recalled what happened two weeks ago in Italy. Dean did contact him, but he obviously turned off his call. Is that his fault?

"Honest to me Chal! Has Jack hurt you all this time?" Dean asked back. She wants Clara to be free from a guy like Jack. He wants to help her.

"No, Dean. I don't-"

"I'll help you, I'll help you get away from him!"

Plaque!

Dean gasps when one loud slap is thrown at him. He looked at Clara, now Clara was sitting in front of him with tears. Clara quickly wiped her tears.

“You know nothing about my relationship with Jack, Dean. You must have been dreaming at the time.”

“Chal, you can get a lot better than Jack, you don't deserve to be hurt. Until when do you maintain a relationship like this?” Dean looked at Clara. He does not know Clara has been so lulled by Jack or the girl is even afraid of Jack's threat to her.

“Go.” Clara said slowly, in fact, he did not have enough energy to get angry.

“I can help you Chal, I can get you off-“

“Sign away!”

Clara now covered her face, Dean just sighed and looked at Clara. He was wrong, he should not have spoken like that when Clara's body was dropping. That girl must be getting more depressed now. Dean sighed.

“Sorry, I'm sorry if my words hurt you Chal. I just want to help, and I hope you understand.”

Dean spoke softly and left Clara's room. Leaving Clara feeling depressed. Anybody know Jack's behavior to him now, what's he supposed to do?
