Chapter 13 - Have I Wronged You?

Claire was speechless.

Their marriage was kept a secret from the public, so she never had to follow him to any events at all. Rather, in Asher’s heart, she did not qualify as “Mrs. Kens” and was therefore not asked to present herself to the public.

Many women appeared around Asher, and his companion changed frequently–one would be prettier than another, and all of them had voluptuous, beautiful figures comparable to one another. Why would he need Claire at all?

Claire knew that she was going nowhere with her intentions of getting a divorce.

Claire hastily changed the subject. “Mr. Kens, why are you here in my school?”

“Because you graduated.”

“Is there any other reason?”

“No.”

Claire adjusted herself in her seat and leaned against the window. “Oh, if that’s the case, then I’ll go first. Take care.”

Claire felt that it would be better if she stayed away from Asher.

She could not afford to provoke him, yet she could never escape from him. She suddenly hoped that Asher would forget about her completely.

He was simply too dangerous.

She could never guess what was in his mind, nor could she understand his actions and intentions. If there was one thing that Claire knew for sure, it would be the fact that Asher would never do anything meaningless.

That was also what made Claire so afraid. She turned out to be how she was today all because of Asher’s adoption. What could she offer him, and what made him marry her?

Just as Claire placed her hand on the door handle, Asher spoke, “You can get down now, but just remember one thing–since you graduated, come to the company for your internship.”

“Huh?”

“Come and report yourself to the company tomorrow.”

“What?”

“Ben will explain the rest to you.”

“Me?” Claire pointed at herself and asked in disbelief, “I got an internship in Kens Corporation?”

“Yes.”

“This…” Claire laughed. “I don’t think this is a good idea. Even though our marriage is hidden, I’m still Mrs.Kens. I’ll probably embarrass you if I work in Kens Corporation.”

Claire thought to herself that it must be a big joke. If she happened to work in Kens Corporation, she would have to see Asher every day.

“Didn’t you ask for a divorce just now?” Asher tilted his head and looked at her, who was huddled by the car door. “Why are you now admitting that you’re Mrs.Kens?”

“Well, we’re not divorced yet!”

“Claire, don’t mention that word again, and stop testing my patience.” Asher withdrew his gaze and looked straight ahead. “Just behave yourself.”

Claire straightened her back and wrung her hands as she looked at Asher’s profile.

She took in a few deep breaths and forced a smile. “If all you want was for me to intern in Kens Corporation, then you could’ve just let Mr.Jones or the butler send a word. Don’t worry. Tomorrow, I’ll be there for sure. I. Will. Be. On. Time.”

“That’s good. Get down the car, then.”

Claire gave him a bright smile, turned her head, and got down immediately. She then slammed the car door behind her.

Her fate would always be in Asher’s hands, and she would never be able to change that.

Even after four years, he remained the same and seemed to be even worse than before. He easily decided her future with just a few words.

Claire suddenly understood the reason he enrolled her in the finance unit. It was probably for today–to make her work in Kens Corporation.

Everything was planned out, after all.

Claire turned back to look, but the car window was already up and it blocked her view. She could no longer see Asher.

When Mr. Jones saw her get down the car, he quickly came over. “Madam, please report yourself to the human resource department tomorrow at nine in the morning. I’ll be waiting there for you and I’ll help you settle in..”
