Chapter 193 - I'm in a relationship

His beating heart against her ears. The movement of their bodies and how he constantly circled his arms around her as if he just just wanted to hold her still.

Clara felt over the moon.

The music stopped and they still held each other still.

"I love you." He said.

"I love you too." She replied.

They pulled apart and he leaned to kiss her. 

Their lips touched and It was a gentle and soft kiss.

She flowed with the movement of his lips and when he pulled apart, his lips sealed to her forehead.

"You're mine." He said.

"I'm yours." She replied. "And you're mine as well." She added.

They walked to their seat hand in hand. The desert has already been set.

They enjoyed their wine and made light jokes, laughing and enjoying the moment.

Clara raised her finger, and Leo watched the wine make a few bubbles in the glass.

"Cool." He said.

"Open your mouth." She said and he did.

Five drops of red wine floats in the air and was deposited into his mouth.

"Awesome!" He exclaimed again.

This went on and on for a while, before they left.

He dropped her off at her house. Another round of kissing erupted, which could have made them have their clothes off, but Leo seemed so gentlemanly till the end and didn't allow that.

But both knew their lips must be swollen already.

He had a sleepless night that was full of beautiful feelings that night. Same as Clara.

....

The day breaks.

Clara dressed up and got ready for the day's work, but her mind has started drifting to Sonya.

She longed to see her more now.

Getting to the company the next day, Clara was expecting gossip and all, but to her surprise, everyone seemed calm and composed.

It's like they have been warned to not talk about it or something.

She walked all the way inside.

It's not like she will mind it anyway. She doesn't have a friend among them and neither does she have an enemy.

They all go about their daily activities and left, without much interaction unless they are in the dressing room.

That's when they say 'hi' 

Maybe compliment each other's outfit and that's all.

After settling down her bag, she decided to go straight to get her makeup done and post with the products she knows nothing about and get her quick bucks as usual.

She was on her way when, "Miss Welch, you are here." Callum's voice was heard from behind. 

He was clad in blue jeans trousers and a white long sleeve shirt. His hair permed all the way back to make his beautiful feature more vivid.

Clara's cheerful mood turned sour immediately she heard his voice.

Ever since she started working at the company, she had never laid her eyes on him, and barely heard anyone speak about him.

But within two days, he seemed to appear everywhere. What on earth did he want?

The necklace Leo gave her the previous night was around her neck. She covered her hair with a cap and refused to ruffled the hair he made for her.

She just combed it slightly and applied oil to make it look shiny.

Turning to look at him, she gave him a smug look. "As you can see." She replied. 

Callum smiled at her boldness. The manner in which Clara speaks to him, if not for his interest in her, he would have kicked her out of the company.

Despite that he was glad that she is stubborn, as most of the girls around him are all respectful and trying to get close to him.

They tried to be what they are not and this girl right in front of him is very special.

The new hairstyle looked so good on her.

Clara saw the smile blooming on his face and sighed inwardly. She mentioned about his disturbance to Leo last night, because she felt that he will still approach her.

She told him the details about how he snatched her phone and gave him a clear explanation on how she tripped and all.

"What do you want?" Clara asked in a helpless tone. Leo had assured her that he is going to take care of Callum for her.

He made her realize that he trusted her and knew she wouldn't cheat on him, but couldn't control his jealousy.

She had no idea how he was planning on doing it, but she wished he does it fast, because Callum is becoming a headache.

She didn't want to use her power on him.

The guy didn't tell her straight up that he wanted them to be a thing, which means she couldn't even reject his request to have a talk.

Just as she expected.

"Let's have a chat, miss Welch." Callum said and gestured for her to follow him.

He put it in a tone a boss will use with their staff, not leaving any room for debate.

She rolled her eyes as she followed behind him. 

They got to his office and he gestured for her to sit down, which she did.

"What now?" Clara asked.

Callum didn't want to beat around the bush since there's a competition.

"I am interested in you, miss Welch." He said.

Clara laughed at his word, not seeming to be freaked at all. "Is that all?" She asked.

Callum felt a bit sad that she didn't even show any positive reaction to his confession.

He took a deep breath and this time, gave her a serious look, while Clara maintained the same expression.

"Can I have a chance with you?" He asked again.

Clara no longer finds him bothersome.

She was amused instead because she felt glad that she had the chance to tell someone about her finally getting a boyfriend.

A boyfriend that has now meant a lot to her. The man she loves.

"Well, I am in a relationship." Clara said and felt her heart beat fast at the declaration.

Ha! She actually has a boyfriend now.
