Wedding I

" Carl, I want to stop at the department first, " Clara said and turned to him after they arrived at the company. She needed to thank Derek for the gift.

Carl frowned slightly and stopped the car. " Who do you want to meet?"

" M..My friends" she stammered with a grin, not daring to meet his gaze and started unbuckling her seat belts.' Hmph, jelly jar. How did he know that I wanted to meet someone.'

Carl stared at her fake smile and his frown deepened. he was about to say something when his phone started ringing and Clara sighed in relief.

He answered the call and after listening to the voice from the other end, his expression turned dark and nodded a reply then hung up the call.

" Don't go anywhere. okay,? wait for me inside__ I'll be back in a few hours.

" Okay." Clara nodded with a smile then walked out of the car and bid him goodbye.
