Since the lunch incident with Jacob and also Jessi, Mr.K, and Clara seem a little awkward than before.
Even when the two of them were in the car heading to Mr.K's house, no one started the conversation.
Silence.
Both of them looked awkward, Clara was just busy playing with her cellphone, while Mr.K focused on staring at the road ahead.
A lot of things that Mr.K wanted to talk to Clara, especially about Jessi, but Mr.K seemed hesitant to start the conversation.
'Ughh ... why is it like this ... it's feel weird like this, beside that we're going to Mr.K's house right?' Clara grumbled in her mind.
Clara took a deep breath before starting to break the silence.
"Ahem ... sorry if my brother keeps cornering you," Clara said.
"Ah ... no, it's okay ... anyways, it must be just joking," Mr.K replied a little.
'Why am I like this? Usually, also I will be ordinary,' mumbled Mr. K in his heart.
"My brother sometimes is like that, because my brother knows that I rarely have close friends, and you are now mistaken for a close friend of mine, maybe brother I think you are the only close friend I have," Clara said as she made an excuse.
"It's okay, don't need to be discussed again," said Mr.K in the end. "Ah, before today did you know your brother's lover?" continued Mr.K asked Clara.
Clara immediately shook her head.
"I just knew her today," Clara said.
'Means Clara doesn't know that Jessi is Jackson's sister .... should I tell Clara? ... ah, like now, not now, if Clara knows that means Clara will also see that I investigated Jackson,' Monologue Mr.K inwardly.
"I guess you guys have met or known before," said Mr.K, who has now removed his awkward feelings.
"No, not."
"Well, after this, you take medicine and rest ... you must remember that you have a contract tomorrow ... and in less than two weeks you will go to New York Fashion Week," Mr.K reminded.
"I didn't know that you have the talent to be my assistant," laughed Clara.
"Hei !"
"Awww ..." Clara said suddenly.
"What happened to you?" Mr.K panicked when he heard Clara's ring, even though before he was still laughing.
"It's okay, maybe I was bad when I laughed at you earlier, so my stomach hurts a little," Clara said, holding her stomach a little.
"After arriving home, I will examine your stomach and treat it," blurted Mr. K.
Hearing Mr.K's words, somehow, Clara felt her cheeks heat a little, and her heartbeat a little faster than usual.
Without daring to turn towards Mr.K, Clara tried to neutralize her heartbeat before replying to Mr.K's words.
"I can do it myself," Clara said curtly.
"I don't believe you. I will do it for you, thank me, that I will help you ..."
Clara did not dare to reply, to be honest, she was a little happy because there was someone who was by her side like never before, she was always alone, only Clara hadn't yet fully felt close to Mr.K, so he didn't want to bother Mr.K. Moreover, Clara's status with Mr.K is only a work partner, and Clara is in the Client's position.
"Do you hear me?" Mr.K asked Clara when there was no response from Clara.
"Ah, yes, I'm listening to you."
"Then ?"
"Mmm, well, if that's what you want ... anyway, if I forbid it ... you keep forcing," Clara said softly, stressing the last word.
