Never See You Again

Claw Sergio walking in the moment she turned around and immediately threw herself into his arms.

"Clara!"

"I thought you weren't coming," Clara mumbled quietly, sounding extremely pitiful.

Sergio gently pushed her away and said, "It's your birthday. I wouldn't go back on my promise."

A gentle flush of red showed up on her cheeks when she heard him say that.

However, he began to frown when he saw how Clara was dressed as well as how the room had been set up. "Sergio, 1-"

"Clara, this outfit doesn't suit you."

Before she could finish her sentence, Sergio had already cut her off.

She froze.

Sergio reached out and turned on the lights properly.

"Did you like the present I bought for you today?"

"I love it."

Clara hadn't completely shaken herself out of the shock of hearing what he just said.

Sergio continued, "I asked Larry to book this room for you so you could invite some friends to spend your birthday with you. It's also close to the university so it won't be a hassle to go to school tomorrow."

Clara froze.

In a cold tone, he finished, "I have some work I need to finish tonight. Try to rest early if you can."

"Sergio, wait!"

Before he could leave, Clara wrapped her arms around him from behind and choked out, "D-Did I do something wrong? Why are you suddenly leaving?"This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Sergio gently removed Clara's arms from his waist. He still couldn't bring himself to say anything too mean and told her in a deep voice, "I would prefer for you to focus on your studies and not be influenced by your surroundings so easily."

Clara felt her heart screech to a halt. By the t time she came back to her senses, he was already gone.

Larry had parked outside the hotel and spotted Sergio, who had only gone inside for a few minutes. He asked in confusion, "Mr. Brooks, I thought you were going to spend Ms. Stewart's birthday with her." "Take me home."

Sergio's expression was extremely chilly. After so much time as his secretary, Larry knew his boss must be in a horrible mood.

Sergio remained silent for a long time.

He had thought of Clara as different from the others because of her kindness and innocence.

After spending so much time around upper-class families and tons of socialites, he had seen almost all the lengths that some women could go to to get what they wanted.

However, he never imagined that the young woman he had practically raised would become the same.

He suddenly asked, "Am I too nice to Clara?"

"Of course you're nice to Ms. Stewart, Mr. Brooks."

"What about Marve?"

Larry finally managed to stammer out, "I-I'd say you're a reasonable husband to Madam, Mr. Brooks. "

Sergio pressed his lips into a thin line. He suddenly thought about what Sharon had said during the Scott family gathering.

It seemed like everyone in Seathview City knew he disliked Marve.

He was the only one who didn't know about all of the rumors about them.

"Starting tomorrow, you no longer have to go fetch or pick Clara up."
