Chapter 5 Turning the tables
Flora hung her head low and concentrated on fiddling with the wine glass in her hand. She would rather be deaf and couldn’t hear and wouldn’t be heartbroken.
Blair took a small box out of his bag and held it up to Clayton, smiling. “A gift for you. Guess what it is?”
Clayton guessed twice, and finally Blair opened the box and said. “It’s a watch! It’s the same one you gave me once!” She said, raising her wrist.
Flora felt like a clown who had intruded into someone else’s world, ridiculous and pathetic.
She was about to get up when Blair’s eyes suddenly turned to her and asked with a smile. “What does Flora have in store for Clayton? I’d love to see it!”
Clayton’s eyes also fell on her, complicated to read.
Flora was silent for a while, looked up and said slowly. “Sorry, I forgot.”
Clayton’s face instantly darkened, looking at Flora with a look that could not wait to poke two holes in her body.
Blair’s eyes crossed a trace of laughter, the fleeting, then she pulled Clayton’s sleeve and said. “Don’t blame Flora, Flora used to have a bad memory, except for Theo and Grandma’s birthdays, she can’t remember anyone else’s.”
“Is that so?” Clayton gritted his teeth and looked at Flora, “You’re really attached to Theo.”
Flora knew Blair was definitely doing it on purpose, so she simply nodded and said. “Yeah, my memory is really bad then, I almost forgot to ask Blair, why are you suddenly back in the country?”
She said, her eyes fell on Blair, as if carelessly continued. “How come Daniel didn’t come back with you? By the way, are you married?”
Blair’s smile froze on her face, unnaturally pulled the corners of her mouth, “I …”
“Flora, what do you mean?” Without waiting for Blair to answer, Clayton asked angrily in return.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Flora shrugged, “Literally! Didn’t you go abroad with Daniel in the first place?”
Blair’s eyes instantly turned red with aggression. “Flora, you know, I left the country in the first place so that you wouldn’t misunderstand Clayton and I. I knew you wanted to marry him, and that’s why I chose to leave. Why do you need to say such things to humiliate me now? Daniel and I have always been innocent.”
Flora laughed back in anger, her ability to turn black and white upside down was really perfect.
“You were clearly the one who took Clayton as a ba…”
“That’s enough!” Clayton yelled at Flora, “Thanks to Blair who still considers you as her best friend, you deserve it!”
Flora struggled to hold back her tears and said. “I don’t care!”
Blair like a great aggravation, flung into Clayton’s arms and cried out in pain.
“Get out!” Clayton lightly embraced Blair with one hand, pointing at Flora with the other, his eyes full of disgust.
Flora sneered and sneered back. “Blair, there’s always a day when the act is revealed, and I’m looking forward to you acting for the rest of your life!”
“The first thing I did was to go back to my country, and I wasn’t trying to steal Clayton away from you. ” Blair looked up from Clayton’s arms and questioned Flora with tears on her face, anyone would think that she was the real victim.
Angry and helpless, Flora watched coldly as the two men quickly got up, threw open the door and left the hotel as if to escape.
