With a clang, the thermos in Claire’s hand fell to the ground too. The breakfast inside was knocked over and spilled all over the ground.
lissa was baffled and thought, When did I push Claire?
She just fell to the ground herself.
"What’s the matter?" Murray heard the noise and walked out of the study.
As soon as Claire saw Murray, her face turned pale and her eyes burst out tears all of a sudden, "Murray, li pushed so hard. I’m hurt!"
It turned out that Claire deliberately fell to fra lissa in front of Murray.
"Did I push you?" lissa sneered.
Claire looked at Murray with a feeble, innocent, and considerate expression, "Murray, don’t bla li. Last ti, it was Sarah who asked to move li’s things to the maid’s room. It is li’s right to be angry with ."
It seems that Claire is changing her style and starting to play innocent, the two-side bitch, lissa thought.
Claire called lissa li, which made lissa feel sick. lissa sneered, "Don’t call li. You can see as your cousin-in-law if you want."
Cousin-in-law? Claire felt jealousy in her heart.
However, she pretended to be innocent and harmless, "li, I know you hate , but I’m living in their house. I don’t dare to disobey what Sarah asks to do."
Claire kept speaking, "li, I don’t want to do that. li, you can be angry with . You can hit , scold , or push down. But ... this breakfast was made by Sarah herself for Murray to eat. Now you have knocked it over. How can I explain it to Sarah and Murray?"
"Claire, you are so good at acting. Why don’t you be an actor? The whole world owes you an Oscar award." lissa sneered calmly and looked coldly at Claire, who was putting on an act.
"li, what are you saying?" Claire acted as if being extrely wronged. She looked at Murray and said, "Murray, that was the breakfast Sarah made for you. She was afraid that you would be too tired from working, so she asked to send it to you. Now, it has all been scattered by li..."
Before Claire could finish her speaking, Murray interrupted her impatiently, "Alright, Claire, do you think I am blind?"
"Murray, you..." Claire was stunned.
"I saw what happened just now. lissa didn’t even touch you." Murray frowned and said.
However, he did not see anything, but his intuition told him that lissa was not such a bad person.
On contrary, Claire had learned about the sche after staying with his mother all these years.
"I ... Murray, it’s not the case..." Claire did not expect Murray would say that. He should not have seen it with his angle just now!
Murray interrupted Claire without hesitation and said in a low voice, "Don’t spend your ti on these tricks. Spend more ti on studying, okay?"
Seeing Claire with such a disbelief expression, lissa praised Murray a lot in her heart but said indifferently, "Alright, since everything is clear, then I’m going to work now."
After that, lissa turned around and left.
Looking at lissa’s back, Claire was discontented, "Murray, you know Sarah does not like her, why..."
"As long as Grandpa likes her." Murray glanced at Claire coldly, "I hope this will be the last ti. Don’t look for trouble with lissa anymore, understand?"
"Just because of Grandpa?" Claire looked up at Murray and asked, "What about you, Murray? Do you like her?"
"It has nothing to do with you." Murray narrowed his eyes and said coldly.
His cold and distant expression made Claire’s heart sink.
She hoped that Murray did not like lissa at all and it was only because of his grandfather that he accepted lissa as his fiancée.
But ... just now, Murray looked at lissa with a doting gaze.
Claire had never seen such a gaze before.
"Is there anything else?" Seeing Claire standing there in a daze, Murray asked with a frown.
Claire ca back to her senses. Her eyes suddenly fell on the gauze on Murray’s right hand. She asked with concern, "Murray, what happened to your hand?"
"It’s nothing, just a small injury." Murray was expressionless.
"Injury? How could you be injured? Is it serious?" Claire sounded nervous and worried.
Claire thought, How did Murray get injured all of a sudden? No wonder he asked for leave today.
But why was he injured? Was it related to lissa?
"It’s fine." Murray pursed his thin lips and warned her in a low voice, "Don’t tell my mother,"
"I won’t let Sarah know." Claire nodded, not forgetting to slander lissa, "Murray, you are injured. Why didn’t lissa stay and take care of you? What is more important than you?"
"She has sothing to do at the company," Murray said, his eyes darkened.
"Murray, why don’t you let stay and take care of you?" Claire’s tone carried so anticipation.
"No need. I still have things to do. You can go back." Murray refused and coldly ordered.
After that, Murray turned to the study, leaving only a cold and distant back to Claire.
On the ground, there was still the breakfast she made by herself.
Claire’s enthusiasm was damped down as if being poured a bucket of cold water.
She thought, All of this was due to lissa!
I must find a way to drive her away!
...
It was already half-past ten when lissa arrived at the company. She turned on her computer and continued to check the form that she had not finished checking last night.
While she was concentrating on her work, her phone suddenly rang.
She looked down at the phone. It was Bruce.
lissa picked up the phone, "Hello, Mr. Bailey. I’m lissa."
"Hello, Ms. Eugen!" Bruce’s voice ca from the phone, with a bit of eagerness, "Regarding the ’Ice and Fire’ series, when can it go public? We want to know the plan for mass production. I wonder when Ms. Eugen will be free?"
"Okay, I will be free in the afternoon." lissa looked at the computer screen. In the afternoon, she should be able to check things out and give out a proposal.
"Okay, see you in the afternoon!" Bruce was satisfied and hung up the phone.
lissa’s design of "Ice and Fire" yesterday was so amazing and it made Bruce eager to make it public. He believed that it would achieve unprecedented sales goals.
And he thought that lissa ... was quite interesting.
At three in the afternoon, Bruce and his assistant arrived at the Gibson Corporation on ti.
lissa had already prepared everything. She said with a smile on her face, "Mr. Bailey, there is the proposal for the ’Ice and Fire’ series. Let’s go to the conference room to talk."
"OK!"
They arrived at the eting room. Just as they sat down and lissa was about to turn on her computer, they heard the click of footsteps.
The door of the conference room was pushed open with a bang.
lissa frowned and thought, Who behaves so rude?
