Chapter 157 Flowers and card

Claire is currently in her office sorting out documents while also trying to find companies who would want to work with Metacortex in building a robot.

She has found a few companies in which Claire needs to contact them. As she checked the calendar, something struck her mind which made her stop typing. August 8

It is Alexander Harris birthday in which Claire never forgot.

Back then she used to prepare everything for Alex despite him never appreciating all her hard work. On his birthday, Claire always be the one who is busy preparing his birthday party with his family. She used to wake up early at four to bake Alex cake even though at the end he never ate it, only muttering a small thanks before getting ready to work.

There are also one time when Claire surprises him after he has gone home from work. Alex was in a bad mood and Claire decided to surprise him, which was a bad decision for Claire cause Alex threw away the cake with anger in his eyes. Turns out that day Alex had a problem with his work, and he poured all his anger on Claire.

Claire still doesn't understand what made Alex dislike her so much back then.

Is it because his grandfather practically force him to this loveless marriage? Or does Alex have other reason? And if Alex was force to, why didn't he reject it? Why did he keep going with the marriage?

A lot of question run through Claire mind with no possible answer.

At the very time, Sandra entered her office bringing a cup of tea and a biscuit.

""Here is your tea, miss."

"Thank you, Sandra," she placed the tea on the coffee table. Claire stood up from her chair and walked to the couch.

He observed the bouquet, a mix of vibrant colors and elegant arrangements, clearly chosen with care. After a moment, he noticed a small card tucked among the flowers. He reached for it, opened it, and read the message inside. It

couldn't believe it. The handwriting wasn't Claire's, he was sure of that. Claire didn't strike him as the type to send such a gesture, especially given their
