Chapter 188
Chapter 188 Stupid question
The room was silent. Not a single sound can be heard as they put all their attention on Claire Peterson.
Claire was silent as well as her eyes darted from one journalist to another.
She doesn't know how to respond to that.
Alex noticed her silence as he too knows what really happened three years ago. From under the table, he placed his hand on top of her. Claire flinched slightly then turned her attention towards Alex.
He squeezed her hand in assurance and nodded his head to her telling her that she can do this.
Claire turned her attention back and cleared her throat. "Um, yes... as all of you are wondering the reason of my disappearance, was because I was busy taking care of my marriage with Alexander Harris as I mention earlier that we have been together for three years." "So, are you saying that you purposely disappear from the business industry to take care of your wedding? I thought the wedding happened because the two of you made a deal. So why are you taking care of it?" The journalist said in a curious tone. Claire hoped the question earlier will be the last but sadly it is not. It seems like the journalist have other plan in mind.
"Even though Alex and I marry not because of love doesn't mean I did not take care of it. I did and I very much enjoy my time. And in those three years, I spend my time with Alex grandfather that's why I disappear from the business industry. Besides, nobody likes woman leading. Am I right?" Claire add a little joke at the end to ease the air around the room.
A chuckled can be heard from the people around including Alex.
"What do you think of Robert when you appointed him to be the CEO?" another journalist chimed in.
The corner of her lips curl up into a smirk. Another unexpected question but this time she knows what to answer.
"Well, first of all I must give him credit for keeping the company afloat however, I must say, no one can do a better job than Claire Peterson herself." She said confidentially that makes the audience chuckled. "Only now our stock market slightly drop due to the unexpected news. I assure all of you that our company is not involved in our marriage. We aren't planning to merge or buying each other company stock to take over so don't worry."
She shoot them a smile.
"It seems like everyone is satisfied with their answers and their curiosity has been fulfilled. So, our Q&A session has en-" Alex words got cut off by an unexpected voice. "You didn't mention your parents, Ms. Peterson. Where are they?" Claire froze for the second time.
