Chapter 314 Uninvited Guest
Claire was wrapping up her day at the office, organizing her things and getting ready to head over to the restaurant Alexander had booked for the celebration. She slung her bag over her shoulder, about to leave, when the door to her office creaked open. It was Adrian,
standing there with a wide grin and holding a single flower in his hand.
Claire smiled, a little surprised but happy to see him. She walked toward him, eyes flicking from the flower to his face. "Is that for me?" she asked, already knowing the answer but teasing him a little.
Adrian handed her the flower, his smile not fading. "Congrats on that presentation today. You killed it!"
Claire blushed, taking the flower from him and holding it to her nose. "Thank you, Adrian. How did you know about it?"
He chuckled, leaning against her desk like he owned the place. "I know everything, remember?" he whispered like it was some grand secret.
Claire rolled her eyes but couldn't help the smile that tugged at her lips. "Right, of course, how could I forget?"
Adrian straightened up a little, his expression turning apologetic. "Sorry I couldn't come by earlier, though. Got caught up with some stuff."
Claire waved her hand dismissively. "It's fine, no big deal. You're here now."
He glanced at the clock on the wall, tilting his head. "So, where are you headed? It's still a bit early to call it a night."
"Oh, Alexander booked a restaurant for the team," Claire replied, slipping the flower into her bag. "We're celebrating the success of the presentation."
Adrian raised an eyebrow, his tone carrying a hint of skepticism. "How nice of him. Alexander throwing a party? That's a first."
Claire smirked, catching the edge in his tone. "Who knows. Maybe he feels satisfied with the presentation."
"Hmm, well, I guess I'll let you head off then," Adrian said, though he didn't make any move to leave. "I'll head home. Just wanted to drop by."
