Chapter 80

Clara tossed and turned all night, unable to catch a wink of sleep. In her frustration, she turned to the internet for some advice.

Clara: [My boss gave me a bath. Is our relationship still on the up and up?]

Clara: [Passed out from cramps, only to wake up and find my boss had changed my clothes and helped me clean up. What do I do now?]

After posting these questions in a forum, Clara felt hotter and more flustered than ever. The thought of facing Dylan at work the next day filled her with dread.

Her posts quickly drew a flood of responses.

[Are you sure this is your boss, not your boyfriend?]

[Forget boyfriends, even my husband isn't this attentive. You don't seem to mind him—why not just get together?]

[Your relationship can't be that innocent anymore.]

Clara replied, insisting: [He has no interest in me.]
