Chapter 111

In the past few days, she had been steering clear of Dylan, avoiding his office unless absolutely necessary. She was doing her best to fly under the radar and even contemplated switching back to her old department.

Lost in her thoughts, Simon suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand. "Come on, let's step outside. I need to talk to you," he said.

Clara instantly pulled her hand away.

Simon frowned slightly but soon flashed a smile. "Ryan told me everything. He said you've been a bit off-kilter because of my wedding and asked me to keep an eye on you. Clara, you're a grown woman. Can't you handle this better?"
