95 - Celine
‘Sebastian!’ ‘Ms. Johnson!’ ‘Sebastian!’ ‘He’s on an important call!’ I need to talk to you right now. ‘I told her you can’t... she barged right in,’ Clara and Lexi shouted over each other as they walked into his office.
‘Let me call you back,’ Sebastian says to the person on the phone when he sees Clara coming to see him. He had a big smile on his face. ‘Here’s my love,’ he thought.
‘It’s okay, Lexi. I’ll take care of Clara.’ Lexi grumbled on his way out.
‘You look furious right now. What happened?’ He asked as he stood up.
‘How many sleazebags do you employ in your office? Was the one harassing me not enough? Do you have one in every department I should know about?’ she ask

Clara's Mystery 96 - The Confrontation
Clara loved Max, but the way he has been handling his affairs with women lately did not go well with her. He was the “sleep with them and forget ‘em type.” Most of them knew what they were getting into, but the women always hoped he would develop enough feelings to turn him into the man of their dreams. Max and Clara fought about this issue before, and Clara eventually caved and let him lead his own life, still hoping that when he met the love of his life, he’d settle down and change. Not knowing where they went, all she could do was wait for him. It was only 2 pm, and she had 3 hours to figure a way to talk to him so they can talk about this amicably. So maybe it was right for them not to talk right now because she would probably just scream at him, and everything might explode in their face. ‘We hav
Clara's Mystery 97 - Sisters
Max wiped a hand across his eyes, wiping the anguish away. He did not want to argue with Clara, but he had to bring his point across. His future was on the line. ‘Do you know why I never have long-lasting relationships? Because the minute I tell them I’m an orphan, their attitudes change. Even though we have our own company and we are rich, they don’t care about that,’ he looks away, ‘I have no family, so I am not good enough for them. Ask Jere why he doesn’t have a relationship. It’s because people see us as rejects.’ Clara wanted to hug Max right now, her brother did not deserve this treatment from people. It made her mad. Then he went after her to get his point across, ‘Why did you wait ‘til you met Sebastian Clara? Have you met his parents? Did you tell them you’re an orphan? Oh yeah, how convenient, yo
Clara's Mystery 98 - Orphans
‘So, Clara, I know you’re my older sister, and thank you for looking out for me, but I want to make my own decisions regarding Max,’ Celine heads over and gives him a fierce hug. The affection between them was very evident. ‘Max, I heard everything you said, and I don’t care if you’re an orphan. You took care of my sister all these years, and that makes all the difference. You’ve been coming to see me every weekend. And it really showed me how dedicated you are to our relationship.’ Celine brings her hands up to his face. ‘And I love you. I won’t ever let anyone come between us. I’m stubborn, just as you are. There is no chance I will ever let go of something as beautiful as what we have.’ ‘Oh, Celine, I love you too, and I’m sorry about earlier.’ He kisses her passionately. ‘You see why I did what I did earlier? It was because of Clara and this enormou
Clara's Mystery 99 - Secrets
After the company dinner, Clara had Jeremy caught up on what happened. They talked about the stigma of being an orphan and how they had avoided talking about it for the longest time. How they all knew, but nobody wanted to acknowledge that they didn’t have love lives because of that. ‘Jere, I like Heather a lot, and I know you do, too. Please don’t let this hold you back. She’s known you since you were teens. Her family likes you already, so there should be nothing holding you back,’ she says. ‘Give it a try, and if it doesn’t work, then it doesn’t. I don’t want you losing out on something that’s within your reach.’ She touches his face. ‘Don’t hesitate. You have a lot to offer. Any woman will be fortunate to have you in her life.’ Jere nods. He doesn’t know what to do. This was all new to him. Clara was ri
Clara's Mystery 100 - In-laws
And just like Clara’s team predicted, they finished their installation by lunchtime on Thursday. To celebrate their early finish date, Clara brought everyone to the street food market that Sebastian invited her to on their first date. She purchased food tickets so they could all go around and exchange them for any food or drink they wanted. She sat at the table to reserve it for the group. She observed as everybody got excited about getting their food. They had the same excitement she had the first time she was here, but she was tired. She talked to Celine way into the night, long after Baz had gone to sleep. The siblings kept whispering and giggling like little school girls, that they got scolded by Sebastian to go to bed. They moved to the sofa and fell asleep wrapped around each other like they never wanted to let go because if they did, the other would be gone in the morning.
Clara's Mystery 101 - Carmen
‘Oh my God! Sweetie, you’re Carmen, and you’re alive. Oh my God!’ Sam started crying while she hugged Clara. ‘Your mom wept for you for months and is still weeping for your death. Oh my God, this is going to be good news,’ as Sam pulls away, ‘You better tell them right away, right John?’ and looks at her husband. John sat in his chair in a contemplative mood. ‘Clara is here because she thinks she should not shock her parents with her news. There will be a lot of explaining to do, and she’s scared that they would not readily accept her, given the circumstances that she has been gone for 20 years.’ Sebastian spoke on behalf of Clara while she cried with his mom. ‘So you wanted our help so we can invite them over for you and help you break the news to them?’ asks John. He was perceptive, and now Clara knows where Sebastian got his cunning mind.
Clara's Mystery 102 - Hotel
While Sebastian and Samantha were busy, John decided to show Clara the newest addition to their family. Scottish Terrier puppies, he got two of them because he didn’t want them to be lonely. John said he got them for his wife because she was getting lonely. The kids were all grown up, and the house was getting too quiet. But it seemed like he was equally attached to the balls of fur as well. ‘Oh my gosh, these babies are so cute and fluffy,’ she gushed as she carried both puppies between her arms. ‘I just want to squish you and take you home.’ ‘They’re just 3 months old, and they know how to do a few tricks already, let me show you,’ and right there, his serious demeanor took on another persona. His features looked more gentle as he instructed the dogs to sit, sleep, stay, bark on command, wave, high five, kiss, and go into their crates, which she thought was
Clara's Mystery 103 - Last Day
Friday It had been a long week. One Clara did not imagine she was going to have. It was supposed to be an installation of the new security system for Navio, but now, she had also gained a sister. Who would have thought that revealing the truth by accident would be a good thing? She was still on pins and needles when it came to her parents, but she promised herself to take it one day at a time. No use worrying about it when it hasn’t even happened yet. Celine was going to call her and let her know what her parent’s schedule looked like so she could let Sebastian’s mom know in advance when they could have brunch at their house. But today, it was going to be goodbye for now. The past few days, having lunch with Nathan, her father, was just as she always imagined it would be like if they were together. Having d
