If you'd shown Clara a shred of decency, she wouldn't be cutting you off like this.” lan felt a sharp pain in his chest, but his face remained impassive, his tone still devoid of any warmth. “That pampered woman can’t handle the real world. When she crashes and burns, she’ll ccrawling back.” Chase's chest ached with frustration. “Where do you get that confidence from, huh?” Dealing with such a hopeless case left Chase speechless.

Heidi escorted lan home. Watching the proud, cold man lying quietly on the bed, a sly glint flashed in Heidi's eyes. She unlocked lan’s phone with facial recognition, found Clara's number, and dialed it.
Clara had just finished a meeting with a client when her phone rang. Seeing it was lan, she hesitated but eventually answered. She softly greeted him with a “hello,” but there was silence on the other end.
Just as she was about to hang up, Heidi's voice, sultry and dripping with faux concern, cthrough. “lan, if you drink this much again, I'm not looking after you.” Several seconds passed before lan’s raspy voice replied. “Okay, I'll listen to you from now on.
