After saying these last few words, Claire didn’t dare to look directly at the man in front of her. After all, she felt completely guilty about this matter and was very ashamed.

Arthur, who was sitting on the sofa to Claire’s side, watched as she lowered her head. He sat up straight again.

Leaning forward slightly, resting his hands on his thighs, and moving a little closer to Claire. “So, you came to see me today mainly to apologize for what happened back then?”

Claire kept her head down and nodded solemnly. “That’s one reason, and of course the most important one. There’s a second reason.”

She said, slowly raising her head, “but let’s resolve the first one now.”

Suddenly, Claire’s voice changed. “Oh my god, why are you so close to me all of a sudden? Are you deaf and need to come closer to hearing?” she exclaimed, startled..

Arthur had indeed moved closer to her, but not by much. Claire was just not used to it.

However, Arthur showed no sign of moving back when he heard Claire’s exclamation. He remained in his current posture. “You were speaking with your head down, so it was a little hard to hear. Why is your face so red? You don’t have a fever, do you?”

As he spoke, he reached out a hand as if to feel Claire’s forehead.

Claire reacted quickly. She cupped her face in her hands and scooted her seat twice to the right. “I’m fine, I’m fine. I don’t have a fever. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Jarrett,” she said as she moved.

Arthur returned to his original posture. “Well, that’s good to hear. Don’t stay out too late. My son will blame me if I don’t take good care of you, and that wouldn’t be good.”

Claire also agreed, “Mr. Jarrett, after hearing what I just said, I wonder if you can forgive my foolish actions.

“If you need compensation, just say the word. With your power and status, you probably don’t care much about it.

“But as long as you say it, I, Claire, will do my best to fulfill the compensation. What do you think?”

Arthur laughed directly at her words, a very frank laugh. “Actually, this matter doesn’t require an apology. After all, I’m a man, and this kind of thing wouldn’t be a loss for me.

“And in that situation at the time, you were just acting out of desperation. But since you’ve apologized, I’ll accept it. “It’s just compensation, and I can’t think of what I need right now. After all, I lack nothing.”

Claire nodded. She thought, ‘How could the man in front of her be short of anything?‘

But if she didn’t compensate him for something, she felt that she couldn’t get over it. “Then, when Mr. Jarrett remembers, please be sure to tell me.”

Arthur said, “Of course, then please save my phone number, Ms. Claire. When I remember what I need, I will definitely let you know. Here, after all that talking, you must be thirsty. Have another cup of tea.”

Claire smiled faintly. It was strange to say, but after being here for a short time, the man in front of her had noticed her thirst several times. She picked up the teacup without hesitation and slowly drank it all down, mouthful by mouthful.

Arthur watched her finish her tea. “So, now that the apology is over, what’s the second matter?”
