Chapter 12 It Isn't Too Bad

Although Clara knew that it was a lie, her face still turned red. Any woman would have felt embarrassed under this kind of domineering protection. Elly gritted her teeth. "We shall see then. I will not let her enter the Special Forces." She shook her hands in the air and stomped off angrily. James looked at Clara and said in a low voice, "I will tell Lieutenant Colonel Adler to give you the application form. You should fill it." Clara was a little embarrassed. "Um……" She did not know what came to her just now to utter those words. Was it too late for her to go back on her words? "Actually, I think I can't do it," Clara said embarrassedly. "You heard Elly just now too. Is it too late for you to regret it now?" James blatantly pointed out, not giving Clara any chance to refuse him. Clara lowered her head and continued to cut her steak. James glanced at her. "You do not have to worry about not being skilled enough. You can totally ace it judging from your successful attempt to save a person that day." James placed his plate in front of her and took away hers away, just as she had finished cutting the steak. "You are…" Clara was puzzled. "I think you did a great job cutting the steak. Clara: "……" After dinner, Clara went to the cashier and took her wallet out of her bag. "We sat at Table 8 just now. How much is our bill?" "Table 8's bill is settled." The cashier replied politely. Clara glanced at James in surprise. "I told Lieutenant Colonel Adler to foot the bill. You owe me a meal now. You can pay me back some day later," James explained while he walked towards the exit. Some day later? She had initially planned not to contact him anymore after buying him clothes today. She felt as if… she was under his control. She did not like that feeling. After they exited the restaurant, Clara followed James slowly. James did not walk very fast. He seemed to be waiting for her. At that moment, Clara's phone suddenly rang. It was Aari. "Hello, Aari. What's up?" Aari exclaimed excitedly, "I saw you with a man! The man whose house you stayed in for the night. He is so handsome! You have finally gained some senses!" "No… That's not it. You are overthinking it." Clara blushed harder. She realized that Aari was just nearby. She glanced at her surroundings. Aari sighed quietly inside. Clara was indeed a shy person. Luckily she had expected this and was prepared for it. "Wait. I bought you a present." Aari ran downstairs towards Clara as she spoke. She glanced at James and smiled. She stuffed a gift bag into Clara's hands. "Clara, make full use of this tonight." "What?" Clara opened the bag curiously. It was… something a female used… during intercourse. Clara was shocked. She quickly closed the bag. "I don't…" want. Before she could finish her sentence, Aari was gone. "Is she your friend?" James asked her. "Yeah," Clara simply answered. She lowered her head. Her mind was still on the gift. "What did she give you?" James glanced at the gift bag curiously. "No… Nothing. Let's go buy your clothes." Clara's eyes lit up with enthusiasm. Luckily, James did not demand an answer from her. He walked towards the fifth floor of the Mercury Tower. This floor was full of luxuriously branded clothes. The suits there cost more than a hundred thousand. Clara glanced at the suit on the manikin. It was specially tailored and fitting. It had a beige tone. James would definitely look good if he wore it! Clara held James's hand. She looked at the manikin and asked, "Do you like this?" James glanced at her hand that held his arm, then looked at her face. Clara had a fair complexion. Her skin was like a peeled pigeon's egg. It was perfect and without any flaws. She had very attractive facial features. The more he looked at her, the more beautiful he thought she was. James stared at her. He replied without looking at the suit at all. "Yeah, I like it." "This then." Clara let go of his arm and walked into the boutique. She spoke to the salesperson. "Please let him try this suit." "This way, please." The salesperson led James into the fitting room enthusiastically. Clara waited outside and looked at the clothes in the store. Suddenly, she saw Jon walking toward her out of the corner of her eye. She recalled everything that he had done towards her. She suddenly felt sick in her stomach. She did not want to see him. Without a second thought she quickly dashed into the fitting room that James was in James had just changed into his shirt. He hadn't managed to button it up yet. His firm and tight pectoral muscles were smooth all the way down to his strong and powerful abdominal muscles. Clara was startled. She accidentally dropped the bag in her hand. All its contents rolled out of the bag in an instant…… James stared at the floor. There were porn VCDs and…… A set of sexy lingerie. There was also a big fake dildo. Clara almost lost her mind.
