Chapter 11

Claire's POV Just a minute ago, I was still worried about my safety. But soon, I realized that I was overthinking things. Because I heard Lucius say in a disgusted tone, "How many days has it been since you took a shower? The smell is unbearable." His nostrils flared slightly as he spoke. He seemed unusually sensitive to scents.It reminded me of Joey who had the same strange behavior. How peculiar. I knew he was telling the truth. For the past week, all my attention had been on work. But the disgusted expression on Lucius's face still hurt my self-esteem. "I'm going home to shower!"I turned and left, my cheeks burning with embarrassment. "The bidding will be held at nine o'clock. We will set off at half past eight. Are you certain you can make it back here from your apartment within an hour and a half?" His stern voice followed me. I looked back and asked, "Do I have to go to the auction as well?" The bidding was incredibly important and had always been overseen personally by the CEO.
