"Okay!" Claire agreed happily. "With Dr. Watson supervising, | must try my best!" Being with Rowan, Claire learned to love life even more. She got used to going to bed early and waking up early so she could see him first thing in the morning. They had completed their morning run, and their phones chimed with notifications. They slowed down and walked down the stairs from the embankment.

"What about you?" Rowan asked. "Are you sure you don't needto drive you?" The girl shook her head. "No need. I'm going to the bookstore later." Just as the two were about to part ways, Monica, who had just bought a charger, cout of the mobile phone store. She hadn't taken two steps when she spotted a familiar figure! Although she had only met Claire once during their previous blind date, she had left a deep impression. Moreover, Claire was wearing the soutfit as last time! However, the man beside her was not Tristan. Monica's steps faltered, and her heart skipped a beat as she opened her lively eyes wide. Had they broken up? Or was this woman cheating on him? Monica's phone was out of battery and she had only charged it briefly in the store, so she couldn't take many photos. She quickly caught up with them, turned on her camera, and snapped just one picture! It was clear, showing Claire's face. While following them, she opened Facebook and sent the photo to Tristan along with a few words-"Is your girlfriend cheating on you?" Of course, she didn't want the man she liked to be kept in the dark. In the photo, Claire had her arm linked with the man, and the two were chatting and laughing, looking very close. Monica followed them until Claire saw Rowan off in his car, waving goodbye as he drove away.
Not far off, Daphne appeared around a corner, her hair disheveled, dressed in all black, no makeup, and her eyes dark as she stared at Claire, as if she was deliberately following her. She might be up to no good. Just as Daphne was about to approach Claire, Monica cinto her line of sight, also heading towards Claire. Monica grabbed Claire by the shoulder, stopping her in her tracks.
Daphne hesitated and backed off, watching to see what would happen.

Monica stared at her coldly, "Aren't you nervous, girl?" Her tone was accusatory, and she observed Claire's reaction. Upon hearing the voice, Claire immediately remembered who she was and thought of the blind date! The girl standing in front of her was Tristan's blind date, but she couldn't remember her name.
"Why should | be nervous?" Claire asked softly. "Are you two-timing?" Monica asked with a smile, hands in her pockets. "lI saw it clearly just now; that man is not Tristan!" What? Claire was slightly taken aback, but soon understood that Monica must still think she was Tristan's girlfriend.
"That's right, he's not Tristan," Claire admitted honestly. "He's my boyfriend." Monica frowned, unhappy with the answer. "Do you think you're being fair to Tristan? He's such an excellent man!" As she asked, she grabbed Claire's wrist. "Cwith me! | don't believe you! | believe even more that you're cheating on him!" "Hey, let go of me!" Claire struggled. "I didn't cheat, Tristan and | are just friends!" "I don't believe it! | won't let you wrong him! | want him to see what kind of person you are!" Monica hailed a taxi and forcibly dragged Claire into it. No matter how much Claire struggled and tried to explain, Monica closed the car door. "Driver, let's go! To the Clarke Corp!" "Girl, why don't you believe me? | really have a boyfriend!" Claire was embarrassed; she didn't want to bother Tristan anymore, but the car was already speeding towards the Clarke Corp.
