SWNOVELS Chapter Making 72
Chapter 72
Just as Irene’s imagination was running wild about Gilmore’s meil invitation, a beautiful figure arrived at the door of the Business Department’s office and knocked.
“I hope I didn’t disturb anything.” It was Claire knocking on the door.
Although the door of the Business Department’s office was not closed, knocking was a basic courtesy and showed how well- mannered Claire was as the daughter of a wealthy family.
“Miss Carter.” Irene immediately snapped out of her sweet fantasy and called out to Claire respectfully.
Gilmore said to Claire, “Since you’re here, let’s go eat together!”
Claire nodded.
Irene heard that Gilmore had invited Claire to dinner. Only then did she realize the real female lead was her boss, and she was just a non–essential supporting actress.
She thought back to how she was fantasizing about Gilmore just now, Irene couldn’t help but wish that there was somewhere she could hide her face.
Claire smiled when she saw Gilmore’s parents in the office. She went forward and greeted them. “Sir, Madam, are you Gilmore’s parents?”
Gilmore’s parents already knew that this beautiful and elegant girl was the mall’s Vice President, Miss Carter.
They got up and said gratefully. “Miss Carter, thank you for investing in us and waiving our rent. Thank you very much.”
Claire waved her hand and said, “Mr. and Mrs. Reed, you’re too polite. The truth is, I have to thank you for finding me a project that is worth investing in and has great potential.”
To the side, Irene was dumbfounded. Was opening a restaurant really worth the investment? Did it have immense potential? Irene could not understand.
After chatting with Gilmore’s parents for a while, Claire said to them, “Mr. and Mrs. Reed, let’s go for dinner now!” Gilmore’s parents liked this beautiful and polite female president very much. They quickly nodded and said yes.
The group left the office of the Business Department.
Not long after they left the office, Claire’s phone rang.
Claire took out her phone and glanced at the caller ID, expressionless. With a wave of her slender fingers, she hung up and continued to walk.
However, just as she lifted her foot, her phone rang again.
Claire repeated the same action, with a swipe of her finger, she hung up.
But the person on the phone seemed to be very persistent. She hung up, the phone rang, and she hung up again.
Gilmore’s parents and Irene couldn’t help but watch with their mouths agape. Why didn’t Miss Carter answer this person’s
call?
Gilmore couldn’t help teasing Claire and said, “If you don’t answer the phone, he may keep calling. If you really don’t want to talk to the person on the phone, let me talk to him.”

Claire frowned slightly and was a little angry. She said to Gilmore. “Tell him not to call me again. Tell him that I’m busy.”
As soon as she finished speaking, her cell phone rang again.
Gilmore said, “Give it to me!”
Claire handed the phone to Gilmore.
Gilmore looked at the caller ID and found that the caller’s name was “Housefly
“I truly didn’t expect that there would be such a name in this world. Gilmore could not help but laugh.
Claire said grumpily, “Because he is as disgusting as a housefly, I named him so.”
Gilmore was speechless.
Gilmore thought silently, “It seems that once a woman hates you, the consequences were very serious.”
Gilmore picked up the call but he did not speak..
A man’s gentle voice came from the phone. “Claire, you finally picked up my call. It’s almost meal time. I want to invite you to eat together. What do you think?”
Claire had hung up several times in a row, but the man on the phone was still able to speak calmly, as if he was not affected at all. Gilmore greatly admired this person.
He guessed that this person either had a really good temper or he was an extremely shrewd person who doesn’t easily reveal his emotions and was able to control his emotions to a state where they could not be detected.
Of course, Gilmore had never come into contact with this person before, so he had no idea which category he belonged to.
He coughed softly and said into the phone, “Sir, I’m sorry! Claire has no time to answer the phone. Also, please don’t call her again.”
The other person fell silent all of a sudden.
After a while, he spoke again. His voice was still calm, but contained a sense of authority, “Who are you? Why is Claire’s phone with you?”
However, Gilmore could hear that the other party was suppressing his anger, faintly threatening him.
Unfortunately, Gilmore was someone who could be persuaded using reason, but not by force.
“Is he threatening me? Does he want to know who I am?”
Gilmore smiled and said into the phone, I’m Claire’s boyfriend
Without giving the other party any chance to ask further questions, Gilmore hung up immediately.
All the other people present were shocked.
Irene seemed to have found the answer to her question.
“No wonder Miss Carter would invest in Gilmore’s parents‘ restaurant and waive their rent. It turned out that Gilmore was Miss Carter’s boyfriend!” Irene thought.
Gerald frowned, Gilmore had another girlfriend? Then, would his boss, the Foster family’s eldest daughter, be akin to his wife or his mistress?”

UC, Aug
Gilmore’s parents also sank into confusion. Isn’t their son with Lilian?”
They were becoming more and more clueless about young people’s love.
Gilmore returned the phone back into the hands of the stunned Claire and said, “Here, I’ve already fixed it for you?
Claire recovered from her shock and responded with a “hmm“.
At this moment, her phone rang again. This time, Claire was even more decisive and turned off her phone.
Just then, the elevator arrived and she walked in.
Gilmore, his parents, Irene, and Gerald also entered the elevator behind her.
After thelift closed, it descended. However, the atmosphere in the elevator was a little strange. No one spoke.
Irene’s eyes shifted between Claire and Gilmore.
Claire, who was standing in the corner, was remembering how Calmore had replied over the phone to the man that she hated the most, Benjamin Palmer, the eldest son of the Palmers, that he was her boyfriend.
Her heart was racing, and she was unable to remain calm.
Perhaps because the elevator was too small or because there were too many people, she felt a little hot. Her face grew warm and a faint blush appeared on her face.
-Ring! The elevator finally reached the first floor, and its doors opened.
Irene heaved a sigh of relief. “I’m finally here. Otherwise, I would have gone crazy if I stayed in this silent elevator any
longer.
Gilmore, Claire and the others walked out of the elevator.
After walking out of the building. Claire’s expression had returned to normal. She said to Gilmore, “In our mall, there is a restaurant that serves good vegetarian dishes. Why don’t we eat in this restaurant?”
“You can decide,” said Gilmore.
Hence, Claire led Gilmore and the rest towards a restaurant in the Commercial Plaza
