Chapter 73 - COLD WAR

" Claire come on, it's been two weeks and am sick and tired of all this please, I miss you and everything, I miss us, come_ don't walk away, shit damnit" Lauren said frustrated, he sneaked out of the company when madam Frederick came and he knew she won't leave anytime soon so, came after her but saw her driving out of the Firm.

"Mr Parker should know it's a criminal offense to stalk someone" Claire told him but he frowned at her addressing him as Mr Parker and not Lauren, not sure where all of her tantrums is leading he pulled her roughly into the restaurant restroom then caged her between the wall and himself then kissed her hard, Claire was taken aback by his sudden kiss she struggled to get free held her hands above her head and predicted her next move as he stepped in-between her legs. He smirked when she grumbled but withdrew immediately when she bite hard on his lower lip.

"What the hell is th_" before he could complete what he had to say Claire slapped him hard across his face.

" How dare you? You disgust me Lauren, don't let me place a restraining order on you_ what's it you don't understand, I don't want this anymore, we are over!" Claire told him and stormed out of the restroom.

Lauren was shocked about her outburst buy what got more was her words.

' you disgust me_ don't let me place a restraining order on you, we're over' ha! On what basis are you acting this way Claire' Lauren thought as he got back into his car but didn't make any move to drive off. He was broken, not sure what to do, he remained sitted for an other half an hour if it weren't for his boss who called he might as well stayed back without any care.

Claire who first got into her car drove off not sure where exactly until she noticed she has driven to a less busy road and packed by the road side. Then and there her tears gave way, she sobbed regretting the words she said to him.

"Am sorry Lauren I don't mean does words am so sorry please" she kept on saying to the imaginary Lauren.

That evening attorney Frederick got a flat tire on her way back and she practically knew nothing about how to get it fixed and she regretted sending her chauffeur home earlier.

Despite she won the case she wasn't happy because the very person she wants to celebrate with is not available. Despite being close there's an invisible wall between them.

"Attorney Frederick!" Someone called which brought her out from her daydream

"Yeah, Lauren why are you here?" Asked attorney Frederick who was surprised to see him.

"I was just with a client across the street and noticed you needed some help" Lauren told her and what he said was true, after he received the call from his boss he went over to the client for final discussion.

" Is that so? Alright then get me the chairmans keys" she demanded. Just when she looked towards the high end restaurant across the street she noticed her husbands Lamborghini packed beside a red Ferrari. Lauren cursed himself because his boss will skin him alive.

"Mrs Frederick it's not what you think, Mr chairman is_" he was trying to explain but she cut him off.

"The keys Laur_ nevermind" she said and before Lauren could stop her she had crossed the street.

"It's good you're back and with your passion in your work, you're sure gonna be famous in know time" Victor Frederick said to his client

"Thank you Vic, it's all thanks to you_ I wouldn't have made it this far if you hadn't stepped in thank you".

"No big deal any_ excuse me please" Victor Frederick said as he noticed his wife just coming into the private dinner room he is in.

"Hello darling it's so good to see you here_ so, I was driving home and had a flat tire luckily I noticed your car not before Lauren came to assist but it's gonna kill my time; please can I have your keys" attorney Frederick said sweetly to him in three weeks of cold war
