Chapter: 200
“Sure.”

After taking a shower, Claudia engaged in a brief chat with Aurora before exhaustion overcame her, and she dozed off mid-conversation.

The following morning, Claudia awoke to find a string of unread messages from Aurora.

“Seriously? Was the so-called business dinner about Mathews endorsing the Segarine Group?"

“You were trending with Mathews, and Bennett took you to a dinner with him. Doesn't seem coincidental. He probably took you there to publicly stake his claim over you."

“Did anything noteworthy happen at dinner? How did Bennett treat Mathews?"

“Hey? Where are you? Are you asleep?"

“I'm having trouble sleeping, Claudia! I need details! This is all Like a scene from a romance novel!"

After reading through all the messages, Claudia was at a loss for words.

Aurora's vivid imagination was indeed remarkable. Maybe she should consider writing novels. Such talent shouldn't go unused.

Yesterday, Claudia had been a tad weary, so she slept in and woke up late today. She shot a whimsical emoji Aurora's way before freshening up.

Jace had been off to a morning meeting at the office early on.

As Claudia munched on her breakfast, she casually surfed Twitter.

She couldn't care less about the Delilah-Anthony gossip. Her interest lay in the comments on Mathews' Twitter.

Her relief was palpable when she found that Mathews' recent announcement garnered a slew of positive reactions.

Following Mathews' tweet, Claudia's follower count shot up by a staggering two hundred thousand.

Claudia's Twitter activity was more about browsing than actual tweeting.

Her Twitter account, unverified by the platform, had a meager count of eight tweets over seven years, three of which she posted during a recent online spat with Delilah.

Her fans appreciated her understated presence, leaving comments urging her to tweet more frequently on her latest post. Claudia, pleased, logged out of Twitter.

Shortly after, she received a message from her assistant, Joann Norris.

“Cece, your Twitter followers have skyrocketed. Want me to get your account verified?"

Claudia was quick to decline, "No, no, no."

Water could carry a boat, but also destroy it.

Claudia, unlike Delilah, preferred a low-profile existence. Delilah, after publishing her novel and gaining online fame, took a significant hit following a massive backlash from netizens.
