Chapter 241 At this moment, Olivia led Clara inside the Royal Bistro.

“Come and take a seat.”

Olivia found a spot not far from Sergio and sat down with Clara.

Upon hearing Olivia’s voice, Maeve turned to Sergio beside her and said, “I need to go to the restroom. I’ll be back in a moment.”

“Okay,” Sergio replied.

Maeve got up and headed to the restroom.

“Are you feeling overwhelmed by today’s gathering? You’re just an intem, so it must be tough for you to accompany everyone for drinks,”

Olivia said.

She offered Clare some comforting words, but she kept observing Clara’s expression.

Since Clara entered, her gaze had been searching the hall for Sergio’s figure.

Sure enough, she soon noticed Sergio sitting in the center of the hall. He was surrounded by other business executives.

A glimmer of hope flashed in Clara’s eyes.

These days, no matter what she did, she couldn’t reach Sergio. Even Larry had stopped answering her calls.

If it weren’t for Olivia mentioning that places like this often had bigwigs like Sergio, she wouldn’t have come here to try y her luck.

Olivia said, “I need to go to the restroom. You can eat whatever you want here.”

“Okay.” Clara eagerly awaited Olivia’s departure.

As soon as Olivia left, another executive at an adjacent table noticed Clara “Isn’t that Ms. Stewart?”

The executives looked puzzled, and all eyes fell on Clara, who was sitting at the adjacent rable.

Clara was dressed in the elegant gown that Sergio had given her before. She looked mature.

She had accompanied Sergio to various events before, so these executives were familiar with her. Sergio had always introduced her to the bigwigs, and Clara had chatted with everyone at that table before. Soon, all the executives at the gathering recognized Clara One of the executives remarked, “Mr. Brooks, you have a lot of good fortune in love affairs”

Everyone naturally assumed that Clara had also been invited by Sergio.

Sergio frowned slightly, his gaze turning cold.

Clara had been called out, so she approached Sergio and said, “I didn’t expect to meet everyone here. Allow me to raise a toast to you all.” Clara picked up a glass from the table and was about to pour some wine when Sergio coolly interjected, “Put the glass down.”

Sergio’s words left Clara feeling avdeward, making her freeze in place.

The teasing atmosphere frorn earlier vanished instantly.

Clara forced a smile and said, “Sergio, it’s just a drink...”

“Ms. Stewart, if you’d like a drink, you can pay for it yourself.”

Sergio didn’t even glance at Clara. He didn’t give her a second loole.

Clara bit her lip and asked, “Are you still mad at me, Sergio?”

Clara lightly tugged at Sergio’s sleeve, but his frown deepened.

The onlookers weren’t sure what was happening, and no one dared to interrupt.

But it appeared that Sergio had rejected Clara, his kept mistress.

“Ms. Stewart, Mrs. Brooks is also here today. It might not be convenient for you to stay here. How about... we have a drink another time when you’re free?”
