Lost in Mr. Preston's Temptation

Although there weren't many newcomers in each of EMC's departments, EMC had a lot of departments. When all the newcomers gathered together, with the addition of the executives from each department, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became particularly lively.

Clara sat at the table where her name was written, lazily drinking a glass of champagne.

She recalled what had just happened in the elevator.

Was it because in the past she had said that she didn't want to publicly get married, that Ethan had been so cold to her in front of the company management?

That kind of disregard, wasn't it too much?

Clara irritably drank her glass of champagne and took out her phone to scan through the news, only to see Delores Clayton trending.

Delores Clayton was a uniquely talented woman in the music world. She had played nearly a hundred personal solo, produced a violin album and was beautiful. She has been on the list of the world's most beautiful women's faces.

Wherever she appeared she would cause a sensation.

However, she had slowly faded out of the public sight a year ago, and for a long time there had been no news of her.

Clara clicked on Delores Clayton's trending search and the first post that came out was her post.

In the photo, only the upper body of Delores wearing a long-knitted dress and holding a brown violin could be seen. She showed a faint smile to the camera, her face overflowing with happiness. Delores: I received a violin from a certain gentleman. It's Master Amati's work. I like it and will treasure it.

The information revealed by Delores caused the netizens to flood her post with comments.

"Did Delores Clayton not appear for so long because she got married? Is her partner also a musician?"

"I heard that this violin is called 'Evening Wind' and was made by Amati for the woman he loved most. As soon as he had finished making the violin, he died."

"Delores Clayton's name for her lover is so romantic!"

Clara was not interested in who "that gentleman" that Delores mentioned was, but she looked at the clothes Delores was wearing in the photo and felt that she had seen that knitted dress worn by someone. Then, she looked down at the violin in Delores's hand. She enlarged the violin, looking at it, and was stunned.

Baxter had given her that violin a few days ago, saying that it was his gift for her getting a job.

She had rarely played violin in recent years, but she could tell if a violin was real or not. The 'Evening Wind' by Master Amati she had received was certainly real. However, this one of Delores was also real...

"Clara, why are you just sitting and drinking?" Baxter came to Clara. "Why aren't you being social, and meeting the executives from the other departments?" He put his hand on the back of Clara's chair and raised his eyebrows, "Are you just staying here and playing on your mobile phone?"

"Baxter." Clara looked up at him and asked curiously, "Where did you buy the violin you gave me?”

Seeing her mention the violin, Baxter's expression changed slightly, as if he had a guilty conscience.

He touched his nose and opened his mouth. "What was that Clara...?"

Without waiting for Baxter to finish, Clara handed the phone to him. "Look, the violin Delores posted about is the same as the one you gave me."

For a while, Baxter couldn't think who this person was. Then he looked down at Clara's phone and saw the woman holding the violin and then the pendant on her chest, he was stunned. "This is... your teacher... Delores Clayton?"

"Yeah, didn't you see her at the hospital last time?" Clara glanced at him and said with amusement, "Why is your memory worse than a goldfish?" Baxter stood there, speechless for a long time.

He had never seen Delores, but he knew the violin was the one he had bought. He also knew that Ethan had the same pendant as this woman.

She never thought the teacher Clara talked about would be that Ms. Clayton!

Clara didn't pay much attention to Baxter's expression and looked at the photo on the phone. "I enlarged the violin in Delores's hand. It's real. The one you gave me must have been a fake.” "Are the craftsmen who make fakes so talented now? It is almost indistinguishable from the real...”

"No." After a moment of silence, Baxter pointed to her mobile phone, "This violin she is holding is the one I gave you before."

"Huh?" Clara looked at him blankly.

Baxter lowered his eyes and swept a glance at the woman in the photo. "I didn't buy that violin. I took it and threw money at the seller. Who knew that he called the police and the police soon found me..." "I wanted to pay him more to buy that violin, but he refused. He insisted that I return the violin to him, otherwise, he would send me to prison. “

After listening to it, Clara was speechless. "I was wondering how you bought the violin that even celebrities couldn't buy. You stole feelings?"
