Clara's POV What were those two up to? The room fell silent, awkwardness growing in the room. I guess this was my cue to leave. They had something they didn't want me to hear. I said my goodbyes before returning to my post. Although Marcus hadn't asked, I made up a dump excuse of what Derek had asked me to do, just in case Marcus started to get suspicious. Today, there wasn't much work for me, at least nothing strenuous. I felt a bit bored. Hours passed, and my lunch break was fast approaching. My phone rang in my pocket. I wasn't about to make the mistake of ignoring it again. Layla's name appeared on my screen. I needed to change this because Derek may see it one day and ruin our plans. I hid in a corner to answer the call. At this stage, all our calls might as well be labelled
