Claire’s
I let out a nervous sigh and gripped the steering wheel a bit too tightly. Today’s my first day back at the shop since that scandal video of Niu came out. Everything feels unfamiliar now—after all, I’ve been gone for almost a month. It was weird being out again after all that time. Sebastian wanted to put security outside the shop, but I refused. That would’ve just made things more obvious.
I’d already called Kate earlier, and she said there weren’t any reporters lurking outside. I felt a little relieved when she told me that.
Even though I’ve been away for almost a month, the news is still hot. And now that our divorce is officially public, it’s stirred up even more gossip. People are being noisier online with their comments. Thankfully, no paparazzi showed up today.
