Chapter 209 Never mind. 50 5 Barclay probably didnt remember the incident from that evening. He was a busy man, and that little incident seemed insignificant in his life of success. The photo was indeed beautiful and suited Barclays style. If Moira told him the lady in the photo was her, she thought it would be even better. However, Moira decided not to reveal her thoughts to avoid embarrassment. If Barclay simply found the photo appealing and used it as his screensaver, claiming ownership too eagerly might seem overly calculating. It was better to let it go. Moira realized her impulsiveness and said, Actually, upon closer inspection, this photo has a certain artistic quality, and it does look good as a screensaver. She looked at the photo of herself and felt her face heat up. Trying to maintain composure, she continued, Im just casually asking, so please dont mind. Its okay, Barclay replied, not minding at all. Moira breathed a sigh of relief and swiftly changed the subject. I still need to practice the piano for three hours today. Ill go practice now.

She looked anxiously at the phone in Barclays hand and decided to come clean. Mr. Covington, the persons in that photo are indeed me and you. Barclay said, Oh, no wonder I found the figure in the photo so attractive. Listening to his praise, Moira stood there, unsure whether to feel happy or uncomfortable. She asked, Should you change the screensaver then? Why? Barclay raised his gaze, staring directly at her. Moira felt a sudden unease under his gaze and looked away, avoiding his eyes. Wouldnt people misunderstand? Barclay asked again, Misunderstand what? That our relationship is impure? Barclay suddenly chuckled. Ms. Jimenez, have you forgotten? In public, you are my Mrs. Covington. Using our photo as the screensaver will only make people think that we are a loving couple.
