Clara is a 25-year-old woman who has just been laid off from the company where she works. She works as an employee at a property company. Clara has not achieved the target the company wanted in the last few months and that made Clara have to leave the company.
Clara was not born into a rich family, her father and mother were just street food sellers, not far from their house. But it was the job that made Clara successfully graduate from college. Clara has no siblings, she is an only child and as a daughter, of course, Clara is very much loved by her father.
Clara's parents, especially her father, had forbidden Clara to work in a big company, considering the high risk of work, and to be honest Clara's father, Mark
65
was worried that his daughter would be used by bad men out there. Clara does have a beautiful face, if described in detail, Clara's face is almost perfect, her body is like a model and her voice is also soft. Naturally, her father felt a lot of anxiety when Clara chose the job.
But as a child, Clara felt it was time she made her parents happy, made them proud, and let them both rest and enjoy their old age. Even though her father had warned Clara about the risks she might get when working at a big company, Clara still tried it. She was interested in the salary offered.
Even though Clara wasn't quite sure if she would be accepted at the company because of her lack of experience and surely there were a lot of competitors. But that didn't discourage Clara, she still applied for a job at Skylight Group as a secretary.
And that afternoon when Clara was busy looking for other job vacancies on the internet, suddenly a notification appeared in her email, a reply from Skylight Group. Of course that made her worried, she didn't know if she would get an answer this quickly from the company.
When she opened the email, how surprised Clara would be, if she was accepted as a candidate to become a secretary in that company, to be honest, even though she was only accepted as a candidate her heart was pounding fast at that time, she couldn't believe what she was reading, she didn't even unable to say anything, she just covered her mouth with both hands with her eyes wide.

Time for dinner, Clara came out of her room after taking a shower, she headed to the dining table to meet her mother, Lidya
58
. She intends to tell her mother about this, of course without her father's knowledge, because if her father finds out she will not be allowed to work there.
"Dinner is ready, call your father in his room," her mother said.
"Mom," Clara said, she sat right in front of her mother.
"What? why are you sitting down? call your father first," her mother said.
"Yeah I'll call him later but now I have something to tell you, a secret," Clara said, it was the code she used on her mother which meant the words were not for her father to know.
"Don't tell me if you still apply for a job at that company as a secretary?" Her mother said she gave her daughter a sharp look.
"Mom, please don't be like that, you're the only one who supports me," Clara said.
"Clara, if your father forbids you it's not because he doesn't support you, you know he also used to work in a big company, his boss fired him for a stupid reason, that's why he knows how dark it is to work in a company, we always support you Clara, but-- "
"Mom but I've been accepted at the company, I mean I've been accepted as a candidate, not as a secretary and they asked me to come there tomorrow for an interview before the final results, I just want you to support me just this once," Clara said.
"You know you're the only one we have Clara, we just want to take care of you as best we can," her mother said.
"I know, but I'm an adult, I'm 25, and I get to choose where I work," Clara said.
"Fine, whatever I say won't change your mind, now call your father and we'll have dinner together," her mother said.
"I love you, Mom," Clara approached her mother and kissed her on the cheek before going to meet her father in the room.
Her father worked as an employee at a large company in South Korea. There was nothing wrong with what he did, until one day he witnessed something he shouldn't see about his boss, and that's what made his boss fire him. The stupid excuses her mother had told Clara weren't bullshit, and the fear they felt was also valid. But they couldn't be too selfish and forbid what their daughter wanted.
