Chapter 813: Chapter 810: It Won’t Affect Their Relationship, Right?

Hearing what Holly Summers said, Hailey hesitated as well. Right as she was hesitating, Holly had already reached out and opened the door.

But when she saw the scene inside, Holly’s foot, which had been about to step in, froze.

Inside the room, Clara Grant was slumped over the vanity table. Although her face was hidden, her slightly trembling shoulders made it obvious—she was crying!

Hailey clearly saw it too. She couldn’t help but want to go inside, but Holly stopped her.

Holly took one last look at Clara before closing the door again.

"Holly, why aren’t we going in? Clara looks like she’s crying. Is she going to be okay?" Hailey asked, looking at her with worry and confusion.

"It’s fine. Let’s wait for Clara to calm down before we go in. I don’t think she’d want us to see her in such a vulnerable state right now," Holly said, shaking her head.

When she saw Clara crying over the table, she suddenly seemed to understand why Seth Quinn hadn’t allowed anyone into this room. He must have wanted to protect Clara from letting others see her distress and vulnerability.

Hailey nodded, but couldn’t help asking, "Holly, haven’t President Quinn and Clara always had a great relationship? What could have caused them to fight so fiercely this time? Will this affect their relationship?"

Holly smiled and patted her shoulder. "Don’t worry, it won’t. Even couples with the best relationships fight. But you know how spouses are—they can be at each other’s throats one minute and kissing and making up the next. By tomorrow, they’ll be perfectly fine and back to normal. Besides, a couple’s bond only grows stronger after a few arguments."

Hearing this, Hailey felt slightly relieved.

However, though Holly had a smile on her face, a trace of worry couldn’t help but slip into her eyes. In truth, she wasn’t very confident either. She had no idea what had caused their argument; she was merely comforting Hailey to ease her nerves.

Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind. Holly immediately frowned and told Hailey, "Hailey, keep watch here. Don’t let anyone go in. I’ll be right back."

After saying that, she walked a fair distance away from the dressing room. She glanced back at Hailey to make sure she wouldn’t be overheard, then pulled out her phone and made a call.

The call connected quickly, and Chase Childs’s voice came through, as calm and collected as ever. "Holly? What’s wrong?"

"Oh, haha, it’s nothing. I just wanted to ask if you were at the company? Are you busy?" Holly scratched her head and forced a few dry laughs.

"Yes, I’m at the company. I wouldn’t say I’m too busy. Tell me, what’s going on?"

In reality, Chase Childs was extremely busy. Before President Quinn left, he had dumped a massive pile of tasks for him to handle. Prior to Holly’s call, he had been too swamped to even answer several other incoming calls—until she rang.

He was busy enough to ignore everyone else, but the moment he saw Holly’s caller ID, he answered it instinctively.

Hearing what sounded like Holly caring about him, his heart was already surging with emotion. However, he exercised immense restraint to keep his voice from sounding overly excited.

"Well, there’s actually nothing going on. It’s just that I saw President Quinn visit Clara on set, but I didn’t see you with him. So, I just wanted to give you a call and see what you were busy with."

As the saying goes, innocent words can carry unintended weight. Holly had her own ulterior motives for asking this, but to Chase’s ears, they took on a completely different meaning.
