Clara Knox rubbed her ankles, finding high heels to be nothing short of a torture device specifically designed for women. Despite wearing them often, blisters formed on her feet and any more dancing would break her skin.
Edward Harper followed her movements and also saw the reddened area on her heels. His brow furrowed and he immediately took out his phone to call Liam Johnson,
"Bring a pair of flats for the lady, and also pick up some iodine, topical medication, and adhesive bandages. Come now."
Clara Knox looked up at him,
"No need, I'm not that delicate, I'll just sit here without moving for a while, and then I'll go home."
Clara felt that Liam Johnson, already engaged four years ago and still not married, was probably held back by his over-demanding boss. Who else would have assistants on call 24/7, year-round? Hassling someone in the middle of the night to deliver shoes might make Liam resent her in the future.
