A Sudden Marriage with Mr. Sterling - Episode 2

Claire returns home after a night away to face immediate suspicion from her aunt, Jenny, and her aunt's daughter. She explains she was staying at a coworker's place after a late shift and offers her earnings as thanks for their care. When Claire suggests moving in with her coworker rent-free, the aunt's daughter accuses her of being ungrateful. Jenny refuses, insisting Claire can only leave after she gets married to avoid neighborhood gossip. Claire, feeling trapped, refuses to eat, leaving the family meal in tension. Meanwhile, someone anxiously awaits Mr. Sterling's arrival at another location.
