The Billionaire's True Heiress From Fake Jewel to Real Crown novel Chapter 1251

Claire worked herself to the bone in the lab every single day.

Ever since Julian Fisher, the head of the R&D team, found out she was stationed there, he practically camped outside her door to pick her brain.

Claire was a walking medical encyclopedia; no matter what he asked, she had the perfect answer.

For Julian, having Claire on-site in the company's lab was an absolute godsend.

At first, some team members were worried that Claire dropping into the company out of nowhere might threaten Julian's position, but when they saw their boss staking out the young woman's door every day, their expressions grew suspicious.

"Boss, do you have a crush on Mr. Sheng's cousin?"

"Yeah, Boss, it's not a good look to do this every day. I've noticed Owen getting pretty annoyed whenever he sees you going after Claire."

"Boss, Owen definitely suspects you're trying to hit on his little cousin. He looks at you like you're a thief."

If his subordinates hadn't pointed it out, Julian honestly wouldn't have noticed.

"How could I possibly have designs on Claire!"

"My feelings for her are purely out of admiration!" Julian felt like it would be impossible to clear his name now.

He truly didn't have a single inappropriate thought about Claire.

When someone was that vastly superior to you, pure worship was the only natural response. How could he possibly entertain any other ideas?

Wouldn't that just be disrespectful?

Julian knew his own heart, but Owen obviously didn't.

These past few days, Owen had indeed been keeping a close eye on Julian, terrified the older man was trying to rob the cradle.

Julian had been completely oblivious to this simply because his intentions were genuinely innocent.

As for Claire, she was even more unbothered.

Julian clearly didn't want her.

He just wanted her brain.

So, Owen's worrying was completely in vain.

Claire's hectic schedule carried her all the way to the eve of the winter holidays.

She finally managed to avoid working overtime, heading straight home to wash her hair, take a shower, and collapse into bed.

After all, tomorrow was the holiday eve, and she absolutely had to attend Zara Zeller's engagement party.

Claire had no intention of stealing the spotlight.
