The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins (Sean and Claire) novel Chapter 12

Chapter 12 Quite Cultured

Sean slipped his right hand into his pocket. “Why are you asking like this?”

“Heh…” Claire smirked mockingly, turned her head to look at him, and said, ” You know I’m C. S. Lawrence! Don’t deny it. You saw me just now, and you werer t surprised at all. You came up and asked me why I didn’t call you. It’s obvious you knew! So, was the script not really a problem at all? Did you just casually devise an excuse to trick me into coming here?”

The word “trick” was probably the first time someone dared to use it on Sean.

This woman, Claire, was young but quite audacious.

Sean raised an eyebrow and turned to face Claire. He said, “Speaking of this, I’d like to ask you something.”

Towering over her at six feet and six inches, Sean loomed like a mountain. His presence emanated an immense pressure that instinctively forced Claire to take a step back.

“What … what do you want to ask?” She stammered.

Sean curled his lips slightly, moved closer, and glanced at the work badge hanging from her chest. “C. S. Lawrence. C is for Claire, and S is for what? Why did you choose this pen name?”

Huh?

What’s wrong with that?

Claire was utterly perplexed by his words. Under his overwhelming presence,

she quickly retreated two steps, appearing weak, vulnerable, and helpless.

However, the elevator was only so big, and her back was soon pressed against the cold elevator wall. She had no more room to retreat.

With a sharp “smack,” Sean placed both hands against the elevator wall, imprisoning her between himself and the wall. He lowered his head, his gaze fixed on her eyes, exuding a dangerous aura all over his body. “Hmm? Can’t come up with an answer?”

The man’s presence enveloped Claire entirely. She could even feel his breath brushing against her hair.

At such a close distance, Claire felt a sense of danger, yet for some reason, she knew that Sean wouldn’t harm her.

She raised her head, and her gaze met his delicate lips. Despite being a man, his lips were rosy, more enticing than any lipstick color.

She had seen such tempting lips before…

Ugh!

In a moment like this, why was she still thinking about that matter!

The man before her was none other than Xander’s elder!

Feeling her face heat up, she quickly averted her gaze, as if her eyes had been scalded, and said, “I chose the pen name ‘C. S. Lawrence’ because I think this name will bring me good luck. C is for Claire. S is for Shakespeare, my favorite author. Lawrence is derived from the word laurel, a Roman symbol of victory.”

Sean’s expression froze momentarily, and he was getting a bit awkward.

When he first saw this pen name, he subconsciously associated the initial “S”

with himself, but he didn’t expect Claire to choose this because of Shakespeare. Although, it sounded much more reasonable.

Just then, with a “ding,” the elevator door opened.

Sean withdrew his hands and casually slipped his right hand into his pocket. “Hmm. You’re quite cultured indeed.”

He said calmly as if he were genuinely discussing an ordinary matter with Claire.

Claire raised her hand to cover her flushed face and watched his figure as he stepped out of the elevator. She stuck her tongue out at him playfully.

What did he mean by “quite cultured”? She already has a good education!

She was an exceptional student Silverton University had not seen in decades. She had excellent character and excellent grades. Claire even had a double degree!

Sean suddenly turned around and looked at her. “Aren’t you coming?”

Claire quickly retracted her pink tongue and awkwardly hurried beside him.

Sean’s office was on the top floor of this building, the 88th floor. Within the spacious office area, not a single woman could be seen!

The entire area was filled with men, and Claire couldn’t help but feel that

Sean probably had some disdain for women.

Everyone knew that the office adjacent to the CEO’s office on the top floor was the company’s heart. Seeing that there wasn’t a single woman in sight, Claire couldn’t help but wonder if Sean held a relatively low opinion of
