The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins (Sean and Claire) novel Chapter 13

Chapter 13 A Bold Proposition

Sean raised an eyebrow, bending over to pick up the script from the round

table.

Claire looked down at the script in her hands. “Sir, do you think there’s a problem somewhere?”

However, Sean held the script without opening it and casually replied, “The opening.”

The opening?

Claire believed her opening was slightly too ambiguous, but it had no outrageous plot points. She read through the opening scene carefully from beginning to end, then furrowed her brow in confusion.

“I think it’s fine, but there’s a bit…”

Suddenly, she looked up, casting a skeptical glance at Sean. “Mr. Vanderbilt, are you an old-fashioned person? Is it not allowed to have any romantic tension in the story?”

Old-fashioned?

Him?

Sean’s expression grew serious. “I don’t oppose romantic tension, but your logic is flawed.”

Placing the script on her lap, Claire earnestly engaged in the discussion. “Where is my logic flawed? The book has been out for almost four years, and

no one has ever said that my story has flawed logic.”

She hadn’t graduated with an English literature degree, but her language

skills were solid. Moreover, it was just a simple romance novel, not

incredibly profound.

This book had simple language and realistic character development. How could Claire’s logic be flawed?

She didn’t believe it!

Sean threw the script back onto the table without even looking at it. “Two strangers did something inappropriate on their first meeting. Claire, does that make sense to you?”

He called her “Claire” so naturally, as though he had said it countless times before. The sound made Claire’s heart tingle and ache like she had been electrified.

He looked at her with a gentle and composed gaze, deliberately restraining his sharpness. Under his eye, Claire’s heart raced uncontrollably.

Clearly, they were having a serious discussion about the script, so why was her heart uncontrollably racing?

Suddenly, Claire couldn’t bear to hold his gaze any longer. She lowered her head in a fluster, her fingers absentmindedly creasing the corners of the script. “Of course, it makes sense because a man would never reject a pretty woman who takes the initiative and makes a bold proposition.”

She spoke as if she understood men very well.

Frowning, Sean asked, “Who told you that?”

Claire, not convinced, lifted her head to meet his gaze once again. “Isn’t

that the case?”

Sean sneered, and his gaze suddenly turned very aggressive as he looked at her. “I’m not like that!”

“Tch.”

Claire rolled her eyes with disdain. Whether he was like that or not, who knows!

Anyway, this was the first and only time she had ever been in this kind of situation.

Sean looked at her skeptical expression, then raised his hand and beckoned to Claire with his finger. “Don’t believe me? If you don’t, you can give it a try.”

Give it a try?

How was she supposed to do that?

Was he asking her to make a bold move on him?

This …

Claire felt a bit frustrated. She had never done this kind of thing in her life, and … and doing that kind of thing in front of Xander’s elder would be so embarrassing.

Suddenly, Mr. Smith’s words echoed in her mind. “If the big boss disagrees, the film can’t be shot. The whole crew will be left waiting.””

Now Sean was blocking her way with this issue. If she couldn’t convince him, she would bear the brunt of the consequences, and the entire crew would blame her.

With these thoughts in mind, she gritted her teeth, slammed the script onto the round table, and stood up determinedly. “Fine, I’ll give it a try then. Who’s afraid of who!”

The words were out, but her bravado wavered slightly as she moved towards Seán.

After all, that man exuded an aura of strict self-control, and her legs trembled a bit. “That … that’s it, I’ve really come over. Just… just

don’t hit me,” she said with a quiver in her voice.

Sean chuckled softly, “Aren’t you the one who said men won’t reject a woman who takes the initiative?”

The way he put it…
