The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins (Sean and Claire) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 The Old Fuddy-Duddy

Although they hadn’t seen Sean in person, they had heard that he loathed social gatherings and dining with strangers.

He was the lone wolf, always standing at the top of the pyramid. He commanded

everyone’s attention, and no one dared to approach him.

Elena grinned as she raised her hand to stroke a strand of hair near her ear.

I just extended the invitation. Whether he comes or not is still uncertain.”

She was curious to know if Sean was interested in her. She was only interested in using this as a test.

On the other hand, Julia was joyously whirling around before Claire. “Claire, Claire, the big boss hand-picked coffee for you! As I said earlier, he treats you differently!”

Claire finished her coffee and threw the cup into a nearby garbage can.

She wasn’t overjoyed and didn’t think a cup of coffee indicated Sean treated her differently than others.

“Julia, don’t get too excited. I don’t have any special feelings for him. He is simply Xander’s great-grandfather.””

“What?” Julia stopped in her tracks and stared at Claire in disbelief. “Claire, did you just say what I think you said?”

Claire shook her head and frowned her brow. “Julia, he regards me as a junior in his eyes. Isn’t it natural for seniors to look after their juniors? Don’t

be like Elena and her assistant, who always overthinks things. If you mistake

someone’s intentions, it will be embarrassing.”

Julia was left speechless. Claire had told her about what happened last night regarding Xander’s great-grandfather. He must be so old!

He obviously wouldn’t have any bad intentions against Claire for a man his age. Even if he did, she shouldn’t be thrilled. She should be furious!

After all, Claire was beautiful, talented, and wealthy. She could find any attractive man she desired. There was no need for her to feel flattered by some old fuddy-duddy.

On set, the night scenes lasted until the early morning hours. Mr. Smith finally let everyone go around 2 o’clock in the morning.

Claire was so sleepy when she returned to the motel that she fell asleep as soon as her head was on the pillow. Julia knocked on her door as though she had only closed her eyes for a few seconds.

“Claire, wake up! It’s time to get to work.”

Claire thought it entertaining to stand in front of the mirror and see the dark circles under her eyes as if she’d been punched.

She yawned, applied makeup to the dark circles under her eyes, and headed out

the door.

Claire came to her resting area feeling weary and sat down. She was unable to move after finishing analyzing the scenes with Xander, Mason, and Elena.

Julia gave her a concerned glance and said, “Claire, how about you take a quick nap? I’ll wake you up when Mr. Smith needs your assistance.”

Claire was exhausted. She nodded and was ready to close her eyes when the producer entered. He clasped his hands to draw everyone’s attention and said, have some good news for you all

Everyone stopped their work and turned to look at him.

The producer looked around the room before settling on Elena’s face. He smiled and said, “We received a call from the Mr.Vanderbilt. He has agreed to have dinner with us. The date and time have been scheduled for today at 6 p.m. Nobody from the crew may be absent.”

Claire hadn’t fallen asleep yet. She stood up and walked over after hearing the producer’s words. “Mr. Smith, I’m too tired. I won’t be able to make it this afternoon.”

“How can that be?” The producer frowned in displeasure. “It was specifically stated that no one from the crew may be absent. You can’t create an exception, Ms. Lawrence!”

Claire swallowed after feeling discomfort in her throat. Her brow felt feverish. She might have caught a cold.

Then, she patiently explained, “I was out last night and caught a chill from the night breeze. I also didn’t sleep enough last night, so I might

“Ms. Lawrence, you’re being too particular!”

Elena’s assistant looked at Claire with disdain. “We all worked late last

night. It’s not only you who has a cold or a bad night’s sleep. Even my

precious Elena woke up coughing this morning. She is still working hard. It’s all about professionalism!”

Mr. Smith conveyed his concern for Elena right away. “Ah? Elena, are you coughing?”

The producer was also concerned. “Elena, you’re the female lead. You cannot afford to become ill. If you’re not feeling well, the entire crew cannot shoot properly.”

Elena covered her mouth with her hand and pretended to cough a few times. She furrowed her eyebrows in discomfort and said, “Ahem … ahem. It’s not
