The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins (Sean and Claire) novel Chapter 21

Chapter 21 They Might Believe We Are Jealous

Upon hearing the sound, everyone turned to see Elena gracefully walking out of the room. She was wearing a flowing ivory gown that trailed behind her, and her assistant was constantly adjusting it.

The neckline was shallow and revealed a lot of skin.

Julia rolled her eyes and exclaimed, “Oh my goodness! Everyone knows we’re just going out to eat. But anyone who doesn’t know would think she’s on the red carpet!”

This dress was too expensive for dinner.

Claire chuckled and grabbed Julia’s waist as she whispered, “Keep your voice down. Others might believe we’re jealous if they hear us.”

Julia snorted dismissively. “No way. Who is going to notice us now?”

Others were oblivious to their chat because everyone focused on Elena.

“Elena, believe me when I say you’ll captivate the boss if you dress like this. What man wouldn’t be attracted by your features and figure?”

Elena chuckled lightly and looked around the room while apologizing. “I’m sorry for the delay. It took some time to get ready. Thank you for being so

patient.”

“It wasn’t long at all. We’ve just been waiting for a short time. Beautiful women are worth the wait,” someone said.

Elena was ready to say something when her attention was drawn to Claire. She

snickered as she examined Claire’s fluffy sweater, “Ms. Lawrence, it’s the peak of summer. Why are you dressed like this?”

Claire glanced at her and said, “Can’t I feel cold?”

“Of course, you can. There’s no problem at all,” Elena said as she approached Mr. Smith’s luxurious car. “Ms. Lawrence, just don’t walk with me looking like that. If the paparazzi catch us together, they’ll assume I’m all about style and no substance.”

“Who cares about walking with you!”

Julia grumbled and grabbed Claire’s hand. Then, they walked towards their

car

The dinner was arranged at Golden Splendor, Silverton’s most luxurious and expensive restaurant.

More than having money was needed to get anyone a seat here. To dine and entertain here, someone must make a reservation a week in advance and be a member who has paid a membership fee of five hundred thousand dollars.

When the film crew arrived, the manager greeted them at the entrance.

“Is this the crew of ‘The Twenty-Fifth Hour”?”

Mr. Smith stood in the foreground and nodded graciously. “Yes, that’s us.”

The manager smiled and complimented, “Mr. Sean has cleared the venue. Today Golden Splendor is especially welcoming all of you as special guests. Please follow me inside.”

“Wow!” Elena’s assistant nearly jumped up. She was unable to control her excitement. “Elena, Mr. Vanderbilt has reserved the entire Golden Splendor for you! This scale is far too enormous!”

Not only her but the entire crew was overjoyed.

“It’s my first time dining in such a luxurious place. Hehe. I’m overwhelmed. What should I do?”

“Overwhelmed? Don’t be silly! The big boss didn’t invite you. He invited

Elena.”

“Exactly! Haha! Most of us would never have entered such a prestigious place if it weren’t for Elena.”

Elena remained silent and basked in their words’ satisfaction. She elevated

her chin and strived to portray arrogance.

Julia rolled her eyes and mumbled to Claire, “He’s just an old man, isn’t he? Is it necessary for her to act in such a manner? Why does Elena look so proud? What should I do if I really want to slap his face?”

An old man?

Claire strained to contain her laugh. She held it in without saying anything as she followed Julia through the crowd.

The manager brought them to the most luxurious private room’s entrance. He bent down and grabbed the door doorknob. Even though no one could see Mr. Vanderbilt, his profound reverence was carved in his bones, making the entire

crew nervous.

Everyone held their breath. They imagined that the door in front of them was not just a door to a private room but also a portal to another era.

The door slowly opened before their eyes. The private room was spacious. It has an ancient and magnificent design reminiscent of imperial splendor. A splendid screen divided each dinner table. The screen was covered with superb, expensive embroidery that complemented the oak dining chairs.

There were just two men inside. A respectable figure standing and a beautifully posed one seated.

Even though they had never seen the legendary Mr. Sean, they could guess who the seated man was.

Elena had asked the producer about Sean’s information. She had expected the mysterious figure from the Ascalon to be an overweight middle-aged guy with power. But she had not expected him to be so young with a polished and

handsome face.

He just sat there, yet his presence filled the room and discouraged anyone from approaching him too quickly.

She was surprised with only one look!
