90 - Clara's Dad
Sebastian’s driver dropped Clara at the hotel around 7 am. She wouldn’t let him drive her just in case someone was watching. The driver dropped her off at the back entrance to prevent people from seeing her at the breakfast bar. She still needed to get ready for work and meet her staff for breakfast. People can speculate about their relationship all they want, but if they could avoid any drama, she wanted to avoid it as much as possible.
She was in an excellent mood, so she helped wake up her brothers from their slumber by jumping on their beds and tickling them before she went back to her hotel room.
The meeting this morning looked rough. It seems like the staff had too much fun at dinner last night. ‘Okay, I leave you guys for one night, and you went all out and partied from the looks of your bloodshot eyes today. Please don’t let this affect our schedule.

Clara blushed, but as the elevator door opened, they had to separate and pretend they were not there together. But with the number of people riding the lift, Clara got backed into the corner, and he took that opportunity to hold her hand. He laced their fingers together and hid their hands behind him. There was a need deep inside him to constantly touch her, kiss her, or just be with her. For the first time in his life, he wanted to defy all conventions and follow her around like a lost puppy all day so he could protect her.

Celine hurried her steps, and when she passed the post covering the person talking to her dad, it surprised her to learn that she knew this person. Clara? Max’s sister was making her father laugh. How? ‘Hi, dad!’ she said, ‘It’s nice to hear you laughing again.’ ‘Oh my, Celine, come and meet my friend. Her name’s Clara. She’s the funniest person I’ve met,’ He said, wiping the tears from his eyes and reaching out to kiss his daughter. ‘Clara, this is my daughter, Celine, the one I was telling you about.’ Envy squeezed at Clara’s heart.

Clara's Mystery 93 - Jeremy
Lunch had been an enjoyable event. That morning, Clara received a few calls from Lana about the New York bid. Rowan was still insistent on having SST install their security system in his office. But she had to talk to her brothers about it. After that, another company wanted to schedule a demonstration, so she set that up too. Having her appointment, one after another, all in the morning, freed the rest of her day. So she could have lunch with her father and then spend more time with Baz after. She was looking forward to dinner so she could spend time with her team, find out what they’ve been up to, and then head over to Baz’s house. She hadn’t seen her brothers in a while, so she headed to their makeshift office. Jeremy had been busy since yesterday, connecting all the hardware with the software. Making sure that both systems were in sync. If there was

Wednesday When Clara opened her eyes, the sun had already risen, ‘Oh no,’ she thought, ‘Baz must have thought I bailed out on him. I didn’t even send him a message before I took a nap. I’m such a horrible girlfriend.’ She was scrambling to find her phone when she realized somebody had pinned her down. Who was lying beside her? One of her brothers, probably sleeping like they own the bed all the time, pushed her to the side. ‘Ugh! Time to chuck you over, buddy,’ she thought, planning to push the person beside her to the floor, ‘Hehehe... You won’t know what hit you,’ she thought as she started on her plan. But then she recognized her boyfriend’s nicely toned arms and his scent, her nose picked up the body wash he used in the shower, and she smiled instead, snuggling cl

‘Sebastian!’ ‘Ms. Johnson!’ ‘Sebastian!’ ‘He’s on an important call!’ I need to talk to you right now. ‘I told her you can’t... she barged right in,’ Clara and Lexi shouted over each other as they walked into his office. ‘Let me call you back,’ Sebastian says to the person on the phone when he sees Clara coming to see him. He had a big smile on his face. ‘Here’s my love,’ he thought. ‘It’s okay, Lexi. I’ll take care of Clara.’ Lexi grumbled on his way out. ‘You look furious right now. What happened?’ He asked as he stood up. ‘How many sleazebags do you employ in your office? Was the one harassing me not enough? Do you have one in every department I should know about?’ she ask
Clara's Mystery 96 - The Confrontation
Clara loved Max, but the way he has been handling his affairs with women lately did not go well with her. He was the “sleep with them and forget ‘em type.” Most of them knew what they were getting into, but the women always hoped he would develop enough feelings to turn him into the man of their dreams. Max and Clara fought about this issue before, and Clara eventually caved and let him lead his own life, still hoping that when he met the love of his life, he’d settle down and change. Not knowing where they went, all she could do was wait for him. It was only 2 pm, and she had 3 hours to figure a way to talk to him so they can talk about this amicably. So maybe it was right for them not to talk right now because she would probably just scream at him, and everything might explode in their face. ‘We hav
Clara's Mystery 97 - Sisters
Max wiped a hand across his eyes, wiping the anguish away. He did not want to argue with Clara, but he had to bring his point across. His future was on the line. ‘Do you know why I never have long-lasting relationships? Because the minute I tell them I’m an orphan, their attitudes change. Even though we have our own company and we are rich, they don’t care about that,’ he looks away, ‘I have no family, so I am not good enough for them. Ask Jere why he doesn’t have a relationship. It’s because people see us as rejects.’ Clara wanted to hug Max right now, her brother did not deserve this treatment from people. It made her mad. Then he went after her to get his point across, ‘Why did you wait ‘til you met Sebastian Clara? Have you met his parents? Did you tell them you’re an orphan? Oh yeah, how convenient, yo
Clara's Mystery 98 - Orphans
‘So, Clara, I know you’re my older sister, and thank you for looking out for me, but I want to make my own decisions regarding Max,’ Celine heads over and gives him a fierce hug. The affection between them was very evident. ‘Max, I heard everything you said, and I don’t care if you’re an orphan. You took care of my sister all these years, and that makes all the difference. You’ve been coming to see me every weekend. And it really showed me how dedicated you are to our relationship.’ Celine brings her hands up to his face. ‘And I love you. I won’t ever let anyone come between us. I’m stubborn, just as you are. There is no chance I will ever let go of something as beautiful as what we have.’ ‘Oh, Celine, I love you too, and I’m sorry about earlier.’ He kisses her passionately. ‘You see why I did what I did earlier? It was because of Clara and this enormou
