Chapter 14 She Kissed Him?
She kissed him?
She actually kissed him first!
Claire had no experience in this area. Her romance life was like a blank sheet of paper, except for that accidental incident four years ago.
She didn’t know what to do next. After enduring for more than ten seconds, she realized that Sean still hadn’t responded. She opened her eyes and unexpectedly locked gazes with him. His eyes deepened slightly, fixedly staring at her.
It seemed she had really lost. And lost quite thoroughly.
Feeling defeated and disappointed, she lowered her eyelids and slowly moved away.
Just as she was about to leave, a pair of large hands suddenly pressed against her back. Her body turned, and she fell into Sean’s warm embrace.
She looked at him in astonishment, not even having time to speak, before Sean directly kissed her.
Sean had waited for Claire in Silverton for four years.
It wasn’t that he loved her so much, nor did he hate her that deeply. He was simply unwilling to accept it.
No one dared to do something audacious to him, let alone leave without his permission.

He thought that once he captured Claire, he could take revenge for that daring night. However…
She had returned. She looked like she did four years ago, with the same inherent innocence. It was as if, despite the passage of time and the world’s corrupting influence, she still held onto her purity, living freely and
unrestrained.
He envied the purity that radiated from her inside out. He cherished the innocence in her eyes. She was like a mirror, reflecting a side of him he had never possessed.
That lingering unwillingness had transformed into a sense of possession. Sean Wanted Claire to remain as she was now, under his protection.
Hmm…
Suddenly, Claire felt something pressing against her lower body, making her uncomfortable. She furrowed her brows.
After all, they were both adults. Some things were self-evident.
Placing her hands on Sean’s shoulders, she suddenly exerted force, pushing him away with a strong push, and then quickly jumped out of his embrace.
“Hahaha …”
Blushing, Claire covered her mouth and burst into laughter. “Sir, I won!”
Sean was stunned.
He was emotionally moved, yet she only cared about winning or losing?
She really was something!
“Well,” he nodded, his deep voice slightly hoarse. “You won. What reward do you want?”
“A reward…”

Claire removed her hand from her mouth, walked to the edge of the round table, and picked up the script she had angrily thrown onto the table earlier. She playfully shook it at Sean and said, “Of course, you need to relent and let the production team proceed with normal filming.”
Sean chuckled softly, his slender fingers leisurely fastening a button. “I’m afraid it’s not that simple.”
“Not that simple?” Claire grew anxious. “I won fair and square. Why is it still not possible?”

Sean stood up, elegantly adjusted his suit, then raised his gaze to look at her. “You promised to treat me to a meal yesterday but haven’t fulfilled that promise.”
Just for this?
Was he going to keep holding onto this to exert pressure on her?
Claire felt a bit frustrated. Any problem that could be solved with money wasn’t really a problem!
“Fine.” She put the script into her bag. “I’ll treat you to a meal. But you mustn’t hold onto my script any longer. Otherwise, the entire crew will probably skin me alive.”
“They wouldn’t dare.”
His voice had returned to its original state, deep and magnetic, like a bottle of well-aged wine, rich enough to impregnate the ears.
Claire slung her bag over her shoulder and scrunched her nose at him. “You say they wouldn’t dare, but how do you know? I’m just a lowly scriptwriter. They may treat me well now, but if the filming gets delayed because of me, they’ll make my life difficult.”
Cutting off someone’s money was akin to killing their parents, a lesson she had always understood.
Even though everyone seemed friendly and cooperative, they would all be furious if you tried to delay them by a couple of days or prevent them from starting work.
Sean had already lifted his foot and inserted his right hand into his pocket, walking toward the door. “Then, you better quickly treat me to that meal.”
Claire didn’t dare to linger and hurriedly followed.
As they left, the people in the office area were busy with their tasks, casually glancing at them.
Once they stepped into the elevator and their figures disappeared completely, a group of men gathered together.
“Did anyone see how flushed that girl’s face was…”
“I saw it!” Someone quickly raised their hand. “And Mr. Sean… Hehe. With a smug look on his face, obviously, he succeeded!”
“Speaking of the past, how many women used to chase after Mr. Sean, all of whom were sexy, alluring, and had countless feminine charms. But Mr. Sean didn t even spare them a glance. Now he’s taken a fancy to this young woman. Tsk, tsk.”
“Well, that can only mean this young woman happened to tickle Mr. Sean’s aesthetic preferences.”
Next to them, Victor coughed forcefully and said, “I’ve seen my fair share of gossiping women, but it’s my first time seeing a group of big gentlemen gathered together for gossip.”
“Victor!” Someone stretched their neck and asked him with a grin, “Did Mr. Sean stay in Silverton for four years just to wait for her?”
Victor’s face was set in a grim expression. “We should be careful about what we say about Mr. Sean. He’s not someone to be trifled with.”
The person pouted, feeling it wasn’t fun, and the group dispersed.
Victor walked to the side, took out his phone, opened the Facebook post, and reread Sean’s reply. He let out a long sigh of relief in his heart.
Although he had misunderstood Mr. Sean’s intentions earlier, thankfully, he hadn’t taken action against Claire, nor had he shown her any hostility. Otherwise, he would have ended up like Valeria and the others, having to pack up and leave.
However, Mr. Sean’s intentions were complicated to fathom. He had been so angry back then, but now …
Suddenly, Claire sneezed, raising her hand to rub her little nose, and she followed closely by Sean’s side.
“Caught a cold?” Sean turned his head and looked at her with concern in his
eyes.
“No.” Claire waved her hand nonchalantly. “My nose just itches a bit. I’m perfectly fine.”
The company was in the city center, and Claire had already walked two blocks with Sean. Along the way, they passed numerous upscale shops and high-end hotels.
Whenever they passed by a luxury hotel, Claire pretended not to see, turning her face away.

Seeing another high-end restaurant up ahead, Sean glanced at Claire from the corner of his eye. As expected, the young girl had already turned her face to the side, automatically shielding her vision.
He silently curled his lips but didn’t remind her.
He enjoyed walking on the street with her, feeling relaxed and content. However, Claire seemed a bit distant from him, keeping a gap of about half a meter between them as if they were strangers.
Sean didn’t like this feeling.
“Hey, I don’t care. I want that bag! Don’t you run away from me. Rocky, come back here!”
A man suddenly ran out from a designer handbag store in front of them. Upor hearing his girlfriend’s call, he turned back and ran toward them like a mad
man. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Frowning, Sean grabbed Claire’s arm and pulled her forcefully, causing her to stumble and accidentally bump into him…
