The Billionaire’s Surprise Twins by A Young Cabbage

Chapter 8 Perfunctory Answer

Claire smiled, her eyes curved into two crescent moons. She withdrew her hand behind her back and tilted her head slightly as she looked into Sean’s eyes. “I have no relation to Xander, so why should I address him as a peer?”

Today, Claire had deliberately chosen to wear a white casual shirt to assert her dominance during negotiations with Robert and Xander. Though her attire leaned towards a professional look, in Sean’s eyes, she still resembled an inexperienced young girl.

This was due to her pair of clear, watery eyes that were transparent to the core, free from any impurities, as if they held the purest thing in this world.

Sean had seen Claire in different outfits, from sexy black silk pajamas to casual shirts to professional attire. She could look sexy or innocent, meticulous or carefree, but her eyes always showed her innocence.

That pair of eyes was tender enough to make his heart itch.

He deliberately put on a stern expression. “Your father also calls me Mr.

Sean.”

“So what?” Claire shrugged indifferently. “You’re so young and good-looking.- If I call you Mr. Sean, won’t that make you sound old?”

Sean furrowed his brows. “I’m good-looking?”

This description was something he had never heard before.

When people praised a man, they usually used terms like handsome, attractive,

or dashing. Why did it become “good-looking” when Claire said it?

Claire nodded. “Yes, you’re good-looking. You’re the most handsome man I’ve

ever seen.”

Just then, Claire’s phone suddenly rang. She took it out and saw that it was a call from Julia. She was probably going crazy with worry by now.

Claire waved her phone at Sean. “Sir, thank you for today. I have something to do, so I’ll leave first. Bye.”

She had only taken a couple of steps when Sean’s voice echoed behind her. “How do you plan to thank me?”

Claire stopped in her tracks and turned around to look at him. He had a serious expression, as if he genuinely expected her to express her gratitude.

He actually took her words seriously…

She pretended to think seriously for a moment, then smiled slightly at him. “Let’s have dinner some other time.”
