Chapter 11 Did She Just Collide with a Wall?

Claire gave them a cold glance, neither speaking nor moving.

Valeria was furious and shouted, “Why are you even asking her? If she could leave alone, would I have called you over? Get her out of here now, don’t let her sully our company’s reputation!”

The two security guards didn’t waste any more words, and they walked toward Claire.

Victor called out from behind them, his voice filled with urgency. “What are you doing?” he asked.

The security guards were about to grab Claire’s arm, but they quickly retracted it.

Valeria’s expression changed the moment she heard Victor’s voice. Her arrogance and haughtiness vanished, replaced by a fawning and ingratiating demeanor as if she were speaking to her mother. “Mr. Garcia.”

Valeria saw Sean following Victor towards them. Her voice softened and became sweeter. “Mr. Vanderbilt.”

Sean walked straight up to them, not sparing a glance at Valeria. His profound gaze landed directly on Claire’s face.

Upon seeing him, Claire was stunned. “Mr. Vanderbilt?”

Valeria had yet to figure out the situation and assumed that Sean and Victor were leaving. She hurriedly tried to take credit, “Mr. Vanderbilt, this woman impersonated C. S. Lawrence and wanted to see you. I was just about to have

the security escort her out. Why don’t you wait a moment? You can come over after we’ve driven her out, so you won’t have to stain your eyes.”

Her sultry voice was somewhat forced, and the way she held her throat made Victor shiver with goosebumps.

Sean furrowed his brow slightly. His gaze remained fixed on Claire’s face, but his voice was surprisingly gentle, “Why didn’t you call me when something happened at the company?”

“Call… call you?” Valeria initially thought Sean was speaking to her. She was momentarily puzzled but quickly covered her mouth and giggled shyly. “Mr. Vanderbilt, it’s just a minor issue. I can handle it. There’s no need to trouble you. Moreover, I don’t have your phone number.”

Victor was beyond frustrated. Valeria was the HR manager, and they only had a little contact. She had never even come close to someone like Sean before.

In their few previous interactions, Valeria had been speaking normally. Why did she act this way in front of Sean now?

“Ms. Lopez, Mr. Vanderbilt wasn’t talking to you!”

Valeria’s face froze as she followed Sean’s gaze and realized he had been looking at Claire all along.
