Chapter 13 A Bold Proposition

Sean raised an eyebrow, bending over to pick up the script from the round

table.

Claire looked down at the script in her hands. “Sir, do you think there’s a problem somewhere?”

However, Sean held the script without opening it and casually replied, “The opening.”

The opening?

Claire believed her opening was slightly too ambiguous, but it had no outrageous plot points. She read through the opening scene carefully from beginning to end, then furrowed her brow in confusion.

“I think it’s fine, but there’s a bit…”

Suddenly, she looked up, casting a skeptical glance at Sean. “Mr. Vanderbilt, are you an old-fashioned person? Is it not allowed to have any romantic tension in the story?”

Old-fashioned?

Him?

Sean’s expression grew serious. “I don’t oppose romantic tension, but your logic is flawed.”

Placing the script on her lap, Claire earnestly engaged in the discussion. “Where is my logic flawed? The book has been out for almost four years, and

no one has ever said that my story has flawed logic.”

She hadn’t graduated with an English literature degree, but her language

skills were solid. Moreover, it was just a simple romance novel, not

incredibly profound.

This book had simple language and realistic character development. How could Claire’s logic be flawed?

She didn’t believe it!

Sean threw the script back onto the table without even looking at it. “Two strangers did something inappropriate on their first meeting. Claire, does that make sense to you?”

He called her “Claire” so naturally, as though he had said it countless times before. The sound made Claire’s heart tingle and ache like she had been electrified.

He looked at her with a gentle and composed gaze, deliberately restraining his sharpness. Under his eye, Claire’s heart raced uncontrollably.

Clearly, they were having a serious discussion about the script, so why was her heart uncontrollably racing?

Suddenly, Claire couldn’t bear to hold his gaze any longer. She lowered her head in a fluster, her fingers absentmindedly creasing the corners of the script. “Of course, it makes sense because a man would never reject a pretty woman who takes the initiative and makes a bold proposition.”

She spoke as if she understood men very well.
