7 Chapter 7. You Must Be Kidding Me!

"Joona, I haven't even asked you anything."

"I already know what you want to say, so before you say it, I have to said no." Gerald promptly closed his eyes and looked away. Claire, who heard their discussion frowned, she didn't know what was really going on.

"What's this, Grandpa?" Claire asked in a curious but annoyed tone. Now Gerald was confused about how to explain it to Claire. He hadn't told his granddaughter about their matchmaking plans.

"Precious, I will explain to you later honey, wait a minute, okay?" Claire became even more confused. Arjoona snorted with a sneer.

"Huh ... Precious, cute name..." He muttered quietly, but Claire heard him. Her eyes widened, and started to get angry.

"Are you mocking at my name now?" Claire scolded in a half-screaming tone. Arjoona instead smiled mockingly and shrugged his shoulders.

"Who do you think you are, I can fire you now!" Claire added again, and now her voice began to rise. Arjoona, who feels offended, started to challenge her.

"Oh yes, please just fire me if you can."

"I'm the CEO here, I'm your boss, and don't forget that!"

"You don't need to be arrogant, you've been reciting your position many times and I'm not deaf!"

"If your ears are still functioning well, you should know what your position is! "

"Ooh, I know what my position is, but what kind of boss who can only threaten to fire her employee whenever she got mad. For me, it seems like she doesn't have any other abilities."

" You don't know that I can make your career ruined!"

" Oh now you have been threatening my career's path, okay, just try it if you can "

Both Arjoona and Claire started to raise their tone voices, and Gerald, who was in the middle, was almost overwhelmed to hold the two of them who ready to fight.

"ENOUGH!!" Gerald shouted to break up and took a deep breath. He held his chest a few times, and Claire gazed straight at her grandfather.

"Are you okay, Grandpa?" Claire asked softly, her tone and behavior completely changing to 180 degrees. Arjoona, who saw, was shocked and surprised. Claire held and stroked her grandfather's chest. Gerald saw her face and shook his head.

"Don't argue anymore, you are in the same company. If our competitors see this, it will be a scandal." Gerald said in a low tone, then glanced alternately at Arjoona and Claire.

"Now you know each other, although it's not an introduction that I want but it's okay. I understand." Gerald then stepped to his desk. Arjoona and Claire glanced at each other for a moment, then frowned. Claire approached her grandfather, who was already sitting in his working chair.

"Joona, my offer is still the same, rethink about it. I beg you." Arjoona still shook his head. Gerald yet hadn't given up on convincing Arjoona.

"I'll give you two days to think about it for."

"But Sir ..."

"Please, give me a wise and calm decision in two days." Arjoona snorted in distress. The answer was clearly no. Why he kept forcing him to agree to the marriage contract. Claire still didn't understand what her grandfather and Arjoona were talking about, but she didn't want to ask any further.

"There's no point in waiting for two days sir, my answer is still the same." Gerald sighed heavily. He paused for a moment looking at Joona.

"Give your answer in two days Joona, this is an order. Don't argue with me anymore. Now, let's meet again the day after tomorrow." Arjoona was annoyed. He quickly turned around without saying goodbye and left the office in a situation that wanted to destroy something. After Arjoona came out, Claire began asking her grandfather what happened.

"What are you really planning, Grandpa?" Claire asked and smiled at her grandfather.

"Come here Honey, I need to talk to you." Gerald pulled Claire's hand gently towards the sofa where he had been sitting earlier. Gerald sat next to Claire and took one hand.

"You know, that I've been planning to inherit this Winthrop Corp for you?" Claire had turned into a good girl, nodded with a smile.

"In the will that has been arranged, one of the conditions is that you have to have a husband to become the top leader of Winthrop Corp." Claire nodded with a smile.

"If that so, I just have to married Louis, right?" Claire replied quickly with a happy smile. Gerald only responded with a faint smile.

"No, Precious, not him but another man." Claire frowned. Her boyfriend is Louis why she should marry another man.

"But my boyfriend is Louis, Grandpa!"

"Yes, but he's not a good man." Claire snorted irritably and frowned. For her, Louis is the best one.

"But, grandpa...."

"No, I will never bless that man to be your husband... forever!" Claire was a little stumped, and Gerald smiled as he shook his head. Being 22 years old didn't make Claire any more mature.

"Then who I should marry?" Gerald smiled

"Arjoona Harristian!" Gerald replied without hesitation. Suddenly, Claire was shocked and screamed to her feet from her seat.

"WHAT!!"

Meanwhile, Arjoona, who had a worse mood when he arrived at his office, slammed the door when he entered. David, who was already inside, was shocked and opened his mouth.

"What happened?" asked David, looking at Arjoona in surprise. Arjoona, who realized that David saw him, was just kept quiet and walked to his table. He completely lost his concentration now.

"Are you okay, Bro?" David asked again. Arjoona just snorted and then covered his face with his hands.

"I argued with the new boss!" Arjoona finally answered. David still opened his mouth and nodded. He scratched the fold and kept asking the question.

"Why did you fight with her?" asked David again.

"Because she's too fussy and a quarrelsome... damn!" Arjoona quickly blurted out cursed, and he closed his eyes and shook his head several times. David pursed his lips and held back his smile. After all this time, no woman could make Arjoona burst into his emotions like that.

"She's just a girl, Bro, please understand!"

"What did you say?" Arjoona shouted quickly. David defended her instead. David instead shook his head and smiled.

"I mean, you can just give in..."

"To her? ... No way! That girl should know how to apologize, she thinks she's great, and then she can be arrogantly proud like that!" Arjoona cursed longer. David nodded again and tried to understand. Even so, David is happy because it seems that now a woman has caught Arjoona's attention.

"Is she beautiful?" David teased the more it provoked Joona. Arjoona frowned at David.

"Why do you even ask that?" David shrugged his shoulders.

"Maybe because everyone says she's pretty," David replied casually. Arjoona snorted instead.

"How can she be so cocky and you still call her a beauty, it just makes me cringe more. Pretty my ass!" Arjoona was still annoyed and slammed some documents. He could not tell about the matchmaking plan, what would happen if people found out that he was about to be married to the cocky and arrogant Claire Winthrop. Ah, the doomsday was better to arrive soon than marrying that woman.
