Chapter Eleven: Dangerous Silence

Adan offered his hand to shake but Clair did not pull her hands from her coat leaving him a bit embarrassed. Instead, Yaci shook his hand."I am her assistant Yaci Lewis." Yaci shook Adan's hand and did the same with Jace.

"Excuse me I didn't mean to be rude, you can say I am a clean freak,'' Clair explained with a fake smile. Adam nodded awkwardly. Clair had misunderstood him. Adan had kept his eyes on Clair since she came in and was looking at her with major interest, this made Clair think he was having ulterior purposes or lustful thoughts of her. She didn't want to think of herself as a narcissist but situations like this had happened in the past way too often. It is only fair for her to take precautions. There have been a handful of psychopaths that she has met.

Adan and Clair took a seat. Jace and Yaci remained standing. Jace handed Adan a file and Adan placed it on the table for Clair to take a look. Yaci gave Clair another file and she did the same.

Clair took the file Adan handed to her and went through it very carefully because it's the contract she will sing. Meanwhile, Adan looked over the profit numbers and took out his cellphone. He took a picture of them and sent them to his brother. He waited for a response and a minute later he got a simple text message from his brother.

[Sing It.]

Clair closed the contract and Yaci handed her a pen. She played with the pen for a bit and looked up to see Adan's facial expression."Adan right?" She asked and Adan nodded.

Clair placed the pen down and crossed one leg over the other. She crossed her arms and gave him a serious expression."Why is the CEO not here?" Clair asked after a long dangerous silence.

Adan froze. Jace coughed. Under Clair's intimidating eyes Adam naturally straightened his back as if he were the soldier ready to be scolded by his general. This is because he has already gotten used to this kind of treatment from his brother. Now meeting someone as similar to his brother's character he couldn't help but act in full respect towards Clair.

"He had something come up last minute Ms.Yves."He responded. Under the table he messaged his brother telling him that she asked for him.

[Deal with it.] This was all he got from his brother.

"Really? I wonder what is so important that the CEO had to leave or is it that I am not important enough to take his time."Clair questioned highlighting some of her words.

Adan got nervous under her intense gaze and tried to come up with anything. He had a feeling that just her glare could cut him into small little pieces. This contract came as very important for the company and he could not mess it up. If his brother did not have something else to do which he is not aware of, then his brother would be here instead of him.

"No no that is not the case." He denied. "Then what is the case?" Clair asked, still maintaining a threatening gaze over Adan. Even Yaci could not help but shiver at the dark aura Clair was giving.

"My brother has a special condition. He can't be close to the opposite sex."Adan blurted out. Clair scoffed."Should I have not shown up either then? I am a clean freak so I should not have made the effort to come all the way here to meet up with him. It's truly surprising how he can't show up to the meeting he scheduled."

Now Clair was completely pissed off. If it were any other small matter she would let it go but STAR LUSH Corporation is not any lower than DavisJoe enterprises. She can't let down her pride from some arrogant bastard. Not just that but his little brother had the guts to lie to her face. This is completely unacceptable. She also has important things to do.

"So you're telling me he has an allergy to the opposite sex right?" She asked again. Adan nodded nervously."Even though your brother does not have his face shown around to the media much but I can say he does have his scandals plastered across the media.All of them with different actresses and models claiming to be his woman."

Clair had indeed done her research on him. She always has done this and this time is not any different."No, I think you misunderstood my brother is not like that and those were made up by the woman. He would never even be an inch close to them…."All his words were pointless because Clair stubbornly refused to listen to any explanations.

She took the pen and quickly signed it without a word. Adan helplessly sighed and also signed it. Taking a copy for herself Clair stood up ready to leave.

"Have a nice day Mr.Davis say hi to your brother for me," Clair told him already facing the door to leave. Yaci followed behind her with the files in her hand. She too was very disappointed at the meeting.

Adan sighed and texted his brother once Yaci and Clair were gone.

[I think I ruined your image in front of her. I don't think she will like you. This time I admit that it was my fault. I am the one who ruined your chances of ending your single hood] ಥ_ಥ

Not long after he received the following message.

[Shut up.]

Adan shared a glance with Jace."She's interesting."Jace commented. Adan dropped back in his seat and nodded."What do you think?"

"Well, you already angered her...now you have to figure out how to undo it."Jace commented."Thank you that makes me feel so much better."Adan sarcastically responded.

…..

Yaci and Clair entered the car that had dropped them off before."Where to Ma'am?" The driver asked."Back to the hotel."Clair answered.

She rubbed her temple and sighed. " I don't have enough patience to deal with these people." She mumbled.
