Clara's Mystery - Orphan Trilogy

How can you fall in love when you don't even know who you are? At the age of ten, she was left at the orphanage without any recollection of who she was and where she came from. Twenty years later, Clara Johnson, now the CEO of her own security company, SST, provides top-of-the-line security systems and technology that stamps out the competition. If only they could get the biggest shipping company in the country to upgrade their outdated system. But it seems that the CEO, Sebastian Colfer, will do everything to thwart their efforts. Or so it seems. Behind his icy demeanor, he has a hidden agenda, to woo the spirited CEO of SST. The mystery surrounding her appearance at the orphanage keeps her busy these days, and having somebody in her life is not part of her plan. So she pushes everyone away, but will it always stay that way? ==-=-== This book is purely fictional. Any similarities with people in real life are purely coincidental. ==-=-== Sitting in the back seat of Sebastian's car, Clara could feel the heat emanating from his body. His legs were spread out a little too wide, and they were rubbing against her outer thigh. She tried not to let it affect her, but his arm seemed to graze hers every time the car moved, and that unnerved her a little. They were sitting a little too close if you asked her. Clara tried to get away from him, as far as the space could allow, but her brother didn't want to cooperate. He kept on scolding her to stop squirming. She was trying to find a comfortable position that would keep their body parts from touching, what was wrong with that? Sebastian was tormenting her, and she's had enough. She elbowed her brother and told him to switch places with her. ‘Are you scared to sit close to me?’ Sebastian whispered in her ear. -=- Facebook: Intagram:

Bouncing Around

After lunch, Sebastian decided to give Clara a break from all his torment and teasing. Lunch did not turn out well after he teased her because she kept ignoring him the whole time, even though he was sitting beside her.

He tried to place her favorite sushi pieces on her plate, as he did before, and she kept returning them to the serving dishes. He was back to square one.

So after lunch, he asked Eli to direct him to a room, so he could use it to torment the people at work since Clara did not want to pay attention to him, anyway. It was now 5 pm, and the offices around him were abuzz with people leaving to head out. It was Friday, so some of them were making plans to get together.

He wanted to have dinner with her, and after she got embarrassed, that would probably be out of the question.

Sebastian caught up with Max to convince them to go out for dinner.
