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 If only they could get the biggest shipping company in the country to upgrade their outdated system.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:

‘So let me ask you this, Mr. Kingston. Do you have a wife?’ Clara decided the direct approach was the way to approach Rowan since he was being brazen about his intentions.

‘No, and no girlfriend either, I would like to date you if that is possible,’ he was getting straight to the point as well, forgetting that Max was with them. He was eating his meal calmly like he was having a normal conversation, and he was not trying to piss off Clara.

‘That’s flattering, but I have a boyfriend already, Mr. Kingston. I hope that doesn’t prevent you from considering our business.’ she had been waiting for this chance to let him know she had a boyfriend all day. And she was glad that she could finally get it out.

‘I know. You’re with Sebastian Colfer from the Navio shipping company, right? But you’re not married yet, and I think I can sway you to choose me instead of him,’ he said. Max’s eyes grew enormous, and he silently said, ‘Whoa!’
