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 If only they could get the biggest shipping company in the country to upgrade their outdated system.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

Movie and Lunch

Clara and Sebastian both came out of the room like nothing had happened. Clara headed for the washer, leaving Sebastian to her brother. She started the load, so they could use their clean clothes later, but in reality, she was just trying to evade their attention. She needed time for herself. To think about what she would do with this relationship, Sebastian seems intent on having with her. But she doesn’t do relationships. She would rather deal with computers and microchips than people.

She was still asking herself if she heard him right. ‘Did he just say he loved me? Or did I mishear that? Ugh! So complicated!’

‘That was a first, though. None of the guys I dated before even mentioned that word before. Well, maybe there was that one guy that wanted to get into my pants.’

‘But he’s not Sebastian, so it probably means different. Aggghh...,’ she thought, feeling excited, elated, giddy? Maybe there was something else here that was worth pursuing.
