Lihat lebih banyakThe sun started to shine and morning came . Claire was still sleeping comfortably in her bed . She had a lot of trouble waking up early in the morning . Every time, her mother Melani , would go into her room and open the curtains then spray some water on her eyes to help her get up . She did the same thing this morning too . She opened the curtains then looked at Claire who was still sleeping .
" Will you wake up or do you want me to wake you up in my way ?! " said Melani with a serious tone when she saw her daughter covering her eyes with her left hand .
" Whatever ! It's just water... " said Claire in a lazy way and turned over at the other side of the bed .
" Today is a little different . I just bought some juice that seventy percent sale . I bought it just for you , in case you refuse to wake up in a nice way . " said Melani with a threatening smile .
' If I don't get up , the queen will get mad ! Haaaa....yesterday's training was bone wrecking ! ' thought Claire and got up from the bed .
" My queen ! Please have mercy on your subject who has had a rough day yesterday with all that training . This subject will always remember your kindness ! " said Claire with an obedient expression .
" Fine ! I have to go with your brother and open the shop . I left your breakfast in the table . Eat it before you leave for training . " said Melani and went towards the door .
" My queen , thank you ! You are the sweetest ! I love you ! " said Claire and got up from the bed then hugged her mother .
" Alright ! Alright ! Get ready now or you'll be late ! I am going now , bye ! " said Melani with a smile then looked at her with a smile .Claire went right to the bathroom without wasting any minute .' They usually say that you can win the heart of the man you love through his stomach . In my daughter's case , the boy that will decide to go after her , has to be a good cook . Haaa....How can she be such a food lover ?! I don't get it ! ' thought Melani with a helpless smile then went out of Claire's room and headed to the flower shop with her son , Claire's brother , Rei .Claire finished washing up soon and got her clothes out of the drawer and wore them . She wore a large-sized t-shirt and black trousers then a pair of grey trainers and a grey jacket .
" As always , I look super cool ! " said Claire with a cool smile while looking at herself in the mirror .
When she opened the door , she smelled her mom's cupcakes right away and went to the kitchen . Her mom had prepared four cupcakes for her and a glass of warm milk .
' I really love my queen ! ' thought Claire while eating .
When she looked at the time she noticed that she was late and started to eat in a hurry . After finishing her breakfast in one breath , Claire went to the door , took her bag then locked the door and went out of the house .
" Aghhh ! If I am late again , the coach is gonna give me double training as punishment . I need to hurry . " said Claire with a worried expression when she saw the time on her phone .While rushing in the street to go towards her training site , Claire noticed a woman who was talking on her phone in a messy way .
' What's wrong with her ?!...She looks so stressed . Looking at her outfit she must be very rich . It seems like rich people have it tough too , not only us poor ones . I wonder what's her problem . ' thought Claire with a confused expression when seeing the rich woman walk in a messy was with her annoyed temper .
Claire had to cross at the other side of the road then noticed that the crazy-looking woman was right in front of her .
' Good ! All the crazy ones are directed towards me ! I wonder whether I have an invisible magnet that attracts troublesome people towards me . ' thought Claire and remembered her past times when she bumped into troublesome people , she always ended up helping them clear their mess .While the people were walking , pass the road . The rich woman was still on her phone speaking .
' Luckily I passed her without any problems . ' thought Claire when she stepped on the other side of the sidewalk .
" Oh no ! The light is about to turn green ! I need to hurry ! Jack , I will call you back . Keep the people on check I will be there immediately ! " said the rich woman then closed her phone and tried to pass the road .
When she passed the light already became red . Claire noticed that a car with great speed was about to bump right at that rich woman .
' What the.....?! That car will crash her ! She can't make it until she arrives at the other side of the sidewalk . ' thought Claire and looked at her then looked at the car that was coming towards her .
" Move ! " said Claire with a loud tone but she was speaking with headphones on and she couldn't listen a thing .
' She cannot hear me ! I need to hurry ! If I don't help her she will be smashed by that car . ' thought Claire with a serious expression and took her bag off .
" Can you please hold this for a second ?! Thank you ! " said Claire to a girl that was standing next to her .
The girl remained surprised to see Claire's bag in her hands .
" Move away madam ! " said Claire with a loud tone and rushed towards her .
When Claire started to run through the white cross road , the people noticed that the car was as coming towards their direction in a fast way .
Some people took their phone out while some other people looked at the scene with anxiety .
" Madam , watch out ! " said Claire with a serious tone .When the rich woman turned her head towards the car , she remained shocked and paralyzed to the point that she couldn't even move her feet . Her hands and legs were shaking while her face went pale in a second .
Before the car could crash her , Claire pulled the rich woman herself and with a swift move , lifted her in the air then placed her on the ground safely . Everyone remained surprised by her swift moves .
" You....you...saved me ?! You saved me ! Thank you ! " said the rich woman with a relieved smile although she was still in a shock state .
" You are welcome ! " said Claire with a smile .
In that moment , the car behind which was driving with a high speed stopped . When the car stopped in a rush at a pound with dirty water . The dirty water ended up on being splashed at Claire's back and especially her trousers under her butt ." Aghhh !!!! What the ?! Who ?! " said Claire with an unpleasant tone while looking at herself covered in dirty water .
The stunning Lamborghini car which was about to smash the rich woman , stopped and opened the door . From the car , a handsome young man came out . He was wearing a black jacket with a blue shirt and black trousers with white trainers .

Claire left and closed the door . Erik and Emma looked at Edward with an annoyed expression ." Edward.......is this necessary ? " asked Emma .Edward looked at her and ignored her then started to look at the files on his desk ." Edward , are you serious ? I really hope that you aren't.........Seriously , how can you threaten a good girl like her in such a way ?.......I don't know Claire's family condition but when I heard you say the medical treatment for her brother that confused me . No matter how cold you are , you can't behave like this . You can't threaten her with her brother's medical condition . " said Erik annoyed .Emma was surprised to see Erik so protective of Claire . Erik was never the type to care about girls in general . The only girls he talked to were his relatives , Emma, and a few close friends to him ." Since when have you become so supportive of her ? You have only met her two times . " said Edward staring at him in an inte
" You are the one who came here . I didn't ask you to come nor did I take you forcibly . I told you to not mess with me but you keep coming to me . Since you can't stay away from me you may as well stay within my sight......I hate it when others try to approach me in a shady way . " said Edward with a serious expression ." What ?.....What are you saying ? How can you even think that I am purposely following you ? How could I possibly come after you ? " said Claire looking at him shocked ." .....I have seen a lot of women trying to approach me . They will try every method just to get close to me . You too ! Stop playing the hard catch . " said Edward ." How can you say that ?........I will not waste my breath with you . I have no reason to be near you . The school decided that I would come here to your company . It wasn't my free will . I struggle hard to give my family a good life and to try to become someone for both of them but you.....How dare you th
Claire looked at Edward and noticed that he was very serious about what he was said . She let go of him and stepped back ." Your........special lawyer ? " said Claire confused ." .....I want you to be my special lawyer . You will not only deal with the cases of me being thrown in court but you will also be in charge of my protection . This is all that will be required from you . Since you will be working as my bodyguard you will also be my assistant . " said Edward with a smirk ." ....Instead of two jobs now I have to do three ? " said Claire with a forced smile thinking that he was joking ." I will not ask you to do any other job apart from dealing with documents related to law cases and protecting me ." You must be kidding me.....Seriously ?...... " said Claire touching her forehead in a troubled way ." I am dead serious . I was serious when I said that you are annoying but now I am even more serious . " said Edward .Claire t
" I think I misheard but.......Did you just call me old ? " said Edward with a frozen smirk ." Even your hearing isn't working well . Those are clear signs of old age . How about you go and see a doctor ? " said Claire with an innocent smile ." You have already used half of my patience crazy monkey girl . " said Edward annoyed ." .....Only half more and I will be saved from you , old man . I am doing quite well . He he he ! " said Claire with a happy tone then noticed a strange ominous aura coming from Edward ." I can't believe such a girl actually exists . The more I hear the way she talks with him , the more afraid I become of her . " whispered Erik with a terrified expression ." I totally agree with you . I am feeling my blood pressure low because of them . " whispered Ema .Edward bit his lip as he grinned . He didn't expect that she could escape from his charms but once again he was proven that he could not predict anything when it
Claire to the taxi and soon she found herself at Edward's company . When she got out of the taxi , she stared at the company then a voice from behind called her ." Claire ! " said the voice again .When Claire turned her head , she saw it was Erik ." Good morning ! " said Erik with a smile ." Morning ! " said Claire with a forced smile ." You don't look happy . " said Erik ." I am super pissed Erik . " said Claire annoyed ." Who and why ? " asked Erik ." I don't think the person who annoyed me needs an introduction . He is already very famous . " said Claire with an ironic tone ." I guess I know who this famous person is . " said Erik .Claire and Erik entered the elevator and waited to arrive at the floor where the annoying president was ." If it can make you feel better , I have got an additional coffee latte can with me . Do you want it ? " said Erik handing her the coffee latte can .She
When Claire went to her home at night they all smiled happily ." Overall , we did have a good day . " said Melani as she unbuttoned Rei's jacket ." Yeah , we sure did..... " said Claire with a forced smile .' That jerk totally ruined our day of fun . Why did we have to bump into him ?.......Not only that but we also met another weirdo....... ' thought Claire with an annoyed expression as she remembered the faces of Edward and Alonzo ." Didn't you enjoy today's outing Claire ? " asked Melani when she saw her expression ." I enjoyed it mom . I just was thinking that I could enjoy it better we didn't bump into those two people . " said Claire ." You mean mr Alonzo and Edward ?...Mr Alonzo was annoying at first but he did apologize for his mistake . He clearly didn't know about Rei's condition . " said Melani ." Whatever ! I just don't like that guy . He looks weird . " said Claire ." Weird ?.......In which weird sense ? "
