" You have no call on this . " said Edward annoyed .
" I guess it's not your call either . I will come to you when I need am in a difficult financial situation . " said Claire .
" You have no proof . With what are you so sure you can make any accusations to me . " said Edward with an arrogant smirk .
Claire laughed a little then took her phone out and showed Edward the video of him nearly crushing madam Collen with his car .
" You......Give me that ! " said Edward annoyed .
" No can do ! You can't even touch it . " said Claire .
" How did you get that ? " asked Edward .
" I have my ways too . Furthermore , there was a large audience staring at us . I can add witnesses too . " said Claire with a smirk .
" You crazy monkey , I will....... " said Edward but his phone and Claire's phone both started to ring .
" Hello ! " answered the two of them at the same time .
" What ? I will be there right now . " said the two of them confused then glared at each other .
" Stop copying me ! " said the two of them again .
" This is crazy ! Stop it already ! " said the two of them glaring at each other .
" I hope I never see you again . " said Edward .
" Same here mr . Just hope I do not run into financial problems . " said Claire and walked ahead , leaving Edward alone .
' Damn her ! Such an unlucky day ! I already have problems with my family , let alone having her near too . That bastard Nolan ! It's all his fault and now he asks me to even come to his rescue...............Haaaaahhh ! I will help him out first then punish him severely . ' thought Edward annoyed then headed out of the mall .
He opened the door to his car and entered then headed to the location Nolan sent him . At the same time , Claire rushed to her friend's location in a hurry . A few minutes later , Edward's car arrived . He came out of his car and entered the building while looking at his phone .
" Where the heck is this guy ? What is he doing in a place like this ? " said Edward looking around annoyed as he was searching for Nolan .
" Bro !!! " spoke a voice from behind .
When Edward turned his face towards the voice he saw that it was Nolan .
" What's the trouble ? " said Edward stopping Nolan from hugging him .
" Why are you being so cold bro ? You were fine this morning . " said Nolan not understanding why he was so annoyed .
" Everything was fine until the moment you called me . You made this morning the worst morning in my life . " said Edward with an annoyed expression .
Claire arrived at the meeting place and was able to see her friend standing in front of a machine that looked like a stage with huge boxes .
" Claire ! You are finally here . " said her friend and hugged her tightly .
" I only came because you said that the teacher got sick and it was declared a vacation day . " said Claire with a smile .
" You little nerd ! It's good to take a break from time to time . " said her friend smiling .
" Carol , you should know better than others the reason why I am a hardworking nerd . " said Claire poking her forehead .
" He he he ! I know ! I know ! I won't say it anymore . Now , my idol of fast learning , please help me . " said Carol .
" You said that it was an urgent situation . " said Claire looking at her doubtfully .
" It is ! The limited-edition is the one I have been searching for , for such a long time and is now given as the first prize to the one who wins this challenge . It's the puff collectibles . " said Carol ." Are you serious ? You took me here just because of this ? " said Claire with a confused expression .
" I am begging you Claire ! You can ask me for anything . I will make sure to do all the annoying homework for both of us . Just help me get the puff collectibles' limited edition . " said Carol hugging her with a cute expression .
A few meters away Edward and Nolan were coming in their direction . When Edward saw Claire's back he immediately recognized her .
" Why did you stop ? " asked Nolan when seeing Edward stop walking .
" I can't believe it . Is this a curse ?........Why does this girl appear everywhere I go today ? We just separated a while ago . " said Edward annoyed .
" Bro , is she your new girl ? " said Nolan when looking at Claire .
" What new girl ?! Are you cursing me ? " said Edward punching his arm .
" Ouc !!!! " said Nolan confused as he held his arm .
' I don't know why he is so angry . He did say that he encountered an accident . He looked very angry . ' thought Nolan with a confused expression .
" Emmm......Bro , what exactly happened this morning ? " asked Nolan .
" I wanna hit you badly . " said Edward making his punch ready to hit him but when he saw another girl approaching Claire and Carol arrive , he lowered his arms while Nolan continued to protect himself .
" Look who's here ! " said a voice coming from behind .
Claire and Carol turned their head around and saw that it was Chloe , the richest and meanest girl in their school . Claire and Chloe were always in competition with each other because of their good grades .
" Claire...... " said Carol looking at her with a nervous expression .
" Chloe , what a coincidence . " said Claire .
" A rather unfortunate one , that's for sure . " said Chloe .
" Haaah ! I couldn't agree more . " said Claire with a helpless smile .
" You should be grateful for having me in your school , especially for talking to a lame girl like you . " said Chloe .
" Yes , yes ! " said Claire .
" I should be grateful for losing my peace ? " whispered Claire to Carol who couldn't help but laugh a little .
" Pffftt ! " laughed Carol .
" To what do we owe your presence here ? " said Claire , not having the nerves necessary to argue with everyone .
Before she could answer , Chloe spotted Edward and Nolan standing a few meters away , behind Claire and Carol .
" Edward ? " said Chloe with her eyes shining and little hearts surrounding her .
" Bro ! One of your top ten fans is here . " said Nolan .
Edward glared at Nolan . He didn't want to go near them but now that he was spotted he couldn't leave either . He knew Chloe very well and knew that she wouldn't stop flirting with him . He also knew how arrogant she was and it surprised home when she talked to Claire so he decided to go near them .
Claire was shocked when she saw him standing in front of her . The shock on her face was noticed by the others who looked at her with a chuckle .
" Hah ! My idol's beauty has opened a new wide world for you . I bet you can't even stand on your shoes right now . " said Chole grabbing Edward from his arm .
" He has but in a totally different perspective from the one you are thinking . " said Claire looking at him annoyed .
" Who is this baby ? Your friend ? " said Edward ignoring Claire .
" She is just a poor nerd girl we have at school . She is so old fashioned . Gosh ! I soo love it when you call me baby ! " said Chloe smiling with her eyes totally enamored with Edward .
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 ? "
" It seems like it will take some time before they get down . " said Melani looking at the train . " Mom , I would like to take a look at that store over there . It had some interesting stuff . I will be back soon . " said Claire . " .....Alright but don't be late . " said Melani . " No , I won't . " said Claire with a smile . " Okay ! " said Claire and walked ahead . " I am quite thirsty so I will go to buy something to drink . " said Edward with a polite smile then walked ahead too . Melani looked at her daughter and noticed that Edward was walking in the same direction as Claire but he was a bit away from her . ' ......Hmmmm....... ' thought Melani . " Cough.....cough....... " coughed Alonzo when he saw her staring at them but she still continued to stare at them . " Cough.........Cough........ " coughed Alonzo again . " Are you sick ? Why are you coughing so much ? " asked Melani . " I had a
" Train ticket ?......Wiat ! I need that train ticket . " said Edward ." Huh ?........You needed that train ticket ?.........I am very sorry . That girl took the last ticket of this time's ride . I can give you the same ticket for the next ride if you want . " said the worker ." When will the next ride start ? " asked Edward ." It will start after forty minutes . The train ride is the longest ride we have in the amusement park . " said the worker ." .....I got it . " said Edward then looked back at the girl who took the ticket and was going to the worker at the train ride .' I have no intention of waiting for another forty minutes just because of a simple train ride . I will just buy the ticket from her . ' thought Edward and hurried to catch up with her .Edward grabbed her by her shoulder then stopped her ." Miss , you pushed me and I couldn't get the ticket . Give me the ticket now . " said Edward .Claire looked at th
" Daddy................my dress got dirty . " said the little girl on the ground starting to cry ." Hey ! How dare you push my daughter ? " said a man grabbing Rei's little arm annoyed .Rei was scared at his sight and started to push him as he yelled . Claire and Melani rushed to his side immediately . Melani held Rei as Claire grabbed his arm and glared at him ." What do you think you are doing ? You are an adult yet you grab the arm of a child in such a rough way . Is that the way an adult should behave with children ? " said Claire with an angry tone as she glared at him forcibly .' ...…This girl...she is strong . So short yet strong.... ' thought the man with a perplexed expression .He looked behind her and saw Melani trying to ease her son . She raised her head and looked at him annoyed ." Who do you think you are to scare my son like that ? Don't you have any brain ? " said Melani ." Don't I have any brain ?!.....You
