Elisa was the heiress of the Stones after all.
The Stones and Yorks might not get along, so the security guards’ inhospitality toward Elisa could aggravate the hostility between both giants. It was not a responsibility the security guards could shoulder.
Soon, a few speeding cars pulled up in front of York Corporation.
Getting out of the car, Clive took quick strides toward his sister who was yelling out all the love she had for Zachary through a megaphone.
The scowl on his handsome face did not go amiss.
There was no question that Zachary called Clive again to make a fuss about his sister’s antics.
Clive happened to be in a meeting when he received the complaint. Frustration could barely describe Clive’s emotions right now.
Ditching his team of executives, Clive took his bodyguard and came all the way to drag Elisa back.
“Zachary…”
Before Elisa could finish, the megaphone was snatched right out of her hands. She looked over and met the stern eyes of her brother. Dumbstruck, Elisa cowered and cried timidly, “Clive.”
Clive tossed the megaphone aside before grabbing Elisa by the wrist and dragged her along.
“Clive, I like Zachary. I really do. I have had a crush on him for many years, and it’s taken me until now to confess. You need to let me do this. What if he falls in love with me too? Ouch, Clive. You’re grabbing me too hard!”
Without a word, Clive hauled his sister to the car and pulled the door open to stuff her inside.
Elisa tried to get out from the other side of the vehicle.
“Take one more step.”
Getting cold feet, Elisa lost the will to run and stayed put.
Clive got into the car, shut the door, and ordered emotionlessly, “Drive.”
