After asking and arguing on few more things they all went out from the room.
Claire
It was weird why we can't see the persons sitting their? 🧐
Claire
Do they have to make them this mysterious? 🤔

Assistant Ben tried to interfere but Xavier stopped him
Xavier
Seriously! Are you lecturing me right now? 😒
Claire
Ohh its a piece of advice but now I think you really need a teacher who'll teach you some manners. 😾
Xavier
(She is annoying) 🙎🏻♂
Xavier
I think you need to learn some manners.
Claire
Instead of apologizing you are arguing..
clearly it was her fault. She was the one who bumped into him but now how can she accept her defeat because she is the one who went a little overboard.
Xavier
Am I? (With a smirk😏)
Claire
Aishh! You freak..😫
With just that she went away stomping her foot like a child
Xavier

Claire went into the kitchen
Cindy

Claire

Claire
What? Didn't you just want to celebrate?
Cindy
What I mean is let's go to the club and celebrate. You fool🤦🏻♀..
Claire
Noooo. We are not going to any club and that's final.
Cindy
I'm not listening... Blah blah blah blah....
Cindy
I'm going to get change
Cindy
And you silly head. Go and get change
Cindy
We are going and that's final.
Claire
Ahhh... You are always like this...😣😣 (Whining like a baby)
Both went into their room to get ready.
Cindy was the first one who got ready. She was wearing a red dress looking all hot and sexy😍..
Cindy
Claire are you ready or not? (Shouted)
Cindy
Are you out of mind? We are going to the club not on a casual outing. 😲😓
Both went into Claire's room and Cindy selected a dress for her.
Claire
Noo it's too short...
Cindy
Unbelievable Claire! Just go and get changed. Now!😒
After changing into another dress.
Claire
You are too much Cindy.😅
Both laughed and went to the club.
Cindy
Hey! It's lively here😃..
Cindy
Let's go and order something.
Claire
No Cindy we are not doing shots.. Ok 😥
Cindy
Ohh come on.. You are not a teenager anymore.
After having two shots Cindy went to dance floor but Claire refused to go because she is feeling a little dizzy. She has a low alcohol tolerance.
Claire
I think I have to freshen up myself, feeling a bit dizzy.😩
She went to the washroom.
At the same time on the other side of the club
Xavier
Why are we here Liam?
Liam
Of course to enjoy the evening dude. Don't be silly. (Chuckled and winked at him)😆😉
Xavier
Whatever, you are wasting my time you know.
Liam
Nope. I don't know😂...
Liam and Xavier are best friends since childhood because their fathers also shared the same bond with each other. They were also best friends.
Liam
Hey dude! We are leaving in just five minutes ok. Just wait I'll be back in a minute.
They were their to meet one of Liam's subordinate who's working in the same club, to get some information.
Suddenly a small and petite figure caught Xavier's attention. Claire was going to the washroom looking all hot and alluring but at the same time innocent as well.
Xavier
What is she doing here?
He was about to get up and went behind her but Liam came. Xavier told him to wait for him and left
Liam
What? Is he taking his revenge on me? God this man!😓😓
Claire came out from the rest room and bumped into some real jerks. They were four and she was alone. She got scared.
Claire
Ohh Sorry! (try to leave)
Jerk 1
It's okay but where are you going beautiful. We are not done yet. (Licks his lips. His eyes were full of lust)
Claire
Disgusting! I have to leave asap! ( inner voice)
Jerk 1
**He took a step forward and tried to touch her but before that someone grabbed his hand. He tried to free his hand but Xavier tightens his grip on it.**
Jerk 1
Who the hell are you?😡
Xavier
Your death😏. ( with a smirk punched him hard on his face)
Jerk 1
**Fell on the ground and wincing in pain**
Other three jerks attacked Xavier at the same time. Seeing this Claire got more scared and screamed.
Xavier
**He swiftly blocked their moves and beat them up.**
The four jerks now laying on the ground waiting for their death.
Xavier's guards came at the right time.
Xavier
Take good care of them. I don't wanna see them ever.
His words were simple for everyone but there's a hidden meaning which his guards can understand well.
He removed his coat and put it on Claire.
Xavier
**Glared her and she followed him obediently without a word**
He took her outside the club near the parking lot.
Xavier
What were you doing there alone? (Displeased to see her there)
Claire
I-I came here with my friend.
Mention of her friend pissed him off more
Xavier
He left you alone. Don't you have any idea what could have happend if I didn't reach there at time?
He is slightly angry at the thought that someone is courting her or she might have a boyfriend. Ben is lacking in his work.
Meanwhile Ben got some chills through his spine.
Ben
Why do I feel chills? Have I done something wrong?🤔
