Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 231 - 231. Trending Topic

"Is there a present for me?" Dave asked again in all his innocence and that made Aaron laugh even more.

"Of course. What do you want? Tell me," Aaron replied.

"I want a new toy, Granpa. May I?"

"Okay, anything for you, honey," said Aaron as he finished his meal, along with Claire.

After that Aaron seemed to send a message to someone.

"What's your next plan Claire?" asked the man as he placed his cell phone on the table.

"Nothing, Uncle. I just want to live in peace here," the woman replied.

"Aren't you interested in learning about the company?" Aaron asked.

Hearing that, Claire was silent for a moment. "Company? But, I don't know anything about it. I'm afraid, maybe I'll just destroy everything," she said with a sigh.

After all, until now everything that happened to her still felt like a dream, never before had she expected that her life would change three hundred and sixty degrees. From a single parent who is full of many shortcomings to be an heir to the wealth of a prominent family in Australia.

"Don't worry. I won't let you take the CEO position of S.S Group right away, take it easy. As long as you have the desire to learn, then that's enough."

"As long as you're studying, I'll still be in that position until you're ready. How about it?" he asked again.

"But…"

"This is what your Mom and Dad wanted, Claire. Don't worry, I will stay by your side no matter what happens," said Aaron immediately cutting his nephew's words.

Hearing that, Claire fell silent again. "Hmm, okay, Uncle," she finally agreed. Maybe this way, her attention will be distracted and make her forget the man.

"So when can I start?" she asked again.

"Take it easy. For this month, you should get plenty of rest. I know you need some time to cool off."

"I will ask Erik to arrange vacation tickets to various countries. Just tell me, where are you going?" Aaron asked. Erik is Aaron's assistant.

"I don't want to go anywhere, Uncle," Claire answered that very second.

"Hm, fine if that's what you want. Just tell me if you need something, I'll fulfill everything," replied Aaron.

"Thank you, Uncle," Anna said and the man only nodded in response.

Simultaneously, a man with a tall, upright posture walked over to them. He is Erik.

"What is it?" Aaron asked ahead. Right now, they were still inside the dining room.

"There is a big problem, sir."

Aaron's brow furrowed, the same thing happened to Claire. The woman looked questioningly at her Uncle's assistant.

"Tell me," Aaron pleaded.

Hearing that, for a moment Erik glanced at Claire briefly, maybe only for a few seconds.

"This concerns Miss Claire," said Erik.

"Me? What's wrong?" asked the woman at that very moment, she was very afraid if her presence in this family would only have a bad impact on the Smith family.

"What's wrong with my nephew? Does someone want to make trouble with her?" Aaron guessed.

Erik seemed to be contemplating, should he say it now in front of the two of them? The man looked a little dubious.

"I want to hear it too," said Claire as if she understood what the man was feeling.

Hearing that, Erik cleared his throat softly then opened the tab he was carrying, and showed Aaron something.

"Have they gone mad? My nephews have just returned, and they already want it?" cursed Aaron in a mumble.

"You didn't post her picture did you?" he asked again.

"No sir. In the announcement, I only mention Miss's name. Not the slightest display of photos," replied Erik.

Aaron took a deep breath, massaging his painless forehead making Claire who saw her Uncle's response raise an eyebrow in confusion.

"Even though it's only been a few hours, and it's already this much?" Again, Aaron sighed harshly.

"This is also beyond my expectations, sir," replied Erik.

"What is going on?" asked the impatient Anna.

"It's not important, Claire. Don't think about it, go back to your room and rest, your body must still be very tired," replied Aaron while returning Erik's tab.

Unknowingly, Claire put on a sullen face.

"Okay, give it to her, Erik. Show her everything."

"Okay sir," Erik replied then walked closer to Claire's chair.

Those were several emails that came in, and all of them were from the high class. They gave word that they would be visiting the Smith family's residence to propose to the Smith's only daughter. Not just one or two people, but there are about a hundred more, and the incoming emails don't stop there. New emails with almost the same message content kept coming non-stop.

Claire only glanced at it and understood. The woman took a deep breath. It was clear that all the men wanted her not, but rather the possessions of the Smith family. Both Erik and Aaron also had the same thought.

The fact circulating on the internet about the return of Claire Smith, who is the only daughter of the couple Jason Smith and Jennie Smith as well as the heir, has shocked the virtual world, even it has quickly become a trending topic in almost all countries.

And because of the news, many of them have new desires and hopes to become the companions of the Smith family. Yes, who doesn't want to be the husband of the eldest daughter who has very abundant wealth? They don't even care what the woman looks like.

Gradually, Aaron watched his nephew's expression, he waited for his response but to no avail. Even after the tab returned to Erik's grasp, no expression was shown on the woman's face.

"How are we going to deal with this, sir, miss?" asked Erik at last.

"Refuse their arrival," answered Claire immediately. For the second time, he didn't want to be loved just for money. It was enough for Brian to use it at that time, not a second time.

She was quite deterred in terms of love.

"But Miss. It won't be easy considering there are so many elites who send emails, I'm afraid they will feel insulted if they refuse their arrival," Erik replied without reducing his politeness.

"Do what she wants, Erik. Reply to their email and say that Miss Claire can't meet anyone indefinitely," Aaron chimed in.

"The Smith family have been well known for their generosity and friendly demeanor, and it's okay to turn them down once in a while," he added.

Claire who heard that was silent, her brow furrowed faintly. She knew a little about the Smith family, suddenly she felt guilty about what she had just said.. She is afraid that the rejection will have a bad impact on the family's image that has been built for a long time.
