Chapter 446
He Actually Gave Her a Surprise
That night, after dinner, they returned to the bedroom.
Claire Bennett waited eagerly for Julian Sterling to finish his shower. She wanted to ask him whether he knew anyone even more formidable than Master Ziyun.
Julian Sterling came out of the bathroom still damp all over. Lately, Old Mr. Sterling's relationship with him had eased quite a bit, and now he had also given him a lot of important work, so Julian Sterling had been fairly busy recently and basically had very little time to spend with Claire Bennett.
Today already counted as getting off work and coming home fairly early.
After coming out, Julian Sterling saw Claire Bennett sitting on the bed, looking at him eagerly.
Julian Sterling walked over and sat down, asking, "What's wrong? Do you have something to say to me? Or are you waiting for me so we can do married-couple things?"
After saying that, he tried to pin Claire Bennett onto the bed.
Claire Bennett coughed lightly and quickly pushed him away. "Stop messing around. I have something serious to talk to you about. This Saturday I'm going back to the New York Bennett family. It's my grandfather's birthday."
Julian Sterling's brows furrowed slightly, thinking Claire Bennett wanted him to go with her. "I have an important meeting this Saturday."
Claire Bennett immediately said, "You misunderstood. I don't mean I want you to go with me. It's about my grandfather's birthday gift..."
Next, Claire Bennett told Julian Sterling everything about Laura Bennett coming to see her today.
After finishing, she sighed in distress. "Sigh... Actually, I don't even know who I should ask to be able to outshine that so-called Master Ziyun. That Master Ziyun's status is just too high."
She reached out and wrapped her arms around Julian Sterling's arm, smiling as she said, "You should know some important people, right? Can you help me?"
Claire Bennett remembered that whenever something had happened to her before, Julian Sterling had always told her not to worry and said he had a way to solve it. Back then, she had always scoffed at him, thinking that as a driver, what methods could he possibly have.
Who would have thought that Julian Sterling was actually the dignified president of Sterling International? Of course he had plenty of ways to solve things.
Julian Sterling curled his lips into a smile and said helplessly, "This tiny little matter had you troubled all day?"
Hearing Julian Sterling's words, Claire Bennett was speechless.
What did he mean, a tiny little matter?!
"Do you know that Master Ziyun? He's very impressive!" Claire Bennett was afraid Julian Sterling didn't know, so she deliberately emphasized it.
"Mm, I know." Julian Sterling smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'll prepare the gift for you. When the time comes, you can just go to the birthday banquet without any worries."
Claire Bennett's eyes lit up, and she excitedly leaned over and kissed him once. "You're too good!"
She knew it—if she came to Julian Sterling, he would definitely have a way. And just like that, hadn't the problem been easily solved? If she had known Julian Sterling's back door was this easy to use, why would she have spent a whole day worrying?
Julian Sterling smiled, reaching out to protect her waist as he enjoyed Claire Bennett's initiative in kissing him. His eyes darkened, and he reached out to pull Claire Bennett over, pressing her beneath him in one motion. "Just one kiss—isn't that a little too simple?"
"Then what do you want?" Claire Bennett knew exactly what he wanted to do, but she still played dumb.
"You'll know in a moment."
After saying that, Julian Sterling lowered his head.
In the bedroom, an intimate atmosphere instantly filled the entire room.
In the end, Claire Bennett was thoroughly devoured by the man, and she couldn't even resist. She even had to cooperate and please him. After all, she needed a favor from Julian Sterling now. When you need something from someone, you can only let him take whatever he wants from you.
...
In the blink of an eye, it was the day before Old Mr. Bennett's birthday.
The servant packed Claire Bennett's things for her. She was preparing to fly to New York a day early so that she could make it to the old man's birthday banquet on time the next day.
"Ma'am, your and Mr. Sterling's luggage has already been packed."
Hearing the servant's words, surprise showed in Claire Bennett's eyes. "Wait, weren't you only packing my things? Why did you pack Julian Sterling's too?"
The servant looked completely innocent. "Mr. Sterling instructed me to."
Seeing her clueless expression, Claire Bennett remembered that Julian Sterling was off today. When she had told Julian Sterling this morning that she was leaving, he had looked totally unconcerned, which had even made her feel a little disappointed, as though Julian Sterling had been neglecting her.
She hadn't expected that he would actually give her a surprise. He was simply too much!
Claire Bennett couldn't hold back any longer and immediately turned around and headed back to the room.
