"Clara Young!" Francis exclaimed, stunned. "Are you going to ask her to be your acquaintance?"
"She is a rising star, gorgeous, and smart," Declan said leisurely. "With her by my side, I will easily become the center of attraction."
He smiled meaningfully as he muttered in his head, 'Especially you, sweetheart. You cannot see me with another woman.'
When Francis noticed that smile, he felt a knot in his stomach. He furrowed his brows, wondering what Declan was up to. He reasoned that his boss had a good reason for doing this, but he felt sorry for Derrek.
After dating countless women, Derrek finally decided to settle down with Clara. But his brother had set his eyes on her.
Francis was concerned that it might cause tensions to rise again between the two brothers. He didn't say a word, though, and just walked out quietly.
