Chapter 19 How Could He Explain This When He Returns?
The more she spoke up, the angrier she became. “I bought a cup of Starbucks coffee for Elena. She complained that it was too bitter, and she wanted something sweet. So, I went and got her a cup of cappuccino. Who would have guessed she’d find it too sweet? You know, Claire, there’s no coffee shop around here. I had to walk two blocks to get it, and she still criticized it. I was so annoyed that I feigned to kick the cup of the Starbucks coffee on the floor onto her pants.”
Claire gave a quick blink. “..

Julia would undoubtedly do something like this.
But if it had been her, she would have poured that cup of cappuccino directly over Elena’s head!
She had thought that she hadn’t had any unpleasant interactions with Elena, so why was Elena targeting her? She hadn’t expected it to be for this purpose!
At that moment, Victor returned with a few people behind him. Each person had a bag of coffee, but Victor only had one cup.
He smiled and addressed everyone, “Mr. Vanderbilt was concerned that you might feel too full after eating. So, he asked me to buy some coffee. One cup per person. Please enjoy the coffee.”
Elena-looked at the cup in Victor’s hand and walked over with a smile. “Mr. Vanderbilt is a gentleman. I thought my mouth felt a little greasy after
eating so much meat.”
As she spoke, she reached out to take the cup from Victor’s hand.
Victor strolled directly past her and towards Claire. He tilted his hand to
the side as if he hadn’t noticed her.
Elena was left frozen. Her hand hung in space, and she felt awkward.
Julia almost jumped in place as he approached and elbowed Claire. “Claire! Claire! Is he approaching you?”
Only Claire and Julia were in his path. Even a vast toe could tell Victor was on his way to Claire.
Júlia was about to burst with joy. But Claire remained sitting calmly and her face expressionless.
“Miss Donovan.” Victor respectfully stretched his hand toward Claire with the coffee in his hand. “This is Mocha Frappuccino with extra whipped cream for
you.”
“Claire!” Julia excitedly grabbed Claire’s hand and shook it. “It’s your
favorite Mocha Frappuccino with extra whipped cream. It has exactly your favorite flavor!”
Claire was fond of sweets, not only in food but also in drinks.
Julia disliked milk tea and coffee because they were so sweet.
But she hadn’t expected Mr. Vanderbilt to be aware of such a unique taste preference!
But she hadn’t expected Mr. Vanderbilt to be aware of such a unique taste preference!
Julia was about to pass out excitedly, but Claire brushed her hand away and took the coffee from Victor. “Thank you.”
Such a casually phrased line, given in such an uninterested tone, revealed little evidence of the pleased surprise one might expect.
Victor was taken aback a little. It was the first time Mr. Sean had purchased something for a woman, and it was a delicious coffee that a young girl would enjoy. Yet, Claire showed no sign of expression.

If it were any other woman, she would have been overjoyed!
He mentally gave Claire a thumbs up. He knew she deserved to be Mr. Sean’s -choice, unaffected by favor or dishonor.
“Miss Donovan, are you satisfied with today’s dinner?”

Claire took a sip of the coffee. The sweetness narrowed her eyes.
Mmm… it’s delicious!
She liked it!
However, even though she enjoyed it, her expression remained calm. “I haven’t
eaten.”
“What do you mean you haven’t eaten?” Victor was starting to get anxious. Mr. Sean had made the supper, especially for Claire. How could he explain this when he returned if she hadn’t eaten?
“Is it not to your taste?”
Claire took another sip of her coffee and looked at the nearby garbage can. “I ate plenty of snacks.”
“Ah. I
…
I should have informed you sooner.”
Victor tapped his head softly as he gazed at the pile of snack packs in the garbage can. “Miss Donovan, snacks are only supplementary food and should not be substituted for main meals. I’ll return tomorrow to bring you lunch and dinner. Please avoid snacking.”
Otherwise, Mr. Sean would be upset.
Meanwhile, the entire crew stared at Claire with their coffees in hand.
They didn’t know who Victor was but knew he worked for Mr. Vanderbilt.
Could they be mistaken?
Wasn’t Elena the one Mr. Vanderbilt favored and sought to please? Instead, it appeared that Claire was the one he was interested in.
Elena’s face became pale with rage. Yet, she sat gracefully, her stare keen and poisonous on Claire.
Her assistant deliberately asked in astonishment, “Elena, is that man pursuing Ms. Lawrence?”
That man?
Elena swiftly reined in her furious glance as everyone turned their heads her way Then, she softly shook her head with an air of innocence. “I honestly don’t know.””
The assistant snorted mockingly. “Hmph! It’s clear he is after Ms. Lawrence! Look at how he’s gushing over her like he can’t stop himself. He’s deeply in
love.”
Everyone turned to look again at Victor. The more they stared, the more they noticed that his conduct matched the assistant’s description.
The assistant director chuckled and said, “Hahaha, I think so! Men are only cautious when confronted with women they like.”
“Yeah, when it comes to the women they like, they want to hold them in the palm of their hands. So, his coffee for Ms. Lawrence is different from what we got. He’s attempting to please her on purpose,” someone added.
Elena, who had been filled with anger just moments ago, felt her anger instantly disappear upon hearing the crew’s interpretation.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Indeed, Claire’s fragile beauty made it impossible for her to win the affection of someone as powerful as Mr. Vanderbilt.
She sipped her coffee with a smug look. Then, she discovered that the bitterness was less evident, and a tinge of sweetness was present.
Hmph …
In any case, it was simply one of Mr. Vanderbilt’s underlings who dared to ignore her.
Elena would make sure that whenever she became Mrs. Vanderbilt, this man who embarrassed her was kicked out!
She rose gracefully and walked elegantly toward Victor as she saw him finish talking with Claire and then tell the staff to pack everything.
“Today, Mr. Vanderbilt treated us to so many delicious dishes. To express our gratitude, I’d like to extend an invitation on behalf of the crew to treat Mr. Vanderbilt to dinner.”
Now, Victor looked like he could make decisions for Mr. Vanderbilt!
He smiled in response. “Of course, I’ll forward your message to Mr. Vanderbilt. Whether he comes or not is entirely up to him. I have no say in the matter.”
Elena smiled and nodded. “Alright, thank you.”
Her smile faded as she turned away and shot a dismissive glance toward Victor.
