Chapter 88
Married at First Sight
Chapter 88 Elisa was the heiress of the Stones after all.
The Stones and Yorks might not get along, so the security guardsâ inhospitality toward Elisa could aggravate the hostility between both giants.
It was not a responsibility the security guards could shoulder.
Soon, a few speeding cars pulled up in front of York Corporation.
Getting out of the car, Clive took quick strides toward his sister who was yelling out all the love she had for Zachary through a megaphone.
The scowl on his handsome face did not go amiss.
There was no question that Zachary called Clive again to make a fuss about his sisterâs antics.
Clive happened to be in a meeting when he received the complaint.
Frustration could barely describe Cliveâs emotions right now.
Ditching his team of executives, Clive took his bodyguard and came all the way to dragElisa back.
âZacharyâ¦â Before Elisa could finish, the megaphone was snatched right out of her hands.
She looked over and met the stern eyes of her brother.
Dumbstruck, Elisa cowered and cried timidly, âClive.â Clive tossed the megaphone aside before grabbing Elisa by the wrist and dragged her along.
âClive , I like Zachary.I really do.I have had a crush on him for many years, and itâs taken me until now to confess.You need to let me do this.What if he falls in love with me too? Ouch, Clive.Youâre grabbing me too hard!â
Without a word, Clive hauled his sister to the car and pulled the door open to stuff her inside.
Elisa tried to get out from the other side of the vehicle.
âTake one more step.â Getting cold feet, Elisa lost the will to run and stayed put.
Clive got into the car, shut the door, and ordered emotionlessly, âDrive.â
The driver stepped on the gas.
âCliveââ Elisa snuggled up to her brother while holding his arm as she appealed to his soft spot.
âShut up!â
Clive chided.
âI have told you a hundred times that Zacharyâs not a good match for you.You should give up but you wonât listen to me, huh?â
âI wanted to get over him, but the years didnât help me to move on.I canât give up now.I love him.Am I wrong to show it? How would we know the outcome if you donât let me try and fight for it?â.
Loved by her family, Elisa came from a line of wealth and power that gave her the confidence to face life.
She would do what no one had the guts to do.
Regardless of her compatibility with Zachary, Elisa believed she should give it a go.
She was willing to accept failure for trying as giving up without a fight would always remains regret.
âItâs not like you donât know Zachary.You canât even get within three meters from him!â
âHe hasnât fallen for me yet.Iâm sure heâll make an exception for me once heâs smitten.â
Clive smirked as he stared at his sister who would stop at nothing until she had taken a crack at it.
He was furious, helpless, and sorry for his sister to have fallen head over heels forZachary.
âElisa, I know a lot of fine men.Listen to me.Get Zachary out of your head.Heâs not good for you.Heck, the manâs heart is made from iron.No woman can melt his cold heart.Even if someone can, that person wonât be you.
âDonât make yourself a laughingstock.Youâre not just embarrassing yourself, but me too.â
âWhat do you mean embarrassing? Iâm only being truthful with my feelings.You should be familiar with the tricks.Didnât your wife adopt the same method to score your heart? You only have eyes for her now.See, thereâs nothing embarrassing about a woman going after a man.â
Clive was left speechless.It sounded about right.
His dear wife had always been direct with her feelings.His wife pulled out all the stops when she pursued him.
