the phone to answer.
     
    "Yes,
Jessica?"
     
    "Ms. Russell,
there is a Mr. Sebastian Beck here. He claims to be Mr. Beck's brother, ” Jessica said. Claire heard a
male voice in the background say, "I don't claim to be, I am dammit!"
     
    Claire stifled a laugh
then answered, "I'll be right there Jessica."
     
    She hung up with
Jessica then headed out of her office towards the reception area. There was no
doubt that the tall, blonde, snarling man standing in front of the reception
desk was Henry's brother. Claire hadn't even known he had a brother. And that
thought hurt for some reason.
     
    "Mr. Beck, I'm
Claire Russell, Mr. Beck's personal assistant, ” Claire said in her professional voice and held out her hand.
     
    Sebastian took it and
gave a firm shake while he eyeballed her.
     
    "So you're
Claire, huh? ” Sebastian
said, smirking mischievously. "Henry's told me about you."
     
    Claire couldn't hide
her shock. Sebastian chuckled.
     
    "Listen,
sweetheart, is he in? I gotta talk to him for a minute, ” Sebastian said, smile fading fast.
     
    "Does he know
you're coming? ” Claire
asked, as she turned and led the way into the office.
     
    "No, I don't make
fucking appointments to see my own damn brother, pompous prick, ” Sebastian grumbled behind her.
     
    Claire again had to
stifle a laugh. The gorgeous man had an attitude; she kinda liked it. She bet
if Henry weren't so professional, he'd be exactly the same way. Claire stopped
in front of Henry's closed door. She prayed that he wasn't on the phone. Claire
knocked then popped her head in.
     
    Henry was sitting at
his desk, chewing on the end of a pen while he read over a contract. He was in
a black suit today with a dark green shirt that made his eyes pop. He looked so
handsome.
     
    "Yes Claire? ” He asked without looking up.
His voice bored and a bit tired.
     
    "Henry... ” She started but then got
jostled out of the way when Sebastian barged in.
     
    "'Scuse me baby
doll, ” he muttered as he
pushed by her.
     
    Henry's head shot up
as he dropped his pen onto the desk. "Sebastian! What the hell are you
doing here? ” Henry asked,
obviously shocked to see his brother.
     
    "Good to see you
too big brother, ” Sebastian
drawled as he walked into the room.
     
    Claire stood flattened
against the door.
     
    "You can't
just...I thought you were in California? ” Henry asked, confused and flustered.
     
    "I was, and man
you weren't kidding when you said doll face over there has got an amazing ass, ” Sebastian said, turning to wink
at Claire.
     
    Claire's eyes widened
and her jaw dropped. She looked at Henry who looked about ready to explode. His
face was turning red, his jaw was clenched, and his nostrils were flaring with
the force of his breathes. He thought she had an amazing ass? Henry turned his
blazing emerald green eyes to her.
     
    "Close the door
Claire, ” he bit out.
     
    Holy shit! She'd never
seen him so livid. Yeah, he'd gotten mad a couple times, but nothing like this.
Claire could do nothing but obey. She pulled the door shut, closing the two men
in. As soon as the door was closed, Henry roared.
     
    "WHAT THE
FUCK?"
     
    Claire gasped and
clapped a hand over her mouth. Everyone sitting in their cubicles near Henry's
office all looked up with wide eyes. Asher popped his head out of his office
and gave her a questioning look. Claire walked over to him so she didn't have
to yell across the floor.
     
    "Henry's brother
Sebastian is here, ” Claire
said, glancing back at Henry's door.
     
    Asher sighed and shook
his head.   Dammit, Henry's gonna be
in a shit mood the rest of the day."
     
    "Do they not get
along? ” Claire asked.
     
    "Oh no, they do.
Sebastian is crazy though, likes to fuck with Henry whenever he can, ” Asher said with a smirk.
     
    Claire sighed.
"Great."
     
    "Please, like you
have anything to worry about? Henry treats you like gold, ” Asher scoffed.
     
    Claire rolled her
eyes. "No he doesn't."
     
    Asher gave
