It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1095 Astonishment (Part Three)

"Why the hell do you want to show me that? Are you really planning to apply for a job there? To be honest, I don't think you stand any chance. Their job requirements are too difficult to meet. There isn't any work there that is suitable for us." Louisa had been Claire's roommate for years, so she knew about her grades. They were both pretty awful at studies. They would definitely not get a job in a company like FX International Group. "Of course not! You will know when you see the pictures." Claire dragged Louisa into the study without waiting for her reply. She had been using Kevin's computer to look up Rain before Louisa came here, so she didn't need to turn it on.

"All right, all right. Now I'm intrigued. Let me see the pictures." Louisa felt helpless at Claire's behavior and let herself be dragged to the computer. Louisa couldn't deny that she was curious.

"So what do you think of him?" Claire pointed at the screen. On the computer was a news report, along with a picture of a very handsome man. It was Rain. Claire had looked him up as soon as she got home after lunch. Judging from the various reports across the internet, she could tell that Rain was an enticing man who could easily charm any woman who walked the earth.

"Him? Is he a famous movie star?" Louisa lowered her head and leaned toward the screen. She looked at the man on the screen for long but didn't recognize him at all. He was obviously not a famous star whom she knew.

"Um. You really don't know him at all, do you? He is the vice president of FX International Group! Leena and I had lunch with him today." A deep blush stained Claire's cheeks. One would think she was in a relationship with Rain seeing her act like this. She looked bashful. In truth, there was nothing going on between them. Claire just had a one-sided crush.

"What? Are you kidding me? He is the vice president of FX International Group? How do you know each other?" Listening to what Claire said, Louisa sat down and began reading the information on the screen.

"Well, I didn't know him before, but Leena seems to be very familiar with him." Recalling how intimately Rain had behaved with Leena, Claire felt indignant. Her lips thinned and she looked grumpy. She looked as if someone owed her money. Claire couldn't understand why Leena knew people like Rain.

"You must be joking, right? How is it possible she knows someone as rich as him? Did you mistake him for someone else?" Louisa frowned in hesitation. How was this possible? Why could Leena know someone like this man? Wasn't she just an ordinary girl from an ordinary family? Girls like Leena shouldn't know men as rich and famous as Rain.

"Why would I mistake him for someone else? Look at his face! Besides, I confirmed it once I got home. It was indeed him who had lunch with us." Claire let out a sigh under her breath. After she had looked him up online, she realized that Leena had not been lying to her. Rain was indeed a playboy who slept with a lot of women but never stayed with them. Could she really handle a man like that? Claire was unsure of herself all of a sudden.

"So you have a crush on him, right? And what about him? Does he like you too?" Louisa only asked because she was supposed to. Truthfully, she was just annoyed. Claire was testing her patience. Louisa didn't want to know about Claire's relationship troubles. She had come here to get her man and ask for Claire's help in doing so, not the other way around. She didn't want to bother herself with her friend's problems.

"Louisa, don't you think he's quite handsome? He looks like a playboy. Someone who never sticks with one woman. He has this bad boy persona that makes me want to conquer him." Claire lowered her head to hide the blush on her face. She didn't tell Louisa about the friction between her and Rain during lunch.

"Well, it seems to me you are falling head over heels. You must really like him. I suppose a man such as him has many women chasing after him. Do you think you have a chance?" Louisa asked her carefully, not wanting to upset Claire too much. In her opinion, Claire was living in a fantasy.

"I know, right? Louisa, you think he's great too, don't you?" What Louisa pointed out was what Claire was afraid of, so she intentionally ignored her words. Right now, all she needed was a reason to persuade herself that Rain had acted with her that way because he wanted to catch her attention, not because he didn't like her. She didn't know how to convince herself to pursue Rain - a man who was clearly out of her league.

"Wait a minute, who is this other man? I think I have seen him somewhere." Louisa's attention was suddenly drawn to a larger picture on the screen. She had a feeling she had seen this man before, but she couldn't remember where.

"Oh! You mean him? He is the president of FX International Group! What? Do you know him?" Claire asked in confusion. The man looked even more handsome and rich than Rain, but it was obvious he was also more aloof and untouchable, judging from the distant look on his face. Claire was sure she couldn't handle a man like that. She was self-aware enough to know this.

"No, I don't know him. He just looks familiar, that's all. Let me think. Oh! I remember where I saw him! If I am not wrong, he is Leena's brother!" Louisa's eyebrows furrowed. She remembered correctly, didn't she? This man was Leena's brother. Leena had said it herself. If it was true, had she been wrong about Leena's background all this time? Leena wasn't some poor girl from an ordinary family, was she? She must be rich and born to a noble household, like her brother. The thought made Louisa lose her confidence. 'How can I compete with that?' she wondered, but quickly recovered. 'No, I am thinking too much. If they are really brother and sister, why don't they have the same last name?'☐☐☐☐☐
