XANDER AND CLAE'S MEET

Two years ago in Vancouver,

Clae was on her final year graduate. It's her dad's suggestion to do her studies there. She was there with her best friend Lisa, who is her childhood friend. One day post their classes Lisa requested Clae for shopping for her birthday so both of hailed a cab and started their journey. Once they reached a mall Lisa accidentally bumped into someone, abruptly she turned to apologise but that man raised his hand to slap her which is left in mid of air. Xander held that man's hand and pushed him away.

Xander: Mr, she didn't do that on purpose also she tried to apologise to you but you are trying to slap her, behave yourself.

Man: Here comes our hero, uh, is she your girl?

Xander: Mind your tounge Mr.

Man: What feeling irritated ahh?? can I touch your girl too and will apologise, that be win-win?

(once he completed everyone around started to laugh but Xander takes a step forward and started to speak)

Xander: I have a better idea, I'll touch your mom or sister and you can touch my girl it will be more fun huhh, shall we?

(this make that man to loss his temper to slap Xander but he advanced to take a step backward which makes that man to fall on his foot and the people around started to laugh. In next few minutes a cop came over there and took that man then everyone started to move on their ways. Later Lisa tried to start the conversation awkwardly.

Lisa: Uh.. mmm, thank you so much Mr, you have saved us from that bastard.

Xander: Never mind, henceforth be careful.

(by completing his sentence turned to leave by Clae's sudden voice made him stop, then turn around but stunned by her beauty and stood rooted for a while then Lisa's shake took him back)

Clae: Thank you so much sir, it really means alot to us, would you don't mind join us for a coffee as a token of thanks?

(initially Xander thought of refusing it but he want to know more about Clae so he agreed and they entered a cafe in the mall. Xander's view and way and of looking towards Clae haven't missed on Lisa's sight for which she laughed inwardly and started to tease Clae. Which makes her blush for a while. Then they took a seat and made their order. Meanwhile Xander's sight never shifted from Clae. To change the situation Lisa coughed slightly and everyone started to have some casual talks.)

Lisa: So Mr, what's your name and where your from?

Xander: Myself Xander Larsen, I'm from Texas.

Lisa: Oh my goodness we were also from the same.

Xander: Is it so, which family?

Lisa: I'm not from well known family but she is quite familiar Clara & co 's future CEO.

Xander: Really, It's great. Actually I'm not aware about the company but I have heard a little about them so don't take me wrong.

Lisa: It's not a biggie, so let talk about ourselves. So what's your purpose of visit sir.

Xander: No formalities just Xander, I'm here for my buisness meet.

Lisa: Oh great and how is it going?

Xander: Yeah it's good I think your friend fell so uncomfortable by my presence, shall Itake my leave?

( on their conversation Clae never interrupted she is just observing them, she is so reversed with others that's why she resist to start. On his sudden question she was jerked and started to speak nervously)

Clae: Uh..mmm,I'm really so..rry, I didn't mean it.

Lisa: Oh come on Clae he is a good guy so don't be reserved, speak up. Actually Xander she is so reserved with new ones but once she starts never stop, so give her little space.

Xander: Sure, let her be.

(meantime their order came with three latte and mousse)

Lisa: Let's have coffee.

(after their drink Xander requested both of them to join a dinner but they refused then by his huge request they accepted nd headed towards his private villa which is vast and spacious. On the living area there is a sofa with TV and big pencil drawing of Xander's which attracts everyone and Clae exclaimed by it's view)

Clae: Marvelous!!

Xander: Thank you it's my birthday present from my dad.

Clae: Really I wanted to meet him, is he here?

Xander: No he is no more, so I'm sorry.

(he said with a bitter tone)

Clae: Actually i need to apologise for upsetting you, I didn't mean it sorry.

Xander: Never mind come let's have dinner.

Lisa: Actually Clae have more interest in pencil drawing that's why she asked about your dad, also it's her passion.

Xander: Really, have you did any drawing?

Cale: Yes, not that much my friend, parents that's it's.

Xander : Can I have a look of that?

Clae: But I don't have it now.

Lisa: Hey I'm having my drawing with me in mobile, do you wanna see it Xander ?

Xander: Ofcourse, hope you don't mind.

(he raised a question towards Clae)

Clae: Not at all .

(they took a seat and started to look at Clae's some drawings and Xander was stunned by her art and appreciated her also request her to draw a sketch with him)

Xander: Seriously I love your art Clae why won't you draw me too, by that I'll be very happy.

(initially she was stunned by his request but considering his help she taught it's one among the way to repay him so she agreed in next moment)

Xander: Okay, come on still there is some stuff at my dad's room why don't you pick what you need and start over.

Clae: Sounds great, come let's go.

(Clae request Xander to sit on the couch by facing an opposite direction which is sort of candid view and she started to draw. It took almost an hour for her to complete. Once she is done she gestured Xander to have a look nervously. For the whole time Lisa was having some snacks in the living area and observing the scene then rushed towards the drawing by their conversation.)

Xander: Magnificent, Clae.

Lisa: Oh my goodness, Clae you never let me down by your work, I'm so proud of you.

(she really sketched him outstanding and everyone started to wish her cheerfully. Once recognising the time Xander requested them to have their dinner and stay here itself and leave by tomorrow. But they refused his request but Xander threaten them him care he won't talk with them if they leave, left with no choice they both agreed and started to have their dinner. The whole dinner went smooth and Xander showed them their room and headed towards his room. Lisa started to praise Xander and his looks, way of treating Clae . From the beginning Clae didn't have much interest with him as she already love Eric, she only pays him respect and grateful for his help. Lisa was well aware about Eric's behaviour and evil plan of marrying Clae but she didn't have any sort of proof to prove that. If she take one step against Eric, Clae will go to any extent to break her friendship. Since she taught Xander is a nice man she wanted to patch them up, that's why she is doing everything. On the contrary Xander lays on his bed with the drawing Clae did to his chest and went to deep slumber .
