“Oh?” Leo thinks for a while and nods with satisfaction. He praises her, “well done. Keep working.”
Claire gets Leo’s approval.
“Thank you for your compliment.” Claire nods and thinks of something. She reminds him, “it’s almost
lunchtime. Do you want to eat in the company or out?”
Leo looks down at his work. He frowns and says, “today I have lunch in the company.”
“Yes, president.”
Claire goes out of the office immediately and orders. Less than ten minutes later, a man goes upstairs
carrying a box. Claire is surprised. He is efficient!
The man puts the box down. Claire picks it up and is ready to go to Leo’s office. But the man stops her.
“Miss, please wait.”
“Ah?” Claire looks back and asks, “what’s the matter?”
“You haven’t paid yet!” The man smiles and says, “maybe you are new here. You need to pay in cash
on the spot!”
“...” What?
Claire looks at him in shock. Isn’t the restaurant working with the company and checking out at the end
of the month?
“I’m sorry. Please wait for a while. I’ll give you the money.” Claire puts down the box and wants to get
her bag. But when she reaches halfway, she suddenly thinks of something.
She got off the plane yesterday and went straight to the hotel to check in. She hasn’t gone to the bank
to get the money. She doesn’t have any dollars now. She has only a few euros!
Claire takes back her hand in embarrassment and smiles. She blinks and coughs, “do you accept
euros?”
“Ah?” The man is a little shocked. His mouth moves. “Are you kidding?”
I’m not kidding!
Claire is helpless. She has to say, “wait. I’ll find some money for you!”
Claire opens a door at will and goes straight in.
Where should she look for dollars? She has just come to the company. It’s not good to borrow money
from others!
Claire is thinking when suddenly a magnetic voice sounds. The man says, “what’s the matter with
you?”
Claire is shocked to hear the voice. She immediately looks at Leo and finds that she accidentally
opened the door of Leo’s office!
“Nothing, president. I’m in the wrong door.” Claire is embarrassed, but she tries to keep a calm smile on
her face.
She wants to open the door and go out, but as soon as it opens, she catch a glimpse of the man
waiting outside.
Seeing this, Leo can’t help but feel funny, “what happened? Who’s out there?”
“Nothing!” Claire’s face changes. She turns quickly to see Leo, but she finds him in front of her. In a
short time, Leo’s tall figure has covered her.
To make herself look vulgar, Claire wears a pair of flat shoes. Now Leo stands in front of her and
smiles. His eyes are deep and he looks down at her, which makes Claire feel stressed.
“Nothing?” Leo doesn’t believe Claire at all. He wants to pull her away from the door.
“Wait!” Claire looks at Leo in embarrassment and quickly stops him. “Actually...”
“What?” Leo chuckles and asks her.
“I’m short of money. Can you lend me some money?” Claire says without thinking.
“Money?” Leo is even more surprised. “Why do you borrow money? Do you have no money?”
Of course I have no money. I just returned home. I have a lot of euros but I don’t have dollars! Why
should I pay for you? You are going to eat those foods!
Of course, she doesn’t dare say that to Leo.
Claire hesitates and lies to Leo, “a friend of mine comes to me to borrow money, so...”
“Why does he borrow money from you? How much does he want to borrow?” Leo asks and seems
interested.
“A hundred dollars? Yes, a hundred dollars!”
Leo is surprised. “Only a hundred dollars?”
Claire, “…”
Claire is speechless. “Yeah, he’s poor, so now he needs a hundred dollars. Please lend him the money,
president.”
Claire is ashamed but she stares pitifully at Leo.
“I see.” Leo whispers and shrugs, “there are two hundred dollars on the table. Take it. You don’t have to
pay back!”
“Thank you, president.” Claire looks at Leo’s desk and finds that there are two hundred dollars on it.
She immediately gets out of under his shoulder and goes to get the money.
But when Claire’s hand touches the money, Leo says in a magnetic voice, “why hasn’t lunch been
delivered today? It should have been delivered by now.”
Claire’s hands tremble and she blushes immediately. Leo is a nuisance!
“Maybe it’s out there. I’ll go out and have a look. Don’t worry, president.” Claire takes the money and
wants to turn away. She can’t stay here.
Leo nods and walks back to his desk. He says lightly, “I’m not worried. I just hope you will be honest
and don’t tell me such a lie that will be seen through at a glance! I don’t need an idiot secretary!”
“...”
Claire opens the door to leave. She pauses. Damn. She is found by him. You’re an idiot! Your family
are idiots! Damn asshole!
“I see. President, I won’t do that in the future!” Claire grits her teeth and says. She scolds Leo in her
heart.
