Claire stands up angrily and pushes Leo away.
Leo has got her glasses so he lets her push him away.
“Leo, you bastard!” Claire is so angry that she wants to slap Leo. Her hand is stopped by Leo in midair.
Leo grabs her hand and looks thoughtfully at Claire’s face.
After Claire’s glasses are removed by him, he sees her features clearly. But he feels different. The
secretary’s face is really older. She has wrinkles and traces of time.
Leo coolly returns Claire’s glasses. He says disappointedly, “you don’t have to be so angry. Here you
are.”
“...”
Of course, Leo doesn’t see Claire’s real face. Because yesterday Claire went home and put glue on her
face. She completely changed her appearance.
Leo doesn’t see anything in her face today.
But what’s important now is not that she doesn’t look like the beautiful woman last night, but that Leo
plays a trick on her!
Claire stares angrily at her glasses in Leo’s hand. Her eyes turn red and she roars, “are you kidding me
to remove my glasses? You bastard. What do you think I am?”
Seeing Claire’s eyes red, Leo is stunned and can’t speak, “I...”
Claire angrily throws the glasses away and says, “I don’t want the glasses! Ha-ha. I didn’t expect you to
flirt with a secretary with a child. You are shameless!”
Claire taunts him. Leo knows he is wrong, but he is not happy with Claire’s words. He says
discontentedly, “it’s just a kiss. You don’t have to be serious. I didn’t really do anything to you. Besides,
I don’t like you.”
Claire sneers. “Just a kiss? You’d better not like me! I thought you just like flirting with women. I didn’t
expect your private life to be so dirty!”
Six years passes, but he is still like this!
Claire is really angry. Now she seems to return to the scene when she was humiliated by him six years
ago. She feels so sad and angry that she shivers all over.
Claire raises her hand and tries to slap Leo in the face, but he catches her by the wrist.
Leo pushes Claire’s hand away and his face is cold. He says scornfully, “don’t overestimate yourself. I
can’t stand a woman like you!”
“Asshole!”
Claire stares at Leo and bites her teeth and leaves.
She slams the door shut as she goes out. They part in discord again.
Claire goes to the tea room and pours the coffee. It suddenly occurs to her that she is always enraged
by Leo and quarrels with him. Sooner or later she will be fired. She can’t find Conan!
Claire returns to her seat in anger and frustration. She thinks for a moment and goes on working.
Claire has been working. When she is about to leave work, the internal phone rings suddenly. She
answers the phone without thinking.
“There’s a party tonight. You go with me.” Claire hears Leo’s low voice.
Claire is still mad at him. After a long time she replies, “I see.”
Then she hangs up.
Work and personal life should be separated.
They leave the company together after work.
The party is held in the most expensive hotel. The price of a dish is several thousand dollars. Ordinary
people can’t afford it.
Claire thinks it isn’t food but money! They are so rich!
This time Howard Group has a contract with the Sir of a well-known company. Claire and Leo arrive
early. The Sir is a few minutes late but when he sees Claire, he is not satisfied.
Claire pouts. She doesn’t want to look so ugly, but the Sir’s eyes are so annoying!
Before Claire finishes worrying, the apparently drunk Sir waves at her and says, “you! Come here!”
Claire takes a puzzled look at Leo. After getting his consent, she goes to the Sir. “Hello, what can I do
for you?”
“Drink the wine!” The Sir points to the glass he has used. It’s full of wine. Will Claire use the glass he
used?
Claire takes a look at Leo first, but she sees Leo shrug and be cold.
Claire grits her teeth. Doesn’t he want to help her?
This contract is hard won. Many employees work hard for it. If she refuses and annoys the Sir to break
the contract, she can’t afford the consequence.
Claire thinks for a moment. She really doesn’t want to use the glass he used, so she sits down beside
the Sir with a smile. She takes a new glass and pours herself wine. “I think a toast to you, Sir.”
Then she drinks the glass of wine.
When the Sir sees Claire drinking, he can’t help laughing, “great! Sir Howard, you have a good
secretary. Let’s keep drinking!”
Then he pours Claire another drink and asks her to continue.
“...” Claire is speechless.
Claire looks at Leo. He is staring at her coldly. She is so angry that she has another drink. Her
temperature goes up and there seems to be a fire in her stomach.
Claire’s directness makes the Sir laugh. He touches Claire’s thigh with his hand and looks at Claire’s
chest with a smile.
He’s obviously drunk!
Claire’s face suddenly changes. She has goose bumps all over her body and is too nervous to move.
Claire dodges and tries to leave but is caught back by the Sir. Just then Leo jumps up and kicks the Sir.
“Bang!” The chair falls to the ground with the Sir.
