“No way!” Before Leo finishes, Claire interrupts him, “you can’t live here!”
Thinking of that painful experience, she feels unable to live with him.
“Why?” Leo looks at her puzzled.
“Because...” Claire pauses. She can’t say frankly that she’s afraid he’ll eat her. Claire says in a slightly
euphemistic way, “because it’s not good for a man and a woman to spend the night together. It’s not
good to be known.”
“We did that last night. What’s wrong?” Leo replies quickly. With that, he suddenly thinks of something
and smiles meaningfully, “are you afraid that I will treat you as I did last night?”
Claire blushes at the thought of last night!
She looks down and whispers yes.
But her shame lasts only a few seconds. Claire suddenly looks up and says seriously, “anyway, we’re
just the boss and the employee. You have a fiancee and I have a son. And it was an accident last night.
If you live here tonight and it’s known to others, it’s not only bad for your personal image, but also bad
for my reputation...”
Leo chuckles and looks at Claire thoughtfully. He smiles and says, “don’t worry. I won’t do that to you
again. I guarantee no one will know it and it will not affect your reputation.”
He’s so unreasonable!
Claire is angry. She wants to politely reject Leo. Now it seems that she can only lose her temper.
She throws away her chopsticks and says, “I don’t like you staying here, can’t I?”
She finally loses her temper today.
Leo is happy to see Claire finally become energetic, but he says seriously, “of course not. Your boss
lives in your house because of work, but you don’t want to. Is there anyone like you as a subordinate?”
This bastard! He can only force her with his identity!
Claire gets angry and says to Leo, “now that you mention that you are the boss and have money, you
can stay in a nearby hotel. Why do you have to live in my little house? What is your purpose?”
Leo doesn’t think so. He wants to argue with Claire and seriously ask, “since there is a place where I
can eat and sleep for free, why should I pay for a hotel? I’m not stupid.”
Don’t you have a lot of money? Damn!
Leo completely pisses Claire off. She slaps the table and stands up and looks down at Leo in his chair.
She sneers at him. “President Howard, are you kidding me? You are the president of a public company.
Your business is all over the country and even abroad. You told me you came here to save money? I
don’t believe it!”
Compared with Claire’s angry look, Leo seems to be calmer. He casually taps on the desk and says
lazily, “you know our company so well, but I’m going to get married. I want to buy a wedding dress and
the biggest diamond ring for my future wife. I want her to have the biggest wedding in the world. After I
marry her, I will make her carefree and not go out to work in the future. I’ll keep her all my life...”
“So I have to save money! Are you still going to drive me away now?”
“...”
Claire is speechless. She finds Leo increasingly unreasonable. She doesn’t realize that Leo has such
potential before! He’s just a bastard who does everything to achieve his goal!
Claire doesn’t speak, so Leo smiles, “if you don’t speak, I think you agree...”
In the middle of the conversation, Leo’s cell phone suddenly rings. He pauses and takes out his cell
phone and says impatiently, “hurry up. If it’s OK, I’ll hang up.”
“...”
After a while, Leo, who is in a bad mood because he is interrupted, suddenly changes his face. He
asks uncertainly, “what do you say? Tracy’s hurt?”
Claire’s heart pounds. She has a foreboding feeling, but she watches Leo make a phone call quietly.
Leo looks serious. He asks which hospital she is in and wanted to leave.
He says anxiously to Claire, “Angie, something’s wrong with my fiancee, so I’m going to see her. You
can think I said nothing just now. Thank you for the dinner tonight. I am leaving.”
Then he opens the door and leaves without looking back.
“...”
Claire watches Leo leave in shock. She can’t accept the fact. At first, she didn’t take what Leo said
seriously, but now Leo’s words and deeds make her serious.
Leo just said that he will be good to his future wife. Leo said that he will hold a grand wedding for his
future wife. He also said that he will support her for life and give her carefree living conditions.
Those words hit Claire’s heart like needles at the moment. Yeah, Tracy is his fiancee now and definitely
his future wife. Leo just seemed to yearn when he was talking. He must like Tracy very much.
Otherwise, he would not react so much and leave in such a hurry when he heard about Tracy’s
accident.
Claire is a little upset. She doesn’t understand what is wrong with her. She is a little upset when she
thinks of Leo’s kindness to Tracy.
Is she possessed?
Claire is in a bad mood. She cleans up the dishes on the table and goes to the bathroom for a bath
before going to bed.
Because she sleeps too long in the daytime, she can’t sleep at night. Claire is lying in bed, tossing and
turning. She is thinking about the scene where Leo left.
Claire puts her face in the quilt and tries to hypnotize herself to stop thinking about him.
