Along the way, Fiona laughs happily. She points to the roadside scenery and explains to Leo from time
to time, “Leo, look, this is the downtown and the most prosperous street of City B. People gathered
here come from various countries and regions. People who can live here are worth millions of dollars...”
“Look, Leo, this is the most famous tourist attraction in City B. There are many people there. It’s the
peak season. Many people come to visit...”
Fiona calls Leo from President Howard to Leo. Claire doesn’t know why she is so cheeky.
Fiona keeps talking to Leo. Even if there is no topic, she can find out the topic. Claire doubts whether
she is from the propaganda department or the marketing department. She is very articulate. Claire
loses to her.
And Leo doesn’t care about her. She has to keep a warm attitude and keep talking since she gets on
the car.
Leo impatiently hands Fiona a bottle of water. Seeing this, Fiona thinks that Leo is caring for her. She
blushes a little and takes the water shyly. She whispers, “Leo, thank you.”
“You don’t have to thank me. If you’re tired, drink water and have a good rest. I’ll remind you when we
arrive.” Leo says patiently. In fact, his patience is about to be worn away by Fiona. If she continues to
nag, Leo will go crazy.
However, what Leo says becomes another concern in Fiona’s ear. She drinks happily and feels that the
water is sweet. She looks at Leo happily and says, “it’s OK, Leo. I’m not tired. Let me continue to tell
you about the scenic spots in City B...”
“No.” With his last patience, Leo says, “you don’t have to say it. It’s going to be a long time. Don’t worry
about it.”
“OK...” Fiona was excited before. Now she feels like she’s nagging. Her coldness collapses in a flash.
She coughs softly and sits up straight. She immediately becomes as cold as when they first met.
“...”
Claire is speechless and falls in the back seat. She suddenly has a little sympathy and understanding
for Leo. If she gets along with such a moody person, she will be mad, too.
In the following time, Fiona, although occasionally speaking, is not as frequent as in the car. In order to
keep the atmosphere comfortable, she is speaking alone throughout the meal.
Claire clearly feels that Leo’s patience is rapidly decreasing. They finish the meal in a hurry and leave.
According to the etiquette, Leo sends her to dinner, so he should take her home. Fortunately, Fiona is
tired after talking all day. On the way home, she is able to sit quietly.
It isn’t until they send Fiona home that Leo and Claire are relieved. Claire’s reaction is strongest. At the
moment when the car starts, she lets out a painful cry, “my God, she finally left! It’s killing me!”
Hearing Claire’s words, Leo’s impatience disappears in half, and he feels funny, “Why are you
uncomfortable? It’s me who faces her.”
“It’s all your fault!” Hearing this, Claire’s fallen body suddenly sits up. She stares at Leo in the driver’s
seat hatefully and says angrily, “it’s all because of you! Don’t play dumb! I wanted to go back to the
hotel but you didn’t allow me. You forced me to suffer!”
Leo is in a good mood after hearing Claire’s complaint. He can’t help laughing and gloating, “if I let you
go, who will relieve me? Are you willing to let your boss die in the fierce bombing?”
“Stop!” Claire is so angry that she thumps the back of Leo’s seat and shouts, “it’s all your fault! You said
that I can enter the company only by relationship. You’re happy to see me embarrassed, aren’t you?
Leo, you scum! Asshole!”
“I’m scum? Asshole?” Leo freezes at Claire’s words. He says unhappily, “I thought you would thank me.
Didn’t you see her hate eyes? If I didn’t say that, you would have been treated as a rival by her and
hung up to fight before frying.”
“It can’t be so horrible!” Claire is still angry, but Leo’s words clear up her misunderstanding of him. She
angrily blames Leo, “you attracted her violent bombing. You are the culprit. If you don’t provoke women
everywhere, she won’t treat me as a rival!”
Claire is unlucky and depressed.
When Leo hears what she says, he is happy. He throws away his unhappiness. He looks back at Claire
with interest and jokes, “are you jealous?”
Huh? She? Claire’s jealous?
Claire seems to hear a big joke. She angrily takes a sugar out of her bag and takes it apart and puts it
in her mouth. She proudly says, “I’m sorry! I eat sugar. I’m not jealous!”
Leo doesn’t believe it and continues to tease Claire. “I’m just kidding. Why are you so serious? Am I
right?”
“When Fiona said today that you are my mistress, I really wanted you to be my mistress. Claire, isn’t
my advice great?”
“... Leo!”
Claire never thought that such a reckless remark can be spit out of Leo’s mouth so easily. Doesn’t he
ever think of how much harm he will do to others when he says it!
Claire is really angry this time. She shouts Leo’s name angrily. At last she finds out that she doesn’t
know how to scold him. She has to pat the door and yell at Leo, “stop! I want to get off!”
Leo is surprised. He takes a look at Claire from the rearview mirror and asks in surprise, “Claire, what
are you doing? Are you angry?”
Is he blind?
Claire’s eyes are red with anger when she sees Leo refuses to stop. She slams the door and says
angrily to Leo, “Leo! You shouldn’t have made such a joke! Last time in City A, I said I would not be
mistress of anyone! Why are you making fun of this! Have you ever thought about how I feel?”
