Claire is desperate. She turns her head displeased and says plainly, “she’s just an ordinary friend of
mine. You certainly don’t know her.”
“Really?” Leo obviously doesn’t believe Claire. He sees Claire suddenly in a bad mood. He seems to
see through her. He says quietly, “but if I don’t know your friend, why did her son go to my company?
Why didn’t he go to someone else?”
“...”
Leo is right. Claire can’t make up a good excuse for the moment. She thinks for a moment and says
coldly, “maybe her son is ill.”
Conan, who is playing computer in Luke’s villa, suddenly sneezes. He rubs his arm and looks for the air
conditioner remote. He thinks the temperature is too low.
Leo takes a meaningful look at Claire and doesn’t go on asking. Just then the ship lands. He takes
Claire and goes out.
Claire is pulled by Leo and stares at his back. She secretly determines that she will find a chance to
expose Leo. She wants to know how long he wants to hide her son!
In fact, Claire is most worried about whether Leo takes good care of Conan and whether he treats him
as his own son. After all, he didn’t know Conan before. Will he be nice to him?
Isn’t Leo curious about Conan’s biological mother? He doesn’t look for her.
Claire and Leo return to the hotel. Before they part, Leo can’t help kissing Claire on the forehead.
Claire goes back to the room and quickly goes to the bathroom to rub her forehead. She thinks he is
too amorous. He was with Fiona the other day. Now he does this to her!
Leo wasn’t like this before he lost his memory. At least at that time, he was single-minded about the
little wild cat.
But she is the little wild cat!
Claire looks at herself in the mirror and suddenly slaps her face hard. She tells herself to stop thinking
about that bastard! She’ll be completely influenced by Leo!
But it doesn’t work.
The next day Leo knocks on her door and wants to take her out. Claire’s revolt doesn’t work and Leo
pulls her out of the room.
They spend two days in City B. During this period, they go rafting, boating, going to the aquarium and
watching movies. It seems that in these two days they do a lot of things that lovers do.
In these two days, Claire constantly hints in her heart not to indulge! They are not lovers! They are just
passers-by who meet by chance! They will be separated later!
Fortunately, Claire has enough willpower. She keeps hypnotizing herself in her heart so she isn’t
seduced by Leo.
…
In City A.
Claire looks at the familiar city after getting off the plane. She shouts in her heart, I am finally liberated!
But before they leave the airport, Leo takes her hand. They walk side by side. Leo developed this habit
in the two days in City B.
Claire’s heart rejoices at the shout. But Leo’s actions leaves her speechless. She says unhappily,
“president, we are in public now. We’re in City A! Is it good for you to do so?”
Leo is always expressionless in front of outsiders. Hearing Claire’s words, he glances sideways at
Claire. There is a smile in his eyes but he says calmly, “there are many people here. It doesn’t matter.”
“...” Claire looks down at her hand that Leo holds. She can’t help worrying and looks around to see if
anyone is following them.
It doesn’t matter if Leo is exposed, but she’s an ordinary woman. If she is reported and surrounded by
paparazzi, she will be in trouble.
Last time they came to the airport, Leo parked his car in the parking lot. He tells Claire to wait in place
and he goes to get the car.
When Claire gets in the car, Leo says they will go for dinner first and then he will drive her back to her
apartment.
In these two days, whether Claire agrees with Leo or not, she does what he says. Claire develops a
habit these two days. Whatever Leo says, she does as she is told.
It’s no use protesting.
Fortunately, nothing happens when they are eating and going back. Claire is afraid that acquaintances
will see her with Leo.
Leo sends Claire downstairs to her apartment. This time he kindly helps her carry her luggage upstairs.
He smiles and says to her, “have a good rest today. Start work tomorrow.”
“OK.” Claire responds casually. She takes out the key and turns to open the door.
Claire’s insipid reaction causes Leo’s dissatisfaction. He takes Claire and bows his head to kiss her.
Then he lets her go with satisfaction and says with a smile, “go in.”
“... Leo!” Claire can’t help shouting at him at last. “This is City A. I often meet people I know. Can you
hold back a little? If it’s seen, we can’t explain it! If we have gossip, I’ll be in trouble! I don’t want to be
called mistress on the street!”
“If you still have a little respect for me, please don’t do something misleading to me casually in the
future, OK?”
Hearing Claire’s words, Leo becomes serious. After a long time, he says something makes Claire
speechless, “OK, I’ll do this to you when there’s no one.”
Claire’s going to be pissed off by Leo!
She gives Leo a helpless look and turns to open the door. She goes into the house without looking
back and slams the door shut and leaves Leo outside.
The moment Claire closes the door, Leo stops smiling. His eyes are a little dim. He stands at the door
for a long time before turning away.
Claire starts work the next day. Everything is regular. But when Leo walks out of the elevator, she can’t
help but straightening her back and looking at the computer in front of her.
Fortunately, Leo is as cold as before. He gives Claire a light glance and goes straight to his office.
Leo is finally back to normal, so Claire is relieved. But she is inexplicably depressed.
