Claire convinces herself in her heart so her guilt eases. She happily cooks for herself and Leo. By the
time she comes out of the kitchen, Leo is dressed and sitting on the sofa reading magazines.
Claire looks at Leo’s side face. She finds him very handsome. She suppresses the evil in her heart and
says, “president, lunch is ready.”
Leo puts down the magazine and walks up to Claire. His behavior is very natural. Claire feels like
they’ve been together for years.
No It must be an illusion! Since Leo said he likes her, Claire can’t help thinking. She needs to hypnotize
herself. Leo is her enemy. She has to hold back that inexplicable thought!
“What are you thinking?” When Claire blames herself, she hears Leo’s question.
Claire regains her mind and finds herself carrying a bowl of rice. Leo must think she’s weird.
To cover up her embarrassment, Claire eats and says vaguely, “I’m eating.”
“...” Leo takes a look at her and stops talking to her.
Leo’s attitude finally returns to normal. If he serves her or is gentle with her, Claire can’t eat!
It is already afternoon when they finish their lunch quietly. Leo says he’s going back to the company.
Claire nods and waves with a smile. “Goodbye, president.”
Claire’s words stun Leo who is wearing his coat. He stops and looks at Claire and asks, “don’t you
come with me?”
Claire points to herself and asks in bewilderment, “do I have to go, too?”
Leo comes up and grabs Claire. He says angrily, “I have to work overtime because of you. As a
secretary, you’re off before your boss gets off work.”
“But...” Claire wants to talk about the rumors in the company but is interrupted by Leo.
“Shut up. This is your boss’s order. You have to do it.” Leo says ferociously.
“Yes, boss...” Claire reluctantly gets dragged out of the house and onto the car by Leo.
When the car enters the company’s underground parking lot, Claire doesn’t want to follow Leo. She
stops and says seriously, “president, you go up first. If we two go together, it’s not good to be seen.”
Leo frowns. He says discontentedly, “what’s the matter? I’ve let them stop talking about it.”
“No way.” Claire is determined. She says solemnly, “though they don’t say it, what do they think? I don’t
want to be called a mistress where I can’t hear it. You know I hate this kind of thing the most.”
Claire seems determined, so Leo gives up. He says helplessly, “OK, I’ll listen to you.”
Claire watches Leo enter the elevator. A dozen minutes after he leaves, Claire walks into the elevator
that the employees use.
During this period, other employees enter the elevator. When they see Claire, they freeze and nod at
her. They walk into the elevator without saying a word and don’t talk about it.
Claire is a little surprised by the change in their attitude. She remembers that Leo said he solved it.
Although she doesn’t know how he did it, she is glad no one regards her as a mistress.
When the elevator finally reaches the top floor, Claire walks happily to her secretary’s desk. Claire
breathes a sigh of relief as she looks at the still tidy table. No one is against her.
Claire sits down to work for a while. The door of Leo’s office suddenly opens. Claire thinks she hasn’t
made coffee for Leo yet. She wants to stand up but she sees an unexpected person.
The woman freezes when she sees her. Then her face changes. She seems afraid or angry. She
angrily walks up to Claire and threatens her, “I’ve stopped spreading your rumors in the company as
your friend told me! But please let your friend do what he says and don’t show others my photos!”
Then she takes a contemptuous look at Claire and says, “I didn’t expect you have a background and
someone helps you. But Claire, you’re lucky this time! If you annoy me next time, I won’t let you go
easily!”
Tracy threatens her and turns to leave.
“…”
Claire stands confused. She has no idea what is going on. What is Tracy talking about? Her friend?
Photos?
Anyway, Tracy doesn’t bother her anymore, which is the best thing for Claire.
The bad luck of these days finally disappears. Claire’s mood relaxes. She goes to the tea room and
makes Leo a cup of coffee. When Leo sees it, he can’t help asking, “what happened? Why are you in
such a good mood?”
“It’s a secret.” Claire smiles at him and leaves the office playfully.
Leo is fascinated by her smile. He freezes for a moment. By the time he gets back to his senses, Claire
has left the office. Leo shakes his head helplessly. He seems to really like this woman.
But Claire’s good mood disappears when she works overtime. Claire has finished her work but Leo
doesn’t leave so she can’t leave.
So Claire has to sit in her seat bored. Leo finishes his work at 11 p.m. and comes out of the office.
He looks at the front desk of the secretary but doesn’t see her. He can not help frowning. Didn’t the
woman say she would wait for him?
Leo walks over unhappily and finds Claire asleep on the table.
Seeing this, Leo can’t help smiling. He walks into the front desk of the secretary and quietly admires
Claire’s face. He can not help bending down and kissing her and tasting her sweetness.
