He gives Claire a meaningful look and says, “I’m afraid that man is not a simple person, is he?”
He can arrange people to his own exclusive office at will. He must be a leader.
If it’s a small misunderstanding, it’s easy to solve. If they are enemies, the cooperation project may fail.
Now that Claire knows the leader, why doesn’t she say it earlier? She is recommended by Juan, but...
Claire nods in silence after the boss finishes.
The boss is desperate. “What’s your relationship with him? Will this cooperation project...”
The boss doesn’t go on, but his meaning is clear.
Claire’s face changes. It’s sad to be suspected. She shakes her head firmly and says, “boss, don’t
worry. He is not the kind of person to hold a grudge…”
Claire doesn’t go on. She remembers that Leo kicked the president in the crotch to keep him from
touching her thigh. She remembered when they were in City B, Leo accosted Fiona to get the
cooperation project.
It shows that Leo is the kind of person to hold a grudge.
What’s more, she suddenly disappeared before. Leo will not let her go easily. According to Alice’s
description, she knows how angry he is now.
Leo doesn’t rush to the place where she works directly to make trouble, which is his greatest
endurance.
Claire doesn’t go on so the boss can see that she isn’t too sure about it. He sighs in disappointment
and asks tentatively, “why don’t you go and see what’s going on? I think he is very satisfied with our
design. You know the design department stayed up more than a week to make this work. Now there is
an opportunity. I hope you...”
The boss looks at Claire and is in a dilemma. Even he feels embarrassed.
Claire hears him. Although she is disappointed with the boss’s attitude, she understands that an
entrepreneur is not willing to give up such a good opportunity when he can achieve long-term
cooperation with a listed company.
The boss is from the perspective of the company. It is respectful of him to ask her so gently. Although
Claire doesn’t know whether he respects Juan or her, she can understand.
Claire presses her lips. She ponders in her heart whether to grant the boss’s request.
If she goes, she will be in danger.
But if she doesn’t go, the chance of cooperation will surely fail. The company will lose a lot of human
and financial resources. Even if Claire doesn’t go, Leo will come to her.
Leo knows where she is. Claire doesn’t believe he won’t come to her.
Claire thinks for a moment. She can’t escape Leo. She’d better go. Maybe there’s a chance.
Claire takes a deep breath and looks at the boss seriously and says, “I see. I will go. I will win the
contract for our company!”
Hearing Claire’s words, the boss shows a relieved smile. He looks at Claire happily and says with a
smile, “I know you are a dedicated person. Don’t worry. As long as you can get this cooperation project,
I will never forget what I promised you!”
Claire just smiles and doesn’t talk. She doesn’t know if she can come back to work again. She wants to
do something for her colleagues who have been with her for more than a week. She wants to thank
them for making her happy.
...
However, when Claire stands downstairs of Howard Group, she can’t help but want to escape. She
thinks she can find another job directly, but Juan recommended her. If she resigns suddenly, she will
disgrace Juan.
Claire thinks she owes Juan. She doesn’t want to do anything to embarrass him.
Claire cheers herself up again. She plucks up her courage and walks into Howard Group. The
receptionist knows her. She is greeted upstairs.
The girl used to pass by the floor where she and Leo worked. She is a girl who likes to laugh. When
she sees Claire, she takes her to the elevator and says, “Claire, you’re back. The president is very
grumpy these days when you are away. I dare not even go upstairs to send information. Nobody but
Mr. Luke dares to approach the president.”
Claire is no longer the secretary of Howard Group. She is still embarrassed when she meets her former
colleagues.
She tries to smile and responds, “really?”
“Of course!” The girl nods in an exaggerated way, and then she looks around. She mysteriously leans
over Claire’s ear and says, “I advise you to be careful later. Don’t make him angry.”
There are only two of them in the elevator. Claire doesn’t understand why she is so mysterious. She
says coldly, “don’t worry.”
On the way here, she has been fully prepared.
The girl is a natural cheeky person. When Claire was a secretary of the company before, she
experienced her passion. Seeing Claire’s indifference, she asks curiously in a low voice, “Claire, can I
ask you something?”
Claire raises her eyebrows and glances at her. She says coldly, “yes.”
The girl looks around and says to Claire, “are you really the president’s lover? Is the boy you brought
that day the son of you and the president?”
How dare she ask her this question!
But when Claire was scolded as a mistress, she also asked about her relationship with Leo. She is a
gossip girl. The day Claire brought Conan, she had no chance to ask her.
Claire smiles and shakes her head. “I have nothing to do with Leo. Don’t think too much.”
“Then why...” The girl wants to keep asking, but then they get to Leo’s floor. The elevator door opens.
The girl has to shut up.
