Claire smiles and doesn’t respond.
It is really late, and Bryce says a few words and leaves.
After Bryce leaves, Claire is relieved. It is so painful that she doesn’t know how to deal with Bryce.
Thinking about it, Claire decides to make it clear the next time she sees him. They can’t be together. He can’t keep pestering her.
...
Leo doesn’t feel right after pushing Claire out of the car and driving away alone.
So he goes back to Claire, but he doesn’t find her there. He circles around but doesn’t see Claire. He can’t help worrying.
Leo calls Claire quickly but can’t get through.
Leo helplessly calls the personnel department and asks for Claire’s home address.
The personnel manager gets the call from Leo. He panicks and finds Claire’s information.
Leo takes Claire’s home address and drives to Claire’s apartment to find her. After parking, Leo enters the elevator and presses Claire’s floor number key.
After a while the elevator arrives and Leo goes upstairs. Because he is worried about Claire, he doesn’t see the man who is about to leave when he gets down the elevator.
They pass by but don’t see each other’s face. Leo only feels that the figure of the man is familiar. When he wants to look back, the elevator door is closed.
Leo looks back suspiciously and finds Claire standing at the door of her apartment looking in his direction.
Leo knows himself. He knows Claire doesn’t know he is coming. Something flashes through his mind at that moment. Is Claire standing at the door to see the man leave?
Did the man stay at Claire’s house just now? A man and a woman? How long did he stay? What did they do?
Leo feels suspicious and even jealous for a while. He feels very uncomfortable and unhappy.
Claire also sees Leo in front of the elevator. She frowns slightly and tries to close the door quickly.
This bastard! He left her on the side of the road. What is he doing here?
However, Leo moves faster than her. Seeing that she wants to close the door, he strides over and stops it before she closes it. He goes straight in and shuts the door.
“You!” Claire looks at Leo’s actions and stares at him angrily. She roars, “Why are you here? Get out of here!”
“Why can’t I come here? Why can others come but I can’t?” Leo is not happy. He is still thinking about the man just now.
Claire says bluntly, “yes, others can come but you can’t! Get out of here, or I’ll sue you for trespassing!”
“No!” Leo is angry with Claire and stubborn. He thinks of the man who just left and says, “is the man who just left your boyfriend?”
What?
Claire glares at the rascal angrily and says impatiently, “he’s a friend of mine!”
Boss?
Claire totally thinks he’s talking nonsense. She taunts him. “My president, it’s off-duty time. You have no right to manage my private life.”
But to Claire’s surprise, Leo smiles coldly. He looks at Claire thoughtfully and asks seriously, “did I say you’re off work now?”
It’s eleven! Can’t she get off work? How shameless he is!
Claire looks at the time and growls, “you didn’t tell me to work overtime tonight. Do you want to exploit employees? I have an industrial injury now. You don’t compensate me and don’t let me off work! Do you have a little humanity?”
“I’m your boss. I want you to work overtime!” Leo doesn’t listen to Claire at all.
Claire almost jumps up and scolds him, but her foot hurts and she can’t. She can only scold Leo, “I don’t care. You can deduct my salary. If the worst comes to the worst, I resign.”
Claire doesn’t notice when she speaks that they are very childish and just like two children arguing.
So when Leo hears Claire, he chuckles. He goes to the sofa next to Claire and lies down and says, “I don’t care, too. I’m not leaving tonight. I’m going to sleep in your house.”
Claire doesn’t believe him and quips, “if you want, you can sleep on the sofa. I have only one bed. I will not give it to you.”
“It’s okay. This sofa is very good.” Leo doesn’t care. With that, he closes his eyes as if enjoying himself.
