After they sit down on the sofa, Leo is still unhappy. He asks impatiently, “Luke, do you like my new secretary?”
“What?” Luke freezes and looks at Leo in disbelief. He smiles and says, “Leo, what are you thinking? How can I like her! I just happened to see her and say hello to her. Why do you care so much? Do you like her and care about her after you get along for a few days?”
Leo is teased by him and immediately says unhappily, “I don’t.”
“That’s good!”
Although Luke knows what Leo thinks, he continues to pretend. He puts his hand on Leo’s shoulder and says with a smile, “neither of us like her. Why are you not happy? Cheer up! Leo, we’re going to talk about something important later!”
“...” Leo glances at Luke lightly and shuts up.
Luke can’t help complaining in his heart. You like her but you won’t admit it.
You liked her six years ago. Six years later you lost your memory and you still like her!
He has been suffering.
Luke seems to be really busy these days. He tells Leo something important and stays for half an hour before leaving. Claire wants to ask him if he would like to have lunch with her, but he is in a hurry so she doesn’t want to disturb him.
At noon, Leo says he will not eat with her today. He’s going to the hospital and accompanying Tracy.
She needs him to eat with her?
Claire pouts scornfully and can’t help asking him about Tracy’s health.
“She’s fine. Today she’ll be discharged and I’m going to pick her up.” Leo says as he puts on his coat.
“By the way, reschedule the ticket to City B and arrange the itinerary.”
“OK.”
Claire nods and is a little upset.
After Leo leaves, Claire wants to slap herself. What happened to her? She’s not happy for Leo. Who he wants to be with is his business. She shouldn’t think too much!
Maybe the grievance she suffered at the airport that day hasn’t dissipated, so her mood is so depressed. If Leo dares to tease her again this time, she must teach him a lesson!
Claire is hungry when she thinks.
Luke is too busy to have lunch with her. Leo is going to pick up his fiancee. Claire doesn’t want to have lunch alone. She doesn’t have much work in the afternoon. Bryce helped her when her foot hurt. She can treat him to lunch in return.
So Claire calls Leo to ask for leave in the afternoon.
Leo is silent for a while. He thinks he doesn’t have time to go to the company in the afternoon, so he allows it.
Because Claire treats Bryce, she asks him to order first. Bryce is a gentleman, so he asks Clair to order. Claire has no choice but to look at the menu.
She looks down and doesn’t see Leo and Tracy at the restaurant door.
They seem to have just come out of the hospital. Tracy looks great and doesn’t look like she just has a car accident. She holds Leo’s arm and they seem to love each other.
Claire and Bryce don’t see them. Leo sees Claire first. He freezes and becomes unhappy when he sees Bryce sitting opposite Claire.
What’s wrong with this woman? Isn’t she Luke’s girlfriend? Why is she eating out with Bryce now? Is she coquettish?
Leo is a little upset. He goes over to say hello and satirizes her, “Miss Bennett, I didn’t expect to see you again today. Don’t you come out with Luke today? Have you changed your date?”
He’s satirizing Claire. She was with Luke the other day, but today she’s with Bryce.
Hearing Leo’s voice, Claire looks up at him. When she sees Tracy holding his arm, she is not happy either. Although his words don’t sound wrong, Claire knows him and recognizes his sarcasm.
The man must misunderstand that she is seducing another man.
Claire says angrily and reluctantly, “Luke is my friend. Mr Bryce is also a friend of mine. Is it too much for me to eat out with my friends? Do I get in the way of Mr. Howard?”
