Home / Chapter 161 I’m not a coquettish woman
Claire freezes. It takes her a long time to understand Leo. She reflects on what happened today. Does he suspect that she likes Luke?

Claire doesn't know whether to cry or laugh. Leo hasn't changed over the years. He thinks she likes every man she sees.

Why does Leo have to look down on a woman!

Claire can't help sighing. She explains, "Sir, I think you misunderstand something. Today is my second meeting with Mr. Luke. I don't like him. You don't need to worry. I'm not the kind of woman who likes a man at will."

Leo responds coldly, "I hope you do as you say."

Leo's face eases, so Claire exhales gently. Whenever and no matter what her identity is, she is so tired to get along with Leo.

The atmosphere is a little quiet. Claire takes a stack of papers from her bag for the meeting. She's going to give Leo some details.

Claire is reading the document carefully. Leo thinks this ugly woman is a little different. He is attracted by her preoccupation.

When Claire finishes, Leo suddenly asks her, "Angie, why haven't you got married yet?"

They are talking about business, but Leo suddenly asks her about it. Claire freezes.

Claire hesitates. Can she choose not to answer?

Claire doesn't speak and Leo knows he is too abrupt. He is also shocked by what he said.

But he just wants to know about her.

"Well, you don't have to answer."

Leo is not happy with his abnormality. He sits up straight and closes his eyes. He doesn't want to talk to her again.

Claire can't help touching the glasses on her nose. She looks at Leo in confusion. She doesn't understand what happened to him today.

Does he take the wrong medicine?

Leo has changed a lot and become more and more abnormal in six years here. Claire doesn't know him anymore.

The business meeting is held in another promising company. It's a little far away so they set out ahead of time.

This time, several business owners will talk about the development trend, future and innovation of the industry at the meeting.

To be honest, they are just chatting together.

By the time Claire and Leo arrive, there are already one or two business owners waiting in the conference hall. At first they exchange greetings. Claire doesn't care and stands quietly.

After a while, the door is opened from the outside. Claire looks ahead, but when she hears a familiar voice, she can't help looking at the door.

"I'm sorry I'm late." The man who comes in comes up and nods to them.

He smiles softly and is calm and confident. After greeting several business owners, he sits down.

Claire has been staring at him in shock.

The man's movements are so familiar and real. But why?

Why is Bryce still alive?

Claire is shocked. She can hardly believe her eyes.

God! So he's still alive!

Isn't Bryce dead?

Claire has the urge to run over and ask him. That year she saw his body and confirmed that he had died.

Is there something in the world that brings people back to life? Or are there two people in the world who are exactly the same? What happened?

Claire stands in shock and loses her mind.

Maybe because Claire's been staring at Bryce. Bryce sees her looking at him. Although he is a little confused, he looks at her politely and smiles. He is so gentle and refined.

Leo feels it, too. Seeing Claire like this, he can not help but frown and get angry. He thinks Claire likes Bryce. He can not help laughing at her in a low voice. "Take notes carefully. Don't be distracted!"

He almost believes her. He thinks she doesn't really like Luke, but he didn't expect that she not only likes Luke but also stares at Bryce.

Why does she like every man she sees? He underestimated her!

The more Leo thinks about it, the more angry he gets, but he can't lose his temper now. He doesn't know that his jealousy is more than anger.

Hearing Leo's warning, Claire immediately returns to her senses. By this time the meeting has begun. She can only take notes grudgingly. She's thinking a lot.

She can't calm down! She thinks of Bryce's death six years ago and the living Bryce in front of her.

Claire's doubts are unanswered. She rushes out of the room when the meeting is suspended. She runs to the tea room to drink water and calm down.

Claire leans against the wall after drinking water. When she calms down and wants to leave, she suddenly sees an unexpected person come in.

Yes, it was Bryce!

Claire stares at Bryce in front of her. She opens her mouth slightly and wants to say hello, but she doesn't know what to say.

"Hello." Bryce says politely, "you're Sir Howard's secretary, aren't you? I saw you standing behind him in the meeting just now."

"Yes, I am." Claire freezes for a long time before regaining her mind and staring at him.

Bryce can't help smiling and walks over to make a cup of coffee. He asks with a smile, "Miss, have you seen me before? Otherwise, why do you always look at me with such eyes?"
