"I just want to prove one thing. I don't like you at all and I don't want to seduce you! I'm not ugly and I can find a man. I can't want to seduce a man with a fiancee. Don't look at me like this, I'm seeking truth from facts!"
Claire says in one breath. She doesn't change her face and shows a smug expression.
Leo looks at Claire with a little surprise. He didn't know his secretary is so articulate before.
After hearing Claire's words, Leo seems to think of something. He nods with relief and pats her on the shoulder. He smiles and says, "I see. Since you don't like me, you can come to work in your normal clothes tomorrow. Don't worry, I won't like you either."
"..." Claire is speechless.
Is what she said useless?
Ah! Why is it so difficult to communicate with him!
Claire is frustrated. She doesn't want to change back to her normal dress now. She doesn't want Leo to care about her appearance. Why can't he face her in a way that he can accept her no matter what she looks like?
What's more, if she recovers, she has to deal with Tracy. Claire is in a bad mood at the thought of her!
After thinking about it, Claire decides to fight for more for herself. "President, I don't want to change..."
"You have to do that. This is an order!" Leo says domineering.
"Excuse me, why?" Claire looks at him calmly.
"Because I'm your boss!" Leo says it in a domineering way.
However, when Claire hears this, she suddenly bursts into anger! Since you have to be so tough and use your identity to suppress me, I'll let you do it!
Claire glares angrily at Leo and says, "in that case, I'll apply for leaving now! I quit!"
Claire doesn't believe Leo cares so much about her appearance!
Hearing this, Leo says seriously, "I don't approve."
Even if Leo says that, Claire still wants to leave. "It's no use that you stop me. Anyway, I quit! I'll deliver the resignation letter to your office later."
With that, Claire bypasses Leo and returns to her seat. She takes the pen and paper and begins to write.
Leo looks at Claire coldly and kindly reminds her, "even if you write it, it's useless. I won't take it."
"It's not up to you!" Claire glares at him and lowers her head to write.
"Really?" Leo smiles. "In that case, I'd like to see how you can give this letter to me. As long as it's not handed to me for a day, you can't leave!"
Claire is wondering what he means when Leo suddenly walks straight to the office and doesn't even look at her.
Claire pouts. He may be thinking of a bad idea. It doesn't matter. Even if he doesn't accept it, she must give it to him.
Three minutes later, she enters Leo's office. Claire angrily throws the resignation letter to him and says angrily, "resignation letter! I'm not going to do this boring job!"
However, Leo does not take it. The resignation letter falls to the ground. He just raises his eyebrows. "I said that as long as this letter isn't delivered to me personally, you don't really quit."
Claire just wants to say that she doesn't care and doesn't want to be paid, but Leo stops her.
"If you want to leave directly, believe me, there is no enterprise in the United States willing to accept you. I'll find you..."
He'll find her?
"You!" Claire stares at him. Leo is so overbearing!
She wants to say something more, but when she thinks about what Leo did before, she knows that he can really do what he say. If she annoys him, the consequences will be unthinkable.
In particular, if he remembers what happened six years ago, the consequences will be even more serious!
Claire doesn't want too many tragedies to happen. What's more, her son is with him. She dares not to say anything at the thought of it.
Staring at the resignation letter on the ground, Claire is bored!
When she hesitates to pick it up, Leo doesn't look at the resignation letter on the ground and says lightly, "give me a cup of coffee."
"..."
Coffee? Now it's important that she resign!
Claire is speechless and whispers, "I'm quitting now."
Leo says comfortably. "I know. Coffee first."
"No! I'm going to quit!"
Hearing this, Leo glances at her displeasantly. "I've just said what I should say. Don't let me repeat it. You are still my secretary now! Give me a cup of coffee!"
"..."
Claire is very angry but finally turns to pour him coffee.
Claire makes coffee and brings it to Leo. She thinks for a moment and decides to pick up the resignation letter on the ground and hand it back to Leo. She says stubbornly, "I'm going to resign. President, please have a look."
Leo sneers, "I don't agree!"
"Why! Employees have the right to resign! You have no right to control my freedom!"
Claire is completely angry this time. She doesn't understand why Leo cares so much about her resignation!
Leo doesn't care about Claire's anger at all. He quips at her. "I know you're here because Tracy recommended you, but you may not have read the staff's rules and received the right induction."
Claire is confused by Leo's words. "What do you mean?" she says, puzzled.
Leo says casually, "there is a rule that if you leave voluntarily after less than three years of work, you need to pay ten times the liquidated damages, which is one million dollars. You've signed the agreement, so this employee handbook takes effect immediately."
With that, Leo looks at Claire thoughtfully and smiles, "give me a million dollars and you can leave."
