Fiona quickly waves and says, "I'm just curious. It's strange why President Howard has been engaged for so many years but hasn't been married yet."
"It's nothing." Leo smiles naturally on the surface, but in fact, he is impatient with Fiona.
His voice grows colder. "I've been busy with my career all these years. I don't have time to form a family for the time being. On the issue of marriage, I think I'd better stabilize my career first."
Fiona smiles happily at Leo's words. She can't help but cover her mouth and smile, "President Howard, your company is very big now. Is your career unstable? You are so humorous."
Fiona gets the answer and stops asking. She can't ask Leo why he doesn't get married, which will cause Leo's antipathy.
Fiona is not stupid. She likes Leo but she doesn't panic in front of him. On the contrary, Fiona is smart. No matter in career or emotion, she can take the absolute advantage to lead the prey into the trap step by step.
That's why her father is so relieved to give her the cooperation project.
Fiona stops asking, and Leo's impatience decreases. He smiles at Fiona and says, "I would like to work with your company more than this. As long as we decide on this cooperation project, I don't have to worry about my career. We can get married early, can't we?"
There's something in Leo's words. Fiona doesn't understand Leo. Does he want her to talk about cooperation projects quickly and then he can give her a chance to see if they can get married or does he just want to talk about cooperative projects and hurry home to marry his fiancee?
Fiona thinks for a moment and decides not to think about it. It doesn't matter. This is just the beginning. She is not worried. Then she has more time to let Leo know her real charm. She can learn more about his ideas.
When it's time to eat, Fiona stands up confident. She comes up to Leo and invites him warmly, "it's time for dinner, President Howard, would you like to have dinner with me?"
Fiona is tall and has a great figure. After all, she is a beautiful woman. Although she is wearing tight leather armor, he can see her cleavage and navel.
Leo will not refuse such a beautiful woman. What's more, she is the target of the cooperation project. Leo, of course, can't turn her down.
He stands up at once. He's one fist taller than Fiona. Even if Fiona is wearing high heels, she is not taller than Leo.
Leo smiles and says, "OK."
They're almost the same height and they're a good match. When they finish, they leave.
"..." Claire stares at the two of them and is at a loss.
She wants to scold for a long time. Fiona ignores her. Claire thinks she is jealous, so she doesn't care. But Leo doesn't call her. What does he mean?
Claire sits angrily in her seat. He looks at Leo's back and doesn't want to move. She suddenly wonder if Leo has ignored her. If he forgets her, she won't spare him!
Sure enough, Claire watches Leo and Fiona leave the reception room talking and laughing and never looking back.
"..."
Claire's eyes turn red.
Leo, you bastard!
As Claire curses Leo in her heart, Leo suddenly walks back to the door. He frowns and looks at Claire confused. "Claire, why are you here?"
"..." Claire watches Leo come back and call her. She feels angry and happy. For a moment she doesn't know what to say.
She blames Leo for not paying attention. But he comes back, which shows that he values her.
If she doesn't blame Leo, she feels aggrieved. After all, when he just left, he only looked at Fiona and didn't look at her at all!
At this time, Fiona comes back. She stands behind Leo and puts her hands around her chest. She looks at Claire indifferently.
She seems to resent Leo's coming back for a secretary. She is dissatisfied with a secretary's negligence and her boss comes back to find her.
There is no Claire in Fiona's investigation, so she doesn't know what happened to Claire and Leo. She mainly investigated Tracy. That woman can't beat her at all.
But Fiona feels a sense of crisis when she looks at the embarrassed female secretary sitting in her seat.
When she investigated, she didn't find out that Leo has such a beautiful secretary. Claire's temperament and delicate features make Fiona a little jealous. Although Claire just sits there quietly, she is conspicuous.
Claire has mature and elegant female charm. She is a rival who makes every woman feel the crisis. Fiona wonders why such an extraordinary woman becomes Leo's secretary.
Claire's silence displeases Leo. He strides up to Claire and pulls up her arm and says, "let's go to dinner."
There is casual affection and intimacy in his tone.
After her drowning and what happened in the hospital, Leo stops making fun of Claire. Although his attitude is still so domineering, it is much better than before.
Claire doesn't notice this subtle change in Leo. She is still angry that Leo just ignored her and left, so she follows Leo in silence.
Leo still holds Claire's hand as they walk out of the reception room. Fiona sees it and asks casually, "President Howard, you have such a good relationship with your secretary. Is she yours..."
Fiona stops in the middle. She's looking at Leo and Claire meaningfully. Her meaning is obvious.
She is asking if Claire is Leo's mistress or if Leo doesn't marry because he has such a beautiful little woman.
