"I don't care what your attitude is when you say it. I don't want to hear the word mistress from you anymore. I don't want to be your mistress! I don't want it! You don't deserve it!"

Claire almost roars. Leo says unhappily, "Claire, since you know it's a joke, why are you so angry?"

Leo's words stop Claire. She looks a little unnatural, but she says angrily, "I don't like you kidding anyway. I'll think you don't respect me!"

"..." Leo glances at Claire through the rearview mirror. He sneers and asks, "Claire, when you talk like this, have you thought about me?"

"What do you mean?" Although Claire is still angry, she is very rational. Leo's words make her feel weird and disharmonious. She looks at Leo doubtfully as if to find out the answer from him.

However, Leo doesn't plan to say it again. After he says that, he looks at the front carefully and drives.

When they get to the hotel, Leo hands the car to the park man without saying a word and walks straight to the hotel door.

Claire follows him, but he walks fast. Claire has no choice but to trot.

After they reach the floor, Claire wants to say something else to Leo, but Leo enters the room alone. He slams the door shut and leaves Claire alone in the hallway.

"..."

Claire watches in shock as Leo closes the door. She can't help but touch her nose and wonder why he goes crazy again.

Claire doesn't know why Leo is angry. If he is angry at what she said in the car, she doesn't blame him, but instead he blames her?

Who says the wrong thing first? Will she have been so angry if he hasn't told her to be his mistress first?

Who doesn't think about other people's feelings? Is it right to let a woman with a child be another's mistress? What's more, the man has a fiancee!

Who doesn't pay attention to whom?

Claire gets angry the more she thinks about it. She opens her room door and slams it shut. She takes a bath and goes to bed in anger.

...

The next day, Claire gets up and dresses. She goes downstairs and has breakfast. After breakfast, she goes back upstairs and knocks on Leo's door.

However, Leo may still be angry about yesterday. Claire knocks but no one opens.

Why is he angry about a little thing? She doesn't pursue as a woman, but he is still angry as a man.

Claire knocks again, but no one comes to open the door. Claire has to give up the chance to wake up Leo.

Claire turns back to the room and wants Leo to come to her. Anyway, he must take her with him to negotiate cooperation projects. It doesn't matter if he doesn't bring her. Claire doesn't care.

To Claire's surprise, Leo doesn't come to knock on her door. Claire spends the whole morning playing with the computer absently and glancing at the door from time to time.

Towards noon Claire can't help but get up and leave the room and knock on Leo's door again.

This time, Leo still doesn't open the door.

What's he doing?

Claire can't help frowning. She stares at the door frame. Is he angry or ill?

Claire knocks on the door again and shouts, "Leo, open the door. I have something for you."

"..."

However, no one in the room responds to her.

After a long time, Claire becomes impatient. She stares at the doorframe and growls in her heart, okay, Leo, you ignore me, and I ignore you!

Claire goes back to her room and slams the door again. She wants him to know that she will be angry, too.

Until night Leo still doesn't come to her and doesn't call her! Claire stares at the cell phone and the door. At last she is so anxious that she paces the room up and down impatiently.

Is Leo crazy? She doesn't care about it as a woman, but he is angry all day for this little thing!

Claire stares at her cell phone and wants to call and scold him. But she thinks he will think she cares about it. He will be very proud!

He will certainly have another chance to mock her. Claire thinks stubbornly, no, I can't call him!

So Claire spends the whole day in a tangle. Her mood changes from incomprehension and impatience at the beginning to impatience, anger and anxiety, and finally to worry.

Is Leo really sick? He can't get up so he can't open the door when she knocks?

Is he so ill that he can't stay awake or answer the phone? Claire is getting more and more anxious. If so, it's already evening. Has Leo been in a coma all day?

God! Is his life in danger?

At the thought of this, Claire can't stay in the room any longer. She runs to the front desk on the first floor and explains the situation to the receptionist incoherently.

Because she is so worried, Claire speaks quickly. "I really came with Mr. Howard! I'm not a liar, and I don't mean to embarrass you. Please open room 1348. I haven't seen him all day today. Mr. Howard may be ill in the room. Please help me! The hotel should have a registration. If you don't believe it, you can check..."

Claire is getting more and more worried. She doesn't notice at all that she is flustered at the moment. She doesn't notice that it is the first time she has been so rude in front of outsiders.

The receptionist is a little overwhelmed. After a long time she calms down. She smiles and comforts Claire. She says softly, "don't worry, Miss Bennett. We'll arrange someone to open the door for you. Just a moment, please."

She picks up the phone and makes a call.

Claire calms down a little when she hears the receptionist. After the receptionist calls, she can't wait to ask, "is it ok now?"
