"How could this be..."
Fiona is completely stunned by Leo's words. She is a woman of self-respect. She won't allow her to be so embarrassed, let alone her high self-esteem.
Countless thoughts are spinning in Fiona's mind. In the end, Fiona looks pitifully at Leo but is a little firm and indifferent. She wants to make one last effort. "You can't do that to me. We have cooperative projects. If you refuse me, I can persuade my father to give up working with you. In this way, you will lose a lot of money."
Fiona's real face is revealed, but she doesn't care. For this relationship, she is not afraid to threaten Leo with cooperative projects.
Hearing this, Leo squints and says coldly, "Miss Thomas, don't worry. I signed a contract with your father last night. I'm sure he won't be willing to pay high liquidated damages."
"And your father knows about my family. I told him about my feelings for Miss Thomas and he was very understanding. In order to get along with each other peacefully, I advise Miss Thomas not to be so stubborn."
"How could this be..." Fiona is desperate. Her straight waist can't hold up. She looks at the ground dully and can't believe it.
Fiona's appearance suddenly hurts Claire. She seems to see herself six years ago. At that time, she took everything for granted like her. But a lot of things happened that she didn't expect. She couldn't accept the end.
She pulls Leo's arm behind his back and tells him to stop talking.
Leo feels the swing of his clothes. He glances sideways at Claire. He knows it is time for the farce to come to an end.
Leo takes Claire's hand and says coldly to Fiona, "I've made it clear. Miss Thomas, please stop pestering me. I hope you can find your happiness soon. Goodbye."
With that, Leo pulls Claire into the room. He closes the door without looking back and leaves Fiona outside.
Leo is determined, but Claire recognizes his cruelty. She knows Leo will not be so nice to a woman for no reason. He has seen many women of good figure. He won't like a woman he just met.
Claire thinks of herself again. Fiona's tragedy happens in front of her. Maybe Leo frames her in his heart, so he treats her so well.
This deep cognition makes Claire feel cold in her heart. She should be awake. She can't continue to be cheated by Leo. She may return to the tragedy of six years ago!
Thinking about it, Claire throws Leo's hand away. She sneers at him. "I didn't expect you to be so cruel. You abandoned such a good woman. At least she really likes you."
Hearing this, Leo takes a look at Claire. He doesn't care about her indifference and goes straight to the sofa. He says lightly, "so what? I don't like her. If I am responsible for every woman in the world who likes me, I will have many women in my family now."
Leo is right, but he is cold. Claire keeps a distance from him. She looks at him indifferently and asks, "in that case, why do you give her hope? Why are you so nice to her? Don't you know it's a fatal temptation for any woman? Since you don't like her, you shouldn't give her such an illusion."
"I give her hope?" Leo sneers. He laughs. "I thought she was a smart woman and understood that I was just playing with her. I didn't expect her to take it seriously. It's not fun."
Leo's words make Claire cold. It turns out that he is just playing with a woman, so he is so nice to her. He just wants to have fun.
What about her? Is Claire such a woman in his eyes?
Claire feels extremely cold all over. It takes a lot of effort for her to force herself to say, "Leo, I see you completely. You're a total jerk. You don't deserve to be liked!"
Claire's words stun Leo. He doesn't understand why Claire is so angry all of a sudden. He thinks about what he just said and suddenly laughs. He looks at Claire teasingly and asks, "are you serious? Didn't you say you don't like me?"
In fact, he just wants to flirt with Claire. He wants her to admit that she likes him. He doesn't look down on her.
But Claire thinks Leo is frivolous. Her heart is completely cold. She was just wondering if Leo would do the same to her, but now Leo himself admits it.
Leo means that he also treats her as a plaything. He asks her now if she is serious!
Good! It turns out Leo is teasing her all the time! She thought Leo was better after losing his memory!
Now it seems that she is blind! She shouldn't believe him!
Claire shivers with anger. She points to the door and almost yells, "Leo! get out of here! I don't want to see you again!"
Leo really doesn't understand what Claire is thinking this time. His face is not very good either.
Leo stands up and walks up to Claire. He looks down at her and asks, "Claire, why are you so angry? How I deal with Fiona is my business. Since you don't like me, why are you so angry?"
Claire stares at Leo. Her eyes are reddish with anger. How dare this bastard blame her so bluntly!
