After the kiss, Claire wakes up from a dream. When she sees Leo's face in front of her, she is shocked and subconsciously wants to hide. Leo reaches out and holds the back of her head and deepens the kiss.
Claire just wakes up and is still in a daze. Her body unconsciously matches Leo's rhythm.
The kiss is getting hotter and hotter. Fortunately, Leo restrains. He realizes that they are in the company so he stops. He taps Claire on the cheek and whispers, "let's go home."
Claire is fully awake at this time. She feels where Leo has just tapped her. She thinks she is too careless. She fell asleep.
Otherwise, Leo won't have a chance. They're in the company!
Claire looks at the time and finds that it is over eleven in the evening. She breathes a sigh of relief. It's so late that no one will see them.
Although Claire's apartment is close to the company, Leo insists on driving her home. Claire thinks it is so late that she is not safe on her own, so she doesn't refuse.
When Leo sends her downstairs, he gets out of the car. Claire sees Leo's action and is startled.
"President, why do you get off the car? Don't you go home?"
Leo glances at her and says lightly, "I'll stay at your house tonight."
With that, he walks into the building.
"No, wait!" Claire quickly pulls Leo. She says anxiously, "president, it's not good. Who are you? Why do you live with me!"
Hearing Claire's words, Leo turns to look at her and asks, "who am I?"
"Ah, no..." Claire realizes that she has said the wrong thing. She is just flustered to stop Leo, so she says what she thinks. She calms down and says seriously, "a man and a woman are not suitable to live together. President, go home. You can drive anyway. It's convenient."
"It doesn't matter. We don't live in the same room." Leo doesn't care.
So that's the problem!
Claire is upset. She doesn't want to have this kind of relationship with Leo. Sooner or later, Tracy will find out.
But now she can't find a good excuse to convince Leo.
Claire doesn't speak so Leo says, "I've been busy all day today so I don't want to drive home. Anyway, your house is close to the company. I'll go straight to the company tomorrow."
There is a trace of weariness in his voice. Claire looks at Leo's face in the light. She finds his handsome face a little tired, so she can't refuse.
Claire hesitates for a moment and makes the biggest concession. "OK, but this time you can only sleep on the sofa. You can't sleep in my bed!"
"The sofa is hard..." Leo frowns and wants to refuse, but Claire interrupts him.
"If you don't agree, I won't let you in!"
"... All right."
Leo follows Claire. No sooner have they entered the room than Leo says he is hungry.
Claire thinks they haven't eaten since lunch. After Leo finishes, she is hungry too, so she goes to the kitchen and cooks noodles. They have a midnight snack.
Leo smiles contentedly in his heart as he eats.
The biggest reason he stays here tonight is that he wants to be with Claire. This house is small but it feels like home. Claire cooks and they eat quietly. This feeling of company makes him attached.
If he can, he really wants to spend his life with Claire.
But Claire doesn't think so. She just wants to find her son and end their strange relationship as soon as possible.
After eating, Claire takes a bath and quickly goes back to her room and locks the door to prevent Leo from coming in.
Leo takes a bath and tries to open Claire's door. He finds the door locked by her. Leo smiles helplessly and goes to sleep on the sofa all night.
The next morning, Claire is woken up by the doorbell. As she passes the living room, she takes a look at Leo who is still sleeping. She walks quickly and pats him and says, "get up quickly. It's almost time to go to work."
With that, Claire goes to open the door.
Claire thinks that only the housekeeper of the apartment or the aunt living opposite will knock on her door so early. She thinks she just needs to stand at the door and talk. But Claire didn't expect it to be Kate!
"Kate, why are you here?"
Claire opens the door and looks out in shock.
"Why can't I come?" Kate says discontentedly. She reaches out and opens the door and walks in the house. "I spent the night with my friend at KTV last night and fell asleep accidentally. I was kicked out this morning. You live nearby, so I..."
"Fuck! Why is Leo here? Claire! What's the matter!"
Kate walks into the house and tells Claire about her experience yesterday. But before she finishes, she sees an unexpected person in Claire's house. She subconsciously swears and angrily asks Claire.
But Claire is completely stunned. Kate has entered the house before she stops her. Claire is completely flustered. She looks at Kate coming in and at Leo, who is just getting up in a lazy posture. She is very anxious.
Leo is her boss and Kate has been her best friend for many years. What's more, they are enemies. Claire feels that she can't explain.
"Kate... I..." Claire wants to find an excuse to cheat Kate. Before she finishes, Kate interrupts her.
"Claire, you don't have to say it!" Kate waves and signals Claire to shut up. She strides to Leo and looks down at Leo, who is lying lazily on the sofa. She accuses him, "Leo! Did you force Claire to do something she shouldn't?"
