Home / Chapter 273 Returning to Leo
Claire, do you think I can't find you after you run away?

Leo looks cold. He shakes the glass of red wine in his hand and drinks it up. He gets up and says to Luke, "let's get to work!"

...

After the last time Conan forced Claire, he threatens to call Leo if she doesn't go to work as long as he is free. He wants her to work for Leo's company and make up with Leo.

Claire is so upset by Conan that she doesn't even want to lie to her. She chooses to ignore him.

But after all, he is her son. Conan is smart. At last Conan threatens her, "Mommy, since you don't want to go to work, I will go to see Daddy myself. It's no use putting away your cell phone. Don't forget I have a computer!"

"..."

At last Claire is impatient. She says coldly, "Conan, shut up. I'll go out to work, but I just don't want to live in your godfather's house and spend his money. I don't want to make up with your daddy! Forget it!"

Claire finally agrees. Conan smiles smugly. "It doesn't matter as long as you are willing to work in Daddy's company."

Is Claire really going to work for Leo's company?

It is impossible.

The next day Juan learns that Claire is going to work. He says, "why do you go to work? I can support both of you. You don't have to go out to work."

Compared with this, Juan is more worried about whether Claire will go back to Leo!

Claire shakes her head and says, "I have hands and feet. I can't spend your money. Don't stop me. If I don't go out to work, Conan will keep pestering me!"

When Claire finishes, Juan gives Conan a critical look. These days, he occasionally hears Conan talk about his daddy and he keeps urging Claire to go to Leo's company.

Now Claire seems to have been convinced by Conan. He is angry. He manages to get Claire back. How can he let his previous efforts go in vain because of such a small thing?

It seems that he has to find a chance to educate Conan. Juan is upset, but he calmly stops Claire. "Don't listen to Conan. You can stay at home. If you feel bored, you can go out and play more with Conan."

"No," Claire frowns and refuses, "I have to go out to work. I am very young. I'm healthy and have hands and feet. How can I stay at home all day? I have to go out to work. Don't stop me."

More importantly, she doesn't want to stay at home and listen to Conan!

When they were in France, Juan also stopped Claire from going out to find a job. At last he chose to compromise. Claire is a stubborn woman. If you let her stay at home, it's better to kill her directly.

Juan understands Claire's nature. If they are in France, he can agree with Claire. But they are in America. What if she comes back to Leo again?

Claire is determined. Juan asks her tentatively. "Where do you go to work?"

"The original place, of course. It's a waste of time to find another job. I have to readjust..." Claire says and glances at Conan. She secretly winks at Juan and beckons him to cooperate with her.

Juan is a little angry that Claire is going back to Leo's company. When he sees her blink, he understands immediately. She wants him to cooperate with her.

Juan knows Claire has other intentions. He says, "OK. Now that you say that, I have to respect your opinion."

"..." Conan bows and takes his breakfast seriously. He feels funny.

His mommy is too stupid. She thinks he doesn't know he is pretending. Since she wants to play tricks, he will pretend, too!

Conan has a quiet breakfast. Before Claire leaves, he smiles at her and says, "Mommy, be careful on the way. I'll wait for you at home. Don't forget to tell me about Daddy. Love you!"

"Don't worry. I'll take her to the company. You stay at home. Don't run around, you know?" Juan squats down and says to Conan.

Conan nods and smiles happily.

Seeing this, Claire and Juan are relieved to go out.

In the car, Juan calmly asks Claire, "do you really want to go to Leo's company?"

His tone is bland but he is testing Claire.

Claire relaxes and leans back. She says happily, "how can I do this? I managed to leave him. I'm not going back! I can't stand Conan's nagging. I have to lie to him that I am going to work for Leo's company."

Juan chuckles. He looks at Claire in the rearview mirror and asks, "now that you've lied to Conan, what are you going to do in a moment? Where are you going?"

Claire ponders for a moment. She thought about it last night. She says seriously to Juan, "of course I have to find a job. I want to do my previous work. I said I can't spend your money. Anyway, I want to make some pocket money."

"Do you want to do advertising design?" Juan asks in disbelief.

When Juan hears Claire, he is completely relieved. As long as Claire doesn't go back to Leo's company, everything is negotiable.

Claire nods happily and says, "Yeah, that's all I can do. I don't want to be a secretary again."

She looks miserable. It seems that she suffered a lot in Leo company.

Seeing this, Juan smiles and is in a better mood. "In that case, my friend's company is looking for a designer. You can enter directly."

His friend?

Claire freezes. She quickly refuses, "that's not good..."

Juan looks at Claire in the rearview mirror and laughs, "you can do it. Don't you have confidence? What's more, don't you say it's troublesome to find a job? There's such an opportunity right now. Why don't you try it directly?"
