With that, Claire walks to the door. Before she opens the door, Leo looks up and sneers, "do you forget the contract you just signed?"
"Contract?" Claire stops. She turns around in confusion and tells Leo what she thinks, "the contract just says I can't leave you. It doesn't limit where I go."
"You can't leave me." Leo props his hands on the desk. He squints and looks at Claire. "Aren't you just leaving me now? Do you want to default?"
Claire is shocked to hear Leo. Does Leo mean she has to stay with him all the time and can't go anywhere? Even if she leaves for a while, she is breaking the contract?
She has no freedom at all!
Claire understands Leo. She looks at him in shock and says angrily, "you are too domineering. Can't I go to work?"
"Why do you go to work? Have I allowed you to resign?" Leo's face is cold. He stands up and says angrily, "you left without permission, but I didn't blame you. How dare you resist me? How dare you go to work in another company? Claire, you're too bold!"
"I... I..." Claire is speechless. Claire stares at Leo and says angrily, "you're wrong, too. Would I have escaped if you hadn't always done something strange to me?"
When Claire finishes, Leo doesn't care. "Since you care so much, why don't you answer my request earlier? No matter how you struggle, I won't change my mind."
Claire stares at him and says angrily, "Leo, I'm a person, not your pet! Don't you feel ashamed to force me to stay with you?"
"So what?" Leo raises his eyebrows disdainfully. "As long as you are willing to be with me, there won't be so much trouble. Claire, why are you adamantly refusing me? Am I not good enough? Not rich enough? Not handsome enough?"
He is so narcissistic!
Claire feels scornful in her heart. Claire is not afraid to fight him. Anyway, her plan is to disgust Leo.
Claire raises her chin and says firmly, "you're right. In my eyes, you are not good enough, not rich enough, not handsome enough! So I advise you to give up. I won't like you in my whole life!"
Claire's words make Leo laugh. He sneers. "Claire, don't be too complacent. If one day you like me but I break up with you, you will cry."
"I won't cry for you bastard!" Claire quickly retorts.
Leo chuckles scornfully. When Claire finishes, he sits back and looks coldly at the computer.
He seems to want to ignore Claire. He has absolute confidence in himself. He can make Claire fall in love with him.
In fact, he is so attached to Claire because he is angry. He has always been coddled and pursued. But no matter how hard he tries, Claire is indifferent, which deeply stimulates Leo's self-esteem.
Leo can't stand the frustration of being ignored by women. Leo decides to let Claire fall in love with him and cry for him!
Claire doesn't know what Leo thinks. She opens the door angrily, but she finds that the two bodyguards are still standing there straight. When Claire opens the door, they are facing Claire and blocking her.
Seeing this, Claire angrily closes the door again. She glares at Leo, who sits in front of the computer and is cold, and says angrily, "Leo, I'm going to the bathroom!"
Leo points in the direction of the lounge and casually says, "the toilet is inside. You can go in."
Claire stares at Leo and walks reluctantly toward the lounge.
Claire goes into the bathroom. She washes her face first and hints that she has to calm down. She can't let Leo control her!
Claire gradually calms down. She takes out her cell phone and calls her boss. She tells him what happened.
The boss answers the phone soon. Claire immediately says, "boss, I get that collaboration. And I'm going to quit."
"What?" The boss seems to have been hit hard. He growls incredulously, "you are going to quit?"
Claire takes the phone away and goes on, "yes. I'm going to resign for some special reasons. Thank you very much for your care and tolerance. Thank you."
"No..." The boss can't accept the fact for a moment. He stammers, "why do you quit? Now we have this cooperation and I want to give you a promotion. Why do you suddenly quit?"
"I'm sorry," Claire says, lowering her head. "I know it's too sudden, but I'm helpless. Sorry, boss. I'll send the resignation letter to the company some other day. I'll see you later."
"No... Claire..." The boss wants to say something more, but Claire hangs up.
Claire leans against the wall in dismay. She feels reluctant and embarrassed. If Leo is not domineering, she can happily do the work she likes instead of being imprisoned like a prisoner.
When can she break up with Leo completely?
