Leo's soft voice and affectionate eyes almost melt Claire. How can she not believe Leo?
Maybe Leo really just wants to protect the whole family. She can understand Leo's desire to protect her and Conan.
Claire nods and rests her head on Leo's chest.
"Daddy, Mommy, don't you think about your son at all?"
Conan raises his eyebrows and looks helpless.
Leo smiles and says, "you have to protect Mommy later. Since Tracy bullied Mommy, you must revenge for Mommy."
Conan and Leo have discussed it, so he immediately pats his chest and promises, "no problem. Mommy, Daddy, you don't have to do anything."
Claire knows Conan's ability. Conan has nothing to do recently. Although she doesn't want Conan to interfere in these things too early, he is not an ordinary child after all.
Since Leo agrees, she says nothing more.
"But Claire, you can't go to the design department these days, because Alyssa definitely can't be my secretary. You must be my secretary."
Leo holds Claire tight. It seems that if Claire doesn't agree with him, he won't let go.
Claire has intended to be Leo's secretary again, but because of Alyssa, she refused. Now that it happened, Claire has no reason to refuse.
"OK, I agree with you. No one but me can make the coffee you like." Claire laughs happily and doesn't look reluctant at all.
In fact, she'd love to be with Leo every day.
...
Then life becomes peaceful. Conan works at home every day. Claire and Leo go out early and come back late.
Work, love, life and family. Everything is perfect. They are more and more in love.
Claire becomes Leo's secretary again. In fact, she doesn't do what a secretary should do. Leo works and others do other things. Leo defines her basic responsibilities.
Yes, she just needs to make coffee.
So Claire is not like President Howard's secretary but his barista.
It's a dream job for many women, but Claire is not happy at all because she spends most of her time staring at Leo except making coffee.
What's more, Leo thinks it's a pleasure for Claire to look at his handsome side face like this.
This narcissistic remark makes Claire think Leo has the talent to be a real vase. She is never used to this kind of work, so Claire is very bored.
For example, Claire wants to make a cup of coffee for everyone who comes into the office. Even if he's just a passing clerk, Claire wants to pull him in and let him taste her coffee.
Claire is bored.
But it's a way of killing time. Making coffee for others can bring praise.
But after Claire does it several times, Leo stops her and gives her a new order. She can only make coffee for Leo alone. Others can only get a glass of boiled water.
"Leo, you're President Howard. You can't be so mean." Claire is so bored that she can't stand it and she protests loudly.
"I want to make coffee..."
Leo puts down his pen and pushes the papers away and smiles softly, "it's not about making coffee. You are my wife. How can you make coffee for others?"
"I'm your secretary!" Claire is so angry that her cheeks bulge. She is like an angry goldfish.
"Yes, they don't conflict," Leo says.
"You can't do that." Claire stamps and shouts. She is visibly dissatisfied.
Leo says helplessly, "I won't stop you from making coffee. But my bodyguards can't stand it. He made it clear that he doesn't want to drink your coffee again."
It turns out Claire harassed Leo's bodyguards. Because of Mrs. Howard's enthusiasm, he had four cups of coffee in a day and couldn't sleep at night.
He is a victim indeed!
"He has no taste." Claire stands on tiptoe bored.
Leo smiles and says, "well, you can make coffee. I will drink it."
Claire is like the owner of a bad coffee shop. When she sees the guests, she is warm, but she is afraid that her guests are joking. So she points to Leo's nose and says coldly, "don't regret it."
Leo says angrily, "do I have to swear?"
Claire snorts and goes to the prep room. She spends a long time making a cup of coffee and interviews Leo about how he feels after drinking it and watching him finish it.
Leo is helpless because this is his third cup of coffee today.
All in all, Claire's secretarial career is boring.
The company's employees all know that President Howard's secretary is leisurely, but no one dares to say anything, let alone despise Claire.
After all, she's President Howard's wife.
Maybe even though Claire is domineering in the company, no one dares to comment on her. Fortunately, Claire doesn't have this habit. She just wants to make more coffee.
Of course, Claire doesn't really want to be a barista, so she spends a lot of time looking through documents or news or making recommendations for Howard Group's strategic approach.
Leo just needs to be a good listener. As for whether it can be implemented...
The decision team of the company has the final say.
One day, when no one wants coffee, Claire sits on the sofa and reads the newspaper. She makes a noise on purpose. Maybe Leo, a workaholic, can talk to her a little more.
But she sees a piece of news that shocks her.
