“199 dollars?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes, miss!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire looks at the man in surprise and takes back a dollar coin. Leo, you bastard. She thinks there will be a lot of money left, but now there is only one dollar left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire calms down after the man leaves. She turns and picks up the box and goes into the office to deliver lunch to Leo. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire sets the meals on the table in the living room. She understands why the lunch is worth two hundred dollars. It looks delicate and delicious. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo walks over and sits down. He takes a look at Claire and thinks of something. He asks lightly, “what do you have for lunch?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The money he gave Claire just now can only buy one person’s meal. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She has only one dollar! She can’t even afford a hamburger! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire shrugs. “I don’t like to eat at noon. I can eat fruit later.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You don’t like eating?” Leo frowns. “People should eat on time. Health is important. You’re ugly so you don’t need to keep fit!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is enraged instantly. Damn man. Is she ugly? Fortunately, she deliberately defaces herself, or she will die of anger! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President, eat it.” Claire says helplessly. She wants to strangle him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, Claire is ready to leave. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But just then, Leo suddenly stands up. He says coldly, “don’t leave. Eat up the food. If you can’t finish it, don’t leave this office!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire looks at the food on the table in shock. What did Leo just say? He lets her have lunch? What does he eat? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No. I can’t eat it.” Claire is a little surprised by Leo’s sudden behavior. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What does Leo want to do? Why does he suddenly treat her so well? What is his purpose? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire’s subconscious escape discontents Leo. She seems to touch some of his bottom lines. He suddenly takes Claire’s arm and presses her to the chair. He orders her, “eat it! If you can’t finish it, you don’t have to come to work tomorrow!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is stunned by Leo’s sudden behavior. His disposition has not changed. He’s still irritable! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire wants to say something, but Leo immediately says, “shut up. Eat it!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is helpless but Leo is watching her so she has to eat. She has to pick up the bowl and lower her head for lunch. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo suddenly calms down when she bows her head to eat. When he sees that she wants to leave, he suddenly wants to lose his temper. He can’t help trying to force her and keep her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The atmosphere is awkward, so Claire says cautiously, “president, you can eat it, too. I can’t eat all by myself.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No. I don’t want to!” Leo turns back to his desk and sits down. He is also a little surprised at what he has just done. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire looks at Leo. He begins to work. She doesn’t want to eat lunch any more. Her boss is working but she is eating as an employee. This is unreasonable! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire eats quickly and cleans the table. She leaves Leo’s office. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire goes back to her front desk. Leo’s sudden concern, rage and compulsion are really strange! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He has changed a lot in these six years, but… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Forget it! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire sits quietly for a while. She thinks Leo doesn’t have lunch and is still working. He must be hungry. So she goes downstairs and goes to a nearby bank to get money. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Then Claire buys some bread at a nearby store. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is back on the 28th floor. She goes to the door of Leo’s office and knocks gently. After Leo responds, Claire walks in with a plastic bag. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire goes to his desk alone and puts the bag on it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo is surprised and raises his eyebrows. “What is this?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Bread!” Claire says softly. She is afraid that Leo isn’t happy, so she says, “you just said that health is very important. People can’t live without food. I’m afraid you’re hungry, so I bought you some bread!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo is a little surprised and smiles. The new secretary is not obedient. She dares to contradict him with what he said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Well, I see!” Leo takes the bread out of the bag and bites it. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is relieved. She breathes a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he doesn’t refuse! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She feels something is wrong. She just comes to give him something to eat out of kindness. She doesn’t care whether he eats or not. Why is she nervous? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire takes another look at Leo. This man is as handsome as her son when he eats! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire freezes at the thought of her son. She says casually, “president, the former secretary told me this morning that a boy who claimed to be your son came to the company the other day. Is this true?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo pauses and frowns. He says displeased, “the subordinates have no right to ask about the boss’s affairs” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I…” Claire is depressed. “I’m just curious. I heard his eyes are very similar to yours.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire asks carefully. She is afraid that Leo will find something, but she can’t help wanting to know about her son. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo is bored. He yells at Claire, “that’s not what you should know. Get out of here!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” Claire is speechless and has to shut up and leave. She decides to look for opportunities later. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Leo, give me my son back! <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
