When Luke finishes, Claire smiles politely at them, even though she has known them for a long time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo nods at her. Tracy, though disdains, smiles politely at Claire in front of Leo. “Hello.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire knows what Tracy thinks. She doesn’t care about the disdain in her eyes. After greeting, she ignores them. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo is born cold. Tracy is hypocritical. Claire is indifferent. Luke can only be a peacemaker. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke says warmly to Leo, “since we meet, let’s have dinner together.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tracy wants to say no, but Leo nods and says, “OK!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“…” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
In this way, they have dinner together. Luke and Claire are sitting together. Leo and Tracy are sitting together. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Tracy tries to lean in Leo’s arms. Claire can hardly go on eating. At the same time, she is not happy. She really wants to pull Tracy away and yell at her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But she holds back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo sits down and looks at Claire. He asks Luke puzzledly, “Luke, I don’t remember you have such an old friend you haven’t seen for many years. Are you sure she’s not your old girlfriend?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I hope so.” Luke smiles regretfully and shakes his head. “It’s a pity she’s really just an old friend of mine, not my girlfriend.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is a little uncomfortable. Luke says this too vaguely. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire looks at Luke puzzled. She doesn’t know if he is pretending or serious. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire isn’t relieved until Luke looks back at her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Leo believes that they have indirectly stated their position. Leo suddenly feels a little upset. He doesn’t know why he is like this. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Is he jealous? Is he unhappy that Luke doesn’t tell him he has a girlfriend or is he envious that Luke knows such a beautiful woman? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo doesn’t know. He can’t understand what he is thinking. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
And there seems to be a voice in his head telling him that this woman is special to him. Leo thinks he’s seen this woman. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Could it be a picture? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo is lost in thought. Suddenly he has a headache. He holds his head violently and frightens three others. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ah! Leo, what’s wrong with you?” Tracy can’t help but scream. She quickly holds Leo’s body and bends down to check the condition of Leo. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke is the most nervous. He storms out of his seat and runs to Leo. He shakes his shoulder and asks worriedly, “Leo, Leo! Do you have a headache?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke can’t help blaming himself. Leo may have thought of that memory after seeing Claire. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He remembers the doctor’s warning. Leo has a blood clot in his head. Before he recovers his memory, he can’t force himself to recall what happened during that time. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Thinking of this, Luke is nervous. If something happens to Leo, it’s his fault! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
However, when everyone is worried, Leo raises his hand and shakes his head, “I’m ok. I just have a headache. I’ve been too busy with my work recently. Now I’m fine.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He says, looking up at them. He’s just a little pale. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Are you really OK?” Finally Luke asks uncertainly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’m fine.” Leo pushes Luke away and stands up to show that he’s really OK. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They are relieved. Only Luke and Claire know that Leo has a blood clot in his head. Leo doesn’t know it. Luke didn’t tell him about it to keep him from worrying. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
So Claire and Luke are relieved to learn that Leo is really OK. If anything happens to him, he will be in danger. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The dishes are soon served. Tracy dares not to lose her temper again. They have a good time at dinner. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo and Tracy never recognize the beautiful Claire as the ugly secretary. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire can’t help feeling happy after they leave. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Luke looks at her confused and asks, “Claire, what are you laughing at?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ha ha…” Claire squints and laughs in the direction of Leo. “Don’t you think he’s funny like this?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As she speaks, Claire is inexplicably upset. She has a rare chance to live in peace with him. Six years ago, there was almost no such thing. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
… <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The next day, Claire goes to work as usual. She’s still dressed ugly. So when Leo comes to the company, he is shocked to see Claire. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire looks up and sees Leo. She nods and says, “good morning, Sir.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo stops when Claire speaks. Why does he think her voice is a little familiar? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo walks slowly to Claire. He looks quietly at this ugly secretary Angie. For a moment he thinks she is like a person, but he can’t remember who she is. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo can’t help but walk up to Claire and raise her chin. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire’s chin is so smooth that Leo is surprised. His eyes brighten and he feels Claire’s chin again and again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Sir, what do you want to do?” Their posture is extremely ambiguous. Claire pushes Leo’s big hand away and looks at him incredulously. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She’s getting more and more confused about Leo. He always does something strange to her after losing his memory. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Instead of being unhappy, Leo wants to touch Claire’s face again. This time he touches Claire’s thick glasses directly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is aware of Leo’s attempt. She jumps out of the chair in fright. She backs uneasily and looks at Leo warily. “Sir! What do you want to do to me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo smiles and looks at Claire thoughtfully. “Angie, I didn’t expect your skin to be good. If you dress well, maybe you are a beauty.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
