Claire listens to the whole process and says angrily, “Leo! You are shameless!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I am shameless.” Leo confesses, “but for you I can change the company’s rules or be the enemy of other companies. I don’t care. Claire, you can’t leave me!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo’s powerful words linger in Claire’s ears. She clenches her lower lip in anger. Her heart is angry again, and she has a different mood. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire might have been moved by Leo’s words before, but now Leo is threatening her! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is shaking with rage, and her voice can’t help shouting, “Leo! Don’t go too far!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Do I go too far?” Leo’s tone is unpredictable and domineering. Leo asks, “Claire, ask yourself if I’m bad to you. Why do you always hide from me? Am I a beast that scares you so much?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
You are a beast! You’re a jerk! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire doesn’t scold him. She just hangs up. At this time, Conan comes out of the toilet. He looks at Claire and asks, “Mommy, who called you? Why are you so angry?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“A bastard!” Claire says angrily. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There is a flash of light in Conan’s eyes. There is a little smile on his lips but he doesn’t speak. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It must have been Daddy who called mom, so she is so angry. It shows that Mommy cares about him, otherwise why does Mommy have to be angry with a stranger? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As soon as Claire finishes speaking, the doorbell rings. She freezes for a moment and wonders who it is. Then she goes out of the bedroom and goes to the door. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire sees Leo out of the door through the lens! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire is startled by the sudden appearance of Leo. She hung up less than a minute ago, but Leo shows up at her door. What happened? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
According to the situation just now, he should be working in the office of the company. Why is he here! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire turns and leans against the door. She doesn’t dare to open the door for fear that Leo will drag her away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire doesn’t open the door, so Leo keeps ringing the doorbell. Finally Conan can’t help coming out and asking, “Mommy, why don’t you open the door? Isn’t someone ringing the doorbell?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire glances at Conan in alarm and says, “there is a bad guy outside. Mommy can’t open the door!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Bad guy?” Conan takes a puzzled look at Claire, but he knows that it is Daddy outside, otherwise Claire won’t be so afraid. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Thinking that Daddy is outside, Conan wants to open the door. He thinks of a way and says, “Mommy, since it’s a bad guy, let’s call the police. It’s not good to be late.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, Conan takes Claire to the bedroom. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No, we can’t call the police.” Claire calms down and swallows. She stops Conan and says, “we can’t call the police.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Conan raises his eyebrows and takes a look at the distance between him and the door. Conan suddenly runs to the door. Before Claire can respond, he opens the door. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Conan!” Claire watches in shock as Conan runs to the door and quickly opens it. She can’t stop him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Looking at Leo’s figure at the door, Claire is angry and annoyed. Conan helps him. She has to beat him and teach him a lesson! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo takes a grateful look at the little Conan. Then he stares at Claire and stands there without saying a word. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
A silent war is about to begin. Finally, Claire goes to the door and tries to close it again. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo holds Claire’s hand on the doorknob and pulls her out of the door with a little effort. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Leo, it is day. What do you want to do?” Claire turns anger into stubbornness. She stares at Leo and says defiantly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Follow me to work.” Leo takes Claire’s hand and tries to drag her to the elevator. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Thinking of Conan, Claire can’t help shouting, “Leo, are you crazy! My son is still at home!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Hearing Claire, Leo stops. He looks at Conan and Claire. At last he says seriously, “would you like to go to work with me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire thinks Leo is really crazy. He does such a thought-provoking thing to get her to work. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire can’t understand Leo’s thoughts, but now she can’t refuse Leo at all. She can’t let Leo do what he wants. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire thinks for a moment and says firmly, “I can go back to work, but you have to raise my salary by 80%, or I won’t go back!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
80%! Claire’s salary is quite good. Now her monthly income is equal to that of the owner of a small shop! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But Leo agrees without thinking. “Well, you can improve as much as you want.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He can even support her. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire didn’t expect Leo to agree easily. She wants to embarrass Leo, so she can’t help but say, “besides, I have to sleep until I wake up naturally and go to work every day. Can you agree?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
She’s totally embarrassing him. No employee dare to tell the boss about his requirements. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Leo doesn’t speak, so Claire adds, “if you agree, I’ll go back to work. If you disagree, today I’ll say on the street that the president of Howard Group forces others to work.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Claire looks determined and arrogant. She wants Leo to step back. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
However, Leo is calm. When Claire finishes, he nods and says, “OK, I agree.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“You…” This time, Claire is shocked. She makes a lot of unreasonable demands, but Leo agrees. How could Leo be so good? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
