How can she not believe Leo?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Maybe Leo really just wants to protect the whole family. She can understand Leo&#8217;s desire to protect her and Conan.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire nods and rests her head on Leo&#8217;s chest.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Daddy, Mommy, don&#8217;t you think about your son at all?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Conan raises his eyebrows and looks helpless.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo smiles and says, &#8220;you have to protect Mommy later. Since Tracy bullied Mommy, you must revenge for Mommy.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Conan and Leo have discussed it, so he immediately pats his chest and promises, &#8220;no problem. Mommy, Daddy, you don&#8217;t have to do anything.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire knows Conan&#8217;s ability. Conan has nothing to do recently. Although she doesn&#8217;t want Conan to interfere in these things too early, he is not an ordinary child after all.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Since Leo agrees, she says nothing more.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;But Claire, you can&#8217;t go to the design department these days, because Alyssa definitely can&#8217;t be my secretary. You must be my secretary.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo holds Claire tight. It seems that if Claire doesn&#8217;t agree with him, he won&#8217;t let go.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire has intended to be Leo&#8217;s secretary again, but because of Alyssa, she refused. Now that it happened, Claire has no reason to refuse.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;OK, I agree with you. No one but me can make the coffee you like.&#8221; Claire laughs happily and doesn&#8217;t look reluctant at all.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   In fact, she&#8217;d love to be with Leo every day.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8230;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Then life becomes peaceful. Conan works at home every day. Claire and Leo go out early and come back late.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Work, love, life and family. Everything is perfect. They are more and more in love.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire becomes Leo&#8217;s secretary again. In fact, she doesn&#8217;t do what a secretary should do. Leo works and others do other things. Leo defines her basic responsibilities.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Yes, she just needs to make coffee.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   So Claire is not like President Howard&#8217;s secretary but his barista.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It&#8217;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.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   What&#8217;s more, Leo thinks it&#8217;s a pleasure for Claire to look at his handsome side face like this.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   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.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   For example, Claire wants to make a cup of coffee for everyone who comes into the office. Even if he&#8217;s just a passing clerk, Claire wants to pull him in and let him taste her coffee.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Claire is bored.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But it&#8217;s a way of killing time. Making coffee for others can bring praise.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   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.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Leo, you&#8217;re President Howard. You can&#8217;t be so mean.&#8221; Claire is so bored that she can&#8217;t stand it and she protests loudly.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I want to make coffee&#8230;&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo puts down his pen and pushes the papers away and smiles softly, &#8220;it&#8217;s not about making coffee. You are my wife. How can you make coffee for others?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I&#8217;m your secretary!&#8221; Claire is so angry that her cheeks bulge. She is like an angry goldfish.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Yes, they don&#8217;t conflict,&#8221; Leo says.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;You can&#8217;t do that.&#8221; Claire stamps and shouts. She is visibly dissatisfied.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo says helplessly, &#8220;I won&#8217;t stop you from making coffee. But my bodyguards can&#8217;t stand it. He made it clear that he doesn&#8217;t want to drink your coffee again.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It turns out Claire harassed Leo&#8217;s bodyguards. Because of Mrs. Howard&#8217;s enthusiasm, he had four cups of coffee in a day and couldn&#8217;t sleep at night.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He is a victim indeed!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;He has no taste.&#8221; Claire stands on tiptoe bored.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo smiles and says, &#8220;well, you can make coffee. I will drink it.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   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&#8217;s nose and says coldly, &#8220;don&#8217;t regret it.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo says angrily, &#8220;do I have to swear?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   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.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo is helpless because this is his third cup of coffee today.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   All in all, Claire&#8217;s secretarial career is boring.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The company&#8217;s employees all know that President Howard&#8217;s secretary is leisurely, but no one dares to say anything, let alone despise Claire.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   After all, she&#8217;s President Howard&#8217;s wife.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Maybe even though Claire is domineering in the company, no one dares to comment on her. Fortunately, Claire doesn&#8217;t have this habit. She just wants to make more coffee.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Of course, Claire doesn&#8217;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&#8217;s strategic approach.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Leo just needs to be a good listener. As for whether it can be implemented&#8230;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The decision team of the company has the final say.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   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.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But she sees a piece of news that shocks her.   <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leo&#8217;s soft voice and affectionate eyes almost melt Claire.
