Chapter 41 - You're lucky

Clara rolled her eyes at him, "and you Mr is the best friend a jerk like him could ever had," she said, as she felt like Tim was praising him too much, 'what innocent? what nicest?' she thought.

But talking of niceness, that seem a bit right. He is indeed nice with money, "but on second thought, would he have the money and still be alive if not for her suffering on his behalf?' she thought.

Mick footsteps was heard again, making Clara quickly close her eyes again and rested her back at the handle of the couch.

This sudden action didn't escape Tim's eyes.  He clearly admitted to himself that Clara was avoiding Mick. 

"Is miss Welch alright now?" Mick asked

"She's all good. Perfect timing, here," Tim said passing the treatment kit to him, "I'm through with this, you can return it". he added. 

Mick took it from him and left, he still doesn't understand why Leo asked him to go in and check on them.

*****

"What am I doing?" Leo questioned himself as he watch Mick went in and left

even though Tim is a woman freak, he never hurt the woman he has an interest in, he never promise them love or relationship.

He merely seduce them with his looks and money, and they both consider it as fun, none of his previous girls ever talk bad about him, they praise him instead.

And of course, not all women are the same, there are some who understand that he is only interested in their body, and they rejected him since they want love not fun.

He felt like something is pulling him to Clara, they've only met for a short while, yet it felt like they had known each other for long, and he doesn't like where this is going.

He dropped his phone and decide not to concern himself with Tim and Clara anymore, 'if Clara fall for Tim, then good luck to her.' he thought .

…..

"What's up with you and Mick?" Tim asked immediately Mick's footsteps faded. 

Clara opened her eyes when she heard Tim's question. She felt like Tim is nice to be with, and it doesn't feel like they just met a few days ago. 

The way he converse with her is as though they were friends, and she doesn't feel ashamed to speak her mind. 

"Actually,'' she said in a low and gossipy tone, "I think the man is strange." she added. 

'I agree with you on that,' Tim said in his mind, as he still holds grudges against Mick for what he went through, but no matter what he said to him later on, as soon as he is back in his butler mode, he would never get angry or show any sign of objection.

When he is in his parent mode, he would hit him for even a harmless glare, this frustrate him a lot, he has never felt this helpless with someone before.

He couldn't do anything than accept everything since he knew Mick become like that because of his fear of Leo. No one will believe the both CEO of those big enterprises were being hit like a kid.

"Strange in what ways?" he asked, while he furrowed his brow slightly, flowing with Clara gossipy act.

"Remember the last time you came here? he actually came to find me in my room and ask me to follow him, I did and....." 

She explained everything that transpired between her and Mick, but of course, she left out the part where it is related to Leo, she only tell him how he torture her and hit her head, before she finally manage to explain herself to Mick, but didn't fill him in on the content of their conversation. 

Hearing everything Clara has to say,  "you are lucky!" Tim said. 

"Lucky?" she asked,  looking confused.

"Yep" Tim replied as a matter of fact. 

"What do you mean?" Clara squinted her eyes in displeasure, no getting Tim's point.

"At least you still get to explain yourself in the end." replied Tim in a very serious and dramatic tone.
