Chapter 24 - 'Shameless'

Clara was putting on a high waist blue jeans, with a white fitted top, which was tucked in the Jean.

This outline her full shape, while her hair that was tied in a ponytail has been let loose by itself immediately she came inside Leo study. Her emerald green eyes, framed by long eyelashes,  look bright and seductive even when she didn't mean to, full lips, red as rose could make a man lose control and go for a taste. Her beauty as sharp as a blade and soft like a cello playing the most amazing sonata. The fact that Leo seems okay with such look only indicate his disinterest in women, because he doesn't seem to mind at all, but it's different in Tim's case.

Immediately he barged in; it was as if he had expected to see Clara there beforehand. He made his way to her and smiled seductively, then took her hand and planted a kiss at the back of it.

"My lady, were you startled? don't mind me please, it's the jet lag," Tim said but did not let go of Clara's hand.

Mick shook his head, 'who said nothing is going to stop him, who said his worry wouldn't be in vain, jet lag? this boy will never change.' he thought.

Leo, on the other hand, has a contented smile on his handsome face.

"If I had known a fairy will be waiting for my eyes to feast on; I would have brought a camera to capture this moment, but don't worry my fairy, my memory would treasure this moment forever. I only wish to hold you still, so you wouldn't fly away for now." Tim said as his eyes traced Clara body like he could eat her up any moment from now. 

Clara was shocked silly by Tim. She wondered if he was planning to please her with those words. She might have been pleased if Tim had stuck to his original plan and dragged Leo out, but what is this?' she thought and felt helpless, then she quickly turns toward Leo direction for help, only one word can describe Tim, 'shameless'

But reality struck her like a lightning when her gaze locked with Leo's.

Leo raised his brows at her and winked as if wishing her Good luck. 

'Wait a minute! did he just use me?' Clara thought. It all makes sense now, the sudden changes of expression when he heard Tim's voice. He had planned to use her to avoid the fight. Clara came to a realisation and smiled. 

'if you think I will let it go your ways then you must be a fool,' she thought and look at Tim. 'both of you won't get away with this.' she thought in her mind. 

"No wonder Leo's appearance irritates me Every time I looked at him, so he has such a devilish beauty around him, oh my!" Clara spoke while sizing Tim up and down seductively with her eyes, the same way he did to her.

With her ability as a copycat; she could imitate what she sees and use it back on the other party.

Tim gulped subconsciously under Clara gaze, while Leo entire face changed colour.

"Clara! you are going overboard." Leo said angrily, glaring at her.

Clara has stylishly referred him as a bastard when she said, someone knew him for what he was when Tim hasn't came in, but he let it go since he would be using her to stop Tim, but now she said he irritates her,  'what was she implying?' he thought. 

Clara understands immediately what he meant by going overboard, but decide to feign ignorance. 

"Seriously Leonard, overboard?" she said looking at Tim, who still held onto her hand, and brought Tim hand closer to her face, pressing her lips at the back of it, which makes Tim gulped the second time. He was so mesmerized by Clara that he couldn't take his eyes off her. 

"I would regret it forever if I didn't do this." Clara said as she raises her head from kissing Tim's hand. 

Leo's ears are burning red from anger. He couldn't help but think back to how Clara struggled to break free when he hugged her unintended at her place, and recall the disdain in her eyes whenever she looked at him. 

She has never seen her eyes sparkled like this since they met, 'was he really irritating?' he thought. Even though Clara's seductions were meant for Tim, he has felt his heart skips at her alluring smile.

Clara had planned to kill two birds with one stone, but she killed three instead.

Leo, who had planned to use her was burning with rage now, while Tim was given a taste of his own medicine, but he was so excited that his grip has weakened, which made Clara retracted her hand. 

Then her eyes met with Mick who was shocked silly. She now discovered the man had a large eyeball, as it seems as they were about to pop out of their sockets.

'Damn! the butler is around' she cursed in her head and quickly look away to avoid his gaze She hadn't noticed the butler earlier since Tim attacked her immediately he came in.

"I will leave you guys to your stuff then." she said and quickly left while Tim's eyes followed her as she leaves, yet his body didn't move.
