Chapter 63 - I want to come in

"You took silver spark? Leo asked in surprise, as he recognised the sweet smell of silver spark.

It's a very expensive wine. A shot of it could get one intoxicated. And also, it's a very good wine, because no matter how one gets drunk on it, their breath will never stink, instead it brings out a fruity scent, based on the flavour one took. 

Tim usually brought the wine over to his office when he felt like disturbing him, because he never count a visit that is about showing off new woman he just hooked up with, as a visit. It's more like a disturbance, but he still had to accept all the disturbance either he likes it or not.

"Yes." Clara replied. 

Leo look astonished, "you are a very strong woman." he said.

"Is that supposed to be a compliment?" Clara asked.

He and Tim usually share a bottle of silver spark. Even though they could handle alcohol well, they wouldn't dare take more than that, so he believed Clara must have taken close to half a bottle of it as well, not knowing he might go into a faint state if he knew the exact amount she took.

Leo spoke again, "you are very strong to have taken silver spark and still knew your way home, and I'm sure you took quite a bit of it."

Clara laughed out loud, "a bit? haha, I actually took more than a bit." she said.

"Did you take up to half bottle?" Leo asked.

"I took 11 bottles." Clara replied. 

Leo chuckled, "the joke is not funny." he said.

"What joke? I'm telling the truth."

They kept having small talks till Clara stop replying to him. That's when he discovered she has fallen asleep. 

...

At Sonya's apartment, she stood behind the door with a wooden plank in her hand, with a frightened expression, "what do you want?" she asked the man in front of her door.

Immediately Gregory took care of the corpse, he went straight to Sonya's house. Getting there, he knocked at her door.

Immediately Sonya opened the door and saw who it was, she slammed the door shut, not letting him in.

What could a grown up man be doing at a single lady's house in the middle of the night, a good looking and a murderer at that.

But instead of leaving or saying something, he just stood there at her door front like a statue.

Hearing Sonya's question, he smiled, "I want to come in," he said.

Sonya gripped the plank firmly, "what if I say no?" she asked.

Gregory smirk, "then I will stay here till you say yes." he said flatly.

Sonya sneered at his reply, "that's not gonna happen." she said flatly.

Gregory smile deepened, "we will see about that."

Gregory could enter if he wants to, but his plans for Sonya does not allow him to act rashly, as he plans on taking Sonya with him to his place anyway.

.....

Leo finally arrived at his residence entrance with the sleeping Clara on his back.

Clara was muttering behind, "hot, so hot, turn on the air condition camel."

Leo did not know whether to laugh or cry, it's funny but, he was actually being called a camel right now.

Mick saw Leo appeared with Clara on his back. He was shocked at first, but he isn't that dumb not to have seen how much Leo seem to care about the girl.

Instead of walking to him, he headed back to his quarters, not wanting to disturb them.

Leo walk toward Clara's apartment, as Clara was struggling to pull the cardigan off herself, without even opening her eyes.

The walking to her private quarters isn't a joke at all. Even though it's the same compound, they could stay a month and avoid seeing each other if they wish to.

The mansion is very wide and spacious, and Leo usually took the gate that connected to his garage when going out, the second gate was only taken, when he is going out on foot, which he rarely did.

He went inside Clara's room and drop her on her bed, then help her pull off the cardigan, she's been struggling with all along.

After helping her remove her shoes, and place her in a comfortable position on the bed, he looked at her and smiled to himself.

He couldn't understand himself anymore, he's not a cruel man, but he is not this nice either. He would rather ignore than argue, keep quiet than curse. He never step out of line or go this length for people, especially women, not after Sharon betrayal.

As he stood up to leave, he felt Clara's hand grab his.
