Chapter 70 - No wonder you're so spoilt

Leo look into her eyes with a confused expression, not getting her point.

"Did you enjoy it? did you like how I hide and run every time he's around? you find it fun right? that's why you didn't tell me about it right?," Clara bombard him with questions.

Leo finally understood what she's talking about, "I didn't tell you because you didn't ask, and I don't think it's my fault that he got into that mode in the first place," Leo replied flatly.

If he had known that Clara was angry with him over that, he wouldn't have cared much to the extent of pleading with her to forgive him, cause he suffered at Mick's hand as well, and it was Clara who causes it. 

Clara wasn't expecting such a straight answer from him, but she thinks he is still angry that she accused him of feeding her to the mosquitoes. He must be pissed that she think of him so low, to the extent of leaving her outside in the open for them to feed on her skin.

She softened her voice, "did you know that he actually slap the back of my head? my parents never raised their hands on me till the day of their demise." she said.

Leo scoff at her words, "no wonder you are so spoilt." he said.

Clara glared at him, "you!" 

He finds her cute as she whined about how Mick hit her head, but didn't pity her because he got hit as well.

Clara felt so embarrassed and wanted to leave. Leo's right, she was thinking too important of herself. Leo is her boss anyway, so, why should she be angry that he didn't tell her what she didn't ask.

she turned around and wanted to leave, but Leo's word make her halt and look back.

"I enjoyed it Clara, I like how you make those weird faces whenever Mick footsteps was heard, how you hid behind the couch and also how you pretend falling asleep in the driver's seat whenever Mick came to inform me about something while we are about to leave for work, I find you beautiful and find your act cute." Leo said.

Clara was dumbfounded, of course she doesn't see it in a romantic way, but got infuriated instead, yet Leo was not done. She watched as he stood up and walked to stand in front of her.

"I know you wouldn't like to hear this, but can you please stop going clubbing with such exposing outfits? and if you feel like you can't stop putting on such outfit when going clubbing, can you please take me along when you are going please?" Leo spoke, looking into her eyes.

"What does that have to do with you?" Clara asked, not getting his point.

Leo's confidence was gone again, as Clara's question is hard to answer. 

Yes! what does that have to do with him? he really doesn't understand why he is saying all this, but that is how he is feeling.

He quickly cooked up an excuse, "well, my uncle has been awfully quiet since I began my plans. It is not his style to just stay mute like this, and I'm worried he's up to something, and I don't want you getting hurt." he said.

Clara sighed inwardly. Even though she has replied him with a straight face, she found his request to accompany her to the club weird, but after listening to his reply, he realised his intention. 

She won't be hunting demons again anyway, as she knew the demon she killed will definitely attract Gregory's attention. If she continues, she might be trapped.

For now, she planned on helping Leo in his plan against his uncle, then seal the bond and summon Gregory, and kill the beast once and for all. 

She looked up into his eyes, but didn't give him a rude expression this time, while Leo anticipated her reply, not understanding what's gotten over him. "thanks for your concern, but I won't be clubbing anymore unless it's related to my work for you." she said to him and head out.

Leo watch her departing figure, feeling glad that clubbing is finally ove
