Chapter 75 - She's my goddess

The whole hall burst into laughter once again. They look more like fans cheering for their favourite celebrity, as they keep laughing and complimenting him.

One of the reporters raise her hand, they are worried about asking the question unrelated to why they are holding the conference, cause some president of a big company like Leo seem to use their power as they like, and they might even get some certain reporter into trouble for asking them questions they shouldn't, while some will use their power to suppress their station and make them take down the news.

But the way Leo reply to them is very unlikely. They expected a rude and proud person after all and didn't expect a cheerful and carefree one.

Since they are on the topic, she decided to ask about the thing they are now so curious about.

Leo gesture for the reporter to ask her question, with a sweet smile still lingering on his thin pink lips.

It's a female reporter putting on a blue jeans and a white top, having her black hair tied in a loose bun that spoke up, "CEO Raymond, who is this beautiful lady beside you? have you been taken already?" she asked.

Leo smile at her question, as he knew it was just a tricky question to confirm who Clara is to him.

Leo raised his brow, "oh! you mean her?" he said, pointing a finger at Clara beside him as if he need affirmation.

The reporter answered yes, while proceeded to saying, "she is my goddess."

"ooooohhhhh!" the reporters exclaimed at his confession, while some quickly confirmed with their recorder man if they got that part clearly.

....

Gregory who was also sitting in his parlour, watching the news look at Clara closely immediately he heard the word 'goddess' from Leo.

He was expecting some reaction from Clara to confirm what he is guessing, but Clara did not even blink her eyes, she maintained the same expression.

But then, the sound of cup breaking was heard behind him.

Sonya who has brought some refreshments for her new boss, has her eyes glued on the television screen, standing like a statue.

Gregory eyes flashes a mischievous glint as he stood up and went toward where Sonya was standing.

Gregory look at her questioningly, "love, are you okay?" he asked.

Hearing the annoying word "love" from Gregory, Sonya returned to her senses and glare at him, before realizing that she wasn't holding a tray anymore.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry," she apologised as she saw it all scattered on the floor, the juice has spilled, while the glass cup has shattered.

"It's okay love, is she someone you know?" Gregory asked

"Who?" Sonya asked looking confused.

"That woman," he said pointing at Clara on the screen.

Of course Sonya felt something when she saw Clara, but it's seems ridiculous to her, as she didn't know her.

"The guy was my former boss," Sonya replied.

"So you dropped all this because you saw your former boss?" Gregory asked, expecting Sonya to just say something that can make him confirm if Clara is who he's thinking she is.

"Actually, this is my first time seeing him, I only know his name, so I didn't know he is this handsome," Sonya said and bit her lower lip as she stared at Leo's handsome face. At least it makes sense to admire Leo, than the weirdness she felt when she saw Clara, which is unexplainable.

…...

Back at the Hall.

Seeing their reaction to his answer, Leo smile. "you don't expect me to use the word bodyguard to address this beauty right? a goddess suits her the best." Leo said, chattering their fantasy.

'Damn you! who is your goddess," Clara curse him in her mind.

The reporters felt disappointed that it didn't go the way they want to, but still laughed at Leo's remark and all agreed that he's right. Clara is just too good to be real, yet she's right in front of them.

The interview kept going on, and they are all having a great time with Leo.

.....

Mick was seen crying as he watch the live stream

"That's my boy, that's the boy I raised," he said in the midst of tears and laughter, as he saw how Leo joked and smiled easily on screen.

This is how Leo used to be before Sharon broke his heart, he is very cheerful and took life simple.

He is happy his former Leo is back.

.....

At Tim's side, he keep smiling like an idiot, as he has forgotten about his anger a while ago.

His eyes are even off Clara as he realised his best friend is back to being himself

Even though Leo was always against his promiscuous lifestyle, they still joke about it, but ever since Sharon's betrayal, he just doesn't want a female close to him, except Ella.

...

At Jerry side.

"Begin now, and make sure you cut that bastard into pieces." Jerry informed his men through the mobile device in his hand.
