Chapter 83 - The banquet (1)

Time seems to be moving faster than usual, as it's finally the day of the banquet. After the incident, Tim did not contact Leo  and Clara like he used to.

Meanwhile, after Leo realize he managed to fall in love again, after his beliefs that no woman can ever enter his heart, he makes many attempts to make Clara understand how he feels.

But the romantically insensitive Clara did not understand all this and thought he is trying to get back at her for insulting him, so, she made sure to provoke him more with her replies, while Leo didn't know if Clara wouldn't decide to leave his house if he say it openly, so he could only resort to making slow moves.

Leo knew Tim was still angry with him, and gave him the space to calm down, so he did not contact him either.

…..

Inside a beautiful well decorated room, where people are gorgeously dressed. Most male were in suits, while the female grace the interior of the event room with their colourful attires, their bodies adorned from head to toe.

Leo was sitting down on his table, dressed in a black suit, with Mike his assistant, while Clara was standing beside him, performing her bodyguard role.

Leo was wearing a cold expression, along with his assistant. They barely blink since they arrived and hasn't taken anything. 

Clara couldn't help but admit to herself that the two are made for each other, as they look just like ice cold twins.

After a while, Tim appeared with his assistant as well, and went towards Leo's table.

Clara heart tightened as he saw Tim approaches, as she hasn't seen him for more than three weeks now, and he hasn't called to disturb her like he used to, making her assume that he was hurt with the way she treated him the last time.

She's usually a fun person and Tim hasn't done anything to make her dislike him, unlike Leo, who she didn't like, even before they met, and still met under such circumstances.

Tim smiled brightly, looking dashing and breathtaking in his grey suit. He and went over to sit with at the chair opposite Leo.

He wasn't making jokes like he used to, but still has his usual killer smile, that could make a girl lose their mind.

Clara look at him and felt that he his angry as well. Just like Gregory who could detect a human feeling, she could also felt people's intentions and feelings, except Leo's of course.

She kind of missed Tim's disturbance, she find Tim sweet to be with. 

Leo's cold expression softened as he look at Tim who was smiling. He could detect that he's very angry underneath that smile. 

The reporters who had sneaked in as a guest to check out Leo once more was finding it hard to believe that Leo was the same guy they interviewed the last time, and wondered who this new guy who appeared and make him soften his expression was. 

They came there in disguise, and hoped to see the playful him, but all they are seeing is a dude that seems to be as cold as ice.

At a corner in the hall, Angela and Sharon were staring at Leo's table as well. Sharon has not taken her eyes off Leo since he arrived.

She has gotten to the venue earlier to wait for him, but since he came in, she has been kind of feeling uncomfortable with Clara being with him

Clara's beauty has always been a threat to women who was around her with their man beside them, and Sharon is not an exception. She has started loathing Clara since Leo address her as his goddess.

She believe the camera highlights makes Clara look so stunning on television, but now looking at her so nearby and even more beautiful than on screen, she felt some sense of insecurity with a woman like that beside her man.

Clara has been sensing her disdain stare as well, and have even made eye contact with her twice.

Angela spoke up, "oh my goodness! who is that hottie! I'm so glad I followed you here today." she said.

Sharon look at her friend from up to toe and smiled as if it's the first time they are meeting, "this should do. You just make sure you walk in front of him and possibly smile at him, that's all." Sharon said.

Angela raised her brow, "you mean…" she stressed the word with a knowing smirk.

Sharon smile in return, "yep! one of the best playboy there is." she said. She was dressed gorgeously, with her well straightened with slight curls at the tip.
