Chapter 88 - Not Interested

Tim, who had stylishly pulled Clara back to sit down spoke again, "to who? we are only four on this table, so who are you worried about thinking of you as a bad guy?" he asked.

Leo: "...." 

Tim was right after all, no one else is listening to their conversation, since they weren't speaking loudly and the tables weren't too close. People were just staring at them with different thoughts in their head. 

Some weren't surprised by Tim pulling Clara to sit with him, as he is known to have a soft spot for ladies after all, and moreover who wouldn't want to conquer such flawless beauty like Clara.

Tim spoke again, since Leo didn't have an answer to the first question,"or could it be that you are bent now?" he asked.

"You!" Leo glared at him.

Tim ignored his glaring and look towards his assistant, "Finn, you had better be careful around him. Ella has to hear about this though, my friend is bent, no wonder those ladies didn't move him." he said.

"Stop spouting nonsense." Leo said.

Clara spoil the fun by asking a question. She wondered what the meaning of bent was, for Leo to look so mad, making Tim enjoy it and teasing him more.

"What does bent mean?" she asked.

"He's into man now," Tim said, before looking at Clara, "wait! are you from this universe?" he asked. 

Clara smiled, "of course I am." she replied.

Tim smirked at her seductively, "then, why did you look this cute?" he asked. 

Clara giggled, "I guess it's because you need someone to call your fairy." Clara played along 

Leo: "..." 

"That's my girl." Tim chuckled.

Leo's entire face was now turning red. It's taking him every resistance in his body, to not stand up and pulled Clara to come beside him, "she is still sitting down." he reminded them.

Tim and Clara has been tricking him all these while. Tim wouldn't make his friend lose face by insisting that Clara shouldn't stand up, so he held Clara back on her seat and started teasing Leo, which he fell for, and Clara played along, as she wouldn't miss out anything that involves bullying Leo anyway.

Tim look at Clara, who had now stood up, "did you enjoy the break?" he asked. 

Clara smiled, "more than you can imagine." she said. At least she's free from Sharon's death stare for a while.

Tim also got on his feet, "that's cool. I will like to take my leave now, will call you later." they both make 'call you' signal playfully, while Tim raised his brow at Leo then winked before leaving with Finn his assistant.

…...

Mike drove Alex to Jerry's house after getting him some treatment.

If Leo could see his personal assistant now, he might not believe it's him, as he has two guns at the back of his trousers, just because he wanted to deliver Alex. 

Jimmy and some boys came out to meet him. They were at alert, but Mike just look calm and passed Alex to Jimmy.

Jimmy took the still unconscious Alex from him and placed him on his shoulder.

"He needs rest, and shouldn't talk too much for a while or he might lose his voice permanently." Mike said.

After informing them about the doctor's warning, he passed them the drugs and left.

They all look at his departing back and was dumbfounded by his courage. He came into the enemy's den and walk out unscathed. 

When Jerry saw his unconscious son, he didn't even pity him much, and call him useless, as appearing like this only indicated his failure.

Only Jimmy felt bad for the boy, and took care of him. It's more of the reason why Jerry's treatment did not really mean anything to him, since he treated his own son worse than he is treating him anyway.

.....

Back at the banquet….

Ever since Tim left, Leo has been gulping, and rubbing his palms together under the table. Finally he couldn't take it anymore.

He cleared his throat, "hmm hmm, hum Clara?" he called.

Clara creased her brow. Her head screaming, 'what did he want now!'

"Sir?" she replied like a filial worker.

Leo ended up stammering, "you .. you want to take a rest for a while? you can sit down now." he said.

Clara remained indifferent, "I will pass. thanks boss." she replied.

Leo isn't used to all these at all. He barely do anything when he's dating Sharon. No stress at all, "hum please?" he pleaded.

"Not interested." Clara replied flatly.
