Chapter 89 - Do you have someone you like now?

Getting a straight refusal, Leo didn't ask further. He knew she would say the same thing, if he kept asking.

Finally, the banquet came to an end, and Leo was finally freed from all the small business owners trying to curry favour.

Clara was also glad that Sharon left before them, but as they walk down the banquet hall, Sharon showed up and nearly knocked Clara down.

She could sense the killing intent radiating from the girl's body and was about to stop her from approaching her boss like a normal bodyguard would, but before she could say anything, she was shoved aside.

Leo frowned slightly as she saw Clara being pushed, but before he could say anything as well, he was already in Sharon embrace.

She wrapped her arms around Leo's waist, and buried her head in his chest, breathing in and out on his sweet scent.

She let out a soft groan, "Leonard, I've missed you so much my love, A day does not pass by without me thinking about you. 

I want us to start over, I've been trying to see you all this while, but you've been avoiding me… blah blah…"

Clara who was being fed dog food was having a mischievous smile on her face, she let the girl succeeded in pushing her on purpose after all. That killing intent the girl had was meant for her and not Leo.

Leo look at Clara and felt unhappy, for some reason he just wish Clara would show any sign of discomfort seeing another woman hugging him, but he felt disappointed seeing that she didn't.

He even caught her smile. 

Leo pulled Sharon back from him, "let's go and have a talk Sharon." he said.

Sharon didn't want to part from his warmth yet, "Leonard," she called and quickly hugged him again, clinging onto him, not minding his resistance, "can I just stay like this for a while?" she asked, pressing her head to his chest.

Leo's expression turned to an annoyed one, "do you want to talk or I should leave?" he asked after freeing himself from her again.

Sharon gave in, as she didn't want to miss this opportunity to finally get him back, "okay, let's talk." she agreed. 

Sharon was expecting him to take her to, maybe a restaurant or somewhere good, but Leo only whispered something into Clara's ear before she start driving, while Leo and Sharon sat in the back seat.

Leo spoke up first, while Sharon's gaze was glued to this beautiful man that used to be hers, "what you are asking for is not possible Sharon, I only respect you because you did not do my uncle's bidding at the end and confessed, so let's respect ourselves and don't try to hug me again in the future." Leo said.

Sharon's expression sank, "but I can't help it, I want us back, I don't need any of your money, I only want you." she said in a sad tone.

Leo chuckled, "you never wanted my money in the first place as well. You came into my life for the fun of watching me fall for you and kill me later." he said.

Sharon's shoulders dropped, "Leo I'm…" she didn't get to finish her sentence when Leo continued. "you were neither forced  nor blackmailed by Jerry, you choose to toy with a human life just for fun." he added.

Sharon reach for his hand, "Leonard I'm sorry, I was childish then." she tried to give an excuse to justify her actions.

Leo nearly rolled his eyes, "you were 25 then, childish at twenty five? you would have killed me if you didn't later develop feelings for me, won't you?"

Clara was surprised at their conversation. She wondered if they even consider her as a human at all. Why did they have to have this type of conversation while she's  present, who cares about all their bullsh*t and whining? 

Those thoughts occupied Clara's mind, but she still maintain a professional expression and kept driving.

Sharon didn't bother to give excuses again. She knew Leo was right. When she got the offer, it sounds fun, because Leo was very handsome and coupled with her friends who gave her a go ahead push after gisting them about it, she accepted, "I regretted it Leo, so I'm begging you to give me one last chance. I will make amendment." she said. 

Leo shook his head, "it's not possible. If you really regret it, then stay out of my line of sight." he said.

Sharon's eyes widened, "I can't do that." she said as a matter of fact. 

Leo sighed in return, "suit yourself then." he said. 

Sharon's eyes suddenly darted towards the beauty driving them. Looking at her calm expression and the fact that Leo was rejecting her in the present of Clara infuriated her.

She felt like scratching Clara's face to scar her perfect face, "why is it impossible Leo? do you have someone else you like now?" she asked. 

Leo didn't bother lying, "yeah, and she is not someone who would do something crazy like you do." he said.

Sharon's gaze turned frosty, "who is she?" she asked.

"It's none of your business, we are here, you can come down now." Leo said.

Sharon was stunned by his words and look at the window, and realise they were in front of her house. She has not been paying attention to where they were going before, and she has actually left her friend at the banquet, only to be brought home instead of going to a place where she could be alone with him.

With a determined gaze, "I won't give up on you Leonard." she said.  

"You should. Don't waste your time." he replied. 

"Do you like the woman that much?" she asked.

Leo was getting impatient already, "even if I don't have someone I like, my answer will still remain the same, it was over between us two years ago and ...."

Before Leo could complete his words, Sharon lips has met his, Leo's eyes widened in surprise before he pulled her away from him. 

Clara also have an astonished look on her face, as she saw the scene in the rearview mirror. 

Sharon look intensely at his enraged expression, not minding it one bit, "don't you miss that?" she asked.

"Get. out. now!" Leo scream, sending tremors down the two woman's spine, as it caught them off guard.

Sharon stammered, but was already moving back slowly, "I...l.Leo? you don't love me anymore?" she asked. 

"I don't, so just get the hell out now!" he said.

Sharon swallowed hard on her saliva, "okay, I will leave today, but I won't give up on us, you are mine." she declared and opened the door, glanced at Clara through the mirror, but Clara look away before their gaze could lock. 

After Sharon left the car, Leo used his handkerchief to wipe Sharon's lipstick from his lips, and look at Clara for a while, as she has started driving them away from the place.

He paused his lips together, before speaking up, "I'm sorry you had to see that." Leo apologized.

"It's none of my business boss." Clara said flatly
