Chapter 102 - I'm scared Clara

'So cute! look how she look so alluring, despite fuming with rage'

Leo nearly gave himself out, as a smile crept it's way to his lips, but Clara somehow averted her gaze and shut her eyes in frustration. 

He couldn't believe his luck. He quickly composed himself, before she could flare up, as she's about to do right now. 

"You!" she pointed her second finger at him, her chest heaving. 

'Good lord! If I'm not well built, I think this woman will beat me.' Leo said in his head, watching how she began stammering. 

"Y….you're showing off, aren't you?" she asked, her step getting closer to were he sat. 

Even though Leo doubt if she will hit him, he has prepared himself to duck any incoming, because she look like she will hit him. 

"Show off?" Leo asked, squinting his brow in pretense. 

Taking a deep breath, 'Clara control yourself.' she told herself, as she heard the sky rumble. 

Leo was flabbergasted, 'what the heck! Is she that angry?' he thought, because he thought she was controlling the sky, since she stare at it. 

Perhaps she wanted to hit him with lightening? 

He had no idea that it's happening because she's loosing control of her emotions. 

"What do you want?" Clara asked, her facial expression taking a 90 degree turn. 

Leo knew if she's the one feeding him, she will make sure he starve for a whole month, but thankfully she's not haha. 

"From tomorrow, you will take your job seriously." Leo said, since she has moved closer already. 

"What do you mean?" she asked, holding the urge to flare up again. She just can't stand him. 

Leo took a dramatic sigh, before his expression turn to that of a scared little baby, "I'm scared Clara." he said. 

'Scared? why is he scared?' Clara asked in her head, which somehow makes her anger subsidies. 

As long as it's about his safety, she had no choice. 

Leo was surprised when she took her seat beside him and turn to face him, "did you detect something odd?" she asked, wondering if Gregory has detect his identity and is after him. 

That's possible, since someone is tailing her as well. 

'oh my! I detect a weakness.' Leo rejoiced in his head. He would never believe that she will be so easy to tame and trick. 

One thing is sure, this woman is still naive, or perhaps, there's a reason she took him seriously. 

'Could she possibly like me and was playing hard to get?' he thought. 

Seeing her getting impatient, he shook his head, "I think my uncle is planning something. I need you now, more than ever." he said. 

Clara didn't wonder how their arrogant discussion, suddenly turn like this, but she didn't want him to die. 

"He threatened you?" she asked. 

"I think he will make a move soon and I  want to be ready for him. From tomorrow onward, you will be with me till I retire home from office." he said, still maintaining his innocent expression. 

Clara stare at him with a suspicious gaze, but he didn't flinch. She almost find him cute, as her eyes subconsciously traces his full brow and long lashes, that's almost as long as her own. 

'Is she checking me out?' Leo wondered, as her eyes is lingering longer than usual. Her annoyed expression is no where to be found, while her worried expression after hearing that he's scared has relaxed. 

It's as if she's imprinting what she's seeing, in her memory. 

Clara stared at his stretched lips and down to his strong jaw, before returning her gaze to his well chiseled nose, as if she forgot to check it, before moving to his lips. 

Leo hold the urge to gulp, as that might alert her, but his face turning to a new shade ruin the moment, as Clara suddenly look away. 

'I can't believe he's handsome too. Such a waste.' Clara didn't know if she think about that, or it popped up by itself. 

"Tsk Tsk." that was meant for her head, but it came out loud. 

Finally swallowing the saliva that has build up, Leo see her 90 degree changes in expression again, which shattered his fantasy, on how she might actually like him.

This is actually fun. She didn't call him pathetic now, right? It seems some women just want it the hard way.

When she was feared and respected, she find him pathetic, but now that he's being authoritative, she actually show sign that she's in front of a man. 

The thought of being stuck with him, till he finish work felt like a nightmare to Clara. Aside that she just discovered that, while Tim have the look that will instantly make a woman blush or smile, when nothing is funny, Leo's look is the type that you just won't be able to get out of your head. 

She's immune to him, but something tells her that, if a woman saw him, her head will imagine naughty thoughts towards him.

The kind of thought like, 'I should have tripped and make him hold me and be able to feel his body, or how nice it will feel like to have a boyfriend like him and show off… .'

'Where are those coming from?' Clara can't believe she's thinking like this, over this hateful man. 

Watching how she's dazing out and displaying lots of facial expression to him, Leo has even forgot he's feigning a pitiful face. 

He mentally smiled. 

Did she know she's cute? I bet she will stop talking to me while facing me, if she knew how cute she look, when battling her thoughts.

Leo chuckled and saw her suddenly sprung up. She felt like she's getting infected by sitting close to him.

"You promised my freedom." Clara spoke. 

"I did. You can have it after I'm back from work." He said. 

Even though she didn't like the idea one bit, she doesn't have anything she's doing anyway. If not for the fact that she couldn't tolerate him for long, she will be glad that she's being assigned something to do. 

But at the end, worry won over arrogant. If he died, then it's over. She will just have to make sure to act like a statue till he's done from work. 

She mentally assured herself that she can do it. He should be glad she didn't intend on provoking him like she planned from the start. 

All she wanted at this rate, is to get rid of Gregory and leave Leo's place. They should never meet again after that. 

"OK." Clara said. 

'She agreed?' Leo asked in his head. He has planned a lot of retort to the obvious words she's going to say, but she actually agreed. Oh wow!

'This woman will be mine before she knew it.' Leo said in his head, not realizing that he smirked, until the young miss gave him a disgusted look. 

"What's with the smirk?" she asked. 

"Like I said, you will take your bodyguard role seriously. I will recommend that you watch some videos on YouTube to get enlighten on how to address your boss." Leo said seriously. 

"You!" Clara glared at him, but he maintain a serious expression. 

"I'm not joking Clara." he said. 

"You said, I will be treated as a friend." Clara said. 

Leo would never expect her to bring that up, never!

But seriously? 

Who is the one that's rejecting the friendship?

He thought it was a slip of tongue, but she's actually waiting for an answer. 

Eh?!
