Chapter 105 - Come and take off his jacket

'Is it a coincidence, or has he been staring at her since they left the mansion?' she thought, feeling creeped out.

She look at him again, making it the second time their eyes will be locking since the journey. 

He smiled at her again and look away.

'What is he doing?' she thought. 

She was tempted to asked the meaning behind it, but she knew he might shamelessly say she's beautiful. 

And yeah, she's right. Leo was mesmerized by her, just like always. She look hot with that cold expression, making him wonder which expression can lessen her beauty. 

He couldn't help staring, even though it's not in his plan. 

Clara adjusted the mirror, making it look up at the roof of the car, so that he won't be able to see her, which made Leo smile. 

It's the first time Clara will be entering the main building of Leo's company. She was dressed in a black tight pants and a simple white shirt, which was button up to her neck, while a sexy black boot grace her beautiful pair of legs. 

Her hair was let down behind her, with the edge looking sharp, thanks to the wonder of hair straightener. She's tired of her hair seducing Leo, which made her choose to always let it down when she's with him. 

Her make up was transparent, while her lips were touch up with a light red lipstick to aid it's sexiness. One look could make a man crave a taste, which is also one of the part Leo was staring at through the mirror. 

For the first time, she realized the privilege she's getting, as she saw countless staff this single man is controlling. 

Both old and young. They bowed their head respectfully as they walk past them, while she could feel eyes on her. 

Leo was walking in front, while she's walking after him, admiring the place within the corner of her eyes and mistakenly locking gaze with some of the females staring at her. 

Leo didn't reply to their greetings and just kept walking towards his private elevator. She also noticed that none of them make any unnecessary noise, just like the mansion workers. 

There were sounds of keypad tapping and other mini sound, but not loud enough to irritate the ear or alter one's focus. 

He was well respected, making Clara subconsciously felt that, he did treated her like a friend. Because if he treat her like a worker, he might not have overlooked her treatment towards him. 

She didn't even get to think about Leo being annoying or anything. She just kept looking at the beauty of the interior of the building. It's pretty from the outside, but the inside is magic. 

'Just how rich is this guy?' she thought. 'Perhaps I should try taking his card again.' she thought. She felt that Leo was right. She didn't spend much from the wealth this man possessed. 

No wonder he didn't mind his uncle's spending. He has enough. 

"Ah!" she exclaimed as her head hit his chest. 'did he put on an iron vest before the suit.' she thought as she rubbed her forehead and moved back from him.

Leo has stopped in his tracks and look back to see her looking around and seem deep in thought. Seeing her getting closer and not realizing it, he remained still, but wondered what is going through her mind. 

Clara isn't use to feeling pain, but again got a reminder that this man can bring that effect. She looked up at him with her brow creased, before looking back at his chest. 

"Is there a rock in there?" she asked out of curiosity. Her arrogance has somehow depleted after she realized the number of people that respect this man that she's always rude to. 

He somehow appear half important in her head. 

"Touch it to confirm." Leo said, expecting a glare, but saw her lifted her hand to feel his chest. 

He look at her, amused. 

'Did he do that on purpose, because he knew I'm going to bump into him?" she thought, because Leo didn't even ask if she's hurt from the impact. 

She doubt that someone's chest could be this hard. The only explanation is that, he wore something metallic under, perhaps a bullet proof with iron parts. 

Leo knew she wouldn't appreciate his concern anyway, which is why he didn't bother asking. After their talk the last time, she has told her how only he, could make her feel pain, which is why she asked him to hit her again the last time. 

She claimed she wish to experience that feeling of physical pain. That revelation made Leo finally forgave himself for mistakenly hitting her. 

"Sir." the two heard Mike's voice. Mike has visited the mansion before and even rode the car with them twice, so she knew him.

Clara retracted her hand, her head snapping towards Mike's direction. 

"Good morning sir." he greeted, totally ignoring Clara. 

"Hmm." was all Leo said in response, which made her recalled how he's usually the one that greet her first, which she will at times, ignore. 

Mike seem used to it and walked towards the elevator. He opened the door and called Leo's attention to it. 

Clara felt awkward. She somehow felt like if she talk rashly to this man, all these employees will pounce on her. 

Leo, who has been studying her chuckled, before turning around to enter the elevator. Clara was about to do the same, when Mike stretched his hand in front of her, "follow me." he said in a command tone. 

Clara looked up at his face, which seem as cold as ice, before looking at Leo, who didn't seem to care. 

She watched the elevator close, with Leo not even looking at her, before she walked after Mike, who didn't wait to witness her staring drama.

She somehow felt her inside twisted. She felt belittled, as if she didn't mean much. 

She bit down on her lower lip till they got to the public elevator, which they both boarded. 

Mike look at her within the corner of his eyes. He couldn't believe that this woman is about to touch Leo and he didn't seem to mind it. 

He was the one who took off his suit jacket, because he wouldn't let any female touch him. 

It felt like eternity before the elevator stopped at the 26th floor. She wondered why Mike always look so cold and always seem like he want to beat up anyone in sight. 

They walked towards Leo's office. Mike open the door, while the both stepped in. 

'Wow!' Clara exclaimed inwardly, as her eyes marvel at the beautiful view before her. The office is so wide and very beautiful. 

She wondered what type of flooring she's standing on, because it look like a frozen sea. She felt like she's walking on a sea. 

There are different fishes scattered around. Some were in group, while some stood solo. 'what is this?' she thought, because she hasn't seen something like it before. It didn't take a genius to know it must cost a lot. It looks magical. 

There's a large window behind Leo's table, which give a vivid view of the sky, as well as the city. 

The moving vehicles and building look small from up here, as if they are beneath him. 'this man must feel like a king in this office.' Clara thought. 

All he had to do was swirl his body a little and make the chair face the opposite direction, and those beautiful view were there for his eyes to feast on. 

He seem to like animals, as the sofa in the office is in zebra clothing. It look lavish and alluring, the type that makes you feel the urge to get your ass on it and feel it's texture.

Their are beautiful paintings hung up on the cream colored walls, making the place look like a mini paradise. A door was located not too far from his seat, which she assumed to be his room, while a big conference table situated opposite his view from his chair, for the purpose of meeting that he wish to have in his office. 

It was far from where he is, since the place is ridiculously big and spacious. 

Mike walk towards Leo who was on his feet, tapping on the keypad of his laptop, as if searching for something. He reached his hand to take off Leo's jacket, but Leo stopped him, by raising his left hand. 

"Thank you Mike, Clara will do it." Leo said, which make Clara broke away from her stupor. 

She look at the duo with a confused expression, and watch Mike walk aside, "come and take off his jacket." Mike said, with a serious expression.

"What!" Clara glared at both of them, but since Leonard doesn't have a pair of eyes behind his head, he didn't see it and spread his hands sideways in waiting.
