Chapter 108 - Is he cured?

Mike made sure to mind himself around him till working hours are over, because every tiny mistakes is getting on Leo's nerves.

He promised himself to not look at Clara again. It was not as if he knew, or was warned beforehand, but Leo is taking his tiny stare as big deal.

Even if he wanted to start liking a woman, even though Clara is a great beauty, he would have started hating her from today onwards, because she's rude.

He's glad Leo couldn't read minds. He will have his neck for those thoughts.

...

Clara who has arrived at home earlier in the morning was now waiting for Leo at the small lounge that they had their conversation at, the previous night.

When she left his office, she had walked towards his garage without care, because all eyes were on her till she got out of the building.

Despite that, she found herself taking a deep breath after gotten out. Those stares felt like some kind of supernatural scan.

She was so excited that he asked her to take the car home. An opportunity to drive like the wind, have the windows down to let the breeze romance her hair roughly.

After recalling Leo's look the previous day, something tells her he might be half serious, despite the fact that he wanted to use the opportunity to order her around.

She left the place with pouted lips, leaving the car behind.

She hasn't gotten far from Leo's company before she realized that she was being tailed again.

Her heart race wildly. Should she go back and protect Leo?

What if she's not the only one being followed?

She doesn't mind it, because they can't hurt her, but what if they hurt Leo?

This made her decided to bait herself. She wanted to get captured and take care of the enemy sooner, so that Leo can be safe.

She walked all the way, yet these unknown people didn't approach her. She even took the roads that are less crowded, pass through alleys, with the pretense of taking shortcuts, yet they just kept following her without making a move.

She got pissed and later board a cab, because she had almost walked half the journey on foot.

'Who are those people?' Clara thought, but the sound of the gate opening broke her from her thoughts.

Leo walked in on foot, making her wonder if he didn't realize that she did not took his car.

He wasn't putting on his suit and only have on his blue long sleeve shirt and his trousers.

He hadn't noticed her, but Clara did. His long legs grace the floor with his strides. His hair was back to being dishelved, unlike in the morning when he look like a groom standing at the alter.

Few locks falling on the left side of his forehead. He had his hands in his trousers pocket, making it look like he has curvy hips as his manly body walks closer and closer, making her see him more and more clearly.

Brow slightly furrowed, with his lips in a thin line. Expression appear pensive, making Clara wonder if he had encountered trouble.

This didn't lessened his beauty. To be honest, Clara told herself that she would have find him hot if they weren't on bad sides.

She had no idea that she has indirectly admitted that he's hot.

But something happened that made her creased her own brow and held back from calling him as she planned.

His phone rang. It didn't vibrated like before, but actually ranged.

Clara saw him got startled by the sudden ringing of his phone, but he didn't look like he's in pain.

He was clearly deep in thought, yet he wasn't affected by the sudden sound.

Leo paused in his steps and confirm the caller to be Mike.

"Sir, I was told your car was at the company and you forgot your jacket." Mike said, as Leo unexpectedly allowed him to drive him home with his own car.

"Bring it to the office tomorrow. Don't bother driving back if you're far away already." Leo said and Mike lied that he's far away.

He's still close, but since Clara stayed in the mansion, he didn't want to accidently bump into her and have Leo accusing him of staring.

Better be safe than be sorry later.

It would have been better if he hasn't mentioned it, but since has, Leo will monitor his eyes movements each time Clara is around, from now on.

What a poor luck.

Putting the phone inside his pocket, Leo noticed that he's being watched and look around, only to see Clara staring at him with her eyes wide open and lips slightly parted.

She seem to be in a daze.

Knowing that she was waiting for him, he made his way towards her. His mind didn't clicked on the fact that she might have just witnessed how he wasn't getting affected by sounds any longer.

Leo was glad to be using ringing tone like normal people, instead of vibration and relying on the phone led lights.

After their conversation, he actually seem to feel less choked up with his feelings for her. He has to make her fall for him, but for now he wants to give her the space that she appears to need.

Perhaps if he proves helpful with her mission, she will look at him.

Clara watch as he closed in on her, his raven black eyes staring at her, with the multi colored lights in the space reflecting in his irises.

Like yesterday, it felt like she's seeing him for the first time. He's incredibly handsome, with his well defined face that carried a hint of innocence on it, like his soul has never gotten a taste of this world full of hassle and evilness of mankind and demons.

She realized she find him handsome when she's not hating his appearance in front of her.

And for the first time, Leo didn't let her intense stare stir him up too much. He didn't had those cute imaginations in his head like the previous day.

With his hand still in his trousers pockets, and yeah! face looking neutral, Leo walked past her after saying 'hi' and went to take his seat.

Clara broke from her stupor after the beauty stopped gracing her eyes. She was taking aback by two things which made her get confused.

She won't deny that her strong urge of disrespect towards him weakened after seeing the empire in Leo's care and the people who work for him.

It might be the reason why her mind isn't drifting to something insulting till she fed her eyes on his beauty to the fullest.

And also, why isn't he affected by sound?

Is he cured?
