After they sit down on the sofa, Leo is still unhappy. He asks impatiently, “Luke, do you like my new
secretary?”
“What?” Luke freezes and looks at Leo in disbelief. He smiles and says, “Leo, what are you thinking?
How can I like her! I just happened to see her and say hello to her. Why do you care so much? Do you
like her and care about her after you get along for a few days?”
Leo is teased by him and immediately says unhappily, “I don’t.”
“That’s good!”
Although Luke knows what Leo thinks, he continues to pretend. He puts his hand on Leo’s shoulder
and says with a smile, “neither of us like her. Why are you not happy? Cheer up! Leo, we’re going to
talk about something important later!”
“...” Leo glances at Luke lightly and shuts up.
Luke can’t help complaining in his heart. You like her but you won’t admit it.
You liked her six years ago. Six years later you lost your memory and you still like her!
He has been suffering.
Luke seems to be really busy these days. He tells Leo something important and stays for half an hour
before leaving. Claire wants to ask him if he would like to have lunch with her, but he is in a hurry so
she doesn’t want to disturb him.
At noon, Leo says he will not eat with her today. He’s going to the hospital and accompanying Tracy.
She needs him to eat with her?
Claire pouts scornfully and can’t help asking him about Tracy’s health.
“She’s fine. Today she’ll be discharged and I’m going to pick her up.” Leo says as he puts on his coat.
“By the way, reschedule the ticket to City B and arrange the itinerary.”
“OK.”
Claire nods and is a little upset.
After Leo leaves, Claire wants to slap herself. What happened to her? She’s not happy for Leo. Who he
wants to be with is his business. She shouldn’t think too much!
Maybe the grievance she suffered at the airport that day hasn’t dissipated, so her mood is so
depressed. If Leo dares to tease her again this time, she must teach him a lesson!
Claire is hungry when she thinks.
Luke is too busy to have lunch with her. Leo is going to pick up his fiancee. Claire doesn’t want to have
lunch alone. She doesn’t have much work in the afternoon. Bryce helped her when her foot hurt. She
can treat him to lunch in return.
So Claire calls Leo to ask for leave in the afternoon.
Leo is silent for a while. He thinks he doesn’t have time to go to the company in the afternoon, so he
allows it.
Before hanging up, he says, “remember to come to work tomorrow.”
”... Yes.” Claire hangs up gloomily. This strange man!
After successfully asking for leave, Claire calls Bryce at ease. He answers soon. Bryce whispers,
“Claire? Why do you call me?”
Hearing Bryce’s voice, Claire smiles and says, “Bryce, are you free this noon? I want to invite you to
lunch and thank you for helping me last time.”
“Don’t be so polite and repay me. But lunch...” Bryce is rummaging for something. He is silent for a
moment and says, “I’m free this afternoon. We can have lunch together. Where are you? I’ll pick you
up.”
“That’s good!” Claire breathes a sigh of relief. “Come and pick me up if you have time. I’ll wait for you at
home.”
“OK.” Bryce patiently waits for Claire to hang up before putting his phone down.
After hanging up, he takes a look at the pile of papers on the desk. He stands up decisively and puts on
his coat and leaves.
Claire hangs up and goes home and changes. She removes the glue from her face. Now that she
wants to thank Bryce, she can’t look so ugly.
Claire gets ready and Bryce’s car arrives her apartment. When she gets in the car, Bryce asks kindly,
“what would you like to eat? I’ll take you!”
Claire ties up her seat belt and smiles at him. “I’ve booked a restaurant. Let’s eat there.”
With that, Claire says a name and Bryce immediately starts the car.
Because Claire treats Bryce, she asks him to order first. Bryce is a gentleman, so he asks Clair to
order. Claire has no choice but to look at the menu.
She looks down and doesn’t see Leo and Tracy at the restaurant door.
They seem to have just come out of the hospital. Tracy looks great and doesn’t look like she just has a
car accident. She holds Leo’s arm and they seem to love each other.
Claire and Bryce don’t see them. Leo sees Claire first. He freezes and becomes unhappy when he
sees Bryce sitting opposite Claire.
What’s wrong with this woman? Isn’t she Luke’s girlfriend? Why is she eating out with Bryce now? Is
she coquettish?
Leo is a little upset. He goes over to say hello and satirizes her, “Miss Bennett, I didn’t expect to see
you again today. Don’t you come out with Luke today? Have you changed your date?”
He’s satirizing Claire. She was with Luke the other day, but today she’s with Bryce.
Hearing Leo’s voice, Claire looks up at him. When she sees Tracy holding his arm, she is not happy
either. Although his words don’t sound wrong, Claire knows him and recognizes his sarcasm.
The man must misunderstand that she is seducing another man.
Claire says angrily and reluctantly, “Luke is my friend. Mr Bryce is also a friend of mine. Is it too much
for me to eat out with my friends? Do I get in the way of Mr. Howard?”
