Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad

Chapter 205 Secretary is a burden

Fiona has an idea. Claire is probably not Leo’s secretary, but his mistress. He takes the opportunity of business trip to take her out to play in the name of secretary.

Smart people tend to think of many possibilities, but sometimes smart people are very unpleasant. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Hearing Fiona, Leo lets go of Claire’s hand. He is surprised that he is so close to Claire in public. He shouldn’t have done it.

He calms down and says seriously, “Miss Thomas, you think too much. She’s just my secretary. Maybe because she’s new here, she’s timid and a little stupid. I have to look at her myself.”

You’re stupid!

Claire stares discontentedly at Leo behind him and pouts.

If Fiona isn’t there, Claire will have refuted him.

Hearing this, Fiona looks at Claire with strange eyes. She smiles meaningfully. “Since she is so stupid, why doesn’t President Howard change a secretary earlier. Won’t she give your job any trouble?”

“...”

Look, Fiona’s clever and jealous words make Leo not want to talk.

Fiona has been satirizing him. Leo will have lost his temper and left if it hasn’t been for the cooperation project.

But Leo is Leo after all. Even if Fiona satirizes him, there is no woman in the world who can make him speechless or even out of control except Claire.

Leo is angry for a while and smiles. He takes a look at Claire and says with a little disgust, “she was recommended by my good friend. If I fire her, she will cry before my friend comes to me. I dare not fire her.”

Leo’s words are innocent, but the irony is obvious. He obviously wants Claire to take all the responsibility.

They walk into the elevator. Claire nips Leo on the back as Fiona turns. She seems to be angry at what he just said.

Leo’s arm hurts but he finds it funny. It happens that Fiona turns to talk to him again, and Leo quickly becomes serious and cold.

Fiona has disdain in her eyes. She gives Claire a faint glance and smiles and says to Leo, “Oh, she’s recommended. President Howard, where would you like to have dinner? It’s a coastal city and abounds in seafood. I know a restaurant has a good lobster. Would you like to try it?”

Leo is a gentleman. He nods and says softly, “Miss Thomas is the landlord and the native here. I should listen to Miss Thomas.”

Leo’s words satisfy Fiona’s vanity. She smiles smugly and keeps touching Leo’s body. She keeps teasing Leo as she speaks.

But today Leo’s attitude towards Fiona is so peaceful that he can even be called an absolute gentleman. Instead of refusing, he happily responds to Fiona’s physical contact and verbal teasing.

Claire can only chew her teeth behind them. Leo is comfortable but she is misunderstood and despised by Fiona because of his nonsense.

She enters the company on her own. No, even if Tracy recommended her, shouldn’t he respect her in front of other women? And this woman thinks of her as a rival!

Leo’s words are totally ruining her image. Claire is mad with rage.

She keeps cursing Leo behind his back. After leaving Fiona’s company, Claire says she is not feeling well and wants to go back first.

But Leo embarrasses her again. He asks confusedly, “you told me you wanted to eat seafood before you went out today. Why are you not feeling well now? Tell me what’s wrong.”

“... I have a stomachache!” Claire is speechless. Does Leo take the wrong medicine today? Why does he keep embarrassing her?

Doesn’t he know Fiona just wants to be alone with him? She should avoid it now. Even if Leo doesn’t want her to leave, Claire doesn’t want to stay!

Fiona looks at her as if she is going to eat her. She has a strong dislike for her.

When Claire finishes, Leo looks at her strangely and says, “I remember you don’t have stomach trouble.”

“...”

In this way, all Claire’s methods are denied by Leo.

Claire stares at Leo angrily. She has no idea what happened to him today. Doesn’t he see Fiona’s eyes horrible?

Even so, you should see me in pain!

Claire wails in her heart. She says bluntly to the confused Leo, “president, can’t I not go? I don’t want to eat today. I’ll go tomorrow.”

As she speaks, Claire looks pitifully at Leo.

She doesn’t believe Leo still doesn’t understand her meaning.

Today, however, Leo does take the wrong medicine. Not only does he not receive Claire’s prompt, he angrily accuses her, “Claire, what’s the matter with you? I’m your boss. Why is it so hard for me to ask you to go to dinner? Do you obey when I fire you?”

“...”

Claire is speechless.

Leo is crazy. Leo is stupid.

Claire keeps telling herself in her heart that she doesn’t know whether Leo really doesn’t understand her eyes or pretends not to. Anyway, Claire can’t see the meaning of his heart, because Leo behaves as usual!

But Claire doesn’t think he’s normal.

So Claire can only follow Leo and endure Fiona’s contempt and neglect all the way.

Claire is angry. She will not have been humiliated if it has not been for the cooperative project.

Damn asshole! She’s pissed off!
