Chapter 227 The eve of the storm

After Tracy leaves, Leo looks at Claire who is still standing in the corner with her head down. He sighs
and asks softly, “are you ok?”

Claire shakes her head and looks up at Leo. She looks at Leo seriously and firmly and says, “president,
I want to quit.”

She thought about it just now. Tracy knows it so she won’t let her go. She approaches him just to find
her son. She doesn’t want to be infamous and scolded for being a mistress in the street.

She doesn’t want it.

Before everyone knows about it, she wants to leave Leo. At least she won’t be so miserable.

Hearing Claire’s words, Leo purses his lips. He shakes his head seriously and says firmly, “you can’t
leave. I will not accept your resignation.”

“…”

The scene is exactly the same as it was six years ago.

Claire thinks helplessly, Leo, why are you so domineering? You know there is no result.

At that time, Claire wanted to leave, but Leo refused to let her go. It seems that she should try her best
to leave this time.

Claire sighs softly. Her voice is a little determined, “Leo, if I want to leave, you can’t stop me.”

“I have the final say!” Leo is full of majesty. Claire can’t help but flinch from his terrible eyes.

But she can’t.



Claire straightens up and says seriously to Leo, “if you don’t believe it, we can try!”

Claire’s determined face hurts Leo’s heart. He strides up to Claire and reaches for her chin. He forces
her to look at him and says, “you can’t leave. This is an order!”

Claire raises her hand and holds Leo’s wrist. She looks at him bravely. “Now everyone has freedom. I
have the right to choose. You can’t decide it.”

“Just for me, can’t you?”

Leo looks at Claire affectionately. His words have a rare affection.

“...”

Claire is shocked by Leo’s words. Is that true or false?

No, it must be fake. Most of their ambiguity is caused by Leo. She is misunderstood by Tracy because
of him.

She can’t be silly any more.

Claire pushes Leo’s hand hard and says coldly, “president, don’t be kidding. I’m just an ordinary
woman. I’m not worthy of your love.”

With that, Claire wants to get out of here.

“I’m not kidding!” Leo stands there and suddenly shouts.

“...” Claire looks back and resolutely leaves the mess.

…



In the bathroom, Claire washes her face with water. Her face is livid and more embarrassing.

She can’t stand it. Why does she stay for Leo? Is she crazy?

She will leave as soon as she finds her son.

However, some say Claire has an affair with Leo. They often have an affair in the office or at the front
desk of the secretary. They say Claire deliberately pretends to be ugly to attract Leo’s attention in order
to seduce him.

They say Claire is a bitch from a bar, so she’s insidious. They say Claire often seduces men so she’s
experienced.

Anyway, in the afternoon, the scandal about Claire has spread all over the company. Someone comes
to see her at the place where she works and makes fun of her from time to time. Then they leave
quickly before Leo comes out.

Claire is angry, but she can’t lose her temper. If she explains, she appears guilty and admits it.

So Claire can only be whispered and mocked by them.

This day really comes and comes so fast!

Leo’s office is on a separate floor. No other employees are present. At that time, only she and Leo, and
Tracy were present. The news spreads so fast that Claire knows who spreads it.

She didn’t expect Tracy to have many acquaintances in the company. In a short period of time, she lets
the story spread throughout the company and lets everyone know.

Claire is upset all afternoon. She can’t sit comfortably in her seat and can hardly work.



Leo may have known about it. He doesn’t come out of the office all afternoon, so many women are
more arrogant.

Claire is surrounded by a crowd when she takes the elevator after work. They’re all behind Claire.
Claire is the only one standing in front.

Though their voices are small, Claire hears them. In the end Claire can’t stand it. She turns and stares
coldly at the people who are talking about her.

The female colleagues stop talking at once. They look at Claire and they have disdain in their eyes.

Claire looks at them quietly for a while and slowly says, “you can speak loudly. I’m so sorry for your
ears.”

With that, Claire turns back to face the elevator door.

They are stunned by Claire’s words. After a long time someone whispers, “this woman is sick.”

“Of course, otherwise she would not have been so bold to seduce other’s boyfriend.”

They whisper and finally stop talking about Claire.

Claire finally feels quiet but she isn’t happy. The storm is about to break out in her heart. She wants to
lose her temper, but she knows it is no use losing it to people who can only whisper. The best way is to
clear up the rumor and let those who scold her shut up.

In this case, only one person is suitable to come out to clarify, but that person does not come out but
hides in the office for the whole afternoon.

Claire’s patience is running out. If Leo doesn’t explain the misunderstanding clearly, she will quit her job
and never come to work again!
