Chapitre 20: Spill it

Clara find the scene amusing. Who would have thought her ignorant one day boss will be this silly, 'is he even a man?' even she as a lady could do better than this.

She couldn't help but missed Sonya already. It will be heartwarming to see her expression after learning about this.

She had only raised her brow, and the man was pouring out words like she held a gun to his head.

"Did I say anything? why are blabbing like a witch?" Clara asked.

'What! blabbing! witch! can you please stop being difficult, I'm giving it my all to please you right now okay?' Leo thought in his mind, but still maintained the same expression.

"Of course you did not say anything, please eat miss, don't hurt your pretty body by depriving them of this wonderful meal." Leo coaxed.

"It's Clara" she said.

"Oh yes, Clara, eat please." said Leo.

Clara glance at the food and look at him suspiciously, "are you sure you did not poison this food?" she asked.

Leo was reaching his limits, even he himself was finding the situation awkward. He kept insisting that Clara should eat because he's 100% sure that his culinary skills is great and could melt a woman's heart.

At least those were the praises he got from Timothy after he tasted his food once.

"Why would I do that? here see," Leo picked up the spoon and put some food in his mouth, "it's safe." he manages to squeeze the words out, ignoring his pride as a man, since he needed Clara urgently.

Clara looked at him and smiled. She was trying to pull his leg but he's taking everything seriously. He expected him to get angry at her accusation, but he only proved his innocent instead. She will be an idiot if she believed Leo was just being nice.

"Spill it!" Clara said.

"what?" Leo was shocked by Clara's word.

"Just spill it!" Clara repeated.

"Spill what?' Leo looks at her innocently like he does not understand her words, 'how can this woman be so straightforward.' Leo thought.

"So you're telling me you don't need anything from me, and I shouldn't put the fact that you prepared food for me into consideration later hun?" Clara asked, raising her brow.

"...." Leo was speechless

"If so, I should eat and not mind you later then, since this is from your heart." Clara emphasised the last part and turned toward the food and begin eating.

"Hum yeah, it's actually from my heart and has nothing to do with the fact that I needed your help, but if you love the food; please put it into consideration." Leo replied but knew his pride as a man has been crushed totally.

'What a shameless man. He did not even leave a face for himself.' Clara shook her head and keep eating.

"Speak up your mind." she said while eating. She must confess that the food was indeed great, it's amazing for a man like him to possess such culinary skills. She's impressed for now, so she might as well listen to what he has to say while the food spirit is still in effect.

"I think you should finish your food first," Leo replied.

"Ok, but don't blame me if I didn't put the food into consideration later, it's up to you." Clara replied.

"I want to hire you." Leo quickly spoke up.

Clara looked up at him, looking astonished 'he wanted to hire me and went to the length of cooking for me because of that?' without knowing it, she was kind of feeling touched.

"Hire me?" she asked. 'the gods are really on my side this time. Judging by the look of things; he might have a good post for me in his company. these way; she can process her relationship with him.

If she was not against petty things as love; she might fall for him right this instance, he doesn't seem bad as she had thought.

Cooking for her because he wanted to hire her is way too cool.' Clara thought and picked up the cup and drink some water, but her fantasies were shattered when Leo replied her.

"Yes, actually I want you as my personal bodyguard." Leo said.

Clara spit out the water in her mouth onto his face out of shock, "wh... what... what! bo..bodyguard?" she stammered.
