Bab 16: What A Beauty!

It was around 3pm, when Leo eventually opened his eyes. Immediately he did; he saw Clara quietly sitting down on a chair at his side looking at him, her gaze void of emotions. She just stared at him blankly as if she's staring into space.

After Leo kissed her, she trashed the remaining food on the floor out of annoyance and scattered the whole room as well. If it were another man, it wouldn't have annoyed her to such extent, but she still held grudges against him for sacking her on her first day at work, when he is the one in possession of her luck.

After her anger subsidies she started cleaning the room again, while Leo, the cause of all this was sleeping peacefully like a newborn baby. That's when she realised she's torturing herself.

For some reason unknown; immediately their eyes met, Clara hair that was tied in a tight bun suddenly let loose, cascading on her, with their tips resting on her lap.

'What a beauty!' Leo thought as they still kept staring at each other.

He knew she was extremely beautiful when he first saw her, but as a cleaner; her hair was covered up. But looking at her full features now, he couldn't help but admit it to himself that her beauty is out of this world.

He wondered why a great beauty like her worked as a cleaner, as if she entered an entertainment industry with her look; many will fight to have her for themselves and moreover, the private investigator was able to locate her easily thanks to her property.

Even though the house looked ancient; If she put it on lease, she will make a fortune and wouldn't have to work unless she wished to.

Thanks to his two friends promiscuous lifestyle, he has seen a lot of beauty, with their slang which stated, "if you see someone you like, just f**k them and you wouldn't have any regrets in life".

Then after, they added another which stated, "if they are too good looking, make sure to have a taste".

Even he, as a man always get nervous whenever Ella look at him too much. The fear of the girl switching to him after running out of man to sleep with terrifies him. When the girl set her eyes on a man; she will do anything to get in bed with the fellow and she has never lost her catch once.

The worst part is how she dumped them after sleeping with them once or twice when she finds them capable.

Tim, on the other hand, would be ready to sell his soul just to get under Clara's skirt if he meets with her. She possessed everything Tim look for in a woman, her look, shape.

Although he has not seen her in a fitted outfit. The last time at his place, she was putting on the workers uniform, but looking at her tiny waist which compliments her curvy hips, he's sure Tim would go crazy at this sight.

'She's just too beautiful.' he thought, and suddenly smile at himself, 'it seems I've befriended those thugs for a long time that I'm becoming like them' he scoffed once again.

All the assessment and smiles didn't missed Clara's eyes. She felt the urge to strangle him the moment the smile appeared, but still held it in, because no matter how annoying this fellow is, she still needs his help.

Mick cell rang, seeing the caller, his face turned pale. He breathes in and out before picking the call. The caller was none other than Jerry, Leo's uncle.

"Hello! " he said hiding his nervousness.

"Where is that brat? why is his cell not going through? and why the hell is he not in the office?" Jerry threw three questions at him.

"The boss is not feeling too well, he decided to rest for a while. He should be okay by next week." Mick explained, still all tensed up.

"Oh! and who did he informed before taking sick leave? where are his manners? it seems you did not teach him well, maybe he needs someone to force some sense into him." Jerry said in a threatening tone.

Mick panicked and rushed to explain, "no sir, I'm sorry for not teaching him well, if someone needed a reminder it should be me."

"Shut up and put him on the line," Jerry barked.
