Bab 17: Sure! I wouldn't
"I'm sorry but I'm not in the house right now. When I returned; I will ask him to call you back." Mick lied to the man.
Mick is not a weakling, but ever since he felt the evilness of Jerry; he began to fear the man, not for himself but for Leo. When he first found out about the fact that he is behind Leo's parents death; he foolishly went after the man, but in return; Jerry got Leo poisoned to serve as a warning to Mick, for him not to pass his boundary.
Ever since then, he has been avoiding getting on the man's bad side unless he wants Leo to pay the price.
"Are you scheming behind my back?" Jerry asked suspecting something seems off.
"I will never. As soon as I get home, I will tell inform to call you." Mick said.
Jerry disconnected the call.
....
"Go and inspect those fools, I don't believe a word that Butler is saying. Since he refused to die, he should do what he is good at and earn me more money. I won't tolerate his absence at work" said Jerry to his right hand man Jim.
"Yes, sir." Jim replied. It was this same man that fled the scene of Leo's family accident after hitting them with the truck. He has aged since then, as he was still a young man when he carried out the mission of killing Leo's family. It was his first test to prove his capabilities to Jerry.
After he successfully executed the mission, he became Jerry's rights hand man.
"And Jimmy, if there is a chance whereby you think it's possible to get rid of him, do it. I don't believe there is anyone impossible to kill in this world, even if he has ten lives; it will get exhausted once we kill him again and again. I can't be rest assured until that bastard is gone." Jerry said.
"Ok sir." Jim replied and left.

"Hi!" Leo finally opens his mouth.
Clara nearly rolled her eyes, 'hi? as in hi? this bastard sure is a good actor, Oscar owes him an award.' Clara said in her mind. She scoffed and tilted her head right at the same time.
Leo mistook her scoff as a smile at him and smiled back.
Seeing this, Clara couldn't bear it anymore. "It seems you are back to health, I should sleep with you then, and..." Clara was still talking and standing up at the same time when Leo cut in and sat up from the bed pressing his hands on Clara's shoulders to stop her from standing up.
"I can't do that," Leo said while his hand still rested on Clara's shoulders.
Clara look at the hand placed on her shoulders. If a look could produce real fire, Leo's hand will be on flame already. She stared back at Leo who still believed she was angry because he rejected her.
"Even if I wished to, you know I just gained back my health. I can't possibly satisfy you in this state, and moreover we are not in that kind of relationship." Leo finished his explanation to make her feel better, only to meet with Clara's disdain look.
She nearly puked out blood at Leo's word. She couldn't believe she was about to tell him to rest more, so they can both talk after they woke up.
"Wh...wha...what?" she stammered, her voice trembled of anger. "Satisfy? even if you wish to? relationship?" She took a deep breath and slapped away Leo's hand from her shoulders, and look at him from head to toe like he is nothing but trash.
Leo was shocked by her stare and couldn't help but wonder if he had misunderstood her.
"Aren't you thinking too highly of yourself?, you really think I, Clara will want to.. to.. to have sex with you?" she looked at him with a disgusted expression.
"Even if you're fully naked in front of me, I wouldn't bat an eyelash." Clara finished her words and tried to stand up, but Leo held her down again, this time he looked annoyed.
Telling a man his nakedness wouldn't make a girl bat an eyelash is indeed a great insult, it made Leo felt worthless.
"Are you sure about that?" he asked, after Clara is back on her seat.
Clara scoff and look at him in the eyes, "I'm very sure that I won't bat an eyelash if you're fully naked in front of me." Clara repeated her words once more, to make it clear to him.
"Oh really! then I'm sure you wouldn't mind us trying it out right here and now, right?" Leo said glaring at her out of anger. To him, Clara word was more like calling him a complete man an impotent.
Clara stared at him and her lip twitched. "sure! I wouldn't mind."
