Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad
Chapter 379 Help in secret

Claire might agree if she didn't meet Alyssa, but now she doesn't want to replace another peron because of their personal relationship. She shakes her head and says, "it's boring to be a secretary. Let me try another position." Hearing Claire's answer, Leo reaches out and pulls the bangs on Claire's forehead. He touches her white, smooth forehead with his hand and says, "you don't have a fever. But what's in your mind?"

Claire mumbles and shakes her head quickly. She pushes Leo's hand away and says, "don't make fun of me."

Leo says helplessly, "do you think I really need a secretary or really want you to work?"

Claire says impatiently, "you've said it many times. President Howard, you are powerful, so I just need to be beautiful."

Leo fingers Claire's eyebrows and smiles and says, "yes, you're smart."

"But I don't want to be a secretary all the time. It's too boring." Claire says discontentedly, "and we stay together every day. Don't you feel bored?"

Leo shrugs and makes it clear, "No."

"No one can make coffee like you. Only you can do it, so you have to be my secretary."

Claire says dejectedly, "I'm a designer but I can only make you coffee."

"Don't you want to do that?" Leo looks sad.

"I do, but I can make you coffee at home. You can put me in charge of advertising in the company." Claire says solemnly, "the company has suffered twice in advertising planning. If I take charge of it, there will be no problem." Leo is almost convinced. He won't stop Claire from doing what she wants, and Claire has talent. If she can play this talent, she will have a lot of fun.

Claire continues, "and I'm in the company anyway. I can come over and make you a cup of coffee from time to time."

Leo is really convinced. He compromises and says, "OK, but coffee is not enough."

Claire thinks about those things. Her heart beats and she blushes. She immediately says seriously, "no, this is the company..."

Claire's voice is getting smaller and smaller, but Leo is not interested in listening. He leans over and blocks Claire's mouth with a long, warm kiss.

Claire even chokes. The point is they're in the office so Claire is shy. She pushes Leo away and wipes her mouth and says, "you're a father. You are too frivolous."

Leo just smiles.

They are silent for a moment. Claire asks, "I heard you are going to crack down on rumors about me?"

Leo nods and says, "yes, I don't want your reputation to be damaged. I can't make you cheeky, so I have to shut up those who spread the rumors."

"You don't have to. It's troublesome." Claire advises him.

"No, I have to do it for you." Leo pats the table.

Claire continues, "I'll be your wife soon. Is what others say important? And when I was your secretary, we were easily misunderstood. Others don't know our previous relationship. So it's normal for them to misunderstand." Leo smiles and doesn't talk.

Claire is embarrassed and says, "and the company hasn't fully recovered. The staff are very busy. If you use these little things to make trouble."

"It's not worth it!" Claire tries to sound serious and reasonable.

"It makes sense." Leo thinks so.

"But I don't want to reason. Whoever hurt you has to pay. I want to let go of hatred, but everyone has to pay for what he did."

Leo has a point, too. Claire is his girlfriend. He can't be indifferent when his girlfriend is attacked.

Leo sneers and says, "and those rumors are not just about what happened when you were my secretary. Someone say you forced Tracy to leave and became my girlfriend with a conspiracy. Some even say Conan is the son of another mysterious man." Claire thinks the mysterious man might be Juan. She changes the subject. "Is it about Tracy again?"

Leo smiles and says, "look, you're interested in it, too. I've had the matter investigated. Soon we will know the result. You just need to stand quietly and watch."

Claire has no reason to go on. She succeeds in keeping Alyssa as Leo's secretary. She doesn't let her down, so she is relaxed.

Leo is thirsty and looks at Claire. "Didn't you say you were bored? I'm just thirsty. Make me a cup of coffee."

Claire refuses, "President Howard, I'm not your secretary. We have agreed."

Leo doesn't worry. He stands up and touches Claire's chin with his hand and threatens, "our kiss didn't last long. If you don't obey me, I..."

Claire panicks and widens her eyes and says, "I'll do it. Leo, calm down."

There is a knock at the door. Claire stares at Leo and says, "let me go, Leo."

Leo lets go of Claire and wants to know who is knocking. He shouts, "come in."

It is Alyssa who knocks at the door. She smiles and says, "President Howard, Miss Bennett."

Alyssa doesn't call her Claire in front of Leo. Claire thinks Alyssa is a very smart girl.
