19 what is he up to this time

Why are you absent at work? don't tell me you are sick cause I wouldn't take that as an excuse, Jerry attack Leo with words immediately he pick up his phone.

Leo laugh out loud intentionally to provoke the man,

did I just hear you laugh? Jerry asked in anger.

seriously uncle? do I have to ask for permission before being absent in my company? Leo replied the man.

what? Jerry was taken aback by Leo declaration, the last time Leo talk back at him was when he had asked him why he killed his parent, after that no matter what he said or did, the boy wouldn't complain.

you heard me, why should I ask for permission, when I own the company, Leo repeat again to provoke him more, he knew the man has killed his parent to posses the company and has always consider it his, he has been holding in everything the man has been doing all this while, because he knew he is at a disadvantage, the man know he can't stand sudden sounds and always use it to control him after failing many attempt on his life, if he disclosed it to the world, he will loose the company to him at the end,

but things are different now, he had met Clara, he wasn't sure what the girl was but, once might be a coincidence but it happen the second time,

the first time Clara yell at him at his residence, it was sudden but instead of a headache, he felt his body relax once he heard her voice, the second time should be more severe but he was only unconscious for two days,

his trauma affect him based on the quality of the sound, if it was a sudden shout, door bang, and little sounds like that, he would only at most get a severe headache and get better after a night rest, but it's different when the sound involve sudden car horns, sound of an incoming ambulance, fire works and many loud noises like that, he would go into full attack and might wake up a week and few days later, inside an emergency care unit, at a hospital.

but Clara claim he was only unconscious for two days, he was sure that if he was with her that night, he might not went into an attack, if Clara agree to help him, then he can began his plan and avenge his parent and live a normal life like his friends.

where are your manners? it seem that butler did not teach you how to address your elders, Jerry barked

elder? maybe if you did not kill my parent they might have done a better job than Mick, Leo sneer an replied.

watch your words or am going to make you regret it, Jerry threatened.

please make me, I will look forward to it, Leo replied and disconnect the call.

that damn bastard, Jerry roared and smack the table furiously as his expression changed

****

back at Clara's house, Leo was looking at the sleeping beauty and couldn't help but think that if he was to watch Clara sleep for an entire day and night he wouldn't get tired.

well, his thought did come to pass as Clara slept throughout the day till the next morning.

Leo who had thought that he need to please Clara before asking for her help, has gone out and shop for her, he filled her fridge with different kind of stuffs, and prepare a nice meal for her after, being an excellent cook, he wanted seduce her with food, but unfortunately for him, Clara did not even change position on the bed, she stayed at the same spot like a statue,

Leo did not give up and place the food near her bed using his hand fan the aroma to her nose, yet she did not budge.

after waiting and waiting, he finnaly eat a bit out of the food and throw away the remain.

the next day Clara wake up and the aroma of food fill the whole room.

morning sunshine, please sit up and eat, Leo said smilling brightly at her.

Clara find the situation awkward, what is he up to this time? she thought, and stood up only to look at her side and saw different type of foods, her eyes open wide at the site and her stomach betrayed her by making numerous grumbles.

seeing this, Leo proceed with his plan, has anyone ever told you how beautiful you look when you just wake up? oh don't mind me, you ara always beautiful, and you need a healthy meal to maintain your super beauty, please have a taste.

Clara raise her brow and give him a really? look.

of cause, why would I lie to you, here look, he took his phone and snap her face and quickly show her the picture, here See, you are the most beautiful woman have ever seen in my entire life.

Leo was mimicking Timothy words, but his actions are giving him away, if Tim was there with him, he would have cried at his friend foolishness.
