Claire…
Claire’s heart pounds. She coughs to hide her heartbeat. She says discontentedly, “president, don’t be so close. Next time your fiancee finds out, she might cut me with a knife. I know she has a bad temper. I dare not approach you. President, please let me go. Don’t bother me any more!”
“I left my resignation letter on your desk yesterday. Please forget me. I don’t want an office romance!”
“Claire!” Leo roars. He says domineering, “I said I will not allow you to resign. If you want to quit, give me a million dollars. Don’t lose your temper like a child next time.”
He says she is like a child!
Claire is furious. She growls discontentedly, “Leo, don’t go too far! I was scolded as a mistress by your fiancee because of you! I told you I will never be a mistress. I don’t want to have that relationship with you!”
“I have rejected you many times! You pester me but I suffer. Have you ever thought about how I feel! Have you ever thought about the fact that you already have a fiancee! Leo, please let me go. You can have all kinds of beauties. Why bother me! Are you blind...”
Before Claire finishes, Leo hangs up. Claire hasn’t finished venting. She glares angrily at the phone and tries to throw it aside!
Claire lies on the bed looking at the ceiling angrily. After a long time she calms down. She gets up, washes her face, brushes her teeth and changes her clothes.
Claire looks at herself in the mirror. Why does she change? Is she going out for lunch with Leo?
She doesn’t want to. If she is photographed by paparazzi again, she want to die!
Claire stands still for a while. The doorbell rings suddenly. Claire is shocked. It’s only a dozen minutes since they called. Is it Leo?
And it’s not lunch time!
Claire walks uneasily to the door. She looks at the man outside through the mirror on the door. She does see Leo’s black face.
Claire can’t help shivering. As she hesitates to open the door, Leo suddenly looks into the mirror and looks at her. He seems to know that she is looking at him through the mirror.
Claire clearly sees Leo saying, open the door.
Then he slams the door again. Claire has to open the door.
“Why are you here? I’ve made it clear...” As soon as Claire opens the door, Leo strides in and closes it.
Leo grabs Claire’s arm and hits her against the wall and kisses her hard.
What Claire wants to say is blocked by Leo. Her hands are tightly bound. Claire has absolutely no room to struggle.
Leo’s kiss is crazy and sentimental. He sucks the sweetness of Claire’s mouth quickly and greedily. His strong tongue dances with Claire's soft tongue. Claire can’t fight and can only let Leo attack.

The readers' comments on the novel: Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad
The storyline could have been better -- organization and cohesion of episodes could stand improvement, ending could have been more definitive resolving the many conflicts between the protagonists. Of course, the despicable treatment of Leo towards Claire initially, e.g., selling her off in an auction and giving her to the madam of the club as princess is inhuman and a violation to the wife's rights and honor. I was wondering why she did not leave after these maltreatments. Oh, well, the conclusion [if the narrative ends in Chapter 488] is quite disappointing and anti-climactic. Thank you just the same....
The end of the story is wanting, considering how the episodes build up to conflict after conflict and concluding in yet another conflict. But then c'est la vie! Thank you....
