Genius Son Sells his Mom to Dad novel Chapter 162

“No!” Claire waves quickly. She panics and says, “I haven’t seen you before, but you are really like a friend of mine before, so I can’t help it...”

“Really? Can I hear your friend’s story?”

It takes time to make coffee. Bryce faces Claire and puts his hands on his chest. He talks gently to her.

Bryce doesn’t look down on Claire because of her appearance but treats her politely.

Bryce is as gentle as ever. Claire wants to ask him what happened that year, but she is afraid he will recognize her.

Bryce camouflaged herself so it’s normal Bryce doesn’t recognize her. If she venture to ask him, he will doubt her and she may expose her identity here. What’s more, Leo is still around here!

Claire hesitates for a moment and chooses to hold back.

She shakes her head and says lightly, “he is very similar to you, but he has already passed away.”

“I’m sorry to remind you of something sad.” Bryce looks sorry.

“It’s OK.” Claire shakes her head and smiles. “Anyway, it’s been so long. I’ve accepted the fact for a long time. You don’t have to be sorry.”

Anyway, she knows he’s still alive.

Seeing Claire like this, Bryce smiles. He walks up to her and hands her a business card and says with a smile, “this is my business card and it has my mobile number on it. Since you said that I look like your dead friend, we are predestined. If you think of that friend later, you can call me. At least I can chat with you.”

Does Bryce mean to be friends with her?

Claire looks at Bryce’s business card and is surprised. She wants to reach for it, but suddenly she thinks of their relationship six years ago.

No, she doesn’t want to go back. Now she just wants to find her son and go back to France and never come back!

Claire grits her teeth and politely refuses, “I’m sorry. I can’t take your business card. I’m just a secretary. I can’t accept your kindness.”

Bryce is surprised. He is just expressing courtesy but he didn’t expect the woman to turn him down!

She doesn’t take the card at all but simply states her position.

That’s interesting!

“All right.” Bryce takes the business card back and smiles and says, “you’re good. Sir Howard has an interesting secretary. What’s your name?”

“My name is Angie!” Claire didn’t expect Bryce to ask her name. She is startled and almost blurts out her real name. Fortunately, she corrects it in time.

“Angie. It’s a good name. I used to have a friend with a nice name!” Bryce smiles and nods. Then the coffee is ready. He turns to get the cup.

Claire is a little shocked. What does Bryce mean?

“Thank you for your compliment. I have to go first.” Claire says nervously. She escapes immediately before Bryce replies.

Claire walks so fast that Bryce has no time to keep her. He looks at her back and suddenly feels familiar. “Have I seen her before? Why do I think this secretary is a little familiar?”

...

Claire runs back to the conference room. Leo is still sitting in his original position. When he sees her come in with a complex expression, he can not help frowning.

Why does she look like this?

Leo is confused and sees Bryce come in later. He suddenly feels angry and stares at Claire displeased. He growls in a low voice, “what did you do just now?”

Claire is confused. Leo’s words puzzle her. She immediately replies, “I went to the tea room just now.”

With that, Claire’s face changes. She suddenly realizes her mistake. A secretary goes to the tea room but doesn’t prepare coffee for her boss. She made a big mistake!

No wonder Leo is so angry. She wants to strangle herself!

“Sir, I’ll prepare coffee for you. Wait a minute.” Claire says guiltily. Before Leo responds, she turns around and leaves quickly.

Claire’s behavior makes him more angry!

This woman went to the tea room for so long, but she didn’t prepare coffee for him!

Seeing the coffee in Bryce’s hand, he even thinks that it is probably Claire who prepared it for Bryce. And Bryce went out after Claire just in the middle of the meeting. Did they stay in the tea room?

What did they do in it? Leo is furious.

They stayed in the tea room for so long. One is his new secretary, and the other is his business partner for many years. Leo really thinks...

This new secretary is so capable!

Leo is sullen until the end of the meeting.

After these business owners wave goodbye, Claire watches Bryce’s car leave and is suddenly frustrated.

Leo sees Claire’s moves. He becomes even angrier.

Claire gets in the car and closes the door. All of a sudden she is pulled by Leo and pinned under him. He puts his arm around her neck!

Claire is startled. She looks at Leo in surprise. “Leo, what do you want to do? Are you going to sexually harass me?”

Leo’s eyes are angry and cold. He looks down at Claire and says scornfully, “I sexually harass you? You don’t deserve it!”

Claire’s neck is pressed by Leo’s arm. Although she is suffering, she has no difficulty in breathing. She doesn’t know what is wrong with him. She yells angrily, “since you don’t want to sexually harass me, why are you pressing me?”

With that, she wriggles and tries to break free of Leo.
