Chapter 153 - Trouble brewing

Clara rolled her eyes at him. "Well, you look like my great grandfather right now. You need to shave like seriously, because those hair nearly cut into my skin. Uggghhh so irritating." She said, giving him a mocking smile. 

"Thanks for forgiving me, Clara." Leo said seriously. I want you to know that, you don't need to force yourself to love me. 

Clara, I will take my time and make you mine. You will fall for me because your heart starts racing for me, not because you pity my feeling for you." Leo added.

Clara felt her heart skipped at his words but still tried to turn it around, since she had no reply to it. "That sounds cheesy." She said, squinting her eyes at him.

"Yeah, it is for now, but you will get to feel the quality of it soon." Leo replied, looking determined. 

"Really? we are going to do this again?" Clara asked, as Leo's eyes were glued to her lips again and his hand began to stroke her chin, with his forehead leaning to brush against her own. 

The way he bit down on his lower lip while staring at her own, was damn hot and she told herself that she deserves an award for being so calm on the outside.

Leo released his moisturized lower lips and it was now Clara's turn to bite down on her lower lip and gulped. 

With his thumb, he teased her chin till she released her lips from her teeth. 

"My teeth will do that." He said and continued to answer her questions, "well, you said to stop treating you like you could die from something, so I believe this wouldn't kill right?"

His lips moved closer and he brushed it to her own in a teasing manner. 

"You are so shameless." Clara said, letting out a soft giggle and actually enjoying the moment. If she knew that it would feel this good, she might have tried it earlier. 

The closeness, the touch, the kiss. Everything felt so good that she felt like she was in a dream. 

"That makes the two of us." Leo said as he pulled back a bit and looked her in the eye, "may I?" he asked, but Clara just stared back at him, not saying anything. 

"I will take that as a yes then." Leo said and was about to kiss her when his phone started ringing.

"Damn! Who is that mood killer?" He cursed, as he turned to pick up his phone.

.....

Inside a big mansion, which belongs to Jerry, A man was sitting in front of him, giving his reports.

This man was no other than the security guy at Leo's residence, who always looked for one way or the other to give Mick reports which wasn't requested from him.

He is the same man who informed Mick about Clara leaving with her things, after her argument with Leo. 

"Sir, I think we can execute our plans now. He is the only one at home since last 2 weeks, aside from those stupid boys who knows noting more than training." The man said and suddenly, his eyes lit up, "and oh! There is this little girl about five years of age with him." he added.

"A little girl?" Jerry asked, confused. 

"Yes. Leo left with the kid to God-knows-where and he returned alone on that same day."

Mick left in a rush a day after, and returned with the kid alone. Leo has not been seen since then." The guy explained.

"You have done well, but your job is not finished yet." Jerry said.

"Give me the instructions sir." the guy said.

"Tomorrow night, you will leave the gate open for the boys. Kill that other colleague of yours, to avoid a mess up. I don't want mistakes." Jerry said.

"Sure." The guy said.

"You go and alert those boys about the ambush to lure them away from the main house and your job is done." Jerry said again. 

"Consider it done sir." The guy replied. 

"You can leave now." Jerry said and the guy stood up and left.

"Kill this idiot as well. He has the right to sit down in front of me while reporting. I won't tolerate that." Jerry said to Jimmy who was hiding at a corner during the conversation between Jerry and the man.
