Chapter 31 Shock And Hurt

• LEO'S POV
• "Why would she think I was going for a burial, like black wasn't a cool colour?" That was all that kept on ringing bell in my head while I was driving to Jack's house. He called me earlier that day, informing me about how his dad was attacked and was hospitalized so he had to run things in the Mafia but he didn't know how so he needed my help. I was surprised when I saw my phone ring and it was Jack calling, I remembered what he did and chucked I didn't want to pick his call because I was still mad at him. Jack kept on calling so I thought it was an emergency, he was still my friend anyways, he had always been there for me anytime I needed him. After promising him that I was going to be there soon, I ended the call sent for Clara. By the time she came I was already done preparing, already heading to my car when I saw her coming to my room. She paused when she saw me and that was when she asked me if I was going for a burial, I was shocked by what she mean but I decided to ignore her. I and my body guard was suppose to go to Jack house as earlier planned, but I changed my mind and insisted she followed me and signalled my bodyguard to leave, which he did immediately we got to the car. I could tell Clara was reluctant to go with me but I couldn't figure out the reason why I wanted her to go with me.
• " Maybe I wanted to show her off to Jack. No, no, no, that cant be the reason or maybe I enjoy her company? Not it either" I thought while I was driving. I took a quick glance at her and noticed she wasn't comfortable, she looked scared, frightened and worried, I noticed she wasn't sitting comfortably, I know she wasn't at ease when she is around me but the least she could do to help herself at this moment is to sit properly. Her eyes were fixed on the road while was busy fidgeting with her fingers which irritated me. I was forced to push her backward on her shoulder so she could rest her back, she couldn't even say a thank you.
