Rude, Yet Still Owns The CEO's Heart

It was Clara's first day of work. Her job required her to clean at a rich man's mansion for high pay.

After failing to keep a stable job, Clara's childhood friend Sonya referred her to a cleaning job in which she worked in.

Clara, however, was bad at keeping a job as she would be frame repeatedly by her colleagues. Her outstanding beauty and grace led to rush of jealousy from workers who felt threatened by her.

"Clara, for both our sakes please try not to get fired," Sonya, pleaded. A beautiful brunette, with an alluring body, but still couldn't measure with Clara's outstanding beauty and shape. 

She's a great beauty herself. Her brown eyes look innocent, with a hint of silver in them. One look, and you will think you've met the most innocent girl in the world, until the 'bitch' side get poked. 

Her beautiful heart shape lips could make some scary movements when releasing some toxin words to those who deserve it, or those who doesn't. 

Seeing her friend looking into her eyes, with her warning glare, "I understand," Clara replied, but deep down, she knew she wouldn't last up to 2 month. However, she couldn't stop trying.

Seeing the determination in Clara's eyes, "Remember, when the boss is around, don't make any sound or any sort of eye contact if you wish to keep this job." Sonya said, after relaxing her glare, because she believes that Clara will behave. 

Clara nodded in agreement.

***Back at the present****

In the mansion, the workers were busily doing various chores. Likewise, Clara held a mop in her hands and cleaned the cream colored marble flooring with a serious expression. 

She was putting on a plain blue uniform, with her hair covered with the cap that came with the uniform. 

As she tediously mopped the floor, she recalled Sonya telling her that the money paid here is twice the amount of money every cleaner earns. She promised herself to try her utmost best to last at least three months because the salary would last her for a long time, while she starts job-hunting again. 

In the midst of her thinking, a man in his fifties, who happened to be the butler came inside the giant room to announce that the boss would be leaving for work any minutes from now. 

As soon as the butler finished talking, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and stood erect like they were in a war zone awaiting command.

Clara understood that the general workers were not to make any sound when the boss is around, but why was everyone acting so dramatically? The butler only said he would be out in a few minutes.

'Does that mean that they have to stand like statues until he shows up?' Clara thought, her eyes already searching for Sonya amongst the workers.

Soon enough, Clara located her friend, who was standing I'm front of a big frame window that she's cleaning, before joining in the drama of standing erect.

Sonya has also been trying to get her attention, so their gaze locked. Sonya raised her brows and make some weird movements with her head, as if saying, 'remember I told you to behave.'

Clara gave a knowing look to ask what was going on instead, but Sonya was merely annoyed and gestured for Clara to behave. 

Seeing Clara not seeming to wanting to drop her curious gaze, Sonya was about to signal more, when the door suddenly opened and their boss finally stepped out.

All the workers, who were already standing erect including Sonya, immediately lowered their head, their gaze locked to their feet, except Clara. Her eyes trailed towards the direction of the open door and she saw him. 

The moment she laid her eyes on him, it seemed like the world around her were in slow motion.

His raven black hair disheveled, with few strands escaping to fall down on the left side of his forehead, making him look alluring, coupled with his well built body and we'll defined face, with a strong jaw and a sexy thin pink lips. Deep black sexy eyes that appear seductive, with his long lashes and full brow, that could rival a female's one. 

One word for this dude is that, he's ridiculously handsome. One look and you will find the black suit that hug his perfectly carved body to be lucky. 

But don't misunderstand something here. Clara wasn't accessing his features because he's handsome. 

She isn't even letting those juicy appearance sink in her brain. She had her other reasons.

Before she knew what she was doing, the mop she was holding suddenly fell out of her grasp.

Pam! Pam! Pam! It created a loud noise as it hit the floor.

'It's him,' Clara said to herself.

Raymond Leonard, CEO of the Raymond enterprise and also one of the youngest CEO of an Intimidating enterprise in country M, stopped in his tracks as soon as he heard the sound the mopping stick made. 

He took a sharp breath and shouted, "Fire her!"

The words out of Leo's mouth brought Clara back to her senses completely.

'What? Fire?' Clara thought back on how she promised herself to last at least three months a few minutes ago, but she ironically wouldn't get to last a day.

Aside from that, Sonya will murder her! 

She refused to give up this job, not after what she just suspected. Moreover, being fired for dropping a mopping stick would be the worst reason to get sacked for.

Leo was already walking towards the entrance to the outside of the main mansion when, "Hey, you!" Clara yelled, making him stood erect.

"What? Fire her? Are you even in the right state of mind?! How dare you decide someone's fate like it's nothing, how dare you!" She dominantly made her way to where Leo stood still like a statue immediately she shouted.

Two bodyguards suddenly appeared from the entrance and ran past Leo to stop her. However, with just a slight push, Clara sent them flying and they immediately lost consciousness as their body hit the floor. 

No one witnessed this as they had their eyes directed at their feet. They only heared a loud thud.

Sonya was covered in sweat as she listened to her friend. Her heart racing fast and fingers trembling. 'I will kill her.' she assured herself, in her head. 

Seeing his guards on the floor; Leo turned towards Clara who was already making her ways towards him again. She stood in front of him, looking up and locked gaze with him.

Leo stared back into her emerald green eyes with his brow slightly creased, curious as to what she's going to do. 

Without Clara opening her mouth; Leo heard her voice in his head, 'APOLOGIZE!' 

It was more like a command. he saw her pupils turn cloudy white and returned back to it's emerald hue after hearing that word.

Leo was stunned and couldn't believe his eyes. 'is this possible?' he asked in his head. He told himself that he's probably hallucinating and shook it off his mind immediately.

Clara on the other hand. 

Seeing that Leo didn't heed to her command, she finally accepted that he's her other piece. The person in possession of her luck, making her go through hell to make ends meet, a life full of unfairness.

'Why does it have to be someone like him out of all the men in the world?' She thought.

But one thing was certain, she must stick with him. Based on what her grandmother told her, half her power will let loose immediately they made body contact and fully surface after making the bond.

He will be the source of her strength as well as her greatest weakness. Her power will be useless against him, which was proven when her compelling Leo to apologise didn't take any effect. 

Now, Clara's problem was to find a way to always be around this man because as soon as they met, her enemies will be able to sense her and hasten their plan to get rid of her. The only way for her to stay safe for the sake of the whole world is to look for a way to make him hers, either as a friend or as a lover. They must always stick together.

Lover is definitely a NO!, so friends it is. But what to do now? he just mentioned that she should be fired. 

Leo, who hadn't broken his gaze with her, saw her eyes turned apologetic. she started giving him different cute expression, as well as blinking her eyes, making her butterfly-like lashes flutter seductively. 

Despite all that, Leo remained unamused and awaited her to speak her mind. The most disturbing part about this woman is how her scream didn't hurt him like other noises did, instead he felt his mind clear. His whole being felt like it's washed of it's pain, making him somehow felt relaxed. 

"Big boss, can you forgive me this once please?" Clara said and slowly went on her knees, rubbing her palms against each other, while continuing to give pleading expressions.

Four more guards appeared at the entrance and made their ways towards the duo. 

Ignoring Clara's pleading, "Drag her out!" Leo commanded, and walked past her. 

The guards reached for her immediately, while she kept pleading with Leo as she was being dragged away. She didn't want to use her powers on the guards.

She had not applied any force when the previous bodyguards were sent flying and lost consciousness. She didn't want to repeat the same mistake.

She's meant to protect these people, not hurt them.
