Clare Callowayâs car pulled up at the company entrance and she hopped out, striding toward the building Just before she entered a familiar voice echoed frm behind âClara!â
Emmett Melendez, standing beside her, also turned to lookâ¦
The voice belonged to Taylor Atwood What on earth was he doing here?
Upon seeing Taylor, Claras first instinct was to book it!
Taylor made to chase after her but was stopped by Emmett âMr Atwood, this is the Melendez company, not a place you can walk into 1 need to see Claraâ
âWho you want to see is none of my business, but if you donât work for Melendez, you canât come in Taylor frowned at him, âEmmett, what are you playing at? All I want to do is explain things to Clara Why are you stopping me?â
âI donât care about your personal affairs, but you canât come in.â
With that, Emmett turned and went into the building.
Taylor tned to follow but was stopped by Ricardo.
âMr Atwood, I suggest you stay out hereâ
âYouâ Taylor was angry, âFine, fine! If you wonât let me in, then Iâll just wait for her out here!
He didnât believe he couldnât wait Clara out Clara sprinted to her office, only relaxing slightly when she saw no one was following her Not long after, Emmett walked in âWhy did you run?â
âNo, no reason Emmett looked at her flustered face. âAnd you say you have nothing to do with Taylor?â
âYou bolt at the sight of him. Did you con him out of his money?â
Clara gave an awkward laugh, âNo, I just felt there was nothing to talk about with him.â
âYou two used to date This wasnât a question, but a statement.
âNo! Taylorâs way out of my league, how could I possiblyâ¦â
âBut youâre married to me now, arent you?â
Clara was speechless.
âBetter figure things out with Taylor and let me know the deal. I can protect you now, but I canât do that forever!â
âReally, thereâs nothing to say about him. We were just friends back then.â
âThatâs it?â
âThatâs really it!â
âBut you used to have feelings for Taylorâ
He wasnât blind He could tell.
Sure enough, Clara lowered her head Her reaction didnât sit well with Emmett! âPrint out all the documents needed for today and bring them to the meeting room!â
âOkay, got it!â
âAlso, relay tomorrowâs tasks personally to every departmentâ
As Clara watched him leave, she was taken aback With this much work, there was no way she was leaving the office today.
Back in his office, Emmett was also feeling edgy today He had a hunch that this Taylor would be a big headache in the future, for both his work and Clara âMr Melendez, Mr Atwood is still waiting for you outside Ricardo knocked on the door to remind him Emmett waved him off, âLet him be. If he wants to wait, let him wallâ
âLinderstoodâ
After Ricardo left, Emmett looked at the files in his hands, but his mind was elsewhere He couldnât concentrate.
He got up and walked to the door of Claraâs office. Watching her busy figure, he felt an unusual sense of calmâ¦.
What kind of charm did this woman possess that made her stand out so much?
Over the years, many women had tried to curry favor with him, but only she caught his attention!
From the moment he first saw her, he felt that she was special, completely different from other women.
Emmett gave a slight smile and strode into the office
