Chapter 149

Leah sneered, “Think about it, my dear brother! Don’t do something you’ll regret!”

“Of course, I’ve told you, if you insist on keeping up this charade of being deeply in love, I can’t stop you, but don’t interfere with what I do! Even if I have nothing to do with Emmett right now, even if I win him over in the future, it’s because of my capabilities! It’s because Emmett doesn’t love Clara enough!

You can’t blame me for that.”

With that, Leah hung up the call.

She disdainfully glanced at Elio’s phone number, then swiftly dialed another one.

The phone rang a few times before someone picked up.

“Oh, how come Ms. Calloway has the time calling me?”

“What are you talking about, aren’t we friends?”

“Cut to the chase, what do you need? Do you think I don’t know you after three years?”

Leah smirked, “It’s nothing major, I just want you to cooperate with the Melendez Group.”

“The Melendez Group? You’re joking, right! That’s not up to me!” The man gasped, I’m nothing in the eyes of the Melendez family.”

“Don’t worry about that, I can definitely get you to work with the Melendez Group! I’ll take responsibility for any losses your company suffers.”

The man paused, sounding puzzled, “Why are you so keen on cooperating with the Melendez Group, can I know why?”

“No”

“I have my reasons, you just need to help me! If it works out, I promise you, I can get you three collaborations with the Melendez Group.”

“Wait… have you set your sights on someone from the Melendez Group?” The man sounded visibly upset, “Leah, what do you take me for? You were my girlfriend for three years, and now you want me to help you getting another man?”

Leah shrugged nonchalantly. “There’s nothing between us! Don’t make it sound like you ever loved me.”

“You…

“Enough with the chit–chat, are you in or out?”

“So, who’s your target? A shareholder of the Melendez Group? They could all be your father!”

Leah smirked, “No.. my target is Emmett.”

When Clara returned to the office, she thought she would be swamped, but Ricardo had already sorted out all her files, even arranging Emmett’s schedule for the next day.

“Ricardo, you’ve really outdone yourself!” Clara, holding the files and pushing open the door to Ricardo’s office, said, “As a token of my appreciation, how about I treat you to dinner?”

“It’s alright!” Ricardo hurriedly waved his hand, ‘Mr. Melendez is very good to me. I should help out more when you guys are in trouble! Plus, how dare I go out to eat with you? If Mr. Melendez found out, he wouldn’t let me off the hook”

Clara immediately closed the door, “Keep your voice down, I don’t want anyone else to know about my relationship with Emmett!”

This made her feel very uncomfortable, as if someone was always plotting against her from behind.

“Oh.. sorry!” Ricardo said apologetically.
