Chapter 156
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
Do you want a kid?â
Clara was a bit taken aback. We already have Aiden and Alex, isnât that enough?â
âBut they arenât our biological childrenâ
Clara didnât reply âThe most important thing is what you think.â
Clara twitched her lips slightly. I believe having a child requires careful consideration! Can you let me think about it some more?â
âAlright.â Emmett grasped her hand, âLetâs go home for now, Alex and Aiden will be looking for you!
They rely on you a lot.â
âMhm.â
Emmett looked at the woman beside him, feeling a bit helpless.
This is the wife he chose, what else can he do?
In the car, Clara felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and decided to break the ice, âDoes the company still need timber?â
Emmett lifted his head from the papers, looking at her, Why the sudden interest?â
âNo reason⦠just a friend of mine has some lumber they want to dispose of! I figured our new project could use a lot of wood.â
âYou have friends?â Emmett seemed surprised.
Clara nodded, âYeah⦠someone I met abroad, theyâve been really good to me! But Iâm only mentioning this to introduce them, whether we can cooperate or not depends on the quality of the lumber they provide! You donât have to force a collaboration because of me.â
Emmett smiled, âIf youâre willing to vouch for them, then your relationship must be really good, of course, I will give them a chance! Arrange a meeting with your friend, I will have Ricardo talk to them! I have a lot of trust in Ricardo.â
âGreat! If I can facilitate this cooperation, it would be a way for me to repay her help! If not, Iâll find other ways to return the favor! But company matters, which affect the whole Melendez Group, canât be influenced by my personal issues! The procurement of lumber might lead to big problems, once there are issues, it will be a real pain.â
Emmett looked at her seriously analyzing the situation and couldnât help but laugh.
âYou are the lady of the Melendez Group, and I have a lot of faith in choices.â
your Clara looked up at him, âDonât put too much trust in me! I havenât been in the business world for long, even if I want whatâs best for the company, I might make mistakes.â
âI donât think so! I think youâre very intuitive about company matters! Just like when you saw the contract from AW Corporation, you quickly found the loopholes! And the people at AW Corporation didnât notice.â
âWell, that was just luck. Clara was a bit anxious.
Because Emmett brought up Taylor again!
She was scared she might say something wrong and make Emmett angry again.
âClara, youâre actually very talented, donât underestimate yourself! Iâve seen your design sketches for the new district, your architectural designs might not be perfect, but your innovative thinking and practicality are very impressive.â
Clara looked at him, a bit pleased, âReally? When did you see my design sketches?â
ââ¦Once when I went to your office, you werenât there.â
âYou went to my office behind my back?â
âI didnât sneak in! I walked in like I owned the place.â Emmett cleared his throat, âI was there for work, not because I missed you.â
