Chapter 178
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
âHey, what are you scared of? Itâs just the two of us here, no one else! The food in this hotel is top-
notch, we can sit down and chat about our collaboration, how great is that!â
Taylor frowned, âEven if itâs just two guys, if the media wants to spin a story, they can still speculate a lot.â
âDonât worry! I didnât spot any paparazzi on my way here! If something does happen, Iâll step up and explain for you!â Mr. Quintin draped his arm over Taylorâs shoulder, giving him no chance to leave, âGive me a chance, try the food here, how about it?â
Since he was so insistent, Taylor couldnât really say no.
He nodded reluctantly, âAlright, thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Quintinâ
âOh, youâre too politel Come, show Mr. Atwood to his seat!â Mr. Quintin waved at his secretary and smiled at Taylor. âIâm going to wash my hands, Iâll be right back.â
Taylor nodded, âOkay.â
Mr. Quintin briskly left the restaurant and headed straight for the guest rooms.
He rang the doorbell and Leah quickly opened the door.
âWhat are you doing here? If Taylor or the Melendez family see you, do you want us both to fall into trouble?â
Tâve left Taylor downstairs, but Iâm a bit uneasy I have to ask you, whats your plan and why involve Taylor? Heâs no fool, he might see through my act! Tell me everything, so I can have peace of mind!â
Leah waved him off, âYou donât need to know! As long as Taylor agrees to dine with you, you can buy some time! What I want is for the media to catch him leaving the hotel!â
Mr. Quintin was taken aback, âWhat? I just promised Taylor there wouldnât be any media! Why didnât you tell me?â
âIf I told you, could you still carry out the plan normally? Leah scowled, âYou have nothing to do with Taylor. When the problem breaks out, just say âI didnât expect itâ. The Atwood family will be too busy dealing with their own scandal to care about you!â
âYouâ¦you are using me!â Mr. Quintinâs face was clearly disgruntled, âIâve done so much for you, but you treat me like a tool! Leah, have you ever truly loved me?â
1 wouldnât sleep with someone I donât feel for! Whether weâve slept together or not, you should know, right?â
Mr. Quintin looked at her, his expression softening a bit.
âSo, after this is over, weâ¦â
âWeâre over too! Iâve already said, Iâm going to marry Emmett! Iâm not interested in anyone but him.â
Leah smiled cunningly, âYou may not have me, butâ¦if | succeed, youâll have the protection of the Melendez family! Isnât that better for you than having me?â
Mr. Quintin frowned and was about to speak.
âYou better handle Taylor! If you canât sort him out today, all our plans will fail!â
âI donât understand, if you want Emmett, why go after Taylor? He has little to do with the Melendez Group, are you sure you got the right guy?â
Leah waved her hand dismissively, her red nails catching the light, âI wonât get the wrong person, I canâ¦solve the problem thoroughlyâ
