Chapter 214
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
Of course, Badman Calloway would pull off something like this.
âAlright, letâs not think about these things today. Come on, letâs go shopping, consider it a treat from me for your hard work in the company.â
âYou canât say no to this treat. The companyâs always been pretty clear with rewards and punishments.â
Feeling cornered, Clara had no choice but to agree, Fine, but Iâm just going to take a look. Im not planning to get a new carâ
âWeâll cross that bridge when we get there.â
As Emmett was pulling Clara to head out, her phone pinged with a new message. It was a text from Elio.
Emmett caught the sound of the text notification, he asked her, âSomeone hitting you up?â
âOh, probably just spam, donât mind it.â Clara quickly glanced at it, deleted the message, and then walked out with Emmett.
Emmett had some doubts, but he bit his tongue and didnât ask.
At a coffee shop. Taylor ordered a cup of coffee, settling by the window to enjoy it slowly Watching the hustle and bustle outside, his mind was filled with Clara.
Before he left, he asked the doctor if there was any way to speed up his memory recovery, but the answer was no. Everything just had to take its course.
That answer left him feeling a bit bummed. After all, if his memory doesnât come back within a year, heâd really miss her.
âExcuse me, are you Mr. Atwood?â Suddenly, a female voice sounded beside him Taylor looked up to see a woman in a light blue dress. It was Leah.
âAre you the whistleblower for Starling Media?â Taylor asked.
Leah chuckled, âGuilty as charged.â
âNever thought the whistleblower would be such a knockout.â Taylor smiled, âI figured it must be a jealous woman.â
âAre you complimenting me or criticizing me? Leah laughed, âIf you donât mind, Iâd like to think itâs the former.â
Taylor chuckled, then waved over the waiter, âWeâd like to orderâ
âLemonade is fine, thank you.â Leah closed the menu and looked at Taylor, âMay I ask why you wanted to see me?â
âItâs about that news story.â Taylor got straight to the point, âTell me, what would it take to keep that story under wraps?â
Leah laughed, âOh, so thatâs it! Iâm afraid Iâll have to disappoint you today, as I had no intention of covering up that news.â
Taylor frowned. If you knew my intention, why did you agree to meet?â
Because I thought you you were here to discuss a collaboration with me.â
âOh? Collaboration?â Taylor was intrigued, âI donât see what we could possibly collaborate on.â
âYou were so in love with Clara, are you thinking of giving up on her now?â
Upon hearing this, Taylorâs hand holding the coffee cup paused slightly.
âYou know about my past?â
âMr. Atwood, your surgery after the car accident was performed by the Milburn family themselves. Leah gave a slight smile, âYou could say Iâm one of them! When you were abroad and brought into the Milburn family hospital, you were in a critical condition! I remember the surgery took two days, and it was a close shave saving your lifeâ
