Chapter 25
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
First thing in the morning. Clara spotted Emmett already in the office and humed over to report her itinerary Emmett listened silently making Clara feel like she was talking to herself âOh, by the way youâre going on a business trip this weekend do you need me to pack your bags in advance?â
âThis weekendââ
Emmett furrowed his brows, suddenly recalling his plans to go to the amusement park with Alden.
âUm, yesâ Clara nodded. âMr Melendez, any changes?â
âCancel it.â
âWhat?â
âIâm going outâ
Clara pouted, feeling a bit miffed, but kept her smile on. âAlright, Mr. Melendezâ
Just as the was about to turn away Emmett suddenly spoke, âYou free this weekend?â
âMe? What can I do for you. M: Melendez?â
âIâm taking my son to the amusement park this weekendâ
So what?
âCome with us At AW Corporationâs conference room As soon as Taylor stepped out of the room, his secretary hurriedly stopped him âMr Atwood, I have some leads on the person youâre looking for Hearing this Taylor immediately stopped, âWhat leads? Did you find out who she is?â
The secretary quickly handed him a document with several photos, âNot exactly, but I found her image from surveillance footage of several stores Taylor looked down at the woman in the photos, so familiar yet he couldnât recall_ âSheâs been frequently seen around Liberty Avenue. All these shops are on Liberty Avenueâ
âLiberty Avenue?â Taylor raised an eyebrow, âSo, she might work at the Melendez Group?â
Liberty Avenue wasnât a dining or shopping area it was filled with various companies, with the largest one being Melendezâs building *Statistically speaking, that seems likely Taylor gripped the documents, âI see you can go nowâ
âAlright, Mr. Atwood âOh, and cancel all my meetings this afternoon I have to go out. Let the vice president handle those that canât be canceled.â
âWhere is Mr. Atwood going?â
âTo find this womanâ
After a full day of work, Clara didnât even have time to catch her breath as she ran to pick up her son from kindergarten.
Thankfully, the teachers knew her situationâ and kept Alex occupied with a slide, so she wasnât the last parent to arrive.
Once home, Clara gave her son a bath, hurriedly tidied up the house, then sat down at the computer to work. As soon as she sat down, a message came from an unfamiliar account on the companyâs internal chat Software Clara quickly opened it and it turned out to be from the account of the CEO!
Wasnât that Emmettâs father?
[Youâre Emmettâs secretary, right?]
[Yes]
[Can we meet tomorrow?)
Clara stared at the screen, doubting whether the account had been hacked. He actually suggested meeting in person?
Although she was hesitant, she still replied politely [l be in my office during working hours. Please feel free to drop by anytime]
See you tomorrow then Clarabit her lip, unable to stop her imagination from running wild Could the CEO have some special âideas about her?
She immediately shook her head. âWhat am I thinking? All will be revealed when we meet tomorrowâ
After all, she didnât have an outstanding figure nor a pretty face, she was perfectly safe There was nothing to worry about.
