Chapter 29

She didn’t hesitate for a second, grabbed her fites, and spun around to leave She never noticed Emmett behind het, his eyes fixated on her retreating figure Emmett was actually trying to swallow up Taylor’s company!

Clara carefully examined the document in the recording studio The document outlined a detailed plan even listing the expected time of acquisition AW was Taylor’s life’s work if it really got bought out by the Melendez family, wouldn’t all his efforts go down the drain?

Clara’s fingers hesitated over the document her lower hip caught between her teeth If she wamed Taylor he should be able to brace himself, right? He wouldn’t get bought out then!

But would this be considered leaking trade secrets?

Clara stared at the document, lost in thought This might be the most torn she’d ever been in her life In the Melendez Corporation’s conference room.

All the shareholders sat silently in their seats, waiting for Emmett Soon enough, he walked in with Clara Everyone stood to greet him, “Mr. Melendez‘

Emmett nodded slightly. “Hmm. Lassume you have all reviewed today’s meeting agenda?

“We have all gone through it Emmett glanced at Clara, and she immediately pulled out a chair for him “As for the acquisition of AW Company does anyone have any opinions?”

“I believe AW Company is currently one of the few competitors that can be considered a challenge for Melendez. If we can acquire it, it would not only reduce our competitive pressure but also showcase our strength to other companies.”

Emmett nodded slightly, intermittently jotting down some notes on the paper Clara, on the other hand, was biting her lip. She didn’t have a say in this meeting, but what would happen to Taylor if AW really got acquired?

She was lost in her thoughts, oblivious to the meeting’s end Until Emmett stood up and cleared his throat, “What are you thinking about during working hours?”

“Nothing, nothing at all”

Emmett raised an eyebrow slightly. “I noticed earlier that you had insightful thoughts on business analysis. What do you think about my acquisition of AW Company? is it possible for it to succeed?”

Clara lowered her head and hesitantly replied, “I think acquiring a competitor is not necessarily a good thing New competitors may emerge. If we keep AW Company, it can also help Melendez fend off some powerful adversaries Because AW Company has its fair share of enemies, and if it is acquired, those enemies might transfer their focus to Melendez Emmett arched his eyebrow “Are you genuinely considering Melendez’s interests, or are you considering this for Taylor’s sake?”

Clara was taken aback and quickly responded, “Mr. Melendez I have no relationship with Taylor “Is that so?” Emmett suddenly approached comering her in a corner of the conference room. They were so close that Clara could even feel his breath on her face dont like it when people lie to me.”

“Mr Melendez. Im just a secretary, and you know very well that my financial situation is not good! If I had any relationship with Taylor, how could I be in such a predicament? Besides. Taylor couldn’t possibly know someone like me, right?”

Emmett narrowed his eyes slightly “Clara, you know your lying face is quite unappealing”

“I dont care about your relationship with Taylor you better understand your position! You work for Melendez’s company, not AW! Clanfy your role”
