Chapter 78
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
Isnât this⦠the same Ms. Parrott she bumped into outside Emmettâs office last time, only to be shooed away by him?
Back then she was still wondering what her relationship with Emmett really was!
âClara, right? Iâve been waiting a long time to slap you! You should know why Iâm doing this, right?â
Molly Parrott looked at her proudly, a hint of fierceness showing through her haughty face. Her heavy makeup made her look a bit scary.
Clora touched her stinging cheek, âWhat am I supposed to understand?â
âYouâre still playing dumb! What did you tell me last time? That thereâs nothing between you and Emmett, that youâre just a secretary and heâs your boss! Now you two are married and youâre still saying thereâs nothing?â
Clara was at a loss for words.
She had completely forgotten about this woman!
But this woman was really stubborn, coming all the way here just to slap her as a warning?
âIâm telling you, Emmett can only be mine! Heâs only with you to try something new!â
Clara frowned. She suddenly realized that this slap was all because of Emmett!
Even if she cried out in pain, it wouldnât help. If she didnât⦠it really hurt!
Emmett was just a troublemaker! Otherwise, why would she be slapped like this?
And she couldnât even fight back now!
She knew nothing about this womanâs background. If she came from a powerful family, Clara would really be in big trouble!
Clara gritted her teeth and swallowed her anger, âMs Parrott, I can overlook this slap, and I donât dare to make a fuss about it! But if you keep this up,! wonât let it slide! Iâm a secretary, Emmettâs secretary, not yours! If Iâm not doing a good job, itâs Emmett who should criticize me, not you!â
But as a woman, she felt a bit sorry for Molly Parrott. She might never have gotten any attention from Emmett.
So she chose to bear this slap.
âHa! Are you warning me? Youâre the one who did wrong, and Iâm just helping my future husband discipline his reckless secretary. Whatâs wrong with that? Molly Parrott sneered.
Clara was helpless, Your future husband? If I remember correctly, Emmett is currently my legally recognized husband! But Iâm busy right now and donât have time to argue with you. After all, Iâm just a secretary in the company! I donât have as much free time as you, Ms Parrott, to come all the way here just to slap me!â
With that, she turned to leave, trying to bypass Molly Parrott.
She had to finish her work quickly and then find Alex! Thinking about her son, she could withstand anything.
You canât leave!â Molly Parrott called out sternly, gripping Claraâs wrist tightly. Her long nails were almost digging into Claraâs flesh. âYou think I just came to slap you and leave? Iâm telling you, you have to make a promise to me today!â
âWhat promise?â
âWhen are you going to divorce Emmett!â
Clara was speechless, What does that have to do with you? Ms Parrott, youâre going too far! I have important things to do. Youâve hit me, and I didnât hit back. What more do you want?â
Molly Parrott clenched her fists, her eyebrows furrowed, âI want you to divorce Emmett, leave him as soon as possible! Disappear from Emmettâs life forever! I wonât allow any other woman by his side!â
Clara frowned, enduring the pain in her wrist, and said helplessly, âIf you think Emmett has changed, you should go to him! Why come to me? Iâm telling you, if you donât let go of my hand, Iâm really going to call security!â
âGo ahead and call, the security here is gone! Iâve sent them all away!â
âIn such a large company like Melendez, could all the security be just sent away?
Clara felt things were getting more complicated.
This Molly Parrott was clearly prepared!
Was she planning to kill me?
When this possibility crossed her mind, Clara immediately changed her attitude, becoming humbler.
