Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 176

At first, Emmett thought Clara would come over soon, but to his surprise, after several meetings, Clara was still nowhere to be seen.

After finishing the work at hand, he decided to find Clara himself.

He pushed open her office door--

Only to find Clara engrossed in her design sketches, as if she hadn't heard anything outside.

Emmett walked over and lightly touched her shoulder, "Still busy?"

"Ah!" Clara was startled and looked up at him, "When... when did you come in?"

"Just now, you looked so focused, so I tried to be as quiet as possible. Didn't mean to startle you though." Emmett glanced at her design sketch and gently said, "Didn't Ricardo find you? I asked him to pass a message, for you to come to my office. I waited for you for quite a while, you didn't show up, so I had to come find you myself."

"Mr. Ricardo... I didn't see him! Maybe we missed each other because of today's schedule." Clara felt a bit embarrassed and turned her face away.

The truth was, she had just gotten back less than ten minutes ago, how could she have bumped into Ricardo!

The main reason was that Leah had been crying, even threatening to commit suicide! Since she was already there, she couldn't just leave Leah alone.

So...

"By the way, why were you looking for me?" In order not to let him notice her doubts, Clara changed the subject.

"It's about your design sketch! I plan to use your architectural design in the new development project."

Hearing this, Clara was both surprised and delighted.
