Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 264

Clara approached Emmett's office door and took a deep breath.

Before she even got the chance to knock, the office door swung open.

Emmett glanced at her, his lips parting slightly. "Come in."

Clara nodded and followed him in.

Emmett closed the door and settled back into his chair.

"Where did you go?"

"I went to buy skin toner." Clara felt a sense of guilt as soon as she lied, especially after Emmett's query. She was even more unsettled.

"Skin toner? Why did you go shopping without telling me? Also, when did you leave, where did you go, and which mall did you buy from?"

Clara felt flustered by his questions and kept her head down. "At the specialty counter in the mall across the street... Emmett, did I upset you? I'm sorry, I shouldn't have gone out during work hours!"

"You should know that's not what I'm asking."

"..."

"Did you go meet someone? I think you could just tell me the truth about this! I'm not restraining your freedom; I just want to know what you've been up to! Otherwise, you just suddenly disappear from the office! Who knows if you're in danger or just out shopping and dining? So do I go looking for you or what?"

"I'm sorry..." Clara kept her head down.

"I don't need an apology!"

"I will definitely not go out suddenly like this again; I'll definitely call you the next time I leave the office."

"So who did you meet this time?" Emmett's face darkened.
