Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 273

What else could Alex do besides shut up and take it?

"I get it."

"Start doing your homework! I'm going to check on Granny after I finish mine, then I'll come back and help you with whatever you don't understand."

"Sure! You better get going then."

As luck would have it, he could slack off a little.

Aiden saw right through Alex's intentions, "Wait till I get back; I want to see how much homework you've done! Don't you dare think you can play with your toys as soon as I'm out the door!"

...

In her room, Clara quickly changed clothes, showered, and reviewed the meeting notes.

To avoid disturbing her, Emmett went to the study to hold a video conference.

They both were busy for a few hours.

Emmett finished his meeting first, and when he entered the bedroom, he found Clara still taking notes seriously.

He took a closer look...

She had drawn several chart frameworks.

"You're rushing this... You've got plenty of time!" Emmett took the pen from her hand, "Go to bed early! You have work tomorrow and must accompany me to a cocktail party."

Clara was startled and asked, "Huh? What party do I need to attend?"

Her identity was known to only a few people!

"The Melendez family's old friend, the Flaherty family's heir, Whitlock Flaherty, is getting married, and I need to bring a date. I can't possibly... take another woman, can I?"
