Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 289

Clara Calloway quickly covered her face while saying, "No, nothing! I might just be feeling a bit hot."

"Hot? Could it be hot in this weather? Besides, we have air conditioning in the office." After suddenly connecting the dots, Ricardo replied, "Hold on, did Mr. Melendez just drop by?"

"..." Clara wished she could find a hole and crawl into it right now.

"Did I guess right?" Ricardo still hadn't entirely grasped the situation, mumbling to himself, "Mr. Melendez is really something, leaving just now but to have me come to ask you what you want to eat."

"Well...I'm not hungry, and I don't feel like eating anything. You go ahead! No need to bring me anything." Clara tried her best to change the subject.

"Mr. Melendez might not be happy about that! You should eat something! We're going to do a site inspection this afternoon. Are you coming?"

"Yes!" Clara blurted out, remembering her current situation, "Um...maybe not today. I’ll go next time."

Seeing her react this way, Ricardo felt a bit thrown off.

He initially thought Clara would come along. After all, she seemed really keen on it before.

"Okay." Ricardo turned around and walked out of her office. At the door, he suddenly realized!

Earlier...maybe Mr. Melendez and Ms. Calloway did more than just kiss, which is why Ms. Calloway's face turned red. So perhaps Ms. Calloway is feeling a bit weak now, so she declined!

Ricardo clapped his hands.

"Why didn't I think of that earlier? Good heavens...this, this is too exciting..."

...

Taylor Atwood was restless in his office.

He didn't even feel like holding today's meeting because Leah had sent him some surveillance footage from the hospital.

In the video, Clara was tugging at his mother's sleeve, pleading with her, only to be pushed down again and again. And then she got up, pleaded again, and got pushed down again...
