Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 299

"I haven't made up my mind yet; I’m just saying. Don't get your panties in a twist over it. I'm just letting them meet. I didn't say she's gonna tie the knot with our family or anything."

"Mmm..."

Sophia pursed her lips, "Look, I may not be your biggest fan, but for the sake of my son, I'll accept you as his wife. As long as you don't stick your nose in our business too much or fill my son's head with unnecessary nonsense, you can keep playing house with him."

Clara just kept her head down and continued her breakfast, not giving her the satisfaction of a response.

Sophia took Clara's silence as acceptance of her words, which pleased her. After all, it could push her plans forward.

After breakfast, she headed to the office.

Clara had been in the office for a while before Emmett finally showed up.

There was an urgent meeting first thing in the morning at the company, so Emmett barely had a break before he had to get back to the grind.

Seeing Emmett looking beat, Clara stood up and led him to sit down on the couch, "You look beat. Why don't you take a breather? Matt's coming to see you in a bit. I’ll let him know."

Emmett waved her off, "It's cool. I gotta be at the quarterly meeting today. The company found some discrepancies in the books. If I don't take it seriously now, it might set a bad precedent."

Clara began massaging his shoulders casually, "So, did you figure out who screwed up the accounts yet?"

"I've got Matt on it. He's been digging into a few people for me lately. I’m sure he'll get to the bottom of it soon."

Clara chuckled, then said, "Oh, speaking of which, I have a friend I need to meet today. She's a girl, and she's feeling down and wants to chat. Can I go see her for a bit?"
