Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel Chapter 63

It's nine o'clock at night.

Taylor was nearly frozen stiff outside, but there was still no sign of the familiar figure he was waiting for.

He began to pace impatiently.

"Mr Atwood, let's head back."

"I need to see her today!"

"But they might have left already! Melendez's company has a back door! If she doesn't want to see you, you won't find her!"

"Then you better get someone to wait at Melendez's back door! I need to see Clara!"

The mystery of her identity intrigued Taylor more and more.

The moment he saw her, his heart rate spiked!

It was as if they had a very intimate past...

"Mr Atwood, it's already late! How about we come back tomorrow?"

His secretary was helpless. It was clear that Melendez's offices were empty, but Mr. Atwood insisted on waiting.

"No, I'll wait here today."

"There's no one in there! Look, the lights are off! The old lady has called you home many times, let's go back Mr. Atwood! The old lady is going to worry about you again!"

Taylor frowned, his tone softening slightly.

"Fine! Tomorrow, send more people here. We need eyes on both the front and back doors! I need to see Clara, to find out who she really is."

"Understood, Mr. Atwood. Don't worry."

After Taylor got in the car, his mother called. "Are you back yet?"

"Um, on the way."

"I heard you went looking for Clara. Why do you want to find her?" Teresa's voice was filled with displeasure, "Didn't I tell you? You and Clara are just acquaintances, why don't you believe me?"

No wonder she was avoiding him!

After hanging up the phone, Taylor told his secretary, "From tomorrow on, there's no need to look for her. If she doesn't want me to disturb her, then I won't."

"Alright, Mr Atwood."

Taylor felt a sudden intense pain in his heart, as if something had been brutally ripped out.

It was an abrupt, suffocating pain.

...

Clara was practically shoved into the car, all her belongings quickly packed up by Ricardo.

In just two hours, the room she was renting was empty.

Clara had to admit, Ricardo had some serious skills to have worked for Emmett for so long!

His efficiency was truly admirable!
