"But could you not be so efficient at a time like this?"
"Uh... Mr Melendez, would it be convenient if we lived together?"
"It would be." Emmett glanced at her, "And it would be very convenient for work."
"But there should be boundaries between men and women!" The most important thing was, her freedom will be limited!
How could she keep in touch with Alex?
She felt like she could be found out at any moment!
"I'm not afraid of you trying any funny business on me." Emmett's thin lips moved slightly.
Clara felt helpless.
Yet, she was afraid that Emmett would do something to her!
This guy, he's got a dangerous vibe all over him, right?
"You're particularly chatty today," Emmett said and then shifted his focus back to the documents in his hand.
Clara had no choice but to accept the situation!
What else could she do at this point?
She quickly put her phone on silent, fearing that Alex would video call her any minute!
...
When they arrived at Emmett's private villa, she saw a few luxury cars from a distance.
This was what real wealth looked like...
Clara was stunned!
In her entire life, she had probably never seen so many top-of-the-line sports cars.
"Do you like them?" Emmett saw her gaze fixed on the cars, "Which one do you want? I can gift it to you."
Clara quickly refused, "Thank you Mr Melendez, but I don't want it! I can't drive! And wouldn't the maintenance cost for these cars be high?"
"That's impossible! How could your mom run into any bad guys?"
"You don't understand!" Alex was mainly worried about Emmett.
He was afraid that Emmett might bully his mom.
"Okay, okay, you still haven't eaten the hamburger I bought for you today! Go eat it! I'll have the nanny take you out to play later, okay? And as soon as your mom calls back, I'll come get you."
Only then did Alex nod, "Okay... fine! Make sure you keep me updated! My mom is a bit naive and easily bullied!"
"Don't worry, I know your mom's character very well! I'll keep calling her until she picks up."
"Alright!"
Once Alex was led away by the nanny, Elio's face became more serious.
Staring at Clara's number on his phone screen, he hesitated for a moment, then quickly sent her a text.
【What's going on with you? Reply to me, Alex is very worried about you.】
