Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 180

Clara cocked an eyebrow. That explained why Nicholas got all worked up when he laid eyes on Scarlette. From what she overheard, it seemed like Nicholas had been secretly smitten for ages. Then, Scarlette made the first move and they got together. But she dumped him and quickly moved on with Morgan.

As the heir to the illustrious Greenard family, Nicholas wasn’t one to be toyed with. So, the gossip about him and Scarlette not getting along was actually just him trying to grab her attention.

Scarlette wasn’t someone you could easily rattle. She kept her cool and managed to leave Greenard Group to follow her career dreams, all while being lovey-dovey with her new guy. Naturally, Nicholas was crushed.

Clara just stumbled upon this hot gossip, leaving her feelings all tangled up. As she wheeled Dylan out of the restaurant, her mind was still buzzing, and she couldn't resist asking.

“Is it really possible to hide your feelings for someone you like? Scarlette lived with him for so long, could she really have missed his signals? I think the reason a crush stays hidden is because the other person just isn’t interested enough to confront it, leaving you to stew in your unrequited feelings.”

After saying that, she noticed a change in Dylan’s demeanor. Quickly, she softened her tone, “Of course, I’m just speaking hypothetically.”

As they got in the car, Dylan suddenly chuckled, though it was hard to tell what he meant by it. “Maybe you're right. A crush stays a crush because the other person couldn’t care less to acknowledge it.”

Clara sensed something was off with him, but she didn’t know how to cheer him up.

As they drove back to the Ferguson Corporation, things took a sudden turn. They neared a corner and a woman darted out. Clara slammed on the brakes in a panic. The woman was tossed a few feet but got back up, hobbling like she was being chased by a ghost.

Clara turned to Dylan. “Mr. Dylan, please stay in the car. I’ll go check on her.”

She stepped out and saw the woman limping away fast. Clara rushed after her. “Are you okay?”
