Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 287

Clara often found herself trying to decipher his cryptic thoughts, leaving her with no choice but to repeat herself.

“I can't go to Azure Shores, sorry about that.”

“You have to.”

She furrowed her brows, considering quitting altogether, when he added, “Aaron is back.”

“Who’s Aaron?”

“Lincoln’s brother. He’s not as easygoing as Lincoln. He’s digging into Lincoln’s business, and I’m getting you out of here because his interrogation tactics are brutal.”

Clara squinted, “What’s that got to do with me?”

“Clara, he’s going to find you because the meds Lincoln gave you were from Aaron.”

Seeing his serious expression, Clara couldn’t help but ponder deeply.

With her current situation, she definitely couldn't afford to mess with anyone from the Ferguson family.

And if Dylan said Aaron was a tough nut to crack, sticking close to him seemed like the safest bet.

But why Azure Shores?

Azure Shores was a long way off, and with Dylan being under scrutiny, who knew if Aaron would come after him?

She wasn’t thrilled about sharing a ride with this guy either; lately, she’d sensed something odd about him.

“Alright, I’ll go, but Mr. Dylan, I’ll take the train. Your high status won’t permit that, so let Aiden drive you instead.”

She was about to walk out of the office, “Aiden said it’d be a week-long trip, so I’ll head home to pack a few changes of clothes. I’ve already bought my train ticket, so let’s meet at Azure Shores. It’s remote, with only one five-star hotel, so we’ll catch up there.”

As she reached for the door handle, half her body already out, she heard him say, “Is being with me that unbearable?”

Clara froze, reluctantly closing the door again.

“Mr. Dylan, I thought some things didn’t need to be spelled out. You’ve been acting odd lately, so naturally, I want to avoid any misunderstandings. I don’t want the higher-ups thinking I’m climbing the ladder through you, nor do I want Cedric to think I have ulterior motives. Most importantly, I don’t want to get dragged into the Ferguson family’s drama, so whether you’re joking or have other intentions, I have every reason to decline.”
