Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run novel Chapter 391

Clara really had no reason to say no. Even though she'd lost her memories, she and Simon had been childhood buddies.

She swung by the office first to chat with some top execs, making sure they kept a close eye on the Dawson family deal. With the ink barely dry on the contract, the project was about to kick off, and she wanted to be ready for anything else that might pop up. Plus, she had to drop by Kaitlyn’s studio to check out some up-and-coming artists they might sign, hoping to snag a little extra cash for the Bradford Group.

When she got back downstairs, she was surprised to see Simon still hanging around.

She opened the car door, eyebrows raised. “Why are you still here?”

“Your car got scratched by some kid, remember? It's still in the shop. I can give you a lift. I've got nothing urgent going on.”

Clara didn't fuss about it and hopped in without a second thought.

As they drove past their old high school, Simon broke the silence.

“Clara, not remembering your past could be tough. Do you want me to fill you in on the good old days?”

Clara didn’t say no, so he gave a small smile, but before he could continue, she asked, “What was I like before?”

A shadow passed over Simon’s face. He had no clue.

He had never really known her true personality. She always seemed so into him whenever they met, acting like she was head over heels.

Now he knew it was all just a front.

He’d been caught up in his own little bubble, thinking he was something special.

Outside of their meetings, he really didn’t know what Clara got up to, and neither did the Bradford family. Everyone just saw Clara as the girl hopelessly chasing after Simon.

But she’d played them all for fools.

His grip on the steering wheel tightened, his expression darkening. “Of course, you were amazing. You always had your own opinions, were a great cook, and super helpful. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be friends with Megan—you’ve done a lot for her.”
