"I..." How on earth could a man ask Emmett for money? Isn't that just asking for trouble?
"Speak." Emmett glanced at the woman next to him out of the corner of his eye. She looked thunderstruck. "I'll pay you back today," he said. "But don't let me catch you stirring up trouble again."
"Got it! I won't never do that again!"
"Matt, pay him."
Matt nodded obediently. "Yes, sir."
Before Clara could react, Emmett had pulled her into the car!
It wasn't until the car door closed that she snapped back to reality.
"Thanks... really, thanks for today! Don't worry, I'll pay you back for the money you paid for me!"
"No need." Emmett poured himself a glass of red wine with his slender hand, sipping it delicately. "We won't be seeing each other again. Matt, let her out at the corner ahead."
"Yes, sir."
Upon hearing this, Clara frowned. "This isn't a small amount of money, and I’m nobody to you. How can I accept your money? How about you give me your bank account number. I'll repay you monthly, with interest!"
"I don't have a bank card."
Matt, who was driving, whispered, "The bank is owned by the Melendez family."
Clara swallowed hard, flustered by the sudden display of wealth.
After a few seconds of silence, she declared, "I have principles. I can't just accept things from others! Even if you're loaded, I can't just—mmph!"
Her words were cut off as two thin lips sealed hers!
Clara was shocked. He... he's kissing me! Emmett is kissing me!
