get it! There’s no such thing as a sure thing in business, right? If you’re willing to help me out, I’m
already super gratefull”
“Don’t mention it! Remember when you risked your neck to help me against the Melendez Group?
That’s a bigger favor than anything I’m doing now. II you ever need anything back home, don’t hesitate
to reach out! Plus, you’re Ella’s sister, it’s only right that I look out for you”
Leah chuckled, “So, can I call you Clara? It feels kinda weird calling you Ms. Calloway all the time.”
“Of course.”
“Clara, you’re awesome! I don’t have any friends back home, you’re my first good friend!”
Clara responded warmly.
She thought back to when she was raising a child all by herself in a foreign land. Leah’s fighting her

If she can give Leah a hand, she should.
After hanging up, she quickly found the morning’s timber selection proposal and sent Leah all the
timber requirements.
Before long, she received a text from Leah.
“No problem, our timber can definitely meet the Melendez Group’s needs! Could you put in a good
word with Mr. Melendez?”
“I’ll do my best.”
Clara rubbed her temples after setting down her phone.
After all… she really didn’t have much confidence that Emmett would agree to the timber deal! He
cared about her, but work and personal feelings should be separate, she knew.
But Leah had helped her before, and if this deal goes through, it would benefit everyone. She didn’t
want to outright reject…
Screw it, she’d give a shot!
Maybe Emmett would agree.
Inside the president’s office, Emmett signed his name on a document.
“Be careful with this partnership. If there’s any sign of fraud from them, terminate the contract
immediately.”
“Understood.” Matt took the documents and was about to leave.
Emmett suddenly said, “Lay low around the office for a while, I need you to investigate these people in
secret.”
“Alright, should I keep in touch with the Atwoods?”
“Absolutely! Especially Taylor Atwood, I want you to find out what’s going on between him and Clara!”
Matt nodded, “Understood.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs he left, Emmett frowned at his computer, lost in thought..
Elio was under his control, and judging by Clara’s attitude, she didn’t seem to harbor romantic feelings
for him. But this Taylor… was a different story!
Clara obviously had feelings for him!
Emmett took a deep breath, feeling helpless.
He never thought he’d be upset over a woman! He remembered when he was studying abroad, after
being heartbroken once, he decided to keep his distance from all women. But then Clara barged into
his world.
Without her, he’d be living a carefree life, with no ties to the Atwood family.
Emmett got up, poured himself a drink, and then hit the intercom.
“Clara, come to my office”
“Oh… okay, I’ll be right there”
