“Hey there.
Chapter 91
“You’re already there? Why didn’t you give me a heads up?” Emmett’s voice was calm and
devoid of any scolding.
This put Clara at ease a bit.
1 got busy calming the kid down as soon as I arrived, so I didn’t get a chance to inform
you” Clara glanced at puzzled Elio and walked to a corner to make a phone call “What’s
up?”
“No biggie, I just thought you got lost.”
“I’m not a kid, how could I get lost? If there’s nothing else, I’m hanging up!”
Emmett paused on the other end, “You seem a bit scared.”
Why does he always see through Clara’s lies?
“Why would I be scared?!” She coughed a few times, trying to sound composed, “If there’s
nothing else, I really need to go soothe the kid! He’s still crying.”

“No!”
Emmett said in a low voice, “Clara, don’t interact with other rnen!”
“I got it, I won’t cause any scandal for the Melendez family!”
“If anything comes up, call me. If you need money, tell me.”
Clara just wanted to hang up now, afraid that he might sense her emotions.
But Emmett seemed to do it on purpose and bluntly asked, “By the way, have you found
anything new about that little boy I asked you to investigate?”
Clara almost fainted in fear upon hearing this and broke out in a cold sweat.
“Why are you silent? You always seem a bit off when this topic comes up.”
“I just don’t know how to report it to you because I haven’t found any clues! And I’m
abroad now, so it’s even harder for me to get any updates!”
“Then I’ll have Ricardo look into it.”
“No need!” Clara’s voice rose a bit, “TII look into it when I get back! Ricardo has a lot on
his plate already, so let’s not bother him! This is my job. If he always has to do it, our
working relationship will sour.”
Emmett shrugged it off, “You’re the CEO’s wife, and he’s the secretary. There’s no need for
a working relationship.”
That won’t do. Once the contract ends, I’ll just be an employee!” Clara wouldn’t dare let
Ricardo dig deeper.
Ricardo had been with Emmett for years and was naturally excellent at his job. Otherwise,
why would Emmett value him so much?!
If he investigated, he’ll surely uncover everything about the kid!
“If I hear the word ‘contract from you again, you’ll face the consequences.
With that, Emmett hung up abruptly.
Clara stared at her phone, a bit stupefied
Why is he mad again?
“Who was that?” Elio asked as she hung up.

Clara put away her phone, “Nah, nothing! It was our CEO asking for when I can get back to
work.”
“You should’ve just told him you were quitting. You might need some time before you can
return.”
“Is there someone who can help you?” Clara pretended not to hear him.
“Yeah, I’ll sort it out, then you can come over. Don’t worry.” Elio sighed, looking at Clara,
“Are you really not considering marrying me?”
“Elio, now’s not the time for this. Can you stop joking around? We should drop this topic. If
Alex keeps hearing upsetting things, it won’t be good for him. He’s still young, so I don’t
want him to kpów too much too soon.”
Elio shook his head helplessly, “I think your son knows more than me!”
“Do you know your son planned to give you to me outright?” Elio couldn’t help but laugh
thinking about it, “What am I supposed to do when this kid grows up? I might be the only
one who can control him, but you won’t give me a chance! Clara, you’ll regret this!”
