Chapter 232
Who the hell can handle this?
“Please… I really enjoy making design sketches, give me this chance! Can I knock off early today? I’ll get to bed early, make up for the sleep I lost yesterday!”
Seeing her like that, what else could Emmett do but agree? In this world, Clara might be the only one able to make him compromise.
Once at the office, Clara handled some paperwork, and then Ricardo delivered Emmett’s schedule.
“Mr. Melendez is going to U-city for an inspection today?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yes!” Ricardo nodded, “This trip was supposed to happen a few days ago. It’s been postponed so many times. But today he must go there.”
Clara tried to probe, “How long will he be gone?”
“A round trip to U-city will take at least five or six hours!” Ricardo finished speaking and glanced at Clara, laughing, “You won’t be able to haveLambertnch with Mr. Melendez today! But he should be back by tonight.”
“Haha…it’s okay, I’m not that hungry today.”
“Seeing how lovey-dovey you and Mr. Melendez are really makes me envious!” Ricardo pouted, “It’s a pity I’m too busy with work, I don’t have time to find a girlfriend! I’ll have to ask Mr. Melendez for some emotional compensation, or maybe he can introduce me to a girlfriend!”
Clara laughed, “You don’t know how many women there are around Mr. Melendez?”
“Right! Seems like that hope is impossible.” Ricardo waved his hand, “I’ll go get busy!”
“Okay.”
Watching Ricardo leave, Clara took out her phone and dialed Elio Milburn.
“I should have time in an hour.”
“Then let’s meet in an hour.” Elio’s voice was very low, seemingly troubled.
Clara was a little worried, “What’s wrong? Is there a problem?”
“None.”
“But your tone is off!” Clara bit her lip, “Spill it, I can try to think of a solution! You’ve always helped me, give me a chance to help you!”
Elio chuckled, “Sure, you can leave Emmett and marry me, that’d be helping me!”
“…Elio, that joke isn’t funny at all.”

“Alright.”
After hanging up, Clara frowned. She wasn’t sure if it was her intuition or something else, but she felt like something was off with Elio today!
On Elio’s end, after he put down the phone, Leah Calloway handed him a glass of red wine.
“You’re about to see Clara, you must be in a good mood, right?”
“…I don’t like seeing her this way.” Elio took a sip.
“Why are you so picky?” Leah scoffed, “You want this woman, but aren’t willing to do whatever it takes! Bro, then you can just wallow in your sadness alone!”

Elio glanced at her before walking away from the window, “Remember your promise! After I take Clara away, you can’t have any plans for her! If you want Emmett, I won’t stop you, I don’t care how you get him, but when it comes to Clara – you absolutely cannot harm her!”
