Two Times the Charm

Chapter 25

First thing in the morning. Clara spotted Emmett already in the office and humed over to report her itinerary Emmett listened silently making Clara feel like she was talking to herself “Oh, by the way you’re going on a business trip this weekend do you need me to pack your bags in advance?”

“This weekend“”

Emmett furrowed his brows, suddenly recalling his plans to go to the amusement park with Alden.

“Um, yes” Clara nodded. “Mr Melendez, any changes?”

“Cancel it.”

“What?”

“I’m going out”

Clara pouted, feeling a bit miffed, but kept her smile on. “Alright, Mr. Melendez”

Just as the was about to turn away Emmett suddenly spoke, “You free this weekend?”

“Me? What can I do for you. M: Melendez?”

“I’m taking my son to the amusement park this weekend”

So what?

“Come with us

At AW Corporation’s conference room

As soon as Taylor stepped out of the room, his secretary hurriedly stopped him

“Mr Atwood, I have some leads on the person you’re looking for

Hearing this Taylor immediately stopped, “What leads? Did you find out who she is?”

The secretary quickly handed him a document with several photos, “Not exactly, but I found her image from surveillance footage of several stores

Taylor looked down at the woman in the photos, so familiar yet he couldn’t recall_

“She’s been frequently seen around Liberty Avenue. All these shops are on Liberty Avenue”

“Liberty Avenue?” Taylor raised an eyebrow, “So, she might work at the Melendez Group?”

Liberty Avenue wasn’t a dining or shopping area it was filled with various companies, with the largest one being Melendez’s building

*Statistically speaking, that seems likely

Taylor gripped the documents, “I see you can go now”

“Alright, Mr. Atwood

“Oh, and cancel all my meetings this afternoon I have to go out. Let the vice president handle those that can’t be canceled.”

“Where is Mr. Atwood going?”

“To find this woman”

After a full day of work, Clara didn’t even have time to catch her breath as she ran to pick up her son from kindergarten.

Thankfully, the teachers knew her situation” and kept Alex occupied with a slide, so she wasn’t the last parent to arrive.

Once home, Clara gave her son a bath, hurriedly tidied up the house, then sat down at the computer to work. As soon as she sat down, a message came from an unfamiliar account on the company’s internal chat Software Clara quickly opened it and it turned out to be from the account of the CEO!

Wasn’t that Emmett’s father?

[You’re Emmett’s secretary, right?]

[Yes]

[Can we meet tomorrow?) This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Clara stared at the screen, doubting whether the account had been hacked. He actually suggested meeting in person?

Although she was hesitant, she still replied politely [l be in my office during working hours. Please feel free to drop by anytime]

See you tomorrow then

Clarabit her lip, unable to stop her imagination from running wild

Could the CEO have some special “ideas about her?

She immediately shook her head. “What am I thinking? All will be revealed when we meet tomorrow”

After all, she didn’t have an outstanding figure nor a pretty face, she was perfectly safe There was nothing to worry about.
