Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

Chapter 178

“Hey, what are you scared of? It’s just the two of us here, no one else! The food in this hotel is top- notch, we can sit down and chat about our collaboration, how great is that!”

Taylor frowned, “Even if it’s just two guys, if the media wants to spin a story, they can still speculate a lot.”

“Don’t worry! I didn’t spot any paparazzi on my way here! If something does happen, I’ll step up and explain for you!” Mr. Quintin draped his arm over Taylor’s shoulder, giving him no chance to leave, “Give me a chance, try the food here, how about it?”

Since he was so insistent, Taylor couldn’t really say no.

He nodded reluctantly, “Alright, thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Quintin”

“Oh, you’re too politel Come, show Mr. Atwood to his seat!” Mr. Quintin waved at his secretary and smiled at Taylor. “I’m going to wash my hands, I’ll be right back.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Taylor nodded, “Okay.”

Mr. Quintin briskly left the restaurant and headed straight for the guest rooms.

He rang the doorbell and Leah quickly opened the door.

“What are you doing here? If Taylor or the Melendez family see you, do you want us both to fall into trouble?”

T’ve left Taylor downstairs, but I’m a bit uneasy I have to ask you, whats your plan and why involve Taylor? He’s no fool, he might see through my act! Tell me everything, so I can have peace of mind!”

Leah waved him off, “You don’t need to know! As long as Taylor agrees to dine with you, you can buy some time! What I want is for the media to catch him leaving the hotel!”

Mr. Quintin was taken aback, “What? I just promised Taylor there wouldn’t be any media! Why didn’t you tell me?”

“If I told you, could you still carry out the plan normally? Leah scowled, “You have nothing to do with Taylor. When the problem breaks out, just say ‘I didn’t expect it’. The Atwood family will be too busy dealing with their own scandal to care about you!”

“You…you are using me!” Mr. Quintin’s face was clearly disgruntled, “I’ve done so much for you, but you treat me like a tool! Leah, have you ever truly loved me?”

1 wouldn’t sleep with someone I don’t feel for! Whether we’ve slept together or not, you should know, right?”

Mr. Quintin looked at her, his expression softening a bit.

“So, after this is over, we…”

“We’re over too! I’ve already said, I’m going to marry Emmett! I’m not interested in anyone but him.” Leah smiled cunningly, “You may not have me, but…if | succeed, you’ll have the protection of the Melendez family! Isn’t that better for you than having me?”

Mr. Quintin frowned and was about to speak.

“You better handle Taylor! If you can’t sort him out today, all our plans will fail!”

“I don’t understand, if you want Emmett, why go after Taylor? He has little to do with the Melendez Group, are you sure you got the right guy?”

Leah waved her hand dismissively, her red nails catching the light, “I won’t get the wrong person, I can…solve the problem thoroughly”
