Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

Chapter 9

“…” How on earth could a man ask Emmett for money? Isn’t that just asking for trouble?

“Speak.” Emmett glanced at the woman next to him out of the comer of his eye. She looked thunderstruck Tll pay you back today, he said. “But don’t let me catch you slimng up trouble again.”

“Got it! I won’t never do that again!”

“Matt, pay him.”

Matt nodded obediently “Yes, sir”

Before Clara could react, Emmett had pulled her into the car!

It wasn’t until the car door closed that she snapped back to reality.

“Thanks… really, thanks for today! Don’t worry, I’ll pay you back for the money you paid for me!”

“No need “Emmett poured himself a glass of red wine with his slender hand, sipping it delicately. “We won’t be seeing each other again. Matt, let her out at the

comer ahead.”

“Yes, sir.”

Upon hearing this, Clara frowned. “This isn’t a small amount of money, and I’m nobody to you. How can I accept your money? How about you give me your bank account number. I’ll repay you monthly, with interest!”

“I don’t have a bank card”

Matt, who was driving, whispered, “The bank is owned by the Melendez family.”

Clara swallowed hard, flustered by the sudden display of wealth.

After a few seconds of silence, she declared, “I have principles. I can’t just accept things from others! Even if you’re loaded, I can’t just–mmph!”

Her words were cut off as two thin lips sealed hers!

Clara was shocked. He… he’s kissing me! Emmett is kissing me!

She could smell a faint fragrance on him, not like the sweat stench of other men. That handsome face was right in front of her, making her forget she should push

him away! Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

After a while, Emmett was the first to release her lips, saying coldly, “Consider this kiss a purchase”

He wanted to see if he only felt no aversion toward this woman.

The car quickly stopped at a corner Clara didn’t say a word until after she got out and watched the car drive away.

The car was out of sight when she finally blinked, weakly touching her lips. She wanted to ask, Mister Emmett. Can you buy a few more kisses?

This was probably the most valuable kiss she ever had!

When Clara got home, Aiden was studying at the table.

Upon hearing her, he immediately stood up, saluting, “Hello, mother”

“What are you doing?” Clara raised an eyebrow, slightly taken aback. “You’re actually studying on your own? And… You’re being polite? Alex, if it wasn’t for your face, I would have thought I mixed up my kid“”

Aiden swallowed hard, he was still a child after all, and his expression was a bit stiff.

As Clara walked into the room, she said, “I’m sorry, Alex. I might need to find another job. Melendez will definitely fire me this time.”

Melendez?

Aiden looked surprised instantly. “Why?”

“Because I messed up at work today. I borrowed a lot of money from Emmett without understanding the situation. Things might get harder for us, and I’ll need to save up to repay Emmett.”

“…My dad has a lot of money”

Clara froze. “What did you say?”
