Chapter 190
Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)
Two hours after the meeting ended, he was about to leave when his secretary suddenly approached him and whispered, âMr. Taylor, we received a report about you todayâ
Intrigued. Taylor asked, âIs it good or bad?â
7t might be⦠scandalous, the secretary replied.
Taylor went back to his office and sat down, âLet me see it.â
The secretary immediately brought over the report, âOur media partner sent this over this morning!
Since we have a close relationship with them, they didnât publish it right away but let us see it first.
They said⦠if we donât want them to release it, they wonât, but we need to pay some⦠[ees.â
âLet me see it.â Taylor frowned, and he was taken aback as he read the first line of the report. âIs this about me and Clara?â
The secretary nodded, Yes. The report says they spotted Clara at the cornpany that day, and you were also called over by Mr. Quintin.â
âSo Clara was at that company that day too!â
âMr. Taylor, I find this a bit strange. The secretary paused, then continued, âI remember that day you and Mr. Quintin were only scheduled to discuss collaboration matters, but Mr. Quintin suddenly took you to that company I remember you even emphasized to Mr. Quintin your concerns about potential scandals, and he assured no one would take photos. But⦠this still happened! Does Mr. Quintin have some ulterior motive against our company?â
Taylor thought for a moment. âI donât think this is targeted at meâ
For him and his company, this piece of news wouldnât really cause any harm.
There were no photos of them together, no concrete evidence.
âSo⦠is this targeted at Ms. Calloway?â
âI believe so,â Taylor answered, âTry to get in touch with Clara, but keep it under wraps. Donât let Emmett know. And preferably⦠donât let Clara know that I want to meet her.â
The secretary looked puzzled, âBut⦠the scandal is pretty serious already. If you meet her again, it will only fuel the fire. If the media catches you, thereâs no washing your hands clean of this.
âAre you questioning my decision?â Taylor asked.
The secretary immediately shook his head, âI wouldnât dare. Iâll do whatever you tell me to.â
âGo ahead, Taylor waved his hand dismissively.
The secretary nodded and as they reached the door, asked, âMr. Taylor, the media is still waiting for our response.â
âIâll let you know after Iâve met Clara. Have the media wait a few days, Iâll compensate for any losses.â
âGot it.â
After the secretary left, Taylor looked at Claraâs picture in the report and started feeling a headache coming on.
He quickly massaged his temples and felt a bit better.
What connection does my lost memory have with Clara? What on earth happened between Clara and me in the past?
And this time, who is trying to harm Clara behind the scenes?
Could it be Mr. Quintin?
Taylor paused, picked up his phone, and dialed Mr. Quintinâs number.
Mr. Quintin answered the call promptly.
âHey, Mr. Atwood, whatâs the matter?â
