My Great Escape Led Me to You (Emily Blair) novel Chapter 969

Emily Blair told Elizabeth Wilson to head upstairs and wait for her, then stepped aside to take a call.

“Hello? Who is this?”

There was a brief silence on the other end, only the sound of breathing coming through. “Sweetheart, I still can’t stop thinking about you.”

Emily’s expression instantly chilled. “Well, I can. I don’t miss you at all.”

She was about to hang up when Larkin Porter’s anxious voice cut in, “Wait, don’t hang up. I have something to say.”

Emily paused for a moment, then decided to let him speak. “Go ahead.”

Larkin lowered his voice, “Is your boyfriend with you?”

“He’s not here.”

“You sure about that?”

“Completely.”

Larkin gave a low, damp chuckle. “Since your boyfriend’s not around, why don’t you come out and have some fun?”

Emily’s tone was calm, almost bored. “Didn’t you get roughed up enough last time?”

She hadn’t made a scene earlier, mostly out of consideration for the company behind Larkin Porter—she didn’t want to stir up a bigger mess. But apparently, Larkin still hadn’t learned his lesson.

He laughed again. “Sweetheart, come over and give it your best shot. I like you feisty—the wilder you get, the more I want you. Ever since that night at the bar, I haven’t been able to get you out of my mind. So, what do you say?”

Emily was silent for a few seconds. “Fine. Tell me where.”

“Seriously?” Larkin sounded delighted. “Just tell security you’re here for Villa No. 8. I’ll be waiting.”

Emily’s voice was steady. “Alright. Wait for me.”

She hung up and quickly texted Elizabeth: **Got something to handle. Be back soon.**

Elizabeth replied with a thumbs-up emoji.

Emily grabbed her things and was out the door in moments.
