Two Times the Charm (Clara and Emmett) novel 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 polite! 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."

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?"

"I've left Taylor downstairs, but I'm a bit uneasy. I have to ask you, what's 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!"

"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 I 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."
