"Hand it over."
Clara shook her head vehemently, "No way! This, this, this is mine..."
Emmett's eyes narrowed, fixed on her face.
Judging by how she's shaking like a leaf, could it be that she's been in touch with Elio again?
"Yours? How can I know you didn't steal it from the Melendez family?"
"It's not true!"
Clara's eyes darted around, looking for any chance to escape.
There was no way Emmett was going to see the pregnancy test.
Absolutely not!
With each step Emmett took forward, Clara retreated, until she was cornered with no way out.
"Hand it over."
"No!" Clara could only brace herself and refuse, "Why do you want to pry into my privacy? Just because I'm a maid in the Melendez's household doesn't mean I can't have personal belongings. This is mine, if I don't want to show you, I won't!"
Emmett's face darkened further. She was aware of the palpable tension, but she couldn't even fathom his reaction if he saw the pregnancy test!
Clara knew that she was no match for him if he decided to snatch it away. But where could she hide such a large object?
"Clara, you'd better hand it over while I'm still not angry."
