Clara gave a gentle knock on the door, only stepping in once she heard Emmett’s response.

The scent of alcohol filled the room and she frowned slightly, “Mr. Melendez, are you drinking on the

job?”

“What if I am?” Emmett stood up, pulling her in by the waist, “If you don’t want me to, then-”

“No, go ahead!” Clara, guessing what he was about to say, quickly handed him his drink with a smile,

“Have as much as you want. Best if you drink till you

pass out.”

Emmett chuckled helplessly, “Am I that disappointing?”

Clara blushed slightly, “What on earth are you saying in broad daylight!”

You’re as bad at pretending not to know as you are at lying!”

Clara knew she couldn’t out–argue him, so she didn’t bother. “Did you call me over just to watch you

drink?”

“Of course not.” Emmett guided her to sit down and handed her a document, “Take a look at this.”

Clara took it, opened it up…

It was a project plan from AW Corporation.

She glanced at Emmett, not understanding his intentions.

“This is…?”

“AW Corporation is planning a new real estate project. They’re thinking of teaming up with the foreign

MF Group to finance a large–scale residential business district.” Emmett took a sip of his drink, “Did

you spot any issues in this plan?”

Clara hesitated, flipping through the first few pages.

“Mr. Melendez, this is AW Corporation’s business. Why am I looking at this?”

“You’ve known Taylor for a while now, right? If this collaboration happens, AW Corporation might take a

huge hit.”

Upon hearing Emmett’s words, Clara quickly scanned the document more thoroughly.

The plan seemed well–constructed, but… she noticed a problem!

“There’s no clear indication of who the supplier is!”

Emmett grinned, admiration flashing in his eyes, “Exactly! You’re just as sharp as I thought.”

*If the supplier is chosen by the MF Group, then AW Corporation will be nothing more than a stepping

stone, with all the decision–making power in the

MF Group’s hands! They would control every detail of the project, even the price of the properties.”

Clara furrowed her brow, slightly confused.

She’s known Taylor for so long, he’s not the type to make this kind of mistake!

He was always very cautious in school, never acting recklessly.

“Do you have any thoughts on this?”

“… What could I possibly have to say? I don’t work for AW Corporation.”

“Can you resist the urge to warn Taylor?” Emmett stared at her.

His gaze was deep, making it impossible to decipher his true intentions.

“Why should I be the one to warn him? Taylor and I are just old acquaintances! Emmett, you’re testing

me, aren’t you?”

“If you see it as a test.”

“But why are you always on guard with me, constantly testing me?” Clara really didn’t understand

Emmett, “You’ve hinted multiple times that I should cut ties with Elio, now you’re using Taylor to test

me. You still don’t trust me, thinking I might do something bad, right?”
