Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 352

Clara was feeling better too, but then he asked, "Is there really something between you and your boss, Dylan?"

"No way, we're just too different. I don't have feelings for him, though I do respect his business skills."

After the recent incident, she realized her place more clearly. She used to think she might be a bit different from other women, but that $500,000 check was like a wake-up call, snapping her back to reality.

"Z, my thing with him is strictly business. If you've heard any rumors, they're not true. I'm just focused on making the Bradford Group succeed; otherwise, I wouldn't bother with Mr. Dylan."

The arm around her waist tightened a bit, almost squeezing the air out of her.

She sighed, thinking it was his insecurity flaring up again, feeling like he couldn't compete with Dylan.

When Clara woke up, she noticed some snacks on the bedside table and a note he left.

She smiled, noticing her phone was back too.
