Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 613

Aiden was starting to get nervous. He couldn't stop himself—he picked up the phone and called Richard.

If anyone could change the boss's mind, it was Richard.

Richard showed up fast. When he heard Clara had run off, his brows pulled together, but then a slow grin crept across his face.
