Chapter 55

Emmett showed up at Clara’s place, his presence in the tiny room seeming to shrink the space even more.

“When are you moving to my place?”

In a few days, I guess!”

“Tomorrow”

Clara frowned, “I need some time to pack! I still have time on my lease here and I’ve already paid the rent!”

Emmett plopped down on the sofa, picking up a finance book from the coffee table, “You into this stuff?”

Tm not really into it, I’m just trying to learn something I mean, how else am I supposed to be a good secretary if I don’t know anything?”

Emmett smirked and responded, “If you’re interested in finance, I could teach you myself” Clara quickly declined, “No, not I can manage on my own! I wouldn’t want to waste your time! Emmett insisted, “You’re my wife, I should be doing this.”

He suddenly got up and headed for the bathroom, and Clara hurriedly followed. She felt anxious, fearing he might find traces of Alex that she hadn’t yet managed to erase.

After all, Emmett’s visit was out of the blue! She was totally unprepared! Trying to change the subject, Emmett asked, “Do you live here alone?“,

Clara nodded and replied, “Yeah!” Emmett continued, “Don’t you have a son?”

responded, “He was taken away by my ex husband’s family”
