Two Times The Charm Novel (Clara and Emmett)

Chapter 119

Elio sipped on his Coke as he made casual conversation.

Leah Calloway thought for a moment, “Well! I’m thinking about going back to my country”

Elio was taken aback, staring at her in surprise, “Going back? Why the sudden decision? I thought you said you had no plans to go back.”

Leah Calloway seemed unfazed by his reaction, “I feel like there’s not much for me here anymore. There are a lot of job opportunities there that align with my profession. Plus, I got an offer from a company there last year I want to give it a shot!”

“But Emmett’s settled down there”

Elio left the rest unsaid

Leah Calloway pretended to realize what he was implying and chuckled, “Don’t worry” we’re not even in the same city! Besides, I doubt Emmett wants to get any closer to me. He’d probably want to avoid me. He’s probably worried I’d mess with his marriage.”

Elio lowered his gaze, sipping his Coke in silence.
