Chapter 176

At first, Emmett thought Clara would come over soon, but to his surprise, after several meetings, Clara was still nowhere to be seen.

After finishing the work at hand, he decided to find Clara himself.

He pushed open her office door-

Only to find Clara engrossed in her design sketches, as if she hadn’t heard anything outside.

Emmett walked over and lightly touched her shoulder, “Still busy?”

“Ah Clara was startled and looked up at him, “When… when did you come in?”

*Just now, you looked so focused, so I tried to be as quiet as possible. Didn’t mean to startle you though” Emmett glanced at her design sketch and gently said, “Didn’t Ricardo find you? I asked him to pass a message, for you to come to my office. I waited for you for quite a while, you didn’t show up. so I had to come find you myself.”

“Mr. Ricardo… I didn’t see him! Maybe we missed each other because of today’s schedule.” Clara felt a bit embarrassed and turned her face away.

The truth was, she had just gotten back less than ten minutes ago, how could she have bumped into Ricardo!

The main reason was that Leah had been crying, even threatening to commit suicide! Since she was already there, she couldn’t just leave Leah alone.

So…

“By the way, why were you looking for me?” In order not to let him notice her doubts, Clara changed the subject.

“It’s about your design sketch! I plan to use your architectural design in the new development project

Hearing this, Clara was both surprised and delighted.

“Really?! Mine?”

“Yep.” Emmett nodded with a smile.

“But…” Clara felt worried again, “My skills are not up to the level of a real designer! I’ve been self– learning all these years, without any systematic education. I’m afraid there might be some omissions, there might be problems I didn’t foresee! Building architecture is different from designing clothes. clothes can be altered, but once a building is erected, it’s set!”

Emmett raised his hand and lightly flicked her forehead.

“That’s why I wanted to see you alone! I want to explain this to you systematically, tell you what you need to pay attention to in the design.”

“You personally?” He’s the CEO of the company, does… does he have that much time?

“In our company, all those good at design are men, there’re no women.” Emmett smiled, “I don’t feel comfortable with you being alone with other men, I’m worried you guys might develop feelings.”

“What, you’re not happy with me teaching you?” Emmett raised an eyebrow.

Clara quickly shook her head, “Of course not! I’m thrilled! I’m a newbie in this industry, having your guidance is like hitting the jackpot!”

Seeing her so excited, Emmett felt that investing some time in her was worthwhile. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Well, starting from tomorrow, come to my office first after you get to work.”

“Alright!”

Emmett smiled, “You focus on your design sketch today, we’ll go over the details tomorrow.”

Emmett paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, “By the way, where… where were you earlier? Ricardo said you weren’t in the office when he went to find you
