Chapter 162


    Aaron seemed a bit miffed after hearing this.


    “So why’d you let her help you, huh? She’s been acting all weird since she got back. What’s the real


    deal, Elio?”


    Elio just shrugged, “No biggie.”


    “Well, you better spill the beans, then!”


    “And what? You can ship Leah back home?”


    I ain’t worried about her going home! It’s good she volunteered to help ourpany. But I’m worried


    she’s gonna get swindled by some folks. She’s so naive, doesn’t have a clue!”


    Elio snorted, “Your daughter… naive?”


    Aaron’s face serious.


    “And what’s that supposed to mean? She’s your sister, and you talk about her like that?”


    “As long as she doesn’t mess with the happiness of the person I care about, we’re still family. But if she


    does… I won’t let her off the hook!”


    You–you’d ditch your own family for a woman? Don’t forget, she agreed to help you without a second


    thought!”


    Elio stood up, not wanting to hang around any longer.


    “Maybe you should focus more on your own daughter!”


    You-”


    Elio had had enough of this ce.


    He had never been a fan of these kind of shindigs.


    He left the banquet hall and headed straight for his car.


    He pulled out his phone, thinking about giving ra a call to remind her again.


    Nah…


    Whether ra and Emmett can be together, that’s up to fate! He shouldn’t meddle too much.


    If… if she wanted to break up with Emmett, Elio would be over the moon! If not, he’d just have to suck it


    up.


    After ra settled Leah and made sure she was asleep, she quietly closed the door and left.


    Back at the office, she saw Ricardo trotting over as soon as she walked in.


    ‘Miss Calloway, Mr. Melendez is looking for you! He wants you toe over.”


    This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “…Alright, I’m on my way.”


    She took the elevator straight to Mr. Melendez’s office.


    She knocked on the door and only entered after hearing Emmett’s voice from inside.


    Emmett, sitting behind his desk, smiled when he saw her. “How’s your friend doing?”


    “She had a car ident, but she’s okay now! Just a mild concussion and a few scrapes.”


    “I’ve never met this friend of yours. When will you introduce us? I’d like to know more about your


    world.”


    ra was taken aback!


    “My friend… she’s not really into meeting new people”


    –


    “Are you going to keep using that excuse?” Emmett looked at her, puzzled. “I get why you wouldn’t let


    me meet your son. But why are you keeping your friend away from me too? Is she, by chance, a


    special someone?”


    “Absolutely not!” ra quickly responded. ‘My friend would be nervous knowing you’re the CEO of the


    Melendez Group. We talked about it and she wants to meet you once she’s recovered. Don’t read too


    much into it.”
