Chapter 265


    “Elio got hammered tonight.”


    “Seems like he’s really got the hots for you.” Emmett squinted. “Need me to squeeze out some time to


    meet him?”


    ra shook her head frantically and said, “No! Emmett, if you’re angry, you can blow up at me, but you


    can’t go after Elio! I’m the one who owes him; I didn’t exin our rtionship clearly and made him


    misunderstand; these are all my messes! It’s not his fault at all; you can blow up at me!”


    Emmett huffed coldly, “Did you think about me when you were protecting Elio?”


    “I have no romantic feelings for Elio! We’re just friends!”


    “But you’re aware of Elio’s feelings for you, aren’t you?”


    “I know! But isn’t it okay as long as I don’t feel the same way about him? Emmett, you’ve been around


    the block, and I believe you understand that what I owe Elio is hard to repay! Besides, he hasn’t done


    anything to hurt me; how could I just cut him off so easily?”


    Emmett looked into her eyes, fell silent for a moment, then said, “Forget it; I don’t want to argue about


    this! I’ll let it slide this time, but next time Elioes to you, you have to tell me!”


    “Okay!” ra nodded hastily.


    “Also, if Taylor contacts you, you must tell me.”


    Hearing Taylor’s name all of a sudden, ra was taken aback. How did the topic shift from Elio to


    Taylor?


    “Alright, I got it.”


    “I was nning to continue teaching you today, but we’re out of time now! Go do your thing; I have a


    meeting to attend.”


    ra nodded. “Then I’ll be off, Mr. Melendez.”


    She lowered her head and left the office, finally taking a deep breath.


    This kind of anxiety and fear-she didn’t want to experience it for a second! But rtionships were just


    thatplicated.


    Emmett was such a possessive guy…


    She didn’t even know what to do anymore.


    When ra got back to her office, it wasn’t long before Ricardo knocked and came in.


    “This is the report from the construction site today! Are you going to check out the siteter? If you are,


    I can go with you.”

    “Sounds good!” ra got up and took the files from him. “I’ve been thinking about the site; it’d be great


    if you coulde with me.”


    “Mr. Melendez asked me to keep youpany; of course I’ll listen!” Ricardo smiled, then suddenly


    lowered his voice and asked quietly, “Earlier, was Mr. Melendez really mad?”


    ra puckered her lips and sighed helplessly, “Yeah! Emmett chewed me out.”


    ‘But Mr. Melendez does this because he’s worried about you! He cares about you; that’s why he’s so


    concerned about where you go.”


    “I get all that.”


    “Don’t blow it with Mr. Melendez! I’ve been around him for a long time, and I’ve never seen him care


    about anyone like this! No matter if it’s men or women, he usually couldn’t care less! Plenty of women


    tried to get close to Mr. Melendez by all means, but he was never swayed. As a man, I really admire his


    self-control! A good man like this is hard toe by; you’ve got to cherish him.”
