Forbidden Captivity: Too Late to Escape

Chapter 318

Chapter 318

Clara wanted to ask if he was happy with things, but something stopped her. It felt like she was caught in a web

of danger, unsure of his thoughts. She swallowed hard, her nerves getting the best of her. As Aiden pushed

Dylan past her, she froze, intimidated by Dylan's commanding presence. It wasn't until they disappeared into the

elevator that she snapped back to reality.

Hastily, she rushed to the bedroom. Sarah was on the sofa, cheeks flushed and lips trembling with excitement.

Clara, clueless about what had happened, quickly asked, "Did he like you?"

Sarah blushed even deeper, her face and neck turning a shade of crimson. "I think so. He just kept staring at my

face without saying anything."

Clara felt a wave of relief wash over her. Dylan wasn't the type to stare, so maybe he really was impressed. As

for his quick exit, perhaps his emotions were just too intense. Even the most composed people can lose their

cool in front of someone they hold dear.

Sarah grabbed her hand, her excitement barely contained. "Ms. Clara, will | get to see him again?"

Clara had already given her ten grand to tide her over financially. Sarah was more than willing to skip payment

next time, just for another glimpse of him.

Clara, unsure of Dylan's feelings, didn't want to make any promises. She set Sarah up in another room at the

hotel, just in case. They exchanged numbers to keep in touch.

Leaving the hotel, Clara felt uneasy and tried calling Aiden, but he didn't pick up. She'd hoped to gauge his

thoughts, but that plan was a bust. Back home, she couldn't shake her anxiety. Was Dylan satisfied or not? Why

wouldn't he just say something?

Her worry lingered into the next day, and another call to Aiden went unanswered. She realized he was dodging

her on purpose. Did Dylan have a problem with Sarah? Was she not the right fit?

As she debated calling Dylan herself, fear gripped her. Just then, Ryan's call interrupted her thoughts, offering a

brief respite.

"Clara, Greysen is quietly buying up shares from other shareholders," he said.

If Greysen succeeded, the Bradford family's company would be out of their hands. Clara frowned. The execs

seemed to back Greysen, and if things didn't change, Greysen could becthe new CEO.

She quickly reviewed the Bradford Group's exec files. The situation was grim since they'd recently opposed

Ryan's rise to CEO. Ryan was at a loss, which is why he turned to her.

Taking a deep breath, she zeroed in on one key executive who held the most shares-seven percent. If Ryan could

secure those, Greysen's plans would be

halted.

"Ryan, focus on your duties. I'll handle the shares,” she reassured him.

Despite his exhaustion, Ryan wanted to stand by her, "Clara, | want to be with you on this, just in case."

"No need. You keep studying those documents and get everything down pat," she insisted.
