Clara’s POV:

96

Summer break went by fast, before they knew it, the trio was getting ready for their first day of school. Clara was extremely excited, she couldn’t wait to see what the labs were like at Osha. Reading her syllabus as she walked to her first class, Clara accidentally bumped into someone.

“Oh, my gosh! I’m so sorry! I should have been paying attention!”

“No worries.”

Clara froze. Although she’d only heard that voice a few times, Clara instantly recognized

1. it.

Ethan Taylor.

As Ethan picked up the remaining papers, his eyes locked with Clara. He could feel his heart tighten as he stared at her, finally, he got to see her face to face. She was beautiful. Her thick long hair was tied into a neat ponytail revealing all of her face.

Ethan was speechless. So, this was the face of the little genius that could save many lives including his sister. Handing Clara her papers, Ethan cleared his throat.

“My apologies. Allow me to introduce myself, I-”

“Ethan Taylor.”

Clara cut him off. Ethan’s brows furrowed at the sound of her saying his name.

“So, you know who I am?”

Feeling slightly shy, Clara turned her head.

“I do. I saw a video of the gala.”

Ah.

That made sense. He knew it was only a matter of time before what happened that night got back to Clara. Ethan smiled sheepishly, placing his hand behind his neck.

“I’m sorry about that. I hope you can forgive me for interfering with your personal business.”

Clara’s eyes popped out!

“Oh, no! Please don’t apologize! I…Well you see, not too many people have ever spoke up for me like that before so thank you.”

Ethan could feel his heart pounding loudly, why did she have this type of effect on him.

Strange.

“Well, you most certainly deserve it and much more.

Clara could feel her ears reddening. Nervously, she gathered her papers and turned

around.

“Well, it was really nice meeting you Chairman Taylor. I have to get to class now.”

“Oh, yes of course. I’ll see you soon.”

Clara bowed her head and turned to leave. As if she forgot something, Clara turned back around.

“Oh, Chairman Taylor…Thank you! That jet…it was my first time flying in one!”

Her face beamed displaying her dimples and bright teeth. After thanking Ethan, she turned and rushed to class leaving Ethan Speechless.

“Boss.”

“She’s here!”

“Huh? Who’s where?”

“Clara Rouleau! I just met her!”

:

Owen was in shock. He’d never seen Ethan act like this over a woman before. Owen had known Ethan since middle school, and they had been friends ever since. Although many girls and young woman often liked him, because he was so fixated on his work, he never made time to focus on things like dating. It was interesting hearing him get so excited

about someone.

“Oh yeah, did she recognize you?”

“As a matter of fact, she did.”

Owen sat completely up in his chair. He hadn’t expected that response.

“How?”

Ethan let out a light chuckle.

“Apparently there was video of the gala.”

“Huh. I guess that makes sense. So, I take it she figured out you were the one that put her on the jet?”

“Yup. She even thanked me for it.”

Owen let out a nervous laugh.

“Well, that’s a first.”

Pause.

“Yeah, it is.”

“So, when are you going to tell her about why you want to work with her?”

“In due time. I’d like to at least get acclimated in Osha first.”

Owen paused for a moment.
