Burn Those Who Burned Me novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86

Ethan cleared one of the tables and pulled a chair out for Clara. As she sat down, she noticed him pulling up a food delivery site.

“Are you hungry?”

His question broke her train of thought.

“I’m sorry?”

“Hungry…as in dinner? I’d like to start discussing some things with you and it’s already

almost five o’clock.”

“Oh. Well, sure. Dinner would be great.”

Ethan’s POV:

Ethan smiled passively. Something in his heart stirred at the thought of her eating dinner with him. Suddenly he felt nervous. ‘Would this classify as a date?‘ He wondered as he began looking at takeout places. Shaking his head as if to clear his thoughts.

‘Get yourself together Ethan! This is a business dinner like any other time!‘

Ethan pushed back his intruding thoughts as he handed Clara his phone. By now, Clara was rolling up her sleeve and putting her glasses on as she pulled out a stack of journals. Taking his phone, she looked at the different restaurants, finally settling on a diner that specialized in burgers.

“How about here?”

Ethan took his phone back. Puzzled, his eyebrow arched.

‘Burgers? Of all the places.‘

Ethan lightly chuckled while nodding in agreement.

“Sure, though I’m not exactly sure what to order, I haven’t exactly had a burger and fries before.”

Clara’s eyes bulged. She could hardly believe it.

‘Who hasn’t had a burger and fries? Has his life really been this privileged?‘

Slightly giggling, she took Ethan’s phone back and began to place the order.

“Well, if you trust, how about I order for the both of us.”

Ethan smiled and nodded his head. While Clara was placing their food order, he began pulling out more of his research.

While they waited for their food, Clara opened up her research journals and began discussing her recent medicinal creations with Ethan. As she explained the complex way she was able to create a possible cure for the common cold which ultimately led to her cure for cancer, Ethan couldn’t help but be amazed at this remarkable young woman.

For the past few years, many people praised Ethan Taylor for achieving global success with his biochemical corporation at the tender age of 23. But the truth was, Ethan never felt it was that much of an achievement. His father had already cornered the global market with NovaTech, and while Ethan never abused his father’s business connections, it was no secret who Ethan Taylor was. When he first introduced nano technology to aid and assist with major surgeries, it was only a matter of time before his company expanded globally.

This young woman however, she had none of the connections he had as her father was to stupid and arrogant to allow her to grow under his wing. Too scared she would outshine him. All she had was sheer determination and an immense amount of brilliance which led her to possibly being one of the most influential people he would ever know.

Clara looked at Ethan with a puzzled expression. His face looked as if his mind was somewhere else.

“Chairman Taylor? Did you hear what I just said?”

The sound of Clara’s question brought Ethan back to the present.

“I’m sorry, I was thinking about something. What did you just say?”

“Oh, it’s okay. I was just saying the food is here.”

Ethan turned around and looked at the door and then his phone. He’d just received notification the delivery person was at the door. Clara began to stand about to leave when Ethan gently grabbed her wrist.

“I got it. Please.”

Blushing.

“Sure. I’ll grab some plates and napkins.
