Love You Enough to Leave You

Chapter 211 Welcome Baby Party 2

Plenty of distinguished guests were present at Tony’s welcome baby party. Besides the usual corporate bigwigs, there were also a few government official couples. The guests were either wealthy or powerful or both. It showed how prominent the Clintons were.

Tiffany was decked in a gorgeous outfit to join the party.

“Wow, I’ve only seen those people in the news. I can’t believe I’m seeing them all here!” Tiffany was in awe.

Amelia gave a half-hearted smile. “This is the first time I’ve met them in real life. I might’ve been married to Oscar for over five years, but I rarely accompanied Oscar to formal events like this.”

“They only talk about business and political stuff. You should stay away from them lest they bring a bad influence on you,” Tiffany pursed her lips and remarked.

Amelia merely smiled without saying anything.

Tiffany took a glass of wine and uttered, “Babe, let’s take a seat there. Mrs. Clinton is worried about you, so she told you not to socialize with the guests. Let’s have a bite at the snack table.”

Amelia inclined her head in reply.

They chose a sofa in a corner and sat down. Tiffany had a plate of snacks from the snack table.

“Babe, try this.” Tiffany handed her a slice of cake.

Amelia shook her head. “I’ve taken some soup before the party began, so I’m not hungry. If you’re starving, I can ask the maid to prepare some food for you.”

“I’ve already eaten before coming here, but the snacks look really tempting. I couldn’t resist,” Tiffany muttered as she stuffed the food into her mouth greedily.

Amelia chuckled and gave her a drink. “Eat slowly. Don’t choke.”

Tiffany’s cheeks were bulging. She chewed a few times before gulping down the drink.

After giving her a napkin to wipe her lips, Amelia inquired, “Tiff, what happened to you? You’re wearing an elegant dress, but acting as though you hadn’t eaten in days. People might think you’ve been starved by the Clintons!”

Tiffany hastily swallowed the food and waved her hands. “Babe, you have no idea how crazy Shannon was. She called me five times a day to get me to finish the manuscript! She even threatened to come to me if I didn’t hand it in on time. To meet her deadline, after visiting you at the hospital in the day, I had to write at night. Last night, I only finished work at four in the morning and went to bed so I get to attend the welcome baby party. Five hours later, she woke me up with a freaking phone call! You have no idea how mad I was. Look at my dark eye circles! I’ve lost so much weight. Ugh, this is so annoying.”

Amelia felt bad for her. “If it’s too much for you, just let Ms. Shannon know. It’s important to earn money, but she can’t torment you. Why don’t I ask Oscar to hook you up with another publishing company?”

Tiffany gave a dismissing wave. “I’m fine, Babe. I just needed to rant. Don’t take me seriously. Shannon is a good partner to work with. She might be a workaholic, but I find her amiable usually. If I sign up with another company, I have to waste time getting along with my new editor. That’s too hassling.”

Amelia parted her lips to say something when she spotted Oscar coming over to them.
