Too Much To Bear My Love

However, Amelia only smiled at her. “Ms. Yard, if there isn’t anything else, I’ll be taking my leave. I still need to work in the afternoon; I do have an office job. I can’t possibly have as much time as a great pianist like you.”

Staring at her, Cassie commanded, “You haven’t said what your terms are for leaving Oz. You’re not allowed to leave.”

Giving Cassie a look she would give to an idiot, Amelia replied, “Ms. Yard, you’ve got the looks, the body, a good family, and a fantastic career. You’re almost perfect. Are you telling me you’re afraid of a woman like me, who’s utterly unaccomplished?”

Cassie choked on Amelia’s words before she huffed, “I’m not scared of you. I just don’t want Oz to be around a depraved woman like you.”

Amelia grinned. ”You’re Oscar’s beloved. He’ll listen to you, so tell him to divorce me. If he shows me the divorce papers, I’ll sign them right away. I won’t hesitate at all.”

With that said, Amelia took her bag and left with her head high.

Glaring at Amelia’s retreating figure, Cassie hissed, “Don’t be too proud of yourself, Amelia Winters.”

A week later, Carter summoned Amelia to his office.

“Mr. Scott, are you looking for me?”

Carter took out a file and handed it to her. “Amelia, it’s been eight days since you’ve joined the company, and I’ve managed to get a place for you for the training in Saspiuburg. If you’re interested, sign here. It’s rare for any company to have a six-month design training, so it’s best that you seize this opportunity.”

After reading the document, Amelia beamed, “Thank you, Mr. Scott. I’ll be joining the training.”

Carter shook his head dismissively and said, “No need to thank me. I’ve arranged a studio apartment for you and hired a housekeeper as well. Don’t worry, she’s an honest lady who’ll take good care of you.”

“Mr. Scott, that won’t be necessary. I’ll make the arrangements myself,” Amelia promptly rejected. She did not want to owe Carter too much, for it was difficult to return a favor.

“Amelia, we’re friends, and I’m your kid’s godfather. This is something I should do for you. Please just accept it,” Carter insisted. “Or do you not see me as your friend?”

“Mr. Scott, I know we’re friends, but it’s best if we draw lines for certain things. I don’t wish to owe you too many favors.”

With no choice, Carter relented, “I’ve asked my friend to look for this housekeeper, so is it all right for you to pay for her services, then?”

Amelia nodded. If she were to reject him too many times, she might make things foul between them.

Putting down his pen, Carter continued, “Amelia, I’m willing to do these for you, so don’t feel pressured. You know how I feel about this. If you really get a divorce, I hope you’ll give me a chance.”

Amelia only spared him a glance before muttering, “Mr. Scott, if there isn’t anything else, I’ll return to my work.”

Carter nodded.

Then, Amelia left with the file in her hands.

The design department was busy as always. Amelia only mulled over the moment for a while before diving back into her work.
