Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 133 Terminate Her Contract

Tiffany pushed the door opened and went into the office with the editor. Their gaze simultaneously fell on the man over at the working table.

He was buried in work when they entered. Although Tiffany could not see his face clearly, she could tell from his attire and style that he was a young man. He was dressed in a suit and tie and his hair was neatly brushed with hair gel. It went without saying that he was another one of those successful businessmen.

“Mr. Hisson, Tiffany’s here,” the editor announced.

He put down the pen in his hand and lifted his grumpy face.

Tiffany took in a breath of cold air when she saw him. She could not believe how someone could be blessed with such incredible looks. Not only were his eyes charming, but they also sparked with a hint of wistfulness. His lips pursed tensely below his pointy nose with a perfectly straight bridge. His long and black lashes flapped in annoyance as he drilled his gaze into both of them. Tiffany could not help but gasp. Any woman would fall for a man like him.

His complexion and clear skin could easily put any woman to shame. Although his appearance was elegant, he exudes a demeanor of beguiling masculinity.

Standing in front of an impeccable man like him, Tiffany could not help but feel weak and small. Not only did he have the looks, but he was also accomplished, and had an enigmatic air about him. He could well be a homme fatale.

Tiffany found him scary.

She was originally all worked up by the news, but now that she saw this man in person, she felt weak.

“Shannon, I’ll talk to her privately,” the man spoke, waving his hand.

Shannon cast a worrying glance at her before leaving. “Tiffany, you have a good discussion with Mr. Hisson. I’ll go back to work first.”

Tiffany nodded and Shannon walked out.

Now that they were left alone, Derrick beckoned her over. “Take a seat,” he said, toying with the ring on his middle finger.

Tiffany did as she was told.

She clasped her hands together nervously and mustered her courage. “May I know why are you terminating my contract, Mr. Hisson? I’m under the impression that we’ve been working well together.”

An enticing smile curved on his lips. “Would you come to my office otherwise?”

“Huh?” Tiffany opened her mouth slightly in confusion.

The smile on Derrick’s face deepened at her clueless face. “Tiff, did anyone tell you that you look cute?”

Tiff?

Tiffany could not even think straight. She simply could not believe what she just heard.

“What’s wrong?” His deep and hoarse voice shook her back to reality.
