Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 524 Intentional Disclosure

Jennifer remained frozen in front of the company’s entrance. She looked down at the hand with which she slapped Amelia Winters earlier. Her mind was a mess right now. She worried that Oscar might go after her parents for trouble since he had witnessed her slapping Amelia.

Laura, Jennifer’s mother, was already in such mental disarray. Hence, Jennifer didn’t want to worsen things by pushing her already broken family further into an unimaginable nightmare.

After what happened to her mother, Jennifer was no longer the arrogant, self-righteous daughter of a wealthy family. She had learned to self-deprecate and not overestimate her importance.

“Ms. Larson.” A hand was waving before her eyes. She looked up and saw that it was the girl who always passed by her, but she didn’t know the latter’s name.

“Hi, Ms. Larson. My name is Rory Sanders. You don’t look well. Would you like to join me at the café nearby? Drinking coffee might help alleviate your mood. So, what do you think? Are you interested in joining me?”

It was then that Jennifer stared intently at Rory. The latter felt her heart skip a beat upon seeing Jennifer’s unwavering gaze.

“Sure.” Jennifer nodded, surprising Rory, who thought she would get turned down.

The duo then went to a café nearby. As it was after office hours, it wasn’t crowded. They picked a table near the window and took a seat.

The two had ordered lattes. When the waiter served the freshly brewed coffee, Jennifer stirred her cup with a teaspoon. By then, she had returned to her usual aloof and arrogant demeanor.

She felt that an entry-level white collar like Rory was only an ordinary woman and not of the same class as her. In truth, she merely joined Rory for a coffee to obtain some information from the latter.

“Are you close with Amelia Winters?” Jennifer asked.

“We work in the same

That person is now a supervisor, while I’ve become the laughing stock of the department. Do you still think she
