Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 540 I Want You To Leave Her

When Amelia returned to the office, Jolin was the first to rush up to her, nervously sizing her up from head to toe. Amused by her actions, she faked a casual attitude and asked, “What’s wrong, Jolin?”

Jolin took two steps back, suddenly bowed her head solemnly, and said in a low voice, “Mrs. Clinton, I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you.”

Amelia understood what she meant at once.

“You found out?”

“It was my dereliction of duty that allowed such a big incident to happen. When we go back, I’ll tell Boss all about it and accept the punishment.” Jolin hung her head in shame.

Amelia lifted her chin and said, “No, don’t tell Oscar. I don’t want him to know about me almost being hit by a car. Can you promise me that?”

Looking straight into her eyes, Jolin blushed and blurted out, “Mrs. Clinton, you’re really beautiful.”

Amelia was stunned for a moment and could not help but laugh. “Thank you.”

Rory was going to walk up to them, but Lydia was one step ahead of her.

“Amelia, are you all right? A security guard came upstairs and told us you were almost hit by a car. We were all worried sick about you. Even Mr. Franklin was shocked. We tried calling you, but you didn’t answer the phone,” she said worriedly.

Amelia reached into her bag to fish for her phone. Upon unlocking it, she found out that there were many missed calls. Yet, she did not hear her ringtone at all.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t hear it,” she apologized.

“It’s fine as long as you’re okay. Mr. Franklin asked you to head to his office when you return. He has something to say to you,” said Lydia.

“All right. I’ll go up then.”

Amelia wanted to take the elevator upstairs. To her surprise, Jolin followed at her heels in alarm.

“Jolin, go back to work first. I’ll just be upstairs,” she urged.

Jolin shook her head and refused. “I’ll go up with you, Mrs. Clinton. I’m worried that something will happen to you again. If that happens, I won’t be able to explain myself to Boss.”

Amelia was nonplussed.

She deliberately put on a straight face and said, “Jolin, if you insist on acting like this, I’ll tell Oscar to send you back because you’re interfering with my work.”

Jolin’s face fell. “Mrs. Clinton, do you hate me now?”
