Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 616 An Illness That Requires The Company Of Family

As Cassie returned to the company building and arrived at the chairman’s office, she closed the door and entered a long discussion with her father. It was not known what she had told Charlie, but he ended up agreeing to see Olivia personally.

The woman was so delighted that she wrapped her arms around her father’s neck and kissed him twice on the cheek like a little girl.

A gentle smile finally showed on Charlie’s face.

“I’ve seen how hard you’ve been working, Cassie. I hope you’ll keep up the good work,” the man advised. “You’re our only daughter, so this business that your mother and I worked so hard to build will eventually be yours. We initially wanted to hand it over to June after you marry him, but since he’s returned to his own country and it seems like you both just aren’t meant to be, I’ll only be at ease letting you take over the company if you work even harder.”

“Don’t worry, Dad,” Cassie replied pretentiously. “I’ll do my best not to let you down.”

“That’s more like it.”

“Well, Dad, you should hurry up and make an appointment with Mrs. Clinton. You wouldn’t want your years of friendship with her to end just like that, would you?”

Charlie fell into thought as he heard that.

“Why don’t you call her now? I’ll help you with that.”

Charlie grew suspicious at how desperate she seemed. “Have you not moved on from Oscar?”

“Do you doubt me that much, Dad? He’s just a guy! Why would I still be into a guy who treats me like dirt? You know I have my pride, so what makes you think I’d keep letting him humiliate me?” Cassie huffed disdainfully.

“Really?”

“Stop worrying, Dad. I’m serious about taking over the company. I love performing, but I can’t keep doing that. I know I can’t keep idling away either. That’s why I’m doing my best to learn, so I can one day be ready to take charge.”

Charlie finally felt relieved.

“I’m happy to hear that, and your mother would be too. When you’re ready, I’ll step back and support you from behind. And when everything settles, I’ll take your mother around the world. She’s always worried so much about us all these years.”

Cassie pondered for a moment before speaking hesitantly. “Dad, there’s something I’ve been curious about for a while now. Can I talk about it?”

“Go ahead.”

Charlie’s expression immediately soured.
