Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 618 Watch Out For Jennifer

Carter found himself unable to sleep all night, and his thoughts kept wandering as he lay in bed. Maybe it was because of what had happened to Laura.

He had wanted to look for Amelia the next day, but alas, life was always unpredictable. With a phone call coming in and asking him to head to Saspiuburg, he could only postpone his plans to meet Amelia.

Thus, the man took a plane to Saspiuburg along with his secretary and assistant. They spent a few peaceful days there going about their own business.

“Mr. Scott, will we be heading straight back to the office, or do we get the others to rest at home and return to work tomorrow?” asked the secretary as soon as they returned from Saspiuburg and got off the plane.

“Everyone’s worked hard for the past few days. Take the next two days off and get some rest.”

“All right, Sir. We’ll be taking our leave then.”

After parting ways with his secretary and assistant, Carter adjusted his tie and hailed a cab.

Having done nothing but attend meetings of all kinds in Saspiuburg, he felt a little overwhelmed.

Leaning into the backseat of the cab, the man drifted off without realizing it.

“Sir? Sir! We’re here.”

Carter awoke from the cab driver calling out to him, and he snapped out of his daze right after opening his eyes.

“Keep the change,” he said coolly while handing the driver a large note before hopping out of the car.

Staring at the tall building before him, the man dialed Amelia’s number.

“Hey, Amelia. I just got back from Saspiuburg. Can we meet? There’s something I want to talk to you about.”

Before the woman gave a response, he quickly added, “Please don’t say no, Amelia. We can’t be together, but we can at least still be friends, right? You’re not going to turn down a friend’s invitation, are you?”

With him saying this, Amelia would either have a guilty conscience or be plain heartless if she were to turn him down.

“Okay,” she answered. “I’ll have a two-hour break at noon. How about we have lunch nearby?”

“Sure.” Carter breathed a sigh of relief. He was so worried that she would reject him without any mercy.

Now that they had come this far, they could no longer go back to the days where they would talk to each other about everything.

Carter glanced at his watch. It was now eleven-fifty in the morning, which meant he would be able to see her in another
