Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 654 Getting Played Instead

While Jennifer was still guessing June’s next move, a young lady in her early twenties approached Amelia shyly with two glasses of juice. “Mrs. Clinton, I’ve seen you when you came to visit the production team with Ms. Winters. I admire your demeanor, and you’re so much prettier than most actresses. I wanted to talk to you, but I was afraid that you might look down on me. Since this is a celebration, do you mind having a glass of juice with me?”

Amelia smiled at the young and innocent-looking girl and replied, “Sure!”

Just as she was about to take the glass of juice offered to her, Oscar stopped her.

“Amelia appreciates your kind offer, but she’s not a fan of juice. You should drink them yourself,” Oscar said coldly.

The girl glanced at Amelia timidly in response. Her eyes were filled with helplessness, and she looked pitiful.

Amelia tugged at Oscar’s shirt before taking that glass of juice. However, Oscar took it from her hand and gave it back to the girl. After that, he took the other glass of juice on the serving tray for Amelia. “Here. Drink this instead.”

Amelia was amused, but she ended up drinking it, anyway.

The girl hesitated before gulping down the glass of juice she had offered to Amelia in the first place.

“Mr. Clinton, Mrs. Clinton, I’ll excuse myself now.” The girl forced herself to smile before she left.

Amelia glanced at Oscar and asked, “Oscar, she’s just a small-time actress trying a make ends meet in the entertainment industry. Since her life is difficult enough, why would you make it harder for her?”

“Do you think I was too harsh on her?”

“It’s not that. I just thought since this is a celebratory dinner, we shouldn’t ruin everyone’s mood. Tiff is enjoying the event as well.”

Oscar took a peek at June, who was drinking with Jennifer. “Amelia, you’re a smart woman, and you’re capable of dealing with all sorts of problems at work. However, you’re too kind compared to others.”

Puzzled, Amelia raised her gaze toward him.

“Silly woman. That young girl was fawning over June just now. Who doesn’t want to make a name for themselves in the entertainment industry? Although she’s young, that doesn’t mean she’s not ambitious. Do you understand what I mean?” Oscar explained gently.

In truth, he was not keen on exposing Amelia to the ugly side of human nature.
