Too Much To Bear My Love

Chapter 736 Going Bald

“Oh, no. I told you, I want to be friends with you,” Isabella said with a smile after she recomposed herself. “I knew you were a magnanimous woman and that you wouldn’t hold it against a small secretary like me, Ms. Walker,” Linda said with a smile.

Linda looked as if she was unobservant, but in truth, she could tell that Oscar didn’t like Isabella. That was why she was playing dumb with Isabella so that she wouldn’t lose her job.

At that moment, the waiter served them their food. Linda diligently took some food from the dishes and put them on Isabella’s plate. “Ms. Walker, please have some. If you have any food that you’d like to give to Mr. Clinton, you can just bring it over to the secretary’s office. We’ll bring it into his office for you. However, we can’t guarantee if he’ll eat it.”

Isabella gave a Linda a meaningful look.

Linda was still eating happily, acting as if she didn’t see how Isabella was looking at her.

“I get why the other secretaries say you’re a carefree girl. However, I don’t think Oscar likes someone who is silly. How did you even replace your previous namesake?” Isabella asked in a hushed voice.

Linda almost choked on her food.

She coughed several times before she could control the pain from that.

“Perhaps Mr. Clinton likes that I’m a down-to-earth person. I don’t have any other abilities, so I try my best to carry out the tasks he instructed to the best of my ability.”

“No, Linda. I don’t think so. Instead, I think you’re pretty smart. You know what you should and shouldn’t say, and you’re tight-lipped. Sometimes, you’ll even play dumb. As long as you report whatever Oscar does to me, I’ll definitely reward you well. What do you think about a condominium unit with four bedrooms and three living rooms in Tayhaven? Some office workers can only afford it after working for half of their lives.” Isabella decided to stop feigning ignorance as she tried to tempt Linda with money.

Linda wasn’t tempted at all. On the contrary, she felt more bitter about the whole thing.

Linda let out a dry laugh. “Please don’t make such jokes, Ms. Walker. I’m just a little secretary. There’s no way I can interfere with what Mr. Clinton does.”

“What? Is a condominium with four bedrooms not big enough for you?”

“No. It’s just that I don’t dare to offend Mr. Clinton. With a word from him, I may not be able to stay in Tayhaven anymore. When the time comes, I don’t think I can even afford to stay in a bathroom, let alone a condominium. Please stop making such jokes with me, Ms. Walker.”

Isabella had on an amused expression as she looked at Linda. “I only wish to know about Oscar’s whereabouts. Look at you. You act as if I’m going to eat you.”

This is far worse than eating me.

Linda only dared to think about that instead of saying her thoughts out loud.

“You really love to joke around, Ms. Walker. How can I, a little secretary, expose Mr. Clinton’s whereabouts? Please don’t make things difficult for me, Ms. Walker.”

“So, are you turning me down?”

“No, no. I wouldn’t dare. It’s just… I’m not brave enough. It’s too difficult to land a good job nowadays.”

“I’ll let you work in Walker Group, and you’ll get the same salary as you have now.”
