Love You Enough to Leave You novel Chapter 136

“Mr. Hisson called just now, so I picked up.” Amelia’s words struck Tiffany like a lightning bolt. Her hand froze for a while as she put the food on the table. She gave off a rigid laugh and tried to sound natural. “Did he say anything?” Amelia continued looking at her phone as a subtle smile played across her lips. “Tiff, it seems like you’re hiding a lot of things from me, aren’t you? Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?” Tiffany arranged the food on the table and tried to play dumb. “I don’t understand what you’re saying, Babe.” The smile on Amelia’s face slowly faded as she locked her gaze at Tiffany. Tiffany really did not like her behaving like this. “Babe, stop doing this to me. You know I really can’t take you looking at me like this.

I’ll tell you everything, okay?” Amelia crossed her arms. “You’d better come clean this time. We’ve been friends for so many years. It’s not like I’ll do anything to harm you.” “Alright. Let’s eat first. I bought some of your favorite snacks. I’ll go grocery shopping later. I’ll make you some chicken soup later. You’re too thin for your own good. Your baby is already seven-month-old and your limbs are still so skinny.” “Don’t change the topic,” Amelia warned as she ate away. Tiffany took some food herself and mumbled as she munched, “Babe, I didn’t.” “From your boss’ voice, I can tell he’s our age.

His voice is so magnetic, so I guess he must be an attractive man. But someone clearly said he was short, fat, and ugly. You should at least do him some justice,” Amelia said. Tiffany choked and coughed furiously when she heard her. Amelia quickly got her a glass of water and passed her some tissue before patting her on the back. “You okay?” Tiffany took a sip of water and waved her hand lightly. “I’m fine. I was just shocked.” “There must be something going on between the two of you. Tell me, how long has this been going on?” Amelia interrogated. Tiffany broke out in a fit of an uncontrollable cough again. She stared at her friend and cried out, “Babe! Can you stop doing that to me?”

Amelia shrugged and shot her a cheeky grin. “Alright, I’ll stop, but you’ll have to tell me everything. Are you guys still at first base? Or second, or third?” Tiffany rolled her eyes at Amelia. “Babe, how did I not realize you’re actually that nosy. Did something get into you today? Or have you been hiding this side of you all this while?” “This is my true self. I’m just so curious about other people’s lives,” Amelia replied wittily, blinking her eyes at her. “Oh, by the way, I’ve already made an appointment with him. We’re meeting him at six. We need to talk about your contract. And of course, I need to see for myself this man who stole your heart away. There must be something special about him that attracts you.

You’re completely immune to handsome men like Oscar and Carter.” Tiffany’s food fell from her mouth onto her plate as she stared at Amelia. “Are you kidding me, Babe?” “He called just now, and I’ve already promised him. He’s your superior, so it’s not like we can back out, right?” Babe, I didn’t know you’re this cunning. Tiffany could not believe this was the Amelia she knew. “Why not we skip grocery shopping. We’ll eat out for dinner instead. I really want to meet him,” Amelia insisted. “Babe, there’s really nothing going on between us. Our relationship is purely professional. Don’t you think it’s too much to meet him privately after work?” Tiffany asked. “Even if there’s really nothing between you two, you still have to meet him to talk about work.

If he’s really canceling your contract because of the Yards, I’ll talk to him as a Clinton. I’ll let him know that you have me as your backing.” Tiffany was moved by Amelia’s words. “Babe, don’t get all cheesy with me. I’ll blame it on you if you make me cry.” “Finish up. We’ll go for a good meal tonight. After all, it’s his treat. We should just go,” Amelia said, passing her some food. Tiffany thought about it and finally nodded. “Tiff, if you really like him, you should let him know,” Amelia suggested. But on second thought, she changed her mind. “Fine. Let’s just wait for him to take action.

The fact that he called you means he doesn’t see you just as his employee. He’s a busy man. He doesn’t need to waste his time and energy on a mere author like you.” “I’m not sure if I should take this as a compliment, Babe.” Amelia raised her brows and blinked her eyes slowly as if she expected Tiffany to know what she really meant. “Babe, you’ll know we’re not of the same world when you see him. He’s prince charming in a fairy tale whom every girl dream of. He’s perfect, handsome, successful and he comes from a good family. Yes, I’m an independent woman who’s able to fend for myself, but I’m still a Cinderella in everyone’s eyes.

The fact that she was a romance novel writer showed that she had a longing for love, but she was aware of the harsh reality at the same time. On one hand, she was dreaming about meeting her prince charming; on the other, but her dream was suppressed by reality. Hence, Amelia really was not sure how these two conflicting forces would affect Tiffany when she finally met her Mr. Right. When the clock almost struck six, Amelia sent Derrick a text and told him the place she and Tiffany chose. A terse reply darted back swiftly. “Sure. See you in thirty minutes.” Tiffany glanced at his message and pursed her lips. “Seriously, all the successful people behave the same way. He’s just like your husband.”
