Crowned by the Man They Feared (Amelia and Jeremy) novel Chapter 619

Even if it was just out of consideration for the Carters and their long-standing relationship.

After pulling her thoughts back together, Amelia stretched deeply and decided to step out for a walk.

She had been sitting for most of the day and felt like her legs were going numb.

She was about to head to Josie's office when she spotted that girl sneaking around outside Harrison's office, peeking through the glass.

There she went again, acting lovestruck.

Amelia rubbed her forehead helplessly, then quietly walked up behind her and suddenly said, "Hey."

Josie jumped so hard her whole body shook. Her phone slipped from her hand and hit the floor with a sharp clack, nearly cracking the screen.

Clutching her chest, she turned around and saw Amelia. She lowered her voice, half angry and half startled. "Amelia! You scared me to death!"

"What are you doing here?" Amelia raised an eyebrow and glanced meaningfully at Harrison's closed office door. "Another ‘accidental' run-in with your Mr. Ramley?"

Josie was not embarrassed at all. She grinned mischievously. "I'm not pretending to run into him. I'm spying on him."

She pointed excitedly at the floor-to-ceiling window. "Look at that jerk. He didn't even close all the blinds. Isn't that basically inviting me to watch him?"

"Or maybe he just didn't feel like closing the blinds, and it has nothing to do with you," Amelia corrected gently, trying to tone down her friend's overconfidence.

"No way. I'm the only one in the office next to him."

Josie twirled a strand of hair and said shyly, "I think he wants me to make the first move."

"Sure. Whatever you say," Amelia replied dryly.

"Obviously!" Josie pouted. "I don't know why, but the first time I saw that jerk, he felt familiar. I swear I've seen him somewhere before. Maybe I lost part of my memory and forgot him, and now we've met again. Remember when I lost a chunk of memory when I was overseas? What if that missing piece was about him? No, it must have been selective amnesia. It had to be because of love. Because of a man!"

The more Josie talked, the more dramatic she became. "Stop, stop, stop," Amelia cut in quickly.

"You didn't have selective amnesia. You had a high fever for days after catching that virus, and now you're perfectly fine. You haven't forgotten anyone. And stop watching so many brainless soap operas. You're starting to lose touch with reality."

Amelia grabbed her by the arms and shook her gently.

She hoped to snap her back to the real world before she fully cast herself as the heroine of some dramatic love story.

Josie did not have many refined hobbies. Guilty pleasures, on the other hand, she had plenty.

Binge-watching shows and obsessing over handsome men were at the top of the list.

Modern dramas, historical dramas, fantasy shows. Once she started, she could stay up all night.

Sometimes Amelia even felt a little envious of her carefree, drama-filled life.

As she shook Josie, she sighed inwardly. This girl's brain always worked in the most unexpected ways.
