No Sex for Six Years Because of Her? I'm Done novel Chapter 81

**TITLE: My Heart Waited Too Long and Choosing Freedom**

**Chapter 81: Welcome On Board**

As soon as Tim finished his words, the playful glimmer in his eyes vanished, replaced by a serious demeanor that caught Amelia off guard. “Ms. Harlow—no, I should address you as Director Harlow from now on. Effective immediately, you are Stardale’s Design Director. This means you, Mason, and I will be working closely together.”

He paused, letting the weight of his statement sink in before continuing, “Now, as someone who has almost faced ruin due to your friend, I feel compelled to offer you a piece of advice. Keep your relationship with him strictly professional. Don’t allow yourself to entertain any other thoughts.”

A knot formed in Amelia’s chest at his words. She looked up at him, her brow furrowed in confusion. “Why would you say that?”

Tim exhaled deeply, his expression shifting to that of a sage who had witnessed the many trials of love. “Listen, I know Mason well. He’s not just handsome; he’s also wealthy, and for someone your age, that combination can be perilous. However…”

His family placed great emphasis on social status, yet they had never arranged a business marriage for him. The most plausible explanation? He was already devoted to someone and had remained loyal to her for years.

Amelia fought to suppress the uncomfortable wave of emotions bubbling inside her. When she lifted her gaze again, her expression was composed.

“Mr. Clem, please don’t worry about me,” she said with a hint of sheepishness.

“I won’t. In fact, I’m actually married.”

Tim’s jaw nearly dropped to the floor at her declaration.

His eyes widened in disbelief, and even his gold-rimmed glasses threatened to slide off his nose. “What? You’re—wait, you’re married? You look so young; I assumed—”
