Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221 Busy

On the other side, Oscar was truly wronged even though he hadn’t shown up in three days. After he left the neighborhood that Tiffany was living in, he received a call while driving. As it turned out, someone had leaked vital information from one of the company’s projects. That particular project was worth millions, and Clinton Corporations would suffer greatly if their competitors took advantage of it. The company’s share price would surely fall drastically.

Upon learning that, Oscar hurried over to the company and asked for an emergency meeting. That conference lasted for five hours. He never got to eat before he had to lead his secretary, his assistant, and the rest of the group to Pillere.

Oscar could’ve called Amelia before he got on the plane, but he figured that she was still angry. She probably won’t pick up. That thought prevented him from calling.

After being stuck on the plane for a few hours, Oscar and his men got out of the airport and into a private car immediately. They made a beeline to the company that was collaborating with Clinton Corporations.

Oscar met with a bunch of executives as soon as he set foot inside the building. That meeting lasted for a few hours, and it was already one in the morning when Oscar finally had the chance to rest.

His secretary bought some food and heated it up before handing it to Oscar. She said, “Mr. Clinton, you haven’t eaten all day. Here, have some food.”

Oscar accepted the food and asked, “What time is it?”

“It’s almost one in the morning, Mr. Clinton.”

Oscar looked out the window and enjoyed the view in Pillere. He murmured, “The view in Pillere is beautiful at night. Can you see it, Amelia? If you’d like, we can come here on vacation someday. What do you say?”

Unfortunately, Amelia wasn’t beside him, so no one answered his question.

The secretary seemed worried when she stared at Oscar. “Mr. Clinton, is there something on your mind?”

Oscar held the box of food and stared out the window without saying a word. His secretary thought that he would not answer and was about to leave him to his thoughts when he voiced up.

“Linda, what do you think about Amelia?”

Linda was momentarily taken aback. It took her some time to realize that Oscar was talking about his wife. That was the first time Oscar ever mentioned Amelia, so Linda was surprised.

“Mr. Clinton, I don’t really know much about your wife, so I can’t really say anything. But since you’ve asked, I’ll just share my limited thoughts and opinion. From the outside, Mrs. Clinton is definitely a beautiful woman. She is sexy, exudes an exquisite aura, and is downright stunning. Naturally, that is just my first impression of Mrs. Clinton. We interacted a few times after that, and I can tell that Mrs. Clinton’s beauty wasn’t just superficial. She is very nice and smart. She also knows to never go overboard when dealing with matters. In conclusion, the two of you are good together.”

Oscar couldn’t help grinning a little. He then asked, “Who one is better—Amelia or Cassie?”

Linda felt like she was cornered. She had been working with Oscar for years and had witnessed with her own eyes everything that happened between Oscar and Cassie. She knew too much, and that was why she understood that there were some things that she couldn’t say aloud.

Linda hesitated.

It seemed that Oscar had seen through that, so he granted her the permission to be honest.

“Linda, let’s pretend we’re just old friends and are chatting. You have been working for me for years, and in a way, you are my close friend. You are an excellent partner at work and a friend whom I can talk to.”

Linda sighed a breath of relief.

She licked her lip a little before she answered, “Mr. Clinton, I’ll just give a quick and simple evaluation. Please don’t take it to heart if I said anything wrong. Ms. Yard is from a rich family, so her aura is something that most women couldn’t compete against. However, I don’t think that she is the right match for you. This is just how I feel, though. She is too artistic, and her ideas are too wild. Perhaps she is different when she is with you, but I feel like she is too proud when she interacts with anyone who is not of her social status. She definitely behaves poorly and mocks those who are from a lower social class. Her views and ideas are different from yours, so I actually predicted that the two of you would not end up together.”

After saying her piece, Linda became scared, so she added, “I am just bullsh*tting, though, so please don’t take my words to heart, Mr. Clinton.”

Oscar simply waved and instructed, “You may leave. Have them postpone the meeting by an hour.”

“Understood.”

Linda nodded before she walked away in her high heels.

Oscar turned to the window again. It was almost dawn, so the entire city seemed especially quiet. Colorful neon lights illuminated Pillere and gave it a wonderful shade.

Unfortunately, the beautiful neon lights had always had a way of making one feel lonely.

Oscar got his phone out of his pocket and entered the passcode before he tapped into the photo album. He couldn’t help smiling as he stared at Amelia’s photo.

He chuckled and muttered, “You’ve won, woman. I am hopelessly and irrevocably in love with a woman named Amelia Winters. There was a time when you worried that I don’t love you, but now I have learned who my heart truly loved. When you got into that car accident and had to go for surgery, I swore that I will never let you go in this lifetime. I didn’t deal with Stephanie’s matter in the right way, and that broke your heart, so I’ll give you a few days to calm down. When I get back, I will go to you and take you home. I promise.”

Oscar only shoved a few mouthfuls of the food Linda gave him. It was exquisite and warm, so it didn’t taste bad, but Oscar didn’t have the appetite to eat it.

After his meal, Oscar took a quick nap on the sofa before he went for another meeting.

The graveness of the project information leak was worse than Oscar anticipated. They had endless meetings to discuss how to solve the matter with little time to sleep and eat. Whenever Oscar was free, he would call Olivia.
