Chapter 432 Stay Away From Her
Both of them sat at the cafe for almost two hours. Rory glanced at her phone and said, “Amelia, I need to head back to work. I’ll talk to you when you’re at work next Monday. Ah, at last. I won’t be so lonely anymore with you there.”
As Amelia was driving Rory back to the office, the latter glanced discreetly at the interior of the car. A look of envy flashed past her eyes as she blurted, “Amelia, you’re such a great woman, and you have an ex-husband who cannot stay away from you. You practically have everything. There’s really no need for you to remain in a small company and get scolded by the boss whenever he’s unhappy. It’s not worth it.”
Acting as if she did not see the look of envy in Rory’s eyes, Amelia said, “I’ve been spending most of my time at home. Peaceful days can be quite boring after some time. It’ll do me some good to get some training by working at the company.”
Rory gave a hollow laugh as a feeling of jealousy over Amelia’s calmness filled her heart.
Amelia drove off immediately after Rory got off the car.
As soon as she reached home, Tony leaped toward Amelia like a little rabbit and hugged her legs. “Mommy, you’re back! I really missed you!”
Amelia bent forward and picked the little boy up, who landed a kiss each on both sides of her cheeks. He said in a cute voice, “Mommy, where did you go? I missed you so much.”
Amelia chuckled and her mood instantly lifted.
She carried Tony to the sofa and sat down. “I went for an interview. It must’ve been your luck that helped me to get hired without going through the second round. Thank you for your support, Tony. I’ve decided to make your favorite baked fish today. What do you think?”
“Really?” Tony’s eyes lit up immediately, making his delicate little face even more good-looking.
Tiffany, who was in her apron, walked out of the kitchen. “Thank goodness you’re back, Amelia. Do you have any idea how this little devil has been muttering your name into my ears for hours? I swear I’ve lost some weight from the torture.”
Tony scrunched his tiny nose and said, “Tiffy, don’t talk bad about me.”
Upon hearing that, Tiffany went forward and gave his forehead a gentle tap. “You little rascal. I’ve been making so many yummy foods for you since morning and you’ve never praised me. And now you’re complaining to your mommy the minute she’s back.”
Tony buried himself in Amelia’s embrace.
Tiffany turned to Amelia and asked, “How did your interview go?”
“I’m hired, and I can start working next Monday.” Amelia thought for a moment and uttered, “Guess who I met during the interview?”
“Who?” Tiffany asked without taking a moment to wonder.
“Rory.”
“Who’s that?” Both Tiffany and Rory had not been in touch for some time, and the latter was not an important person. Hence, it was understandable for Tiffany to not recall who the person was.
Amelia explained briefly to her.
Tiffany frowned and cursed, “This woman is so annoying. I thought I won’t be seeing her for the rest of my life. Who would’ve known that you’ll end up being her colleague?”
“Rory hasn’t done anything terrible. Don’t be too hard on her,” Amelia said.
Tiffany waved her hand dismissively. “I’m going to check on the dishes. We’ll continue talking about this during the meal.”
Before long, she was already done preparing the dishes which included beef bourguignon. They looked and smelled amazing.
