Chapter 468 Colleague
After a fun weekend, the day most employees dreaded had arrived – Monday.
Amelia was one of them.
As she lazed in bed, she mumbled to herself blearily, “Back then, I used to envy those who go to work. Now that I’m one of them, I just realized what a luxury it is to laze in bed all day long.”
Right then, Oscar was coming out of the bathroom and saw how cute she looked when she was mumbling to herself. He walked over to her and spanked her butt lovingly. “Wake up, lazybones.”
Amelia then leaned onto Oscar lazily. After a while of cuddling, she jumped off her bed enthusiastically and ran into the bathroom. When Oscar saw her practically skipping her way toward the bathroom, he couldn’t help but notice how adorable she was.
Amelia showered and got ready as fast as she could before heading downstairs with Oscar. By then, Tony was already having breakfast with Kurt.
“Boss, Amelia, good morning,” Kurt greeted when he saw Oscar and Amelia walking down the stairs with their fingers interlocked.
Amelia flashed a smile and asked, “How did you sleep, Kurt?”
“I slept well!”
Amelia and Oscar then sat at the table and enjoyed the breakfast prepared by Molly. Suddenly, Amelia blurted, “Are you free today, Kurt? Could you watch Tony? I’m planning to only send him back to the Clinton residence tomorrow.”
“No problem,” Kurt answered.
“Thank you, Kurt. I don’t have to worry about a thing when Tony is with you,” Amelia said while putting some food on Oscar’s plate.
Kurt nodded and pondered for a while before saying, “Boss, Amelia, I’ve purchased the apartment opposite you. It wouldn’t be such a hassle anymore when Tony wants to see me next time.”
Oscar simply shot him a look and kept mum.
“Well, that’s good.” Amelia kept a smile on her lips.
After breakfast, Oscar brought Amelia to work while Tony stayed with Kurt.
Upon arriving at Amelia’s workplace, Oscar unbuckled her seatbelt. Then, he placed his hand behind her head and kissed her passionately.
They were both gasping for air by the time they were done making out. Their foreheads were pressing against each other when Oscar said, “You’re mine, Amelia. When I see you chattering happily with other men, I don’t feel so good here.” As he was saying that, he pointed his finger at his chest.
Right away, Amelia knew what he was talking about and apologized, “I’m sorry.”
Oscar calmed his emotions and planted a kiss on Amelia’s forehead with a smile. “Silly, I was just joking with you. Get to work, now.”
After getting out of the car, Amelia bent down and put on a serious expression. “Oscar, I only see other men as friends. I’ll never have feelings for any of them. Besides, you’re the only man I’ve ever loved. Unless you decide to let me go one day, I’ll always be loyal to you.”
Instantly, Oscar’s lips quirked up, and his mood brightened. “Silly girl!”
Amelia chuckled as well before walking into the building in her heels.
As soon as she exited the elevator, she sensed a strange atmosphere in the office. She could feel that everyone was looking at her strangely.
Amelia pretended like nothing was wrong and made her way toward the design department. What’s going on? The atmosphere is even weirder here!
Everyone had arrived at the office earlier that morning. Even the usual latecomers were already at their desks. When everyone saw Amelia, they rushed up to her and surrounded her.
“So you’re the wife to the heir of the Clintons, Amelia? Back then, the media purposefully misled us to believe you guys had divorced. I’ve even got on the internet to find a wedding photo of you guys. You looked so pretty at the grand wedding seven years ago!” one of the female employees said.
Not wanting to be left out, a male worker chimed in, “I’ve seen it too! Needless to say, you were stunning, completely unlike all you common women! It’s no surprise why Mr. Clinton was interested in you in the first place. You both look like a match made in heaven!”
While the others were fawning over Amelia, Rory gazed coldly toward her from afar. She didn’t bother to join the other employees in showering the woman with compliments. Gone was her usual docile and obedient demeanor around Amelia.
