Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 471

Chapter 471 Get To The Top

When Amelia returned to the office to work, all her colleagues naturally consoled her. Some even said Jamie was a heartless person and that they could not believe she could do something like that to a colleague from the same department. It was a humiliating matter for the company.

However, Amelia responded calmly, “Thank you for your concern, everyone. I don’t want to talk about Jamie anymore. We should just let the police handle everything. If they want to teach her a lesson before letting her go or even lock her in jail for a few days, it’s not up to my decision.”

“Don’t worry, Amelia. The police will punish her according to the law. Her prank has seriously affected your job and even your life. It even affected you mentally. She definitely won’t get any benefit out of it,” said Lydia. Ever since she knew Amelia was the wife of Clinton Corporations’ heir, she had been constantly trying to get in the latter’s good books. She was doing it more openly compared to Rory, who was better at being subtle.

“Thank you, Lydia. With everyone’s concern, I don’t feel that sad anymore,” Amelia said.

After a brief chat, the crowd slowly dispersed and went back to work.

Right then, the manager walked in with a relatively good-looking man who seemed to be in his thirties. The latter was dressed in a suit.

“Everyone, please be quiet. The boss is here,” Eduardo announced, clapping his hands to get the employees’ attention.

Hearing that, everyone in the design department got to their feet.

“Hello, Mr. Franklin,” everyone greeted in unison.

Meanwhile, a hint of surprise flashed past Amelia’s eyes when she saw the young man’s face. She blurted, “Shane Franklin?”

The young man shifted his gaze to her, and his lips curled into a smile. “Amelia, it’s really you! When Mr. Clinton gave me a call and mentioned your name, I was a little suspicious, and I couldn’t help but wonder if it was the Amelia I know from university. I didn’t expect it to really be you. We haven’t met for so many years, and now, you’ve become an employee in my company.”

All the staff from the design department stared at Amelia.

“Mr. Franklin, you know Amelia?” someone asked, causing everyone to turn to look at Shane.

Although Shane was not exceptionally good-looking, he exuded a pleasant aura and looked like an educated man. Every single action he made was calm, and he had a faint smile on his lips. He truly looked like an elegant prince with no temper.

“Amelia and I were university friends. We were in the same batch but different courses. Ever since she graduated, we lost contact with each other. I can’t believe I’m meeting her again in the company after such a long time. This must be fate. Since it’s a happy day, let’s all end work early and have a celebration outside,” Shane suggested.

“Woohoo! Long live Mr. Franklin!”

At four o’clock in the afternoon, everyone from the design department got off work early. Shane announced he would bring them out for a meal and have fun in a karaoke bar.

However, Amelia was a little hesitant since she wanted to try Oscar’s cooking that night. If she were to eat with her colleagues, then Oscar and Tony would be the only ones left during dinner.

Ever since she re-entered the working world, she rarely had control over her time.

Just then, Shane walked over and asked with a smile, “What’s wrong? Aren’t you going to give your old friend the honor of treating you to a meal?”

Amelia quickly put away her phone and shook her head. “It’s not that. I just kind of promised Oscar that I’d go home and have a meal with him. If I were to stand him up again, I’m worried he might be mad. If that happens, you’ve got to help me out as my boss.”
