Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 530

Chapter 530 Meeting With June

During lunch, Jolin joined Amelia and Rory without invitation. Rory shot a glance of disdain at Jolin before speaking in a tone of suppressed anger. “Amelia and I are planning to have steak for lunch outside of the company, Jolin. I think you should find other people to eat with.”

Jolin glanced at Rory and replied with a deadpan expression, “Do I need to report to you who I want to eat with?”

Rage sparked in Rory’s eyes. She felt like her dignity had been insulted by a newbie who acted smugly simply because of her connection with their superior.

Amelia was getting a mild headache. Jolin is a lot worse in social interactions than I thought.

She secretly glanced at Jolin. I wonder if she’s giving that attitude to Rory because she doesn’t like her or she simply doesn’t like to talk to people who aren’t on the same level as her.

“Jolin is a newcomer, Rory. As senior employees, we should treat her to a meal. Just let her follow us, all right? Making new friends is always a good thing.” Amelia tried to resolve the conflict.

“Look at her attitude, Amelia. It seems to me she doesn’t like me at all.” Rory glared at Jolin and spoke with a tinge of fury.

If Jolin’s attitude was a bit better, she wouldn’t have minded putting up a facade as usual and talking to the woman who looked like a man. However, when she saw how Jolin seemed to loathe her, as though she was a dirty rag, she couldn’t hold back her anger.

She greatly disliked how a newcomer was behaving all smugly in front of her.

Jolin stared at her coldly and suggested, “If you don’t want to look at me, you can just leave.”

The raging fire in Rory’s heart burned brighter. You’re not going to make me leave!

When the elevator door near them opened, Amelia saw June appear. The last time he showed up in front of her was days ago. Today, he was wearing a white outfit. It made him look just like prince charming. Jolin promptly gestured for Amelia to stay behind when she saw him.

Amelia couldn’t help but chuckle when she saw Jolin was acting as though an enemy was approaching. I wonder where Oscar found such a funny bodyguard. It feels like she’s here to entertain me than protect me.

“Relax, Jolin,” she said.

Jolin turned to look at her before backing away.

Amelia shook her head and continued to laugh.

June approached them and greeted them in a very gentlemanly way. “It’s been a while, Ms. Winters. I quite miss you. Do you miss me?”

Amelia stayed silent.

“Can you pay attention to the people around you when you flirt with someone, mister? This is basic courtesy,” Jolin said. The way she uttered those two sentences seriously was quite humorous.

He turned to Jolin before turning back to Amelia. “This is?”

“She’s a new employee and my colleague. Her name’s Jolin Wright.” Amelia didn’t want to explain any further. “We’ll be leaving to have our lunch now, Mr. Wick.”

June blocked their path and continued to speak like a gentleman. “May I join you ladies for lunch?”

Jolin studied him from head to toe and said, “You’re a two-faced perverted man who’s trying to hook up with a married woman. You think you’re handsome, but you’re very ugly inside. There’s nothing of value about you, Mr. Foreigner.”

Amelia almost choked while Rory stared at her in disbelief.

Both of them couldn’t quite believe that Jolin had the gall to speak like that in public.

“Is there a misunderstanding between us, Ms. Wright?”
