Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 611

Chapter 611 You Are Fired

Oscar tugged at his tie as he entered the office. Sean, who had been sitting on the couch and getting bored out of his mind, stood up right away and put on a professional smile. He greeted, “Hello Mr. Clinton, I am Sean Hutton, and I am from Saspiuburg. I understand that you’ve already met my parents?”

Oscar took one look at him before pointing at the couch Sean was sitting on earlier. The former said, “Take a seat.”

A little awkwardly, Sean retracted his hand and sat back on the couch.

“Go on then. Tell me why you’re here,” requested Oscar who crossed his leg as he went straight to the point. After that, he sat on the other side of the couch.

Sean’s lips curved into a small grin, and the awkwardness he felt earlier was all but gone. It seemed he was great at controlling his emotions.

“Mr. Clinton, I am here to talk about the matter between my mother and your wife,” replied Sean.

“So, get to it. Are you going to take your mom home? I will not oppose that. In fact, I hope that she will never show her face to Amelia again because her being around had disrupted Amelia’s life and routine. It’s just rather unfortunate that Eleanor hasn’t noticed it,” said Oscar. His words were pretty cruel, but he showed no remorse.

The glow in Sean’s eyes became strange.

“Mr. Clinton, you must be kidding, right? Your wife is a long-lost member of the Hutton family, so I’m sure she’d like to get to know her family,” replied Sean while smiling warmly.

“No, she doesn’t.”

Oscar wouldn’t budge and remained merciless with his words.

Sean was taken aback, but he smiled anyway.

“You truly are a straightforward guy, and I admire that. If possible, I’d really like to have you as my brother-in-law. I wonder if I’ll have that honor, though,” said Sean while smiling.

“I won’t mind assuming that role if your father is willing to accept my wife as a member of his family.”

The smile on Sean’s face became less bright.

“Okay, please allow me to be direct, Mr. Clinton. I didn’t just drop by for a chat. I also came to ask you to please bear with my mother a little longer. She wants a divorce from my dad, and I think she will keep badgering your wife as a result. Please take care of her,” requested Sean as he stood up from the couch, then bowed respectfully to Oscar.

“Okay, you may leave now.”

Oscar’s relentless disrespect finally got the smile on Sean’s face to falter.

“At the end of the day, Mr. Clinton, I am a guest who has traveled quite some distance to pay you a visit. Must you act this way?”

“It would be more accurate to say that you are an uninvited guest, and I am merciful enough for letting you set foot in here,” replied Oscar. He stood up and pointed at the door. “I don’t enjoy listening to nonsense, so you can leave now.”

Sean straightened his suit and said, “Mr. Clinton, I also have a business proposal for you. Would you like to hear about it?”

“I’m not interested.”

“Then so be it. If you change your mind though, I will return. I’m pretty sure that with my family’s help, it’ll be much easier for your company to expand into an international market like Saspiuburg. That must somewhat pique your interest,” said Sean when he reached the door.

Oscar responded by returning to his desk and ignoring Sean’s words entirely.

Sean had no choice but to open the door and leave.

Oscar opened the files on his desk and began working. He never dwelled on Sean’s visit that day.

Linda knocked on the door and Oscar said, “Come in.”

After that, she entered the office with a stack of documents. She remained professional when she reported, “Mr. Clinton, these documents are from Yard Group, and they are all collaboration contracts. They’re asking you to look through these contracts and call them if you wish to collaborate on any of them.”

Oscar finally tilted his head up and asked, “Did you just say Yard Group?”

“Yes, Mr. Clinton.”

“Turn them down.”

Linda steeled herself up before saying, “But Ms. Yard is waiting right outside, Mr. Clinton. Are you really not going to even talk to her?”

Oscar glared, then reminded, “Linda, you know what my pet peeves are. I’ve told you. Clinton Corporations will never collaborate with Yard Group again. Have you forgotten my instructions already?”

Linda turned a little pale. She parted her lips to explain herself, but to her surprise, someone barged into the room before she could do so.

Oscar and Linda both turned their attention to the door. The former reacted quickly and walked ahead to bar the intruder’s way. She said, “Ms. Yard, please wait outside.”

Cassie, in a formal outfit that perfectly outlined her curves, turned to Linda and instructed, “Please give us a moment, Linda. I’d like to talk to Mr. Clinton.”

Linda seemed a little troubled when she turned to Oscar.

He waved his hand at her, and she received the implicit message immediately after. Relieved, Linda exited the office.

Cassie stepped forward confidently and smiled politely. “Hello, Oscar. I am Cassie Yard, and I am now an office lady. I wish we can start over and get reacquainted again.”
