Too Much to Bear, My Love novel Chapter 632

Chapter 632 Cut The Ties

After lunch, Oscar was about to return to his office after sending Olivia off. Unexpectedly, Isabella tagged along with him shamelessly and called out, “Oscar!”

Oscar halted in his tracks and turned to utter grimly, “Isabella Walker, heed my words. Don’t ever think that you can do as you like in the office just because you are now the goddaughter of the Clintons. I hope you can at least try to prove yourself by contributing to the company. What’s the point of having a high educational qualification if you’re just a good-for-nothing employee?”

Unfazed by his words, Isabella chuckled. “Oscar, I believe I’ve put effort at work. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have appointed me as the director, would you? Since Aunt Olivia has announced to everyone that I’m her goddaughter, I’ll mind my manners. From now onwards, we are considered siblings. Thus, I hope you can trust me, putting aside all the prejudice against me. Let’s try to get on well with each other, okay?”

Looking intently into her eyes, Oscar stated, “I hope so.”

After that, he turned to step into the building without sparing her another glance. Isabella stood rooted to the spot as she gazed at his retreating figure till it was gradually out of sight. “Oscar, even though you’ve remarried, I’m convinced I’ll still be able to snatch you from that woman. As long as you’re still alive, it’s just a matter of time before you become mine!” she hissed, laughing slyly as she strutted into the building on her heels.

Moments later, she brought various types of documents to the top floor. After stepping out of the elevator, she headed straight to the secretary’s office and asked courteously, “Yuliana, is Mr. Clinton in his room? I’ve brought quite a few copies of documents for his signature.”

The latter led her to Oscar’s room and knocked on the door. “Mr. Clinton, Ms. Walker is here.”

“Let her come in!” Oscar’s voice sounded from the room.

Isabella entered with a stack of documents and stated formally, “Mr. Clinton, these are the proposals on the projects we’re collaborating with Garnerland Technology and Yendall Technology. Please take a look and place your signature if everything is fine for you.”

Oscar took the documents from her and roughly scanned through the copies. After ensuring everything was fine, he signed them accordingly.

Shortly after, he handed Isabella the signed documents and complimented, “You’ve done well this round. I predict our company will gain a profit of approximately forty-six percent. Anyway, I hope you can keep it up to prove your competency at work to me.”

In an instant, Isabella’s lips curved into a smile. The former’s words had seemingly cheered her up.

“Mr. Clinton, thanks for your compliment. If there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work first,” she replied courteously with a smile.

Oscar only nodded without uttering any words.

Meanwhile, Isabella turned to walk away swiftly, bottling up her emotions.

Deep down, she had made up her mind to come up with a different approach. Instead of clinging to Oscar, she decided to take things step-by-step by impressing him with her competence at work gradually. Hmph! I’m sure Oscar will be impressed by me via our frequent interaction at work! Sooner or later, I’ll win his heart!

On the other hand, Oscar was unaware of what was playing in Isabella’s mind. He was more than happy when the latter seemed to be enlightened and stopped entangling him. Feeling relieved, he buried himself in his work the whole afternoon.

By the time he received Amelia’s call, it was already six in the evening. She asked him not to fetch her as she would go straight to the hospital.

“Wait for me a while. I’ll go over to fetch you now. Let’s go to the hospital together,” Oscar told her.

“Okay! Give me a call when you get here. I’ll grab some time for my design drawing while waiting for you,” Amelia replied casually.

“Okay!” After hanging up, Oscar strode out of his office right away. Coincidentally, Isabella stepped out of the elevator adjacent to the one he was in at the same time as him.

“Oscar!” she called out to him at once.

When Oscar turned instinctively, she shrugged her shoulders, pretending to ask mischievously, “It’s past office hours. I don’t have to call you Mr. Clinton now, do I?”

“It’s up to you,” Oscar replied indifferently.

Isabella kept a formal distance of a few inches from Oscar while walking abreast with him. “Oscar, a great idea pops into my mind. I’m thinking of discussing with you the launch of the new products for the coming season. Do you have time now?” she asked warily.

“I’m busy now. You can bring it up during our meeting at nine tomorrow morning,” he responded nonchalantly.

Isabella had no choice but to flash him a faint smile. “Okay! That sounds fine too.”

After a pause, she stated casually, “You seem to be in a rush. I’d better don’t interrupt you then. Bye!”

Oscar only nodded placidly and walked away.

After he hopped into the car and sped off, Isabella trailed behind him in her car.

Soon, Oscar received a call from one of his bodyguards observing everything discreetly. “Boss, Ms. Walker is trailing behind you. Do you need us to do something?”

“Yeah, just go ahead.” After hanging up, Oscar stared at Isabella trailing behind his car through the rear-view mirror. He could not help snorting inwardly. Pfft! A leopard never changes its spots!

Meanwhile, Isabella was overconfident and did not sense anything amiss. After Oscar made an abrupt turn at a corner and stepped on the accelerator, she was about to make a turn too. Nonetheless, a car appeared out of the blue in front of her, blocking her way. Subsequently, her car almost collided with it, scaring the daylight out of her. Fortunately, she managed to stop it at the eleventh hour with her emergency brake. Flustered, she unbuckled her seat belt and was about to confront the reckless driver. However, the car sped away with a swoosh.

Isabella gaped at the car speeding away. A surge of fury welled up from within her. Damn it! What a day! I’ve had enough when Oscar hardly spared me any gaze. Even a reckless driver is getting on my nerves now. How could he have the guts to block my way!

She managed to jot down the car plate number before the car was out of sight. After that, she made a call to get someone to check on it. Nonetheless, she was informed that nothing could be traced about the car owner. In other words, the car owner could be purchasing the car with a fabricated ID card, or it could be a stolen car. Since there was still a record for the car plate number, they could only deduce that the car owner had bought it with a fake ID card.

“Sh*t!” she cussed, blowing a fuse. Nothing seems to be on the right track today! Even an unidentified driver dares to step on my toes!
