Chapter 634 He Is Back
As June left to use the bathroom, Jolin excused herself as well and went after him. “Hold it right there, June!” she called out to him outside the male restroom.
June paused in his tracks and flashed her a sarcastic smile as he asked, “What is it, Ms. Wright? Are you trying to make a move on me?”
Jolin narrowed her eyes and glared viciously at him. “I told you to stay away from Mrs. Clinton or I’d kill you!”
June pretended to be scared of her before putting on a sinister expression as he said, “You’re a woman, so you should act like one instead of threatening to kill people all the time. I came here as an overseas merchant, and even the governor would show me some respect. If anything were to happen to me in Tayhaven, Oscar will be the first person that my family goes after. Surely, you wouldn’t want to cause your boss any trouble?”
“Are you threatening me?”
Instead of replying, June stepped forward and pinned Jolin against the wall before she even realized what was going on. The next thing she knew, something cold and metallic was pressing against her waist.
“You have a gun?”
“Taking on trained individuals like you without a gun is just asking for a beating.”
“Aren’t you afraid of me reporting you?”
“You can go ahead and do so if you want.”
“You…”
“Lady, I’m going to use the restroom now. You’d better not follow me or you might end up scaring the other guys in there. Besides, it’s important for a girl to have some sense of shame.” June then entered the restroom after saying that, leaving Jolin rooted to the spot.
Frustrated at losing the confrontation with June, she punched the wall and shouted angrily, “D*mn it!”
“What happened, Jolin? Are you feeling unwell?” Amelia asked worriedly when she saw Jolin return with a depressed look on her face.
Jolin shook her head in response, but shot June a fierce glare when he came back.
It was already three in the afternoon by the time they were done with lunch. Shane generously gave everyone the rest of the day off, so they all cheered happily and left in their respective cars.
“I’ll be on my way too, Shane,” Amelia said.
Shane nodded.
“Amelia, I hope you will seriously consider being my translator. Please don’t let your personal affairs get in the way of official business,” June reminded her.
“Hey, June! Don’t think you’re some hotshot just because you came back as an overseas merchant. You’re nothing but a lapdog at best!” Jolin snapped back at him before Amelia could even say anything.
The look on Shane’s face turned gloomy instantly upon hearing that.
“Jolin, you mustn’t be so rude!” Amelia reprimanded her.
June, on the other hand, simply chuckled as he said, “Ms. Wright sure has a way with words! Looks like I’ll be able to learn a thing or two from her someday!”
Amelia shot him a glance before turning toward Shane as she said, “I’ll get going now, Shane.”
She then got into the car with Jolin and had the chauffeur drive off.
“You have very interesting employees, Mr. Franklin. I don’t think you’d ever get bored working with them, huh?” June said sarcastically when the car disappeared into the distance.
“I need to buy my daughter her favorite comic, so I’ve got to get going now,” Shane replied, avoiding that topic completely.
“Go on, then. I have to visit an old friend anyway.”
“June, keep in mind that Amelia isn’t someone you can afford to mess with. It’d be unwise to play with fire and end up getting burnt to ashes,” Shane said before getting into his car and driving off.
June narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself with a smile, “But that’s what makes it fun. My hatred will not be satiated until I crush Oscar and make him apologize to me.”
“I’ll wait for you outside, Mrs. Clinton,” Jolin said upon dropping Amelia off at the Clinton residence.
“How about you go in with me instead? It’d get pretty boring standing out here all by yourself.”
Jolin gave it some thought and agreed to her suggestion. “I need to make a phone call. Let me know when you’re ready to leave, Mrs. Clinton.”
Amelia nodded and made her way into the house.
Jolin waited until she was out of sight before giving Oscar a call.
“Boss, June is back again. This time, he’s playing the role of an overseas merchant. I believe he came prepared,” she reported after taking a moment to structure her sentences.
“Got it. Have someone follow him for now,” Oscar ordered calmly.
“Will do, Boss.”
“Where’s Amelia?”
“She got off work early today, so she came over to the Clinton residence.”
