Chapter 805
No matter what Isabella was planning, Amelia went to work as usual. As time went by, she became the backbone of the design department, even having a newly-hired intern under her wing.
The intern was a cheerful and optimistic person. When she observed that Amelia was patient and friendly, she did not hesitate to ask questions.
After Amelia taught the intern the ropes, she received a text message from Tiffany.
When she opened the text message, she saw that Tiffany had invited her to dinner, mentioning that it would be just the two of them.
After thinking for a moment, Amelia agreed and took the chance to ask if anything was up. However, Tiffany said she was fine, only wanting to meet as they had not eaten together for some time.
At night, Amelia called Oscar to tell him she was eating dinner with Tiffany. Thus, there was no need for him to pick her up.
Soon, Jolin dropped Amelia off at the place she agreed to meet Tiffany for dinner.
When Amelia went inside, she saw that Tiffany was already seated.
Amelia took a good look at her best friend. As they had not met for a few days, she could tell instantly that
Tiffany had lost weight as her cheeks were hollowed.
She walked over and sat down before going straight to the point. "Tiff, did the Hissons stop providing you food and clothes?"
At that, Tiffany was confused and answered, "No. Why did you ask that?"
"If not, why did you get skinnier? You were a bit chubby before you get married. Although it's only been less than a year since you were married, it seems you had gone through famine by how skinny you got. People who don't know you probably thought you're a beggar," Amelia stated with obvious dissatisfaction.
After hearing that, Tiffany's expression stiffened. However, she chose not to answer Amelia's question but call for the waiter to order food instead.
When they were finished ordering, Tiffany said, "It's good to be a bit skinnier. I look better."
Amelia scrutinized her sharply and uttered, "Tiff, tell me the truth. Is Mrs. Hisson making things difficult for you again? If Derrick doesn't have the capability to protect you, I'm having second thoughts about if you should still continue with your marriage."
Tiffany shook her head and took a sip of her coffee, answering, "That's not the case. I didn't eat much recently as I don't have much appetite. Plus, his mother would criticize me once everyone is not around, so it made me lose my appetite more. That's why I lost so much weight."
Amelia furrowed her eyebrows. "Tiff, did something happen at home?"
Tiffany placed her cup down and sighed. "It's nothing much. For the past few days, Crystal kept on appearing in the Hisson residence, and Mrs. Hisson would always praise her. This makes me feel very uncomfortable."
Amelia felt that Kate was going too far.
Tiffany shrugged and changed the topic. "Let's not talk about her. I want to have a pleasant meal with you today."
At that, Amelia nodded.
After the duo quietly finished their meal, they exited the restaurant. Lifting her hands, Tiffany hugged Amelia before letting go a while later. "Babe, I'm stronger than you think. Don't worry."
Amelia looked at her and replied, "You can tell me whatever that's bothering you. There's no need to suffer alone."
"I know that. You're my only friend. Who else am I going to tell except for you?" Tiffany answered with a smile.
Observing her expression, Amelia decided not to say anything else after seeing that she seemed fine.
After sending Tiffany off, she got into Jolin's car.
"Jolin, let's go back home."
