Too Much to Bear, My Love
Chapter 8

Lisa had said it ambiguously on purpose. If it was any other woman,Amelia would definitely misunderstand. However, since it was Georgia,she believed that they were only discussing official matters.

Amelia smiled and said, “Ms. Bailey's my friend too. Also, since theBaileys and the Clintons are collaborating on a project, she’s only hereto talk about business. As the secretary, you're spreading rumorsinstead of denouncing them. Do you want to get fired?”

Shocked, Lisa quickly clarified, “Mrs. Clinton, that's not what I meant...”“All right, go back to your work. I don't want to hear such rumors again,understood?”

“Yes,” mumbled Lisa before slipping away.

Amelia knocked on the door and called out, “Darling, it's me.”

Oscar's voice only sounded after half a minute. “Come in.”

When Amelia entered, she saw Georgia and Oscar talking about workintensely. Hence, she sat on the couch at the side and waited for theirdiscussion to end.

It wasn't until half an hour later did their discussion end. Georgia stoodup and smiled at Amelia. “You're here, Amelia.”

Georgia was the classic example of a modern working woman with anindependent personality and mindset. Furthermore, she was alsofinancially independent. In addition to her slender figure, pretty looks,and rich family background, it was no wonder that those rumors wouldspread in the company.

Amelia walked over and embraced her in a friendly manner. Shegrinned and asked, “It's been a month since we've met, Georgia. Didyou miss me?”

Georgia returned her embrace and replied, “I'm glad that you're back. Istill have work to do in my office, so you go ahead with Mr. Clinton.Let's have a meal together next time.”

Amelia tried to hold her back. “Stay here and eat with us.”

Gathering the reports strewn across the table, Georgia smiled. “It's fine.I have a lot of work to settle. Let's go shopping during the weekends!It's been ages since we've hung out. I'll leave first and both of you cango on with your date.”

After Georgia left, Oscar beckoned her and said, “Sit here!”

Amelia walked over, kissed his lips and sat down beside him.

“I miss you, Darling,” she said sweetly.

Oscar glanced at her, took out a stack of documents, and placed it infront of her. It was none other than the property transfer letter.

Amelia sighed inconspicuously. She was afraid that Oscar would whipout the divorce contract right in front of Cassie. Although she knew thather contract marriage with Oscar would end one day, she did not wantto be defeated in front of Cassie, for it would make her feel inferior.Grabbing the property transfer letter, Amelia glanced through it. Oscarhad transferred two villas in the countryside and an apartment in thecity center to her. She knew that those two villas add up to at least ahundred million, while the apartment in the city center cost around fourmillion. In other words, she would become a multimillionaire just byhaving these properties transferred to her.

Although Oscar did not love her, he was generous with the splitting ofhis assets.
