Love You Enough to Leave You

“Mrs. Scott, speak your mind. Honestly, it seems like you feel awkward putting on this front, and it looks unnatural to us too,” Tiffany exposed. Having been continuously attacked by Tiffany verbally, Faye was beginning to scowl. Wiping her mouth with her handkerchief again, Faye asked, “Are you done eating?” Pointing at the barely touched dishes, Tiffany voiced, “Mrs. Scott, I’m sure you see those too, but you’re asking if we’re done? Just speak what’s on your mind.” Once you’re done, you can get lost. As she remained seated, she said, “Finish your meal first. Once you’re done, we’ll have some tea.” Thus, Amelia and Tiffany stopped bothering themselves with her and began focusing on their food.

Watching the two enjoy their food, Faye’s scowl deepened. She hated the scent of stew, and the smell of it in the restaurant was pungent to her. She was born with a golden spoon, and she had been exposed to the wealthy, meticulous lifestyle since young. A noisy restaurant like this was a place she would never step in willingly. Faye did not know whether Amelia and Tiffany were doing it intentionally or not, but they took two and a half hours before finishing it. Every time Faye was about to say something, Tiffany would retort, “You can leave first if you have something else to do.” Thus, Faye could do nothing but suppress her anger.

When they finally finished eating, Faye ran out of the restaurant, unable to stand the scent any second longer. At that, Tiffany crowed, “You brought it upon yourself. I hate rich women like you. You obviously hate ordinary places like these, but you keep pretending as if you don’t care. Your very presence is affecting my appetite.” Amelia was silent as she raised a brow at Tiffany’s sparkling clean plate. “Let’s go. At the end of the day, she’s still someone we should respect. We’ll only trouble Carter in the end if we keep her waiting any longer,” Amelia suggested.

Tiffany frowned. After exiting the restaurant, Amelia asked, “Mrs. Scott, is there somewhere you’d like to go?” She replied, “I’ve made a reservation a moment ago. We’ll take my car there.” “Thank you, Mrs. Scott, for your goodwill, but we have our own car. You can drive ahead of us, and we’ll just follow behind you.” Faye agreed easily, for she was only offering a ride out of courtesy. After Faye entered her car, Amelia and Tiffany entered theirs as well. After arriving at their destination, Tiffany carefully helped Amelia down from the car. Lifting her head to look at the place, Tiffany scoffed. “Rich people are so extra. Why do we need to come to a luxurious club like this just for a talk?” Amelia agreed.

she realized she was quite the recluse. As she looked sexy, everyone thought she would be one to frequent nightclubs. Yet, what she actually liked was to spend her time at home. Sometimes, she would even ask her friend over for a meal or a movie. After entering the club, Faye said to Tiffany, “Ms. Winters, I’ve booked a room

you and come to you later.” “Call me if anything happens,” Tiffany replied, feeling anxious. Amelia nodded. After Tiffany left, Faye’s mood seemed to improve a little. “Let’s go.” When the two entered the room, Faye handed her bag to the server and instructed, “Brew us some tea.” “Please give me a moment,

with him again, but I have to admit that you’re a smart one. Your reappearance has made him pine for you all day and night again. Back then, I dropped the corporate espionage charges on you on behalf of him, thinking that you won’t contact him anymore. Yet, five years later, here you are again. Tell me. What do you want?” Amelia

his number? Don’t respond to any of his messages nor calls. Anything you ask for — as long as I can do it — I’ll agree to it.” “Mrs. Scott, are you trying to get rid of me with money just like what you did five years ago?” “Now that you’re married into

her son.” “Mrs. Scott, I understand that you love your son, but Carter and I are just good friends. I’m sorry, but I can’t agree to blocking him and no longer contacting him.” Faye grimaced. “Amelia, you’re young and beautiful, so it’s understandable that you’re a little greedier. However, everyone frowns upon the act of sailing on

used to be, we still are, and we’ll always be. For you to ask me to cut ties with a friend seems a little too inappropriate.” “What do you want?” Faye snarled. Right as Amelia was about to reply to her, someone knocked on the door, and the server entered. “Mrs. Scott, the tea is ready.” Faye nodded. The server then served the tea and poured it for both Faye and Amelia. “Mrs. Scott, Ms. Winters, please enjoy.” With that said, the server retreated from the room. Taking the teacup up to elegantly take a sip, Faye then continued, “Amelia, I admit that you’re an intelligent woman. Name your terms. As long as I don’t find them too absurd, I’ll

that we’re more than that, then there isn’t anything I can do about it.” “Amelia, as you have said, you have your own family, and I’m sure you don’t want to ruin it, do you? If so, why don’t you cut ties with Carter? As long as you’re around, Carter can never forget about you. I was the one who wronged you back then, but can you let my son off on behalf of the fact that you’re a mother too?” Amelia was at a loss about whether she should laugh or roll her eyes at Faye. There was absolutely nothing between Carter and her, but Faye insisted that the two of them

minded selling her trade secrets to another company to achieve her goal by making her own company’s stocks plummet. “Mrs. Scott, we’ve been unable to compromise for this issue five years ago, and I don’t think we’ll ever be able to. I still have some things to attend to, so I’ll be taking my leave first,” Amelia informed as she stood up. Slamming her right hand loudly on the table, Faye yelled,
