Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 661

Chapter 661 I Would Rather That We Become Strangers

“What are you doing here?” June regarded Jennifer with a quizzical frown.

With arms akimbo, Jennifer responded with an ambiguous smirk, “Just dropping by to see how you’re holding up. Wasn’t quite expecting to see that you aren’t doing that much better off either.”

As he adjusted his tie, there was a hint of annoyance between June’s brows. “I don’t have time to humor you if you’re only here to gloat. Now, if you would excuse me.”

“How about a drink together? Take it that we are two people down on their luck, seeking solace in each other in the darkest of nights,” Jennifer said.

Turning around to scrutinize Jennifer’s exquisite figure, June remarked with a laugh, “Couldn’t tell that you’re such a hottie before. Personally, I wouldn’t mind having a quick hookup with you had it been any other day, but not today, unfortunately. I’m just not interested right now.”

Jennifer’s expression grew solemn. “We’re allies, June, so I think a little decency might be in order.”

June’s lips curled up. It was not clear what was on his mind when he opened the door on the passenger side of Jennifer’s ride and sat himself in.

 
 
 
 
 
 

Snorting, Jennifer got in behind the wheels. “Where to?”

“Didn’t you say that we were going for a drink?”

Jennifer stepped on the gas and drove them down to a bar.

 

Following that, the pair of them entered together. That bar was unlike the typical lively ones. The sort of ear-splitting music that was commonplace elsewhere was conspicuously absent here. Mostly, people just sat on their high chairs to have conversations over a drink or two.

Both of them occupied a table in the corner. Jennifer wanted a cocktail, and June randomly followed suit.

After taking a sip, Jennifer said, “We have been totally screwed over by Oscar, June. Never mind what people on the streets are saying about us, our companies’ stock values have also taken a real hit. I suppose that your situation isn’t that much better than mine, if not worse. Word has it that the Yard family has left you hanging high and dry. Are you going to take this lying down?”

Taking a sip of his drink, June replied hoarsely, “I swear that sooner or later, I’m going to hand Oscar some real payback for all of this.”

As she curled her lips into a cold sneer, there was a subtle hint of mockery in Jennifer’s tone. “Has it ever crossed your mind that even the two of us combined would not pose enough of a threat to him? I suppose there must be a reason why Cassie is still so stuck on him. There’s no woman who isn’t drawn to a strong alpha male.” While she spoke, her gaze still lingered upon June as though she meant to imply that he was a loser who had no hope of getting the girl this lifetime.

June slammed down his glass, seething, “What are you looking at me like that for?”

“Are you that easily angered?” Jennifer snickered.

June suddenly broke into a guffaw. “Don’t forget, Jennifer, that you’ve once spent an entire night riding a beta like me, moaning in such delicious ecstasy. I’ve watched that video and seen how much you enjoyed it just from that expression on your face. Mm, thinking about that really makes me feel like bending you over right here, right now.”
