Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 95

Amelia gazed at him apologetically. “I’m sorry, but I choose family over work. I can’t stay here anymore.”

“I won’t allow that.”

“I’m really sorry, Carter, but I can’t keep working here. I’m really happy that I got to work with you for a while, and I do hope that we can work together again someday. But for now, none of this is possible. I suppose I won’t need to write you a resignation letter. I’m sorry.” After apologizing sincerely, Amelia headed toward the door.

Yet, Carter grabbed her by the hand. “Please don’t go, Amelia,” he pleaded.

Amelia’s gaze remained apologetic. “I’m really sorry I let you down, Carter. We can work together again next time.”

“I don’t know what will happen next time. All I know is that once you leave, I won’t even have a chance to be close to you anymore. So please don’t go. I’ll fire Jennifer if you stay.”

“Don’t you understand, Carter? Even if Jennifer leaves, there’d be other women who would do what she did. I don’t want anyone else sabotaging my marriage, so I can’t keep working here anymore.”

Carter stared at her in agony.

“Amelia, you left me without a word all those years ago, and now you’re leaving me again because of another man. When will you ever love me instead?”

“Don’t say that, Carter. We’re just friends,” Amelia replied in slight frustration. “I’ll be off now. I don’t want to interfere with your work.”

Carter’s tight grip remained on her hand. “Do you have to be this cruel, Amelia?” he asked drearily.

“I’m sorry, Carter.” With that, Amelia shook his hand off, opened the door to his office, and left without turning back.

Carter stood inside his office in a daze, not even noticing that the secretary had walked in. “Are you okay, Mr. Scott?” the woman asked nervously.

Carter merely glanced at her and pointed to the door. “Leave.”

“M-Mr. Scott, the president of Lumine Group is here. Do you want to—”

“Tell Mr. Freeman that I’m not feeling well and get the technical department manager to handle the project discussions,” Carter instructed after taking a deep breath.

“Yes, Mr. Scott.” With that, the secretary quickly left the office, afraid that the man would unleash his wrath on her.

Just as Carter remained in a horrible mood, a knock came on the door, followed by Jennifer’s voice. “May I come in, Mr. Scott? I have some work matters to report to you about.”

Carter’s eyes flashed with rage and hatred as he clenched his fists tightly. “Come in.”

Jennifer opened the door and walked in, brimming with confidence. She was dressed in a red suit that perfectly accentuated her figure.
