Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 445 Love Triangle

The moment Amelia returned to the design department, Rory walked toward her and said, “Amelia, the manager asked you to go to his office. He wants to talk to you.”

A flash of doubt appeared in Amelia’s eyes.

“Don’t be scared, Amelia. The manager isn’t the type to believe in rumors. Jamie’s the one who fabricated everything, anyway. She only did that because the person backing her up has had some conflicts with the manager. Please don’t misunderstand!” explained Rory quickly, having misinterpreted the look on Amelia’s face.

When Amelia heard that, she burst out laughing and assured, “I didn’t misunderstand, Rory. I’ll go now. Talk to you later!”

Upon entering the office, Amelia asked politely, “Are you looking for me?”

The manager, who was sitting at the desk, immediately jumped to his feet, revealing his bulging stomach.

“You’re Amelia, right?” The manager had just received a call from the CEO, asking whether there was an employee named Amelia in his department. When he thought about it, he remembered that he had asked Rory to recruit her. The CEO instructed him to treat Amelia nicely, saying that she came from a formidable background. Since she was the wife of Clinton Corporations’ only heir, she must not be offended. Not expecting such a powerful person to be working in his department, the manager was so shocked that he broke out into cold sweat.

“Yes. May I know why you summoned me to your office?” asked Amelia, feeling a bit uncomfortable by the middle-aged man’s intense stare.

The manager returned to his senses. A meaningful smile spread across his chubby cheeks as he said, “Amelia, it’s the company’s blessing that you are working for us. You’ve truly graced us with your presence! Since the CEO isn’t here, I welcome you to the company on his behalf. I’m really happy! I didn’t expect you to be so pretty too. Only the most outstanding and talented man is worthy of you.”

Amelia was completely confused, unable to figure out why he was saying all that.

As if he could sense her confusion, the manager laughed heartily. “I’m just spouting nonsense, Amelia. Go back to your work. I’ll assign you to design some important blueprints later. I heard that you’re a design major, so you are probably very skilled at designing blueprints. Do a good job as I have high hopes for you. If you don’t like working in the design department, just tell me which other position you’re interested in. There’s no need to stand on ceremony with me.”

Amelia’s expression turned gloomy as her suspicions toward Oscar grew. If he had not said anything to the company’s boss, the manager would not have been so submissive toward her.

“Sir, did someone say something to you?” Amelia asked tentatively to test the waters.

However, the manager replied calmly, “No! I heard that you have a good relationship with Rory. She mentioned to me that you’ve graduated from a renowned university and that you’re very talented. That’s why I wish to treat you as an important asset. Don’t overthink and just focus on your work instead. If you have any grievances, just tell me. If Jamie is getting too overboard, tell me too. I’ll raise it up to the boss. Since you’re the company’s lucky star, no one can protect her.”

Although Amelia was still confused, the manager dismissed her with a wave. “Return to work. Remember to tell me about any grievances you face!”
