Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 453

Chapter 453 Very Suspicious

When Amelia returned to the office, Rory approached her. “Mr. Moore came by earlier, Amelia. It seems that the client wants the design by tomorrow noon. We’ll have to work overtime tonight.”

Amelia furrowed her eyebrows. “Can I take it back home to finish it?”

“Sure. Do you want to take the drafts back with you?”

“I do. Tony’s currently in his mischievous phase, and he’s not terribly close with his dad. If I return too late, I’m afraid he’ll throw a tantrum.”

Rory failed to stifle her laughter. “Looks like you’ve learned how to joke, Amelia.” When she smiled, a faint dimple appeared on her right cheek. It made her look cuter. “You promised me you’ll let me see Tony this weekend, Amelia. No take-backs, okay?”

Amelia nodded.

Rory’s smile became wider as anticipation flashed across her eyes. She couldn’t shake away the image of a tall and imposing figure in her mind.

“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Amelia asked because her friend’s cheek was getting red and she looked as though she was daydreaming.

Rory snapped out of it and shook her head. “I’m fine, Amelia. I’ll be going to the washroom.”

“Go ahead, then.”

She turned around and left. However, after taking five steps away, she glanced back at Amelia, whose back was facing her, with jealousy, dropping the lovable facade she had put up in front of Amelia.

Entering a washroom cubicle, she heard someone talking in front of the sinks.

“Say, that new gal in the design department seems to have a pretty close relationship with Rory. Who do you think she is?” one of the women asked.

“Based on her appearance, I’m thinking she’s either the daughter of a rich family or the wife of a wealthy man. Rory’s the type of person who’ll only approach and flatter rich people. If that new gal wasn’t wealthy in some way, Rory wouldn’t have bothered to put up with her at all. What a shameless woman.”

“That’s true. Still, Rory’s quite the schemer, don’t you think? Even though she’s from a village and she has just graduated, she’s already cozying up with Mr. Moore. Only a fool will believe her when she said she had nothing to do with him. Do you believe it? I sure don’t.”
