Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 454 Carter And Oscar

It wasn’t until almost ten at night that Amelia finished the blueprint. She stood up and stretched her body while sweeping her sight across the office. She and Rory were the only two people left there.

“Have you finished the design, Amelia?” Rory smiled.

“I have.”

Rory approached her and stared at the blueprint displayed on the computer screen. Jealousy and shock flashed across her eyes. When she raised her head back up again, those two emotions had been replaced with a joyous smile. “You’re so awesome, Amelia. I can’t believe you managed to design so many blueprints in such a short amount of time. You really are a top student from a prestigious school. I’m so bad compared to you.”

After pulling out the USB drive with a copy of the blueprints in it and turning off the computer, Amelia advised, “You should head home now. It’s dangerous for a girl like you to continue to stay back.”

“Is Oscar going to pick you up?” Rory asked excitedly. Realizing her tone was all wrong, she quickly corrected herself, “I was just thinking how nice it is to have someone who really loves you pick you up at this hour.”

Something strange flashed past Amelia’s eyes, but she remained silent.

When the both of them headed to the ground floor, Oscar was nowhere to be seen. To Amelia’s surprise, she saw Carter’s car parked at the side of the road.

At the sight of Amelia, Carter straightened his back and walked toward her. Rory was dazzled by the handsome man making his way in their direction. She subconsciously glanced at Amelia and asked, “Do you know who he is, Amelia?”

Amelia didn’t answer the question.

It didn’t take long before Carter arrived in front of her and stared intensely at her.

“Amelia,” he said softly.

She glanced at Rory and said, “This is a friend of mine. He needs me for something. You should head back first. There’s no problem for you, right?”

Rory still had a lot of questions, but their friendship, or at least the appearance of it, still wasn’t at the point where she could insist on staying. Therefore, she nodded in agreement. However, she was getting incredibly jealous that handsome rich men kept appearing around Amelia. Even though they were both women, their ability to attract the opposite sex couldn’t be any more different.
