Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 457 Pray It Is Not Them

After finding out Amelia had been threatened, Oscar immediately left for her office.

Amelia was stunned by Oscar suddenly showing up at her office. “Oscar, what are you doing here?”

It was as if he knew about the insecurities deep within her despite the brave mask on her face. Oscar walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her, leaning his chin on her head. “Why didn’t you tell me about receiving such a despicable thing?”

Amelia relaxed a little as she leaned her head against his chest, listening to the familiar heartbeat beating softly against her ear. Her racing heart began to calm to a steady rhythm at the constant thumping.

“I thought I could handle it, and I didn’t want you to be worried. Yet you still found out in the end.” Her voice came out muffled as she buried her head into his chest. “But I’m still happy that you’re here.”

The design department’s manager, Eduardo Moore, approached Oscar with an ingratiating smile. “Mr. Clinton, you’re here.”

“Mr. Moore, I thank you for taking care of my wife. I’m grateful that you chose to inform me about the suspicious package that she received instead of hiding it from me,” Oscar expressed his gratitude bureaucratically, an arm wrapped around Amelia’s waist.

Eduardo shook his head and replied hurriedly, “There’s no need to thank me. I’m the one who is grateful that Amelia chose to work in a small company like ours. You don’t have to thank me for something so menial. She must have had a hard day today. I’ll let her get off work early today to rest at home.”

“Thanks. I’ll be taking her back then. I thank everyone here for taking care of my wife on my behalf. The bill is on me for your next visit to the bar,” Oscar promised as his gaze swept across the entire group.

Everyone’s jaw dropped at his appreciation. They never thought he would be the kind to express his gratitude so openly since Oscar always had a scary aura emanating from him.

A commotion stirred within the design department as they watched Oscar walking away with Amelia. Some employees even approached Eduardo and probed, “Mr. Moore, you addressed that man as Mr. Clinton. Is he the heir to Clinton Corporations? And Amelia is his wife? Oh my goodness! I’m dead. I was rude to Amelia. What should I do? Will I lose my job if Amelia gets angry and tells Mr. Clinton about it?”
