Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 504 The Promotion

After finding out that Lydia was suddenly promoted to be the supervisor, Rory was the one who was most shocked. She glanced at George and found that he, too, was surprised. Then, she shifted her gaze and looked at Amelia, noticing the latter was smiling happily as if she was sincerely happy for Lydia to be promoted. Although Lydia tried her best to suppress her joy, her face was beaming with excitement.

A wave of mixed emotions washed over Rory. She had always seen Lydia as her rival, and now the latter had become her superior.

It was only at that moment that Rory felt the workplace was unpredictable and ruthless.

Therefore, she didn’t even hear what Lydia said at the meeting following the announcement.

After the meeting ended, Amelia saw that Rory was still in a daze, so she nudged her and asked, “Rory, what’s wrong? Are you not feeling well?”

Rory returned to her senses, forced a smile, and replied, “My tummy’s not feeling well. Maybe I have food poisoning. I’ll have to excuse myself to the toilet.”

“Go ahead. Take the day off and rest at home if you really don’t feel well,” said Amelia.

Rory nodded and quickly left the conference room.

Amelia was about to leave, too, when Shane’s voice rang out behind her. “Amelia.”

She turned her head and smiled. “Greetings, Mr. Franklin.”

“There’s no one here. Just call me by my name.” Shane grinned. “Becca made a big fuss last night. I hope it didn’t affect you and Mr. Clinton.”

“It’s not a big deal. It’s because Tony is still young and doesn’t know much. Please apologize to Chelsea on my behalf.” Amelia raised the folder in her hand and said, “Once I get the chance, I’ll treat her a dinner as an apology.”

“Chelsea wasn’t mad, but she said she felt sorry about what had happened. She even said great things about you last night. She may look gentle and friendly, but she’s wary as to who she mixes with. Although she is not beautiful, she is very independent. I’m glad she likes you.” Shane’s face was filled with tenderness as he spoke about his wife.

“Shane, it seems that you love your wife very much,” Amelia looked at him and commented.

“Of course, I love her. She is a woman worthy of a man’s love.”

“I thought you were only attracted to gorgeous ladies. I wasn’t expecting that. Indeed, Chelsea looks ordinary, but she’s pleasant to talk to. I felt very comfortable, as if there was an instant connection between us. Hence, I can understand why you’re so in love with her. If I were you, I’d be attracted to her as well.”

When Shane heard that, he couldn’t help but laugh. “If she heard that, she’d be thrilled. I think you’ll definitely become good friends.”

The duo then went to Shane’s office, and as they entered, he said, “I gave Lydia a chance according to your suggestion. How are you going to repay me?”

Amelia shrugged her shoulders and uttered, “Mr. Franklin, isn’t that your duty?”
