Too Much to Bear, My Love

Chapter 71

Carter’s face darkened at what he had just heard. “Listen, Jennifer. Firstly, what we have is nothing more than an employer-employee relationship. Secondly, there’s nothing romantic between us. Please don’t say things that might let others have the wrong idea.”

As he said that, Carter stole a glance at Amelia, worried that she might have misunderstood the situation.

“You’re distancing yourself from me for a woman like her?” Jennifer spat as she shot Amelia a dirty look.

Amelia continued to look straight ahead, not wanting to respond. Even when I’m silent, I still manage to stir up drama. So much for saying silence is golden.

“If you’re going to be like this for the rest of the ride, then please get out of my car right now,” Carter replied coldly.

Jennifer said nothing more, but the fury in her eyes was evident.

Amelia cleared her throat in a bid to defuse the tension. “I think it’d be better if I sat this one out, Mr. Scott. Why don’t you attend the lunch appointment with Ms. Larson? I can just go somewhere else for lunch.”

“No, we’re almost there. And besides, I’ve already gotten the hotel staff to prepare a nutritious pregnancy meal for you. It’d be good for the baby,” Carter replied, his voice tender.

“You didn’t have to go to so much trouble, Mr. Scott. I’m not suffering much from morning sickness, and I’m not picky with food. I’m fine with eating anything.”

Jennifer interjected, her voice dripping with sarcasm, “Hey Carter, looks like someone doesn’t appreciate your kindness. Why do you keep throwing yourself at a married woman anyway? Do you really want to be seen as a homewrecker and tear up the happy couple?”

Carter tightened his grip on the steering wheel. He was furious, but he decided against arguing back since they were almost at their destination.

The private dining room that had been reserved was already occupied by five other people by the time they arrived. The two women were both about twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Judging by their good looks and acute fashion sense, it was very likely that they were in charge of their company’s public relations. As for the three men, one of them looked to be in his thirties, while the other two were in their forties.

As the trio walked in, the five of them immediately stood up to greet them. The older-looking middle-aged man spoke up, “Finally, Mr. Scott! It’s good to see you.”

“Sorry to keep you waiting. We were stuck in traffic.”

“Don’t worry about it, we only just got here too.”

After exchanging pleasantries, Carter, Amelia, and Jennifer took their seats.

The man who had just greeted them briefly introduced his team before focusing his attention on Jennifer and Amelia. He was taken aback by their sheer beauty.
