Too Much to Bear, My Love

Chapter 152 Special Treatment

“Ah, you’re our boss’ friends. Please come on in!” Those in the security firm were welcoming as they led Amelia and Tiffany into the firm and brought them chairs. “Zach, fetch the ladies some tea. Make sure it’s not too hot.”

Zach quickly headed to the pantry. In no time, he was back with two cups of tea.

Within a minute, the coffee table was full of snacks and drinks. Amelia and Tiffany were overwhelmed by their hospitality.

The latter stuttered, “T-The p-people here are very welcoming.”

One of the employees said, “Well, this is a special treatment for beautiful ladies.” In other words, they wouldn’t treat them with such hospitality if they weren’t beautiful.

Tiffany let out a dry laugh.

Amelia was confused when the guys had their eyes fixated on her curiously. One of them spoke up, “Hi, you must be Gary’s wife. You’re so beautiful; no wonder Gary never let us meet you. He always tells us that he is not married, but everyone could tell that it’s a lie. Otherwise, he wouldn’t leave the office on time every day. We even teased him, saying that he is secretly married. Now we know why he hides you from us; you’re gorgeous even when you’re pregnant.”

Amelia felt a little awkward by their overwhelming hospitality. Unlike any other dreary office setting, a loving and harmonious atmosphere surrounded Gary’s security firm. The employees felt like a big family.

With a polite smile, Amelia responded, “Actually, I only met your boss yesterday. We are here looking to hiring bodyguards.”

Tiffany shielded Amelia while she jokingly said, “Gentlemen, Amelia is seven months pregnant now. I’ll call the cops if you guys scare this pregnant lady with your overwhelming hospitality.”

The guys were visibly disappointed. “So, you’re not Gary’s wife?”

Amelia shook her head.

Seeing that, the guys howled in disappointment. “Aw, we thought Gary has finally acquired a good taste in women that he found herself a beautiful wife. It turns out you’re someone else’s wife.”

Knowing that Amelia was not Gary’s wife, they shifted their gaze to Tiffany. “Do you know Gary? Are you his girlfriend? You look pretty. We will be more than happy if you are to marry our boss.”

This time, it was Tiffany feeling awkward. “Gary and I are just friends. I’m afraid I will have to disappoint you.”

“You’re married?”

“Do you already have a boyfriend?”

“Do you mind if I ask how old are you?”
