Chapter 239 Easing of Relationship

“You’re getting more and more arrogant now. Don’t you know what to say and what not to say? It looks like I don’t need a secretary like you. As of today, you’re transferred to the personnel department, so you don’t have to work beside me, and you don’t have to do all the housekeeping in my house.”

“What? Mr. Byron! You can’t do this to me! I didn’t do anything wrong, and I was lacking in tact. But I would definitely pay attention to it next time!”

“You don’t have a next time! Isn’t your lack of tact a mistake? Do what you should do, and don’t stay here.”

After Lamont finished speaking, he dragged Amelie into the office.

Miriam saw they were intimate, and it did hurt her.

She had worked hard for so long, wanting to stay by Lamont’s side, and she was about to succeed, but then her dream was destroyed by Amelie.

She was so furious that she gritted her teeth and even wanted to tear Amelie into pieces.

Now there was no way to work with Lamont, which meant that she had no hope, but she didn’t want to give up without a struggle. As long as there was any chance, she would definitely jump at the chance to be Mrs. Byron.

Amelie walked into Lamont’s office, and she was relieved until the door was closed.

“I was talking nonsense just now. Your secretary is too arrogant, and I just can’t stand it. So don’t take my words seriously.”

Amelie explained quickly, but the more she explained, the more guilty she seemed.

“Is that so? But I think what you said is what’s really on your mind.”

“Lamont! Stop teasing me. I was just talking nonsense. You and I are friends at best right now, so don’t think about

it.”

Amelie hurriedly sat on the sofa at one side, trying to ease the embarrassment.

“Well, let’s pretend that I didn’t say anything, but I will always remember it.”

Lamont said with a smile, then walked to her side and sat down.

“Why did you suddenly think of coming to me? Is there something wrong?”

“I know that Willard has put a lot of pressure on you recently, and I’m a bit worried, so I came here to see if there is anything I can help with.” Amelie finally calmed down.

“Don’t worry. He’s not much of a threat right now, and he’s just doing something to make me sick.”

“Didn’t Willard want to cooperate with you before? What about now? Has he given up the idea?”

“Of course not. Willard kept sending me project proposals, pretending to be very sincere, but I knew he was just trying to set me up. It doesn’t matter. The company is running smoothly now, so even if he is secretly doing something bad,

I can handle it. Don’t worry about it. How about you? When are you going to get the Mullen Group back?”

“I’m afraid there is no chance now. Those shares have been sold by Willard to different people and businesses, so it won’t be easy to get them back. In addition, Aaron seems to have had trouble recently, and he doesn’t have extra attention to the company. But, I don’t want to think about it so much now. What I need to do now is to protect my family so that they won’t get any more harm.”

After Amelie finished speaking, she took a sip of water.

“I understand what you mean. And don’t worry. I get your back.”

Lamont’s words did reassure her a lot.

“By the way, I met Mr. Evans when I went upstairs. Why did he come to the company? Do you have any cooperation

with him?”

“You saw him?”

“Yeah. I saw that he walked into the operation department, and I didn’t know what he was going to do, so I wanted to tell you that. But I didn’t expect that Miriam would stop me at the office door and waste so much time that I could tell

you now.”

Lamont sighed, “There is indeed cooperation between Mr. Evans and me, but it is not too important. So it’s indeed strange that he came here today, and he didn’t tell me in advance. It seems that the person he came here for is

mysterious.”

Lamont raised his eyebrows as if he was wondering about something.

‘Are you worried that he’ll make trouble?”

Amelie’s guess was right.

“I have to be cautious because Mr. Evans is not a simple man. He’s working with me on a project that’s not very important, but he’s invested 2 million dollars in it, so I have to be careful. Looks like I need someone to find out if he has a source inside the company.” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“I think he is not simple as well. How could someone inexplicably invest in a television drama and ask me to play the lead actress? It’s really unbelievable.” Amelie quickly echoed.

“His purpose is not pure, and you must stay away from him. Don’t, have any contact with him.”

“Don’t worry. I know that.”

“By the way, my dear girlfriend, would you like to have dinner with me tonight? I’d like to take you to a new

restaurant.”

“No…”

As soon as Amelie finished speaking, she immediately realized something.

“Stop calling me that and stop joking. I told you I was not your girlfriend, and I was just…”

“All right. I know that I am rooted in your heart, and you just have been suppressing yourself. Why? The past has been the past. And I want to be with you. I want one more chance.”

“But… But I really don’t want a relationship. After so many things, I don’t have much attention to a relationship. As you said, the past has been the past.”

Amelie still rejected him.

Although Lamont was a little disappointed, he was not discouraged.

At least after what happened today, he guessed that Amelie still had a place for hum in her heart. So no matter how hard it might be, he would definitely move her.

“Fine, then I’m going to take you to dinner tonight. There are so many things happening these days, so let’s take a break.”

Amelie did not refuse, because she really needed to relax now.

Fortunately, Emilee’s condition had improved a lot, and she could feel at ease.

Amelie thought the place to eat was a little remote, but it was only a ten–minute drive away.

It was a French restaurant, and it looked nicely decorated.

As soon as they entered the private room, the waiter came over.

“Mr. Byron, what would you like to eat?”

Lamont handed the menu to Amelie.

“I don’t know what to eat and I don’t know much about it. So you order the meal, and I’m going to the bathroom.”

Amelie got up and walked towards the bathroom.

After walking a few steps, she saw a familiar figure. It was Leila.

Why was she here?

Sitting opposite Leila was a man Amelie had never seen before. There was a piece of paper in front of them, and they

were talking fiercely as if arguing.

Although Amelie felt a little curious, she didn’t care and went straight into the bathroom
