Chapter 151,Love You Enough to Leave You
After Tiffany ended the call, Amelia asked, “Was that Shannon?” Tiffany nodded. Then, Amelia
remarked, “It seems like those working as an editor are all but night owls. They work tirelessly just to
get a book published.” Tiffany stood up and stretchedzily. “Editor is a high-risk profession. They are
at a higher risk of sudden cardiac death as they always need to work off-the-clock.” Amelia shook her
head in disagreement. She thought Tiffany was exaggerating it. “Babe, go take your shower and then
go to bed. It’ste now, and the baby needs some rest.”
Ameliaplied as she entered Tiffany’s bedroom and took a new set of pajamas. Then, she took a
warm shower in the washroom. It was already half-past-three in the morning after their shower. As it
was past their usual bedtime, they found it difficult to fall asleep. Lying on the bed, Tiffany asked,
“Babe, I’m not sleepy at all. What now?” Amelia said, “I’m not sleepy as well.” Tiffany turned to face
Amelia. “Why don’t we have a chat?” “About what?” “Well, tell me what you think about Oscar. How do
you feel about him?” Amelia blinked her eyes, feeling confused. “What do I think about him?”
Tiffany asked cautiously, “Babe, I don’t mean to pry into your personal affairs nor was it my intention to
rain on your parade. It’s just that Oscar is indecisive between you and Cassie. If—only if—he chooses
Cassie in the end, what are you going to do?” The smile on Amelia’s face gradually faded while her
face grew serious as she mulled over Tiffany’s words. Tiffany felt bad bringing up such a heavy topic in
the middle of the night. Without waiting for Amelia’s response, she shrugged her shoulders and
decided to end the topic. “Babe, I’m feeling tired. Let’s sleep now.”
Amelia shed her a relieved smile. “Tiff, I’m okay. We can talk about it. Well, I’ve actually thought of
the worst that can happen between Oscar and me. Yet, I don’t want to be so pessimistic about our
rtionship because the future is full of uncertainty. After all, he has indirectly promised me that he will
genuinely treat me as his wife.” Tiffany couldn’t help feeling guilty for spoiling the mood. “Babe, I’m
sorry. I didn’t mean to dishearten you. I hope more than anyone else that you and Oscar can have a
happy ending. Trust me! I really wish you, Oscar, and the baby can live happily together.” Amelia found
her reaction amusing. “Tiff, I know you’re just concerned about me. We are besties, after all.
How can I not know what’s on your mind?” She paused for a while before she continued, “Tiff, to be
honest, I need to thank you for waking me up when I almost lost myself in his sweet words and small
favors.” Tiffany hugged her friend while she spoke under her breath, “Babe, I’m sorry. I know you’ve
been through a rough time over the years. Actually, I feelplicated seeing you morphed into a
stunner, from a carefree little girl. It’s like witnessing an innocent little girl being forced to grow into an
adult who has a lot to worry about in life.” Amelia sat up. She called out to stop Tiffany from being
sentimental, “Stop! Tiff, you’re treating me like one of your female protagonists. I’ll just let nature take
its course.
It’s best if Oscar and I can end up being together. If our rtionship breaks up, I still have Sweetheart
with me. I suffer no loss at all in sacrificing five years in exchange for my precious baby. If we end up
divorcing each other, that means we are not fated to be together.” Tiffany scrutinized Amelia’s
expression. “Babe, is that your genuine thought?” Ameliay down beside Tiffany. Then, she replied,
“Of course, that’s my genuine thought. For me, it’s too much to ask for love. As you know, the marriage
between Oscar and I is a contract marriage. The two of use from two totally different worlds; our
families have a huge social gap. Hence, our marriage is not going to be easy.
Initially, I thought our marriage would onlyst for a year. I never thought we would still be together after
five years, and we will even be expecting a baby soon. I think it’s already a bonus for me.” Her words
made Tiffany’s heart ached. The next moment, she heard Amelia’s low voice, saying, “It’ste now.
Let’s sleep.” She nodded and turned off the bedsidemp. As for Amelia, she kept her eyes open,
staring into the darkness. After a while, she suddenly let out a sigh. “Babe, are you not asleep yet?”
Tiffany asked softly. Amelia murmured, “Almost.” Tiffany sighed after Amelia. Once again, she
apologized, “Babe, I’m really sorry. I should’ve thought twice before I ask something.
Don’t take it to heart. You know I didn’t mean to upset you.” Amelia chuckled. “Don’t be silly! We’ve
known each other for so many years; no one knows you better than I do. I will really be mad if you keep
apologizing.” Feeling relieved, Tiffany broke into a smile. Within five minutes, the twodies were sound
asleep. At ten in the morning, the two of them were awakened by the ringing phone. With her eyes half-
open, Tiffany groped for the phone and answered it. An unfamiliar voice of a man was heard over the
phone, “Are you still sleeping?” Since the voice didn’t ring a bell with her, Tiffany said harshly, “Mr.
whoever-it-is, you’ve got the wrong number.
Just so you know, it’s an offense to disturb a woman trying to get her beauty sleep. That’s it. Goodbye!”
With that, she hung up. It was not even a minute after shey down on the bed when the phone rang
again. This time, it was Amelia’s phone that was ringing. Amelia nudged Tiffany and muttered, “Tiff,
help me answer the phone. I’m too tired.” Tiffany had always been the grumpy type in the morning. One
could imagine how terrible her mood was when her sleep was disturbed twice. She picked up the
phone and then gave the person on the line a roasting. “I don’t care whoever you are, but you’d better
be calling because you have an emergency. Or else, I will chop you into pieces.
I’ll let you know what a terrible mistake you’ve made in disturbing my sleep. Now shoot!” For a long
time, she received no response as if the person on the line was frightened. Tiffany then took a look at
the screen. The number seemed familiar, yet she didn’t think too much since it was an anonymous
caller. Growing impatient, she raised her voice as she asked, “Who the hell are you? I only slept at
three in the morning, and I’m tired. If you got the wrong number, end the call, will you?” Gary hesitated
for a second before he spoke, “Tiffany, I’m Gary, Gary Laird. We met yesterday. Do you still
remember?” Instantly, Tiffany was wide awake. She said with a hint of uncertainty, “Gary?” “Yes, it’s
me.
Do you recognize me?” Tiffany hopped out of bed and found Gary’s name card from her purse. It
turned out that the number of the caller matched with the ones on the name card. At that instant, she
couldn’t help feeling sorry for her harsh attitude. “Oh, Gary, I’m really sorry. It waste when we got
home yesterday, and we didn’t get to save your number. Amelia is still sleeping, so I answered her
phone for her. I’m sorry, I’m usually a little grumpy in the morning. I hope I didn’t scare you or did I?”
“No. Well, your morning grumpiness is indeed one of a kind.” Tiffany could feel her cheeks burning. “I’m
sorry about that.” She quickly switched the topic. “So, why are you calling early in the morning?”
“Didn’t you say yesterday that you wanted to visit my security firm to choose your own bodyguards? I’m
free today, and I can introduce them to you.” “Gary, you’re sure a man of action! I’ll go wake Amelia up
now. See you in two hours!” “You guys can take your time and have breakfast before youe. I’ll be
at the firm for the day. You cane wherever you want.” After a short pause, he added, “Let Amelia
sleep if she’s tired. There’s no rush.” To some extent, Gary was a rather insensitive person. He was not
even curious about the pregnant Amelia living with her bestie instead of her husband.
Meanwhile, Tiffany was slightly bewildered. She felt that Gary’s concern for Amelia had exceeded the
norm. Not to mention, they had only met once. She started to worry if Gary had fallen in love with
Amelia at first sight. Like what Gary said yesterday, Amelia was indeed a woman full of tremendous
charisma. Most women would stay away from her because of jealousy. In contrast, men would easily
be attracted by her charisma and soon fall for her. Tiffany shook her head to get rid of the undesirable
thoughts. Then, she made her way to the bed and gently pushed Amelia to wake her up.
“Babe, it’s time to wake up now,” she said softly. Amelia stirred and slowly opened her eyes. She
looked alluring in her half-asleep state whilezily stretching like a cute kitten. Tiffany felt her heart
flutter. “Wake up now! Oh, Amelia, you have no idea how sexy you look right now. If there was a man in
the room, he would’ve lost control of himself.” Amelia nced sideways at her and asked, “What’s the
time now?” Tiffany answered, “It’s almost ten. Gary called just now. He asked us to go to his security
firm to choose your bodyguards. We’ll go in the afternoon if you’re free because I need to work on my
script tonight when wee back.”N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.
Amelia nodded in response. The two of them then washed up and prepared themselves. Tiffany
grabbed two dresses from her wardrobe and handed the pale yellow one to Amelia. “Babe, I bought
this for you a couple of days ago. Try it on.” Amelia held the dress in front of her body and then went to
get changed. Tiffany looked at her from head to toe when she came out of the fitting room in the dress.
Finally, with a snap of her fingers, shemented, “Wow! Babe, no wonder a man would say you’re
addictive and deadly like an opium poppy. That’s the highest form of ttery! Your charisma can easily
drive a man crazy. If I were a man, I would definitely fall head over heels in love with you.”
Amelia was amused at her exaggerating manner. “You’re talking nonsense again.” Then, she urged,
“Now hurry and go get changed. We’ll grab something on our way there.” “There’s no hurry. Gary’s
security firm will be open the whole day. We can go there a bitter.” “Oh, Tiff, he has called us
personally. It’s impolite to keep him waiting. Go get changed now.” Tiffany pouted, yet sheplied
eventually. Soon, the two drove to a restaurant nearby and had their breakfast there. After that, they
headed straight to Gary’s security firm. The name of Gary’s security firm—Gary’s Security Firm was
clear-cut, which suited perfectly with the style of its owner. It was located on the eighty-ninth floor of a
building in the city center.
Being a medium-sizedpany with more than two hundred employees, it was considered one of the
largest security firms in the city. Both Amelia and Tiffany never thought the hardy and rugged-looking
Gary would own such argepany. It really resonated with the saying that one should never judge
a book by its cover! Tiffany uttered, “Gary already owns such a hugepany at the age of thirty-one.
Yet he doesn’t even look or dress like an elite.” Amelia nodded in agreement. “Tiff, we should give him
a call and tell him we have arrived.”
The call got through in no time, and Gary’s voice was heard, “Hello.” “Gary, are you at the office now?
Amelia and I have arrived.” “Where are you? I’ll go down and pick you up.” “We’re in front of your office.
You cane out and meet us.” “Alright. I’ll be there in a moment.” Amelia and Tiffany’s arrival had
caught all the male employees’ attention. Initially, they intended to act undemonstrative and reserved in
front of thedies. Yet, it was not long before they showed their true colors, rushing up to thedies. A
tall and young-looking man beat the others to it as he asked, “Ladies, are you looking for someone?”
Tiffany looked up at him and said, “We’re looking for your boss.”
