Too Much to Bear My Love

Chapter 643 She Is Perfect

“Mrs. Hisson, let’s find a place where we can sit down and chat,” June invited.

When June called her bodyguards stationed nearby, a group of five to six men appeared out of

nowhere and swiftly walked to her side. Thrusting her chin in the air, she replied, “Mr. Wick, I’m sorry. I

have suddenly lost interest in your devious games. I have to go shopping instead, bye.”

As Kate turned and left under the heavy escort of her bodyguards, she looked just like a noble queen.

Watching how Kate disrespected him, June’s interest was piqued. it turns out that Chanaeans don’t

keep their words at all. Not too long ago, we were the best of partners. However, all it took was a few

seconds for us to turn into enemies. Interesting! Interesting, indeed!

Falling into a foul mood, June clenched his fists so hard that his knuckles began to crack.

Nevertheless, he quickly got a grip of his own emotions. After getting into his car and driving off, he

stopped in front of a florist.

“Mister, may I know what kind of flowers you are looking for?” the owner inquired cordially after

approaching him.

“Do you have any white tulips?” June asked.

“We do.” The owner handed June one to sniff. After that, June nodded and ordered, “Give me eleven

stalks, and wrap them up nicely.”

“Sure.” After bringing out eleven white tulips, the owner had them all packed for June in about ten

minutes. He asked with a smile, “Mister, is there anything else you need? Such as roses, or perhaps,

tulips of other shades? If you’re giving them to your girlfriend, I’m sure that she will like roses a lot.”

June broke into a smile before turning on his manly charm. “No, to me, roses are the most vulgar

flowers of all. Girls should only receive white tulips or orchids, which symbolize purity and innocence,

just like a white piece of paper.”

At that moment, the store owner was mesmerized by his smile.

By the time she regained her senses, June had already left.

After that, he arrived at the ground floor of Amelia’s office in his car.

Just when Amelia was discussing with Shane the concerns their client had with the blueprints, a knock

rang out from the door.

The secretary informed him, “Mr. Franklin, Mr. Wick is here.”

Pausing their discussion, Shane raised his voice, “Get him to come in.”

With that, she explained to Amelia, “June is here. If you don’t want to see him, you can leave first.”

When Amelia got to her feet, she heard the doorknob turn. Shrugging her shoulders, she commented,

“Looks like I’m going nowhere for the time being.”

Even though she didn’t like seeing June, she had always been professional and wouldn’t let her

personal feelings affect her work.

Upon entering the office, June closed the door behind him before swiftly walking toward Amelia. He

declared with a smile, “Only tulips are worthy of a beauty like you.”

Looking at the white tulips raised in front of her, she knew exactly what they meant. The flowers

symbolized purity, while eleven of them indicated his devotion to her. She was clearly aware that June

was telling her about how pure she was and conveying the fact that he was willing to give her an

equally immaculate relationship.

Given that he is openly pursuing me despite the fact that I’m married with kids, I can’t help but suspect

that he has ulterior motives. There’s no way I can admire such a crafty man.

“Mr. Wick, thank you for the flowers, but I’m allergic to them. I’m sorry,” Amelia rejected them at once.

June raised his brow with a smile. “Is that so? In that case, I’m truly sorry. Nevertheless, I still feel that

the white tulips, which symbolize purity and devotion, represent the epitome of who you are. Just like

an angel who descended from heaven, your beauty isn’t of this world. Any man who could have you

would be considered the luckiest one on Earth.”

Amelia forced a cursory laugh.

At that moment, Shane walked up and extended his hand to June, slickly defusing Amelia’s

awkwardness.

“June, what brings you here today?” Shane asked.

“Mr. Franklin, my team and I have gone through the proposal you sent and find it to be comprehensive.

Therefore, I plan to collaborate with you on the condition that Amelia acts as a translator for me.

Considering this is work, I’m sure she won’t let her personal reasons get in the way,” June answered as

he gave Amelia a discreet glance.

Shane replied with a smile, “June, we have employees who major in Erihalese, Remdikien, and

Ferropenian too. All of them have gone through vigorous exams overseas and specialize in translation.

Thus, I can arrange for them to be your translator.”

“I just prefer Amelia, Mr. Franklin. Don’t worry, I’m only interested in her abilities and nothing else. As a

gentleman, I’ll never force her to do anything against her will,” June asserted with a serious expression.

Briefly stunned, Shane continued with a smile, “June, you enjoy pulling our legs, don’t you?”

Smiling in return, his eyes fell upon Amelia.

Interrupting June’s line of sight discreetly, Shane added, “Let’s have a seat over there to discuss our

collaboration.” At the same time, he instructed, “Amelia, you should get back to work. As for the draft,

just make the changes according to the client’s specifications, and it’ll be perfect.”

Amelia nodded at both men. “I’ll be taking my leave.”

Just when she walked to the door, June’s voice rang out. “Amelia, you should give the matter proper

consideration and draw the line between your professional and private life. I believe it’s not your

intention to let your personal reasons hold back the company’s progress.”

Amelia turned around and replied cordially, “Relax, Mr. Wick. As long as Mr. Franklin assigns me the

task, I’ll not decline it.”

With that, she opened the door and left.

When June broke into an intriguing smile, Shane threw him a glance as his eyes glistened grimly.

Nevertheless, he quickly suppressed the emotions that were welling up within him.

“Mr. Franklin, I wonder if you have made a decision with regards to my request for Amelia to act as my

translator?”

“June, I’m sorry, but I’m unable to give in to your request. When Mr. Clinton agreed to let Amelia work

here, he had done so with the condition that she does nothing else other than design. Besides, she

isn’t a professional translator. Thus, it’s inevitable that she will make mistakes. Why don’t I arrange for

a few professional translators instead, and we can leave Amelia out of it. After all, I can’t afford to

offend Mr. Clinton.”

“Are you saying that you rather offend the Adertons?”

After giving him a look, Shane broke into a wry smile.

“June, I’m truly sorry. Even though the Adertons are a distinguished family, they are still based

overseas, unlike the Clinton family who reigns in Tayhaven. Therefore, I cannot afford to get on Mr.

Clinton’s nerves or I will lose everything and be thrown onto the street like a beggar.” Despite the smile

on his face, Shane expressed his stance firmly.

“In that case, I presume you have made your decision?”

“I’m sorry, June.”

June clapped his hand and smiled. “Mr. Franklin, you truly are a straightforward person, and I like that.

If you had forced your employee to entertain your clients just to protect your own interest, I would have

rescinded my offer to work with you. Since you have proven yourself to be someone principled from

this test, I have decided to collaborate with your company. In fact, I have even brought the contract,

and all we have to do is sign it.”

Shane was dumbstruck by the sudden turn of events.

Despite cursing in his heart, Shane signed the contract. At the same time, he didn’t expect June to

have signed the contract in such a haphazard situation, for the usual protocol was to have many other

high-ranking employees present. Furthermore, both sides would have gone through tough negotiations

to arrive at that price that was the most beneficial to them. Consequently, Shane was delighted by how

easygoing June was. Even if there were terms in the contract that were unfavorable to him, he wasn’t

bothered as he put his signature down.

Considering the way he manages his company, I’m not sure if he is truly serious or just doing it for fun

because his family is rich. Hopefully, it’s the former.

At that moment, Shane began to doubt June’s capability at work.

When June got up from the couch, Shane did the same out of courtesy.

June extended his hand and remarked, “Mr. Franklin, I’m delighted that my first partnership in Chanaea

is with your company. I do hope that you will put your best foot forward when it comes to our project.”

Taking his hand to shake, Shane replied in a professional tone, “June, we have long heard of the

Adertons but never had the opportunity to work together. Thus, it is an honor for our company to have

officially started this partnership with you. As a result, we will definitely go above and beyond to make

this project a success.”

“I look forward to it.”

As both men locked gazes, both of them saw in each other’s eyes the desire to secure the project.

After signing the contract, they put work aside and began making small talk.

“Mr. Franklin, do you mind if I ask you a personal question?”

“Go ahead.”

“I heard that you knew Amelia before this, is that true?”

Nodding, Shane replied candidly, “We went to the same university.”

“Good! It seems that you and her share a deep bond which I’m envious of. Considering how wonderful

she is, why didn’t you pursue her back then?” June gave Shane a curious look.

“She deserves better.”

“No, no, Mr. Franklin. I don’t like it when you’re putting yourself down. If you truly fancy a girl, you

should go all out to court her, just like me. The very first time I laid eyes on her, I could sense that she

was a cut above the rest. Therefore, I had no qualms about using the Adertons influence to move to

Chanaea. My sole purpose is to get her to go back with me.”

At that moment, Shane’s eyes were filled with scorn and wariness.

Even though he didn’t appreciate June’s aggressive attitude, he wasn’t powerful enough to afford to fall

out with the latter.

“June, you have got to be kidding me, for Amelia is already married. In Chanaea, coveting someone

else’s wife is generally frowned upon. Given the innumerable beauties out there, I’m sure you won’t

have any trouble finding a partner given your looks and family background. Hence, what’s the point in

being stubbornly fixated on a married woman?”

“No, No, you don’t understand. Amelia is just so gorgeous that she deserves better.” June put on a

swooning expression, but only he knew how much of it was sincere.

By then, the way Shane looked at him gradually grew colder as the initial enthusiasm he felt began to

dissipate.
