Chapter 766 Good News
Oscar was infuriated after that meeting with Teddy. He couldn’t even keep on working. He was worried that Amelia might take the offer just to become the best designer in the world. It would separate them for a year or two at least, and four to five years at most. They would have to travel far and wide just to meet up. Not only would Amelia miss out on seeing Tony grow, but they would also have little time together too.
He only recommended Amelia to Teddy just so her talents would be recognized. He never thought Teddy would try to take her away from him. He’s an idiot.
He wanted to call Amelia, but he just couldn’t bring himself to do it. He heaved a sigh and tucked his phone away. Eventually, it was time to get off work. Oscar packed up at lightspeed and left.
He took the elevator and ran into Isabella the moment he emerged from it. “Oscar!” she called. Oscar ignored her. Isabella wasn’t mad. Instead, she said vaguely, “Congratulations, Oscar.”
Oscar stopped in his tracks and turned around. “Why did you say that?”
“Teddy told me he wants Amelia to study abroad. He’s gonna tutor her himself. I think she won’t reject that offer. It’s a nice one.” She smiled. Oscar looked even more upset now. He went straight for the exit without even looking at Isabella.
She caught up to him quickly and grinned. “I know you’re sad, but look at it another way. She’s blessed that Teddy wants to tutor her. Not everyone has that chance. If I’m as talented as she is, I would have taken up the offer.”
Oscar stopped in his tracks. “That’s enough, Isabella.”
Isabella stopped smiling. She acted as if the realization had just struck her. “Oh, are you upset?”
Oscar went away again. He refused to entertain her.
Isabella stopped following him. Instead, she saw him off as he went into the night. A smile curled her lips. “Fate’s on my side this time, Oscar. I’ll make sure Teddy gets her overseas, and I’ll get a hypnotist to hypnotize you. And then we will have gotten married when she comes back. You’re mine.”
She felt smug and wanted to laugh, thinking that everything was under her control and that she was already the winner. Lady Luck is smiling on me.
Her thoughts didn’t reach Oscar. He got into his car and drove all the way to Amelia’s company.
Amelia and Jolin were already waiting. When they saw his car, Amelia told Jolin to get into another car, then she went into Oscar’s car.
She buckled up and said, “You’re late, Oscar. I tried to call you, but you didn’t pick up. I thought you were in trouble.”
Oscar took his phone out. The battery was dead. “Sorry, I forgot to charge it.”
Teddy had upset him so much that he forgot to charge his phone. He was also worried that Amelia might actually go overseas. It scrambled his mind and messed things up.
Amelia noticed his bad mood, so she held his hand and asked gently, “What is it? Did something happen at work?”
He shook his head. “It’s nothing.”
That does not look like nothing at all. “We’re a couple, Oscar. We promised we’d be honest about everything. I can’t be happy if you aren’t,” she said seriously.
Oscar heaved another sigh. He patted her cheek and changed the subject. “Teddy told me he hopes you can study abroad.”
Oh, so that’s what he’s upset about. She was amused. “And you’re worried I might say yes?”
He pursed his lips and said nothing.
She patted his cheek in return and chuckled. “You dummy, I have a family here, and you love me to bits. Why would I give my family up for something as shallow as fame? I’m not that stupid.”
Oscar heaved a sigh of relief. “Let’s go home.”
He’s feeling happier now. A smile curled her lips. “Let’s go home.”
Thanks to that little episode, they had a much lovelier time at night. Amelia woke up the next day feeling sore and exhausted. She almost couldn’t get out of bed.
Oscar came in holding breakfast. He quickly approached her and held her up as gently as she could. “Does it hurt? Sorry. I might have been a bit rough last night. Let me see if you’re hurt anywhere.”
Amelia leaned against his chest. When she finally felt some of her strength returning, she said, “What’s the time now?”
“It’s almost ten. I told your boss you’re taking the day off. You just netted a great designer for Shane. He’s over the moon, so he gave you two days off. Rest well. Here, I made you your favorite. Eat.”
Amelia shook her head. “I need to get my teeth brushed first. And I’m going to work in the afternoon. It’s not the first time I took the day off. I don’t want anyone calling me a slacker.”
Oscar wanted to tell her he would purchase the whole company if anyone called her a slacker, but he swallowed his words. Amelia hated it every time he tried to brag.
“Sure. But only if you’re feeling fine.”
Amelia shot him a look. None of this would have happened if you didn’t pound me so hard.
She rested for the whole morning and felt a lot better, then she asked Jolin to drive her to work.
To her surprise, Teddy was waiting for her.
One of the employees approached her. She looked excited and envious at the same time. “It’s your lucky day, Amelia. Mr. Rice came over first thing in the morning and said he’d be your tutor. He’s a big shot in the industry. You’re gonna get famous if he becomes your tutor. People would kill to get this chance.”
Amelia’s lips twitched as she looked at Teddy. What is he trying to do?
