Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 1056 - The Complexity of the Heart

And during this period, Cole's gaze has always fallen on her, even if her figure has disappeared outside the door for a long time, have not retracted, as if looking into the same.

Finally it was Amber who tapped him on the shoulder, which made him take his eyes back and turn his head back.

"What's wrong?" Cole asked, touching the shoulder that Amber had tapped.

Amber looped her arms up and looked behind him in the direction of the gate before finally fixing her gaze on him, "I was going to ask what was wrong with you, staring in the direction Sheila left all the time, calling you twice and you didn't even respond."

"Who said I was staring at her, I was just thinking about something." Cole got a little emotional and hastily retorted.

Amber saw that he refused to admit what he had just done, so she rolled her eyes, "Okay, if you don't have it, you don't have it. But I'm telling you Cole, when you come to my place in the future, you can't be weird with Sheila, she's my secretary now, not yours, so that's not very appropriate."

Anyway, as Sheila's current boss, she has to defend Sheila, anyhow.

Sheila must not be bullied here at Cole.

"Good." Cole skimmed his mouth and waved his hand, "I'll ignore her in the future, okay? I don't think I'm being mean to her anyway, you didn't see her face when she faced me, that expressionless look, I didn't say she deliberately gave me a look, you blame me for it."

Amber's mouth twitched, "Cole, you're being unreasonable, isn't Sheila's attitude towards you the same as it used to be? How come Sheila came to me for a few months and you can't accept the way Sheila used to treat you?"

Cole was stunned and was speechless.

Yeah, the way Sheila faced him to say hello was indeed no different from the way she used to treat him.

I didn't even think Sheila had a problem with this in the past.

Why now, but not like it?

Cole lowered his eyes and felt an indescribable sense of irritation in his heart.

A moment later, he pulled back his chair and sat down, once again waving his hand, "Forget it, forget it, don't talk about it, it's disturbing to talk about." Amber gave him another blank look.

Upset?

This is not his own a strong stare at Sheila, the back dislike Sheila's attitude, must be tangled?

Why are you upset now?

But Amber always respects the meaning of others, Cole does not want to talk about this, then do not say.

At that moment, there was another movement from the office door.

An assistant-like woman appeared at the door with a tray and knocked on the door, "Chairman, the coffee is here."

Amber smiled at her and nodded, "Come on in!"

"Yes."

The assistant answered, put her hand down, walked in with a tray in both hands, and then put two cups of coffee, respectively, in front of Amber and Cole.

After releasing it, the assistant was about to turn around and leave.

Cole called out to her with obscure eyes, "Wait."

The assistant stopped and looked back at Cole, "Does Mr. Lyon have any more orders?"

"Where's Sheila?" Cole swirled the coffee in front of him, his tone flat and unspoken of his mood.

Amber sat across the table and watched him, not opening her mouth, wondering what Cole was going to ask.

The assistant held the tray vertically in her arms, remembered Sheila's explanation just now, and smiled back, "The secretary-general just took a phone call, and there was work she needed to handle, so now she went to work, and specifically instructed me to bring in the coffee."

Cole didn't say anything anymore, his eyes narrowed as he looked at his coffee cup, not knowing what he was thinking.

The meeting room went quiet for a moment.

The assistant stood there, not to go, not to go, but to look at Amber for help.

Amber held her forehead, and felt a few headaches about Cole's behavior.

"Cole......"

Amber was about to open her mouth to relieve the situation.

Cole took a sip of his coffee and threw his cup on the table with a thud.

The sound that came out also startled Amber and her assistant.

"Is there something wrong with her, or is she deliberately making excuses not to send herself in, I don't think I need to say the answer explicitly, do I?" Cole looked at the assistant, his eyes uncertain of joy and anger.

The assistant's mouth opened, wanting to say something, but in the end said nothing and put her head down.

Amber couldn't look away and waved her hand at her assistant, "Ella, you go out first."

"Yes." Hearing Amber's words, the assistant's heart rejoiced and she was instantly pardoned, hurrying towards the door and leaving the office.

After the assistant left, Amber's expression was slightly sullen as she looked at Cole who looked unhappy across the room.

Apparently, Cole was unhappy about the assistant's departure, because he still had something to say.

"Cole, I asked Sheila to bring in the coffee instead, so you don't have to blame Sheila for not bringing it in herself." Amber looked at Cole and said in a light voice.

Cole's hand on his coffee cup tightened slightly, "Why are you doing this?"

"Why?" Amber pinched her brow and explained somewhat heartily, "Cole, haven't you noticed that Sheila is afraid of you? I don't know what happened between you two to make Sheila so afraid of you, I only know that I am now Sheila's boss and have the responsibility to protect her, since she will feel uncomfortable and scared when she sees you, then of course I have to find a way to avoid her meeting you, so it's normal for me to do so, isn't it?"

She spread her hands.

At the same time, it also deliberately hid the fact that it already knew what had happened between them.

Cole's focus is not on Amber, but in her words.

When he heard Amber say that Sheila was afraid of herself, for some reason, he felt as if his heart had been grabbed by someone and was very uncomfortable.

"Why is she afraid of me?" Cole's lips moved slightly in a low murmur, as if asking Amber, and as if asking himself.

Amber gave him a blank look, "Don't you know best in your heart why? Anyway, you guys are suddenly like this."

." Cole squeezed his coffee cup again and fell silent.

He seems to, like, know why.

After that night, he said a lot of excessive things to Sheila.

Maybe it was these words that made Sheila so afraid of him.

Sheila's fear of herself and her avoidance of herself should, by definition, make her happy, shouldn't it?

After all, that's what he wanted in the first place.

But now that he really sees Sheila treating him like this, he has some indescribable feeling of irritation in his heart.

It also made him realize that he ...... didn't seem to like the fact that Sheila was really scared of him and avoided him.

What is this all about?

Cole looked down at his hands, his eyes and expression, all in a daze.

Amber saw him like this, although I don't know what he was thinking, but I guess it had nothing to do with Sheila.

She shook her head and lightly snapped her desk again, "Well Cole, enough about Sheila, you don't treat Sheila right now anyway, wouldn't it be just as well that Sheila doesn't bring you coffee?"

Of course not!

Cole subconsciously tried to get the words out.

But the words came to his lips, and then he suddenly reacted that it was not quite like him to say.

So, he swallowed the words again, gave a hard swallow, nodded slightly, said with a slight smile in his tone, "You are right, it is indeed good not to have to see people you don't want to see." After saying that, he picked up his coffee and drank it.

The delicate coffee cup, just blocking the sinking corners of his mouth, makes it impossible to tell that his expression was not as bland and happy as his tone when he said it. The heart and mouth are not the same, and that's probably it.
