Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) -
Chapter 603 Braylee's Farce
"What has Mr. Hancock reported to you?" Amber asked, pinching between her eyebrows.
Jared picked up the coffee mug and took a sip. "This is the first time he has reported your company information to me. He hasn't done it before. I just told him to report the big event to me instead of all the trifles."
"I see." Amber nodded. " Mr. Hancock has also attended the general meeting of the shareholders. You should know what has happened in the meeting, right?"
"Uh-huh." Jared nodded.
Amber snorted. "Then why are you still calling me?"
"I want to hear your voice," Jared whispered.
Amber blushed. Subconsciously, she stood upright. "I... What's so good about my voice?"
"I love it." Jared raised his chin. "Besides, I miss you."
Amber blushed more. She raised her hand to stork her cheek, feeling the heat.
She fanned with her hand, wishing to bring down the temperature.
However, it didn't work at all. Instead, her cheeks became hotter because of her nervousness and racing heart.
"Don't... Don't talk nonsense," Amber said in a low voice, lowering her head.
"I'm not talking nonsense. I'm serious. Amber, shall we have dinner together?" Jared invited her.
Amber parted her red lips. She wanted to refuse, but in the end, she said yes.
Receiving the positive answer, Jared curled up his lips more. "Okay. I'll go find you in the afternoon."
"Okay." Amber had already said yes, so she couldn't go back on her word.
She couldn't stop him from coming over, anyway.
Besides, after they started dating in another half month, they would often have meals together. This was just an occasional date.
"By the way, are you calling me to ask about the meeting?" Amber asked after calming down by rubbing her cheeks.
Jared put down the coffee mug. "Right. You did a good job, Amber."
Amber smiled. Then she shook her head. "In fact, I didn't do a good thing. I should thank Grandpa, Cole, and Jeremy for their help. If they hadn't helped me purchase the company shares in the past six years, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to gain back Goldstone."
Upon hearing her words, Jared knew it was true, but he felt a bit jealous.
After all, he hadn't done anything to help her with this matter.
Amber seemed to sense his disappointment on the other end of the line. Tossing her hair, she added, "Of course, without the cooperation between your branch company and Goldstone, my company wouldn't have stabilized so quickly. I do need to thank all of you."
"You are welcome, Amber. I ought to do something for my loved woman." Jared smiled again. Evidently, Amber's words delighted him again.
They chitchatted a bit before hanging up the phone.
Starting at the phone, Amber smiled. Then she put it away, picked up a pen from the pen container, and began to work.
In the afternoon, Amber pushed the documents she had finished dealing with aside. Then she checked the time on her laptop- it was half-past five. She would knock off in half an hour. She guessed that Jared would arrive soon.
Thinking of that, she turned off the laptop, picked up the landline phone, and dialed Sheila's number.
Soon, Sheila entered. "Ms. Reed, did you want to see me?"
"Please send those files to the departments," Amber said, pointing at the pile of documents.
Sheila nodded. "Okay, Ms. Reed."
She walked up, held them, and walked out of the office.
Amber also stood up, starting packing her belongings, ready to knock off.
Suddenly, she overheard Sheila's exclaim outside her office. Then there was a dropping sound of something heavy and sounds of dropping things.
"What happened?" Amber hurriedly put down her bag, raised her head, and looked over.
Sheila was sitting on the floor in a startle at her office door. Several documents dropped to the floor behind her.
Hence, the dropping sound was caused by Sheila's fall. And the rest sounds were caused by the dropping files.
"Sheila, are you..."
Amber was about to ask if Sheila was all right, and she suddenly heard a harsh voice. "What are you doing? Are you blind? How dare you bump into me!" Amber's face turned gloomy.
She learned what had happened to Sheila instantly.
When Sheila opened the door while holding the files, Braylee must have come over. Then they bumped into each other.
Amber didn't know how Braylee was, but Sheila fell to the floor. She could tell from Sheila's expression that she must feel quite painful.
Braylee's voice sounded so spirited, so she shouldn't be hurt at all.
How shameless Braylee was to scold Sheila!
Besides, Amber wondered why Braylee had come to her office without permission.
With those thoughts, Amber walked over with a stern look. She helped Sheila up and asked with concern, "Are you OK?"
Sheila was moved and answered, "I'm OK. Thanks, Ms. Reed."
"Are you sure?" Amber was still worried. "If you are injured, you must tell me. You can't hide it."
"Don't worry, Ms. Reed. I know. I'm awesome. Just a minor pain. Not a big deal," Sheila answered with a smile, adjusting her glasses.
Amber nodded. "Okay. That's good."
Meanwhile, Braylee overheard their conversation. Seeing them ignore her, Braylee couldn't tolerate it. She planted her hands on her hips and said arrogantly, "Amber, your secretary has bumped into me. Don't you even ask me how I am?"
"Ms. Reed, I didn't bump into her," Sheila hurriedly explained, "When I was about to open the door, she opened the door suddenly. I was knocked over by the door. I didn't even touch her. Ms. Reed, please believe me."
"I believe you." Amber patted her on her shoulder with a smile. Then she scowled at Braylee. "Heard what my secretary said? She didn't bump you."
"Hah? You can't only listen to her. Does she have any witnesses?" Braylee sneered in disdain.
Amber pointed up. "How about the surveillance camera?"
"What?" Braylee's expression changed dramatically. Disdain vanished from her face. She looked panicked. "Did you say the surveillance?"
She hurriedly looked up, following Amber's finger. In the middle of the door frame, she saw a small camera.
Hence, she looked more annoyed.
Amber looked at her in sarcasm. "Do you still insist my secretary has bumped into you? If so, I'll get the surveillance video and call the police to sue you for deliberately provoking and slander. Hence, your reputation would impact Goldstone. I'll suspend you from being the managing director. In this case, you'll become the managing director who has been promoted and fired the fastest in history. I'm sure you'll become famous in the circle."
"You..." Braylee's face twitched in anger. She clenched her hands tightly.
Amber looked down at her movements. "Why? Do you want to hit me? Go ahead. In that case, you'll have another crime, intentional wounding, which can send you to jail."
"Humph!" Braylee dared not to make a move at all after hearing Amber's words. She reluctantly loosened her fists.
Amber looked over at Sheila, who had already picked up the documents. "Sheila, you can go back to your work now."
"Ms. Reed, may I stay? What if she..." Sheila glanced at Braylee on unconcealed alert.
Amber knew that she was worried that Braylee would bully her. Feeling warm, she smiled, "It's alright, Sheila. I'll be fine. No worries."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
