Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber) -
Chapter 628 Ben Was Upset
"Okay," Jared nodded and followed her out.
Forty minutes later, they arrived at Goldstone.
Amber got off the car and walked around the car to knock on Jared's window on the other side.
Jared rolled down the window.
Standing straight, Amber said, "I'm leaving. You'd better go back to the Farrell Group with Ben. Drive safe."
"Don't worry, Miss Reed. I will keep Mr. Farrell safe." Ben turned around to reply at the driver's seat.
Jared looked coldly at Ben. "Did I tell you to talk?"
Ben shouldn't answer Amber ahead of Jared.
He must feel uncomfortable.
Meeting Jared's warning look, Ben realized that he shouldn't say. He shrunk back and quickly turned around to stay invisible.
Alright, he was buttoning his lips.
Amber burst into laughter when she looked at the serious Ben and the grumpy Jared. "Alright, it'll be rush hour soon, hurry up and go. Or you'll get stuck in traffic." Jared nodded slightly. "Alright, Ben, drive."
"Yes," Ben started the car.
Suddenly, something clicked in Amber's mind. She placed her hand on the window to stop him from rolling it up.
"Wait."
"What's wrong?" Jared's hand left the knob and asked.
Amber bit her lower lip hesitantly. "Don't turn off your phone... in the next two days."
She had promised to stay with Jared on the day of his mother's death.
Her grandmother told Amber that Jared would act strangely on that day.
There were just two days away. So, Amber should make sure Jared's phone was on so that she could contact him at any time. "Why?" Jared was confused.
Amber's eyelids flickered. "No reasons. Just do as I said"
She didn't dare to mention his mother's death now.
Otherwise, she had no idea how he would act.
Jared stared at Amber for a while before nodding in return. "Alright."
Amber heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "Promise?"
"My phone will be on 24/7." Jared took out his phone and shook it.
Amber nodded. "Good. Also, stay with your phone. Do you understand?" Jared nodded. "Okay."
"Alright, that's it. Bye!" She waved at Jared and walked towards the building.
Jared stared at her back for a while until she entered the building. Then, he rolled up the window and instructed, "Drive."
"Yes," Ben responded and started the car.
On the way, after struggling inside for a while, Ben glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "Mr. Farrell, what does Miss Reed mean? Why did she ask you to keep your phone on for the next two days and stay with it?"
Jared half-closed his eyes in silence.
Why?
He had probably guessed it had to do with his mother's death.
Otherwise, why didn't she ask him to do this earlier or later? Only the next two days. He couldn't think of anything else other than this.
Someone must tell her about his mother's date of death.
He had guessed who would be the whistleblower.
On an evening two days ago, grandmother sent Jared away to talk to Amber alone in the pavilion. That was probably what they were talking about.
When Jared was lost in thought, Ben shifted his attention to the road again.
On the other side, Goldstone.
Sheila was waiting for Amber outside her office as usual when Amber arrived. She scurried up to greet her and followed behind her to report on today's schedule.
Since Amber became the chairman, Amber's routines had more than doubled. But too little time, too many things.
After that, Amber had Sheila cross out a few unimportant and unnecessary items. The rest of the schedule was still filled to the brim.
This made Amber both miserable and happy.
Painfully, she didn't have time to relax, but on the good side, the more thing she managed, the better her control over Goldstone.
Pulling out a chair to sit down, Amber placed her bag on the desk. She took the schedule from Sheila and flipped through it before putting it aside. Then, she looked at Sheila and instructed, "Tell the HR department to issue a note about Braylee taking a week's leave."
Sheila knew why Amber did so.
Braylee hit her head hard to the ground when she bowed to Amber yesterday. That was common she needed to stay in the hospital for the next few days.
"Alright, Chairman." Sheila pushed her glasses and smiled knowingly.
Amber smiled back and said, "Alright, that's it. You can go."
"Yes," Sheila nodded and turned to leave.
After she left, Amber rubbed the space between her brows and began to work.
After working for about ten minutes, her phone buzzed.
Amber put down the pen and took her phone over. It was a message from Jared.
Z: I've arrived.
Amber smiled gently and typed: Good for you.
Jared quickly sent another message: Movie tonight?
Amber raised an eyebrow.
Jared didn't intend to give up even after Amer rejected him yesterday.
Since he was so persistent, Amber chose to take a step back.
At the thought of this, Amber's lips curled up into a smile when she replied: Ok.
On the other end of the phone, Jared's eyes were crinkling.
She agreed! He did it!
"Ben," Jared put down his phone and picked up the landline.
In the next office, Ben had just turned on his computer when he answered his call. "Mr. Farrell, anything else?"
"Get me two movie tickets for the same movie as yesterday," Jared ordered.
Ben raised an eyebrow. "Mr. Farrell, does Miss Reed agree?"
Jared snorted coldly. "Of course, she'll agree. She was just busy yesterday. You know nothing!"
At this moment, Jared should add "You lonely man" at the end of the sentence.
But he didn't.
Ben pictured that in his mind. Okay, now it sounded pretty much like Jared.
Perhaps Jared didn't add this out of his upbringing.
Ben's lips twitched involuntarily.
That made Ben both furious and jealous.
Sometimes, Jared should be proud of not being lonely.
Being single for 30 years, Ben suddenly felt sad. He was the same age as Jared, who was about to get married again.
Ben was upset, but he still maintained a professional smile on his face as he replied, "Alright, Mr. Farrell. I understand. I'll do it as I finish my work."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
