Falling In Love With My Ex-Wife (Stella and Clarence) novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Jared Is Just Too Good at Dealing with Her

It suddenly started to rain when Amber drove to Red Plum Club and the rain was getting heavier and heavier.

When she arrived at the place, she found there was no parking space in the underground garage. So she had to park her car in the open parking lot. As she had no umbrella in the car, she could only put her bag over her head and rushed into the rain.

In fact, the lobby was not far away. But due to the heavy rain, she still got wet. When the cold wind blew, she shivered all over.

When a waiter saw her like this, he immediately brought her a towel.

"Thank you." She wiped her hair while asking, "It's Friday today, so there must be many guests here, right? Are Mr. Longman and the others still playing cards in the same private room?"

The waiter thought she was a friend of Mr. Longman, so he replied, "Yes. Room 1103 has always been reserved for Mr. Longman."

Knowing the room number, she showed a slight smile.

After the waiter left, she went to the front desk and ordered a pot of top quality tea and some desserts.

Just as she carried the plate towards the private room, several men pushed the glass door open and entered the lobby.

When Jared looked up, he suddenly noticed a woman with a slender figure walking towards one of the private rooms.

The woman looked quite similar to Amber…

"Mr. Farrell?" A man next to him saw Jared standing there so he asked carefully, "What's wrong?"

Jared withdrew his eyes and replied, "It's nothing."

Amber did not know that Jared had also come here. She entered the room with a smile carrying tea and desserts.

She looked around the room and saw four men sitting at the card table in a Victorian style room. They were playing cards and chatting so leisurely and happily. And there were two young girls accompanying two of them.

Amber had read the information of Wisemas before and quickly recognized its boss, Mr. Longman. So she walked over and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Longman."

Mr. Longman who was playing cards only threw a glance at her. "Hey, who are you?"

"I am Amber Reed from Goldstone Co." She put down the tea and desserts on the table with a smile.

She added, "I came here to meet a friend. He played cards with you before and praised your good skills. Since our companies once had worked together, I thought I should come and say hello to you. I did not disturb you guys, did I?"

Mr. Longman said, "Oh." At this time, the man sitting on the south side of the table asked, "Is your father Hugo Reed?"

"Yes," she replied.

"I used to be familiar with your father. I played cards with him and he was quite good." He sized her up and down with an fishy look.

She chose to ignore his gaze and said with a smile, "Yes. My father is good at playing cards and that's why he can play with you, Mr. Yates."

As the two chatted, the four men finished a round.

The man got up and waved at her. "My back hurts a bit playing for a round. You can help me and try for a round."

She showed an embarrassed look and said, "Mr. Yates, I don't know how to play cards."

"Since your father is so good at it, how bad can you be?" He continued to beckon her. "Come here. If you really don't know how to play, I will teach you."

Mr. Longman also said, "You play for Mr. Yates. If you truly don't want to play, then go out. Don't spoil our fun."

She sensed his displeasure from his words.

Since Goldstone Co. was in a bad situation and no capitalists was willing to purchase it, so Mr. Longman guessed that only his Wisemas could deal with her batch of overseas goods. That was why he acted so arrogantly.

Amber knew what she should do to get help from Wisemas.
