Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Don’t Bother!

Mr. Farrell?

Amber looked towards the door and met with Jared‘s cold gaze. Within a second, she moved her eyes away and let go of the teapot in her hand.

“Mr. Farrell, what brings you here?” Mr. Yates also stood up, greeting him politely.

These four men in the room were all much older than him. But they knew clearly about his ways of doing business.

Besides this, the Farrell Group was quite successful and they dared not offend him to his face.

Jared glanced at Amber and walked in, speaking in a low voice, “I know that Mr. Longman is here, so I come to say hello.”

“It‘s Friday, so we come here to play cards for amusement.” Mr. Longman suddenly changed his arrogant tone and said with a smile, “Just now Miss Reed came to us to talk about the purchase and played with us for a few rounds.”

Mr. Yates also chimed in, “Yes. Amber‘s father was my friend. Her father was quite good at playing cards. But she did not have good luck today and lost several times.”

The other two men also said a few words and took the opportunity to exchange business cards with Jared.

But Amber fiddled with her cards and remained silent.

After taking the two men’s business cards, Jared walked towards Mr. Longman with his long legs and said impassively, “You guys keep playing. I will just watch you play.”

Mr. Longman instantly understood and immediately gave him a seat.

Jared pulled out the chair and sat down. At a close distance, he found that the high collar of Amber’s sweater was wet and some hair stuck on her delicate neck.

When drawing the cards, Amber let out a few coughs.

Sensing the coldness, he looked at the open window and went over to close it. Then he called for a waiter, “Bring in a blanket.”

Noticing his attitude, Mr. Longman and the others eyed at each other.

But Amber was still ignoring Jared and his words. After organizing her cards, she threw one

out

Soon the waiter brought her a blanket.

“Thank you, but I am not cold.” She politely took the blanket, tucked it behind her chair and continued to play

When Jared saw her like this, he frowned and felt a bit upset.

She had never been in business and yet she dared to come here to play cards with these men. Didn’t she fear that they would take advantage of her?

Perhaps because he was here or because others knew his relationship with Amber, they suddenly stopped talking dirty and the atmosphere became peaceful.

Mr. Longman and the other men even intentionally lost to her.

She had seen their true faces, so she simply sneered in her heart, pretending that she didn‘t know what they were doing and threw out cards randomly.

The more cards she threw, the worse she played. But the others dared not defeat her.

Jared heard her cough a few more times and frowned tighter. When she was about to throw another card, he leaned over, took a card from her and threw it on the table.

She smelled his fragrance and felt even dizzier, leaning backwards a bit.

Soon the situation changed. Jared basically helped her draw cards and play for her.

Mr. Longman looked at him and said to Amber with an ingratiating smile, “A few days ago, an long–term client suddenly asked for an increase of purchase. I did not tell my business department about this and directly signed the contract. I only knew today that your overseas goods are also urgent. Miss Reed, I am sorry.”

He added, “I will call the business department later and we can sign a contract tomorrow morning at nine o‘clock. I will make sure that the factory will maufacture what you need as soon as possible.”

“Yes, yes…” Mr. Yates forced out a smile and stuttered, “Mr. Farrell, you misunderstood us. We didn‘t bully Miss Reed.”

Mr. Yates sat down in his chair as if he had fallen into a trance. “Didn‘t they get a divorce?”
