"I'll go with you." Cole stood up, looking worried about her.
Amber was touched and amused. "No, thanks. I'm just pregnant, not injured. I'm fine by myself."
After that, she grabbed her purse from the rack and left the office, driving to the hotel.
Coincidentally, when Amber arrived at the hotel entrance, she met Jared and his assistant, Ben.
They had just arrived as well. They didn't expect to meet Amber here, looking a bit surprised.
"Good day, Ms. Reed," Ben greeted her.
Amber nodded at him in response.
Then she glanced at Jared and greeted him, "Hello, Mr. Farrell."
Jared hummed, paused his pace, and let her enter first.
However, Amber wanted to let him enter first.
After all, Jared was the sponsor of the project and the owner of this hotel. She believed she should be after him.
Hence, they stood in front of the entrance without going inside. The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
In the end, Ben returned to his senses and understood Amber's thoughts. He coughed and reminded Jared in a low voice, "Ms. Reed wants to go in after you, Mr. Farrell. I know you want to be after her, but you are the project sponsor. If you don't go in, Ms. Reed won't enter either."
Jared frowned slightly.
He had never expected her to pay so much attention to the business manners.
That made sense. If she hadn't cared about it, she wouldn't have blamed Makenna for skipping the line in the resort.
Thinking of that, Jared walked into the hotel.
Ben followed him.
Looking at their receding figures, Amber breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, they walked in. Otherwise, she was about to break the business rules.
People who broke the business rules would be isolated by other counterparts. So in the end, Jared and Ben walked in first.
Amber lifted her purse on her shoulder, took a deep breath, and entered the hotel.
She walked to the elevator and pressed the button to go up.
Much to her surprise, as soon as she pressed it, the light on the button went out automatically.
She wondered what had happened.
Was any elevator opened?
Amber frowned and wanted to find the opened elevator. Then she heard a voice. "Ms. Reed, here."
She subconsciously looked over, only to find that Ben poked out his head from the third elevator in the row while smiling at her.
Amber understood what had happened.
No wonder right after she had pressed the button, the light went out.
It turned out Jared and Ben had been waiting for her in the third elevator.
Seeing Amber standing in front of the first elevator motionlessly, Ben urged, "Ms. Reed, hurry up and come in. We're waiting for you."
Amber parted her lips. "No, thanks. You can go upstairs first. I..."
"We'll be late," Ben interrupted Amber's refusal after receiving Jared's gaze.
Upon hearing it, Amber raised her wrist to check the time on the watch. That was true. They only had a few minutes.
It seemed she had to take the same elevator with them.
Amber heaved a sigh and entered it.
Seeing the man standing in the center of the elevator who emanated a strong aura, Amber looked down a bit and said, "Thanks."
"Not at all," Jared cast her a glance and answered.
Amber stood in the corner in silence.
Jared didn't speak, either.
As the subordinate, Ben couldn't speak when his boss didn't.
