Back then, it was Amber standing and watching him leave. He had known it but never turned around to look at her.
However, right now, it was his turn to watch her leave.
It turned out that watching another person leave without getting a glance back or response could make him suffer so much.
Jared slightly looked down to cover his chest, feeling bitter and a pang.
The parking lot.
Amber and Cole came to the car.
Cole opened the door. "Babe, what is wrong with Jared Farrell? He wanted to apologize, but why did he come to you in person?"
"Who knows?" Amber shrugged, sat in the car, and answered casually.
Cole followed her in. "I just don't understand what's in his mind."
Amber smiled. "If you do, you'll achieve the same as he has. All right. Just drive. Your mother will call us soon and ask us why we haven't arrived yet."
"All right. All right." Cole nodded and started the engine.
On the way, Amber's phone suddenly rang.
Amber opened her eyes, pulled out her phone, and took a look at the caller ID, looking surprised.
Cole noticed it from the corner of his eyes. He asked, "Who is it?"
"Jeremy!" Amber said and swiped to answer the call.
Upon hearing it, Cole curled his lips in silence.
"Hello, Jere," Amber said to the phone happily.
Jeremy's gentle voice sounded. "Amber, will you be available in a few days?"
"Of course. Why?" Amber asked.
Since she had become the business partner of the project, Bernardo gave half of the management power to her. Right then, she had more management power in Goldstone Co. Hence, she didn't need to do everything herself but let her subordinates handle it.
She naturally could make time.
"My work overseas is almost done. I'll go back in a few days. May I have dinner with you, Amber?" Jeremy said with a smile.
"Right. You've been on a business trip for two months. It's time to come back. Sure. Call me when you are back. I'll go pick you up at the airport," Amber agreed instantly.
"Okay," Jeremy answered. He narrowed his eyes and said in a gentle but cold tone, "Amber, how have you been in the past two months? Have Makenna Gardner and her family bullied you?"
When he had just arrived abroad, he wasn't busy, so he paid attention to Amber.
However, he got busier later, so he didn't have time anymore. Hence, he didn't know if Makenna and others kept bullying Amber or not.
"I've between very well. As for Makenna and her family," Amber said, and her smile faded, "No worries. I'm not a pushover. I've fought back right away."
"It means they still have bullied you, Amber." Jeremy looked down to hide the cold look in his eyes.
Amber smiled. "All right. As I said, I'm not a pushover. So, please don't worry. I'm fine. By the way, is it still evening at your side? You should go to bed now."
Seeing that she was unwilling to tell him about the details, Jeremy didn't insist. He twitched his lips and smiled creepily. "All right. I'll go to bed now. See you in a few days, Amber."
"Ehn. See you." Amber nodded.
After the phone call finished, Cole asked, "Is Jeremy coming back?"
"Right. A few days later." Amber put away her phone.
Cole coughed. "Did Jeremy ask you if Makenna and her family had bullied you?"
"Right. He's worried."
