"What?" Amber was confused.
The granny smiled and said, "Quarrels are inevitable in a relationship, but you have to learn to compromise. This young man is quite sincere when apologizing. He also bought you breakfast. Forgive him. There aren't many considerate men out there nowadays. If you don't treasue him, you might regret it in the future."
"No, Ma'am. I..."
The elevator arrived.
The granny patted Amber on her shoulder and stopped her, "Miss, think twice about what I've told you."
Then, she looked over at Jared. "Young man, don't make your girlfriend angry in the future. It's fate that brought you together. You shall cherish her."
"Yes, Ma'am. I remember it. Thank you." Jared nodded at her to thank her.
In the past, he hadn't cherished Amber. In the future, Amber would be the most important for him.
Seeing that Jared was obedient, the granny took the grandpa's arm and walked out of the elevator together.
Amber's destination hadn't arrived, so she didn't go out.
Scratching her hair, she felt annoyed and said, "What the heck? Jared Farrell, you bastard! The granny mistook us for lovers. And you didn't even correct her!"
Jared pressed the close button. "I didn't want to embarrass her if she knew she had made a mistake."
"I don't buy it." Amber glared at him. "You and your ulterior motives."
Jared raised his eyebrows and admitted it in default.
Amber rubbed between her eyebrows and calmed down. "All right. I won't argue with you this time. If it happens again, I won't let go of you so easily, Jared Farrell."
She looked at him coldly.
Jared felt a pang in his heart. He lowered his eyes to cover his sorrow and hummed. "Okay. How about the food..."
"I don't want it," said Amber flatly. Ignoring him, she walked out of the elevator and towards her parked car.
Jared followed her while holding the food bag.
Amber also ignored the footsteps behind her. She pulled out her car key and pressed the button to open the door. Then she sat in and drove away.
Jared stood while watching her leave, pressing his thin lips slightly.
Ben, who came over to pick Jared up, watched the whole scene not far away. He shook his head and heaved a sigh.
It seemed Jared still had a long way to go win Amber's heart.
...
At Goldstone Co.
Amber was dealing with the piled documents. Sheila knocked on the door and entered her office. "Excuse me, Ms. Reed. Someone from Mendara Inc. wants to see you."
"Mendara Inc.?" Amber raised her eyebrows.
Sheila nodded. "Yes. The president of Mendara Inc. is here."
"Must be for Chloe Mendez, right?" Amber curled up her lips into a mocking smile.
"Yes, it is. He wants to apologize to you," Sheila answered.
Amber snorted. "What's his offer? Did he bring anything? He's not sincere at all, just like the last time."
Last time, Mrs. Mendez blocked her way in front of the courthouse and apologized to her. She wanted Amber to spare Chloe unconditionally.
Of course, Amber didn't actually care about the gifts or compensation. However, if they wanted to apologize to her, they should at least show their sincerity.
Mr. Mendez seemed to be the same this time.
Amber had to admit that sure enough, they were a couple, so they did things in the same way. Probably, Mrs. Mendez knew she wouldn't let go of Chloe, so Mr. Mendez went to see her deliberately.
Did they think she would let go of Chloe since Mr. Mendez had come here?
