Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 492

Thinking that Cole had invited her to attend the party, Amber smiled bitterly.

What a coincidence!

Fortunately, she refused him. If Jared saw her at the party tomorrow, probably he would think she appeared in his face purposely.

Amber was unwilling to give him any chance to look down upon her.

However, when Amber thought that Rebecca would be Jared's date, her heart sank.

She sat down, grabbed the mouse, and clicked to browse Rebecca's social media page.

Amber frowned when seeing the photos of bags, cars, shoes, and cosmetic products posted on her page.

Rebecca kept showing off on her social media page, just like a nouveau riche.

Amber didn't think a woman like Rebecca was a match to Jared.

They didn't suit each other in terms of appearance, family background, and personal cultivation and connotation.

If Jared really married Rebecca, Amber would doubt his taste.

"Excuse me, Ms. Reed?" Suddenly, there were a few knocks on the door.

Amber was shocked. She hurriedly quit the web page and looked at Sheila at the door. She forced a panicked smile, "Yes... What's wrong?"

She blamed herself for feeling so guilty.

She had just viewed a woman's social media page. Why did she have a sense of guilt?

Sheila was also confused why Amber panicked. She didn't overthink and put down her hand. "Mr. Delgado's assistant reminded me to ask you to attend the meeting."

"I see. Thank you. I'll go there now," Amber nodded and answered.

Sheila turned away.

Amber cleaned up her desk, held her laptop, and walked to the door.

The meeting took two hours.

When she returned to her office, she received a call from Cole.

"Babe, I can't find any other woman. Can I borrow Sheila, please?" he asked.

Amber raised her head to glance at Sheila, who was sitting opposite her while sorting files. With a smile, she said, "I'm totally fine with it. Sheila was your secretary before, and you lent her to me. I'll ask her if she is willing."

Upon hearing Amber mention her, Sheila stopped sorting out the files and looked up at her. "Ms. Reed, was it Mr. Lyon?"

Amber smiled. "Yep, it was him. He'll attend a party tomorrow, and he's looking for a date. He wants you to be his date tomorrow."

"Me?" Sheila pointed at her nose, looking surprised.

Amber nodded. "Right."

"No. No. I cannot." Sheila seemed to be shocked. She instantly stood up while waving her hands, meaning she couldn't go.

How could she be Cole's date?

Only a close friend or a girlfriend could be a man's date.

Sheila wasn't Cole's girlfriend or close to him. She didn't think she could be his date.

"Why not?" Amber looked at her in confusion.

"I... I..." Sheila lowered her head, gripping the dull black business skirt tightly. She stammered but couldn't utter a word.

She was afraid of loving Cole more deeply after being his date once, but she couldn't tell Amber.

Amber didn't know what was in her mind. She thought Sheila was tense as she had never attended a party as any man's date before. With a smile, she comforted Sheila, "It's alright. You'll just have dinner with Cole and meet some business tycoons. No big deal. Don't be afraid."

"Ms. Reed, why won't you go?" Sheila suddenly asked her. "Mr. Lyon must want to invite you, Ms. Reed."

Amber smiled. She didn't hide from Sheila. "I can't go because Jared Farrell will go there tomorrow as well."

Sheila was rendered speechless.

It turned out Mr. Farrell would be there, so Ms. Reed wouldn't go.

It must be pretty awkward if the divorced couple appeared on the same occasion.

"So, please be Cole's date tomorrow. If you can't go, Cole has to go there alone. He also doesn't want to take any unfamiliar woman with him. Hence, you are the other woman he's close to besides me," Amber looked at Sheila and said solemnly.

Sheila was moved by her last line.
