Hypnotizing Love novel Chapter 553

Amber nodded and didn't hide. "Yes, she did."

Cold looked annoyed instantly. "What did my mom say to you?"

"Nothing much. She just talked about our current relationship," Amber answered while looking at him.

Cole clenched his fists. "That's my business. She's so nosy!"

Seeing that he was unhappy about his mother, Amber frowned. "Cole, Auntie did it for our own good."

"I don't need her to meddle in." Cole seemed to be quite angry, his face reddening.

"Cole..."

"All right." Cole took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress his irritation. He said calmly, "All right, B... Amber, you've got time?"

Amber nodded with a smile, "Of course, Cole."

Cole finally looked less annoyed after hearing her answer. "I'm sorry. I must have startled you just now. Mom called me earlier. She said she had a talk with you and asked me not to waste any effort on you. I was worried she might have scolded you, so I came here."

Amber understood and nodded. "Don't worry. Auntie didn't scold me. She's always kind to me."

"I'm relieved, then." Cole breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past two days, he had been in a lousy mood. He drank, refused to go out, and looked haggard, but it was all because of himself.

When hearing that his mother had talked to Amber, he was afraid his mother would blame Amber.

Fortunately, his mother wasn't as unreasonable as he had imagined.

"Cole." Amber stood up. "Are you upset that Auntie is involved with our stuff?"

Upon hearing it, Cole looked a bit annoyed. "Sort of, but it's fine."

He had to admit that he was being too hesitant and cowardly when he secretly admired Amber for many years.

However, he was thirty years old already. He didn't need his mother to meddle in his love.

He felt ashamed.

That was why he reacted so fiercely after knowing that his mother had talked to Amber.

"Auntie is worried about you." Amber tried to convince him.

Cole checked his watch. "I know, Amber. All right. It's late. I must go now."

With those words, he walked to the door.

After taking a few steps, he suddenly saw Sheila in the office, squinting. "Hey, you, come out with me."

Sheila trembled, lowering her head more. She answered in a low voice, "Yes, Mr. Lyon."

They walked out of Amber's office one after another.

Amber looked at their backs, tilting her head in confusion.

She felt Sheila was afraid of Cole.

It was too weird.

Sheila used to work for Cole before. She was his secretary for several years. Only a few months ago, Cole let her work for Amber.

Hence, Amber could tell Sheila always respected Cole but never feared him.

She wondered why Sheila feared Cole now.

What on earth had happened between them?

Outside her office, Cole stopped at the elevator.

He turned around, looking down at Sheila. In a cold tone, he asked, "You didn't tell her what had happened that day, did you?"

Sheila knew what he was referring to.

She immediately shook her head. "No. Absolutely not. Even if you don't tell her, I won't tell Ms. Reed either."

Cole relaxed a bit. "That's good. You've promised me. You can never let her know."

"I remember, Mr. Lyon," Sheila answered in a low voice.
