Sheila agreed with Ms. Reed. She would never know if she didn't try.
What if she succeeded eventually?
Upon hearing Sheila's words, Amber turned to look at her. She saw Sheila's eyes lit up in hope. Amber smiled. "That's good for you. All right. Wash your face and go back to work."
"Yes, Ms. Reed," Sheila answered, nodding hard.
Amber turned around and entered her office.
Three days later, Amber dragged her suitcase and arrived at the airport alone.
There was still an hour before her flight took off.
Waiting in the VIP lounge, Amber was waiting for the boarding notice while reading on her phone.
Right then, the door of her lounge was knocked.
Amber put down her phone and looked over at the door. "Who is it?" she asked.
"It's me." Jared's deep, pleasant voice sounded at the door.
Amber was taken aback, a trace of surprise flashing through her eyes.
She recognized it was Jared, wondering why he was there.
Amber stood up and went to open the door. Sure enough, Jared was standing there.
He was in a suit with a black coat, dragging a suitcase. Seemingly, he was on a trip.
Amber looked at his suitcase and asked in confusion, "Where are you heading to?"
"Country K," Jared entered the lounge and answered in a low voice.
Amber was taken aback. "Are you also going to Country K?"
"Yep."
"What are you doing there?" Amber squinted at him and asked in doubt.
She wondered if he was going to attend a friend's engagement ceremony as well.
Otherwise, it was way too coincident that he would go to Country K today, just like her.
Jared could tell Amber had guessed where he was going. His eyes twinkled. With a smile, he answered, "I'm on a business trip there."
He deliberately didn't tell her that he was attending a engagement ceremony.
He would like to see her expression when she saw him at the engagement ceremony.
Upon hearing his answer, Amber nodded. "I see. How did you know I was in this lounge?"
All the VIP lounges were individual boxes for each passenger.
Hence, she knew Jared must come to her purposely.
Otherwise, he would have entered another empty lounge.
"The bodyguards told me you were here, so I came to find you," Jared answered, putting down the suitcase, sitting down.
He purposely booked the whole first-class cabin to take the same flight with her.
Otherwise, he would've taken his private jet.
Amber curled her lips. "Didn't you deny that you asked them to watch me? How could they tell you about my lounge?"
Although she was unhappy, she wasn't angry.
Jared poured himself a glass of water. "I took the initiative to ask them. I can't help it because I care too much about you. I'll feel uneasy if I don't know your whereabouts for a second."
Amber blushed, rolling her eyes at him.
When she was about to retort, they were informed that they could board the plane.
Amber stood up. "It's time to board the plane now."
Jared calmly put down the glass. "Yeah. Let's go."
He also stood up and dragged his suitcase.
Amber seemed to recall something. She looked over at his ankle and asked, "Have you recovered?"
Jared moved his ankle a bit and answered, "Still recovering, but I'm fine when walking."
"That's good, then." Amber nodded, feeling relieved.
If he still couldn't walk, she would borrow a wheelchair from the airport.
There would be facilities ready for the disabled at such a big airport.
Hence, she could borrow a wheelchair easily.
