Until Ben went out to prepare tea for the attendees, the people began to talk with each other again.
One of them said to Amber, "Ms. Reed, I saw you came in together with Mr. Channing. Did you meet by coincidence? Or he picked you up at the entrance?"
Amber had no idea why he asked that question so she answered the question honestly, "He picked me up at the entrance."
Hearing her answer, the attendees fell into silence. Then the way they looked at her became more concerned.
Rumors were that Mr. Farrell had been wooing his ex-wife and he was about to remarry her.
They had heard such rumors before but they couldn't believe them.
After all, how Mr. Farrell used to loathe his ex-wife and love Makenna Gardner was known to all in the business field.
So, how was that possible for him to get back his ex-wife?
Even if Mr. Farrell had helped his ex-wife obtain a position in the new energy project, they thought it was pure luck.
But now they thought those rumors might be true.
Ben was Mr. Farrell's special assistant so Mr. Farrell was the only one who could ask Ben to do anything. So, it must be Mr. Farrell who asked Ben to pick up Ms. Reed.
And the fact that he would ask his special assistant to pick up his ex-wife could prove how important his ex-wife was in his mind.
Or Mr. Farrell would send someone else to pick her up, just as what he did to them.
From now on, they shall not look down upon this little girl and her company, Goldstone, anymore.
Or they would be offending the Farrell Group.
They should even do some favor for Goldstone. Maybe then Mr. Farrell would be happy and they could get more chances to collaborate with the Farrell Group.
The attendees made eye contact with each other and understand they were thinking about the same thing.
Amber had no idea what they had in mind and she was no interest to know. She opened the notebook she brought and began to wait for the meeting to begin.
Then Ben got in with a few cups of tea.
Ben placed the tea of highest quality before the attendees and then put a cup of black tea and a piece of cake before Amber.
His behavior made the whole meeting room reigned by silence.
They looked at the green tea before them and then at the black tea before Amber. Then doubt welled up in their mind.
Why?
Well, well, well, maybe black tea was more suitable for girls.
But what about the cake?
Why were they not treated with a piece of cake?
What kind of special treatment was that!
Even Amber herself felt a bit embarrassed.
Ben's special care made she felt as if her face were burning.
"Mr. Channing, I don't need the cake." Amber pushed the plate away from her to hint Ben to take it back.
Ben didn't take the cake back. He pushed his glasses up his nose and had a few glimpses at the other attendees before he explained, "The cake was prepared for you exclusively by Mr. Farrell, Ms. Reed. Other attendees wouldn't mind that anyway. The rumors must have told you why Mr. Farrell would treat Ms. Reed differently."
"Of course." Hearing the warning of Ben, the other attendees had no choice but to nod and agree his words.
Amber frowned with concern, "Rumors? What rumors?"
Ben smiled faintly, "If Ms. Reed what to know more about rumors, you can do some investigation after the meeting finishes. I have to leave to see if Mr. Farrell is ready. He will be here if he has finished the affairs at hand. If he hasn't, please wait here for a while."
Then he left.
After he left, discussion rose in this meeting room.
One of the attendees asked Amber, "Are you planning to get remarried with Mr. Farrell, Ms. Reed?"
