Ben felt the gentle breeze and rubbed his nose as the door slammed.
Looked like Mr. Farrell didn't plan to invite him in.
It was fine with Ben. Anyway, he was tired of their PDA already.
Ben turned towards the elevator after a casual shrug.
Jared walked into the living room with two bags.
Amber came out of the room as he put the things down.
She had washed and dressed up. Looking at the things on the dining table, she asked curiously, "What is that?"
"Breakfast," Jared pointed to one of them and replied, "I ask Ben to bring us these."
Amber nodded in response.
Jared looked at her. "Can I use your room?"
"What?" Amber blinked in confusion.
Jared lifted the other bag. "Get changed."
Amber pouted as her eyes drifted to the bag. "Didn't you sneak into my room before? It's not like my permission really matters."
Jared heard the sarcasm in her voice. He cleared his throat, "How about I promise no more sneaking next time?"
He would just walk in fair and square!
"Is there still a next time?" Amber glared.
Jared smirked in return.
He knew it was time to stop, and otherwise, he would piss Amber off.
Then Amber said with a sigh. "Forget it. Hurry up."
She waved him off to change.
Jared nodded as he walked toward her room.
Soon, he came out with a new outfit. Amber had set the table.
Jared went to grab a seat and had breakfast with her.
Halfway through breakfast, Amber's phone rang.
Amber put down her chopsticks and picked up her phone.
Jared stared at her phone and asked, "Who is it?"
"Elias," Amber mumbled after she swallowed the thing in her mouth.
Jared put his guard down.
Elias wouldn't be a problem.
Anyway, he wasn't one of Amber's pursuers.
Jared continued on with his food.
Amber put her phone to her ear and answered the call. "Dr. Lansdale."
On the other end of the phone, Elias teased, "I thought this would be Jared."
Amber looked up at Jared. "He's having breakfast."
Elias raised his eyebrows. "Oh, he's still at your place."
"Yes..." Amber replied.
Elias took off the glasses on his nose bridge to wipe them with a cloth and said through the phone speaker, "Looks like Jared didn't lie last night. You guys are really going to get back together."
Amber pulled a tight-lipped smile. "Pretty much. He's done a lot for me, and I can see his sincerity, so... I'd like to give him a chance."
Jared put down his chopsticks and studied his face across the table. His voice was soft. "Amber, thank you."
Thank you for forgiving me.
Amber understood him. She took her phone a little further and said, "You should thank the hypnosis. Otherwise, not a chance."
