Amber's voice was soft and a bit harsh, filled with drowsiness, and her eyes didn't even open. Though she wasn't fully awake, she asked Jared for the time, which showed that she knew they slept together last night. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so relaxed but sit up to question him why he was on her bed?
"It's 10 a.m." Jared checked the watch and answered.
Amber opened her eyes immediately and exclaimed, "What? It's 10'o clock already?" Her voice was sharp out of shock.
Amber sat up in a hurry and mumbled, "Gosh, it's too late. I have a meeting this morning." Scratching her messy hair, she was about to get down from the bed. But Jared held her waist from behind and pulled her back into his arms.
Amber was so anxious that she tried to break away from Jared. "What are you doing, Jared? Let go of me! I am in a hurry! I need to wash up now!"
"Don panic." Jared smiled. "Your secretary has called you and I think she was supposed to ask why you haven't come to the office yet. But when she knew you were here with me, she hung up the phone instead of urging you to go to the company. So, the meeting is not that important, I guess. Don't be so anxious, huh? Let's have breakfast first."
"But…" Amber knew the meeting wasn't that important but she didn't like to be late for work.
Seeing her frowning, Jared knew she was still reluctant to be late. He touched her eyebrows lightly and tried to soothe them. "I know what you are worrying about. But sometimes it is not a bad thing to be late for work. You are the chairman of the board, so you have this privilege, and being late can be an act of deterrence."
Jared's words eased Amber down and dispersed the anxiety in her heart. She nodded and said, "Well, if you say so, I will take my time." It would be better to take the advice from the CEO and chairman of the board of the Goldstone Co. Besides, she knew missing the meeting wouldn't do much harm to the company. Since she had been late, there was no need to be hurried.
"Well, though we don't need to be in a rush, it's time to get up. Don't you feel hungry?" Amber asked.
But Jared was putting her hand on his and playing with it. Compared to his, her hand was small and soft, really adorable, and he couldn't stop playing with it.
"Well, I am not that hungry," Jared answered and let go of her hand.
Seeing the disappointment in his eyes when he put down her hand, Amber felt amused. Was her hand that special? She looked at her hand and it certainly had five fingers, no more and no less. Why was Jared so obsessed with it?
Then, she stopped thinking, got down from the bed, and headed to the bathroom. Following her, Jared also went to the bathroom intending to wash up with her. They had been doing this last night, so Amber didn't stop him. Besides, this was Jared's house and she was his guest. How could the guest drive the host away?
After washing, Jared went to the cloakroom to dress while Amber went to the balcony to pick up her clothes. She had dried the clothes before she hung them out so she was not afraid that there would be no clothes for her to change.
Having changed the clothes, Jared went out of the cloakroom and saw Amber had already dressed up and was holding up a mirror to put on her make-up.
"What would you like to eat for breakfast?" Penciling her eyebrows, Amber glanced at Jared and asked.
Walking towards her, Jared began to look at her clothes. "Well, shall we eat out?"
Putting down the mirror, Amber said, "Ok, that's nice."
