Amber listened to the commotion below; she felt a headache and rubbed her temple, as the man stared at the captain in front of him with a dark face.
The captain, on the other hand, was embarrassed by Jared's hostility.
The young officers behind him were all laughing their heads off.
"Ahem!" The captain scratched his head, looked at Jared, and sheepishly said, "Mr. Farrell, will you please let go?"
His hand hurts to be held by the young President.
If he didn't know the other guy was just jealous, he'd suspect he wanted to assault a police officer.
"All Right, Jared, let go of the captain. What are you doing?" Amber gently tugged at the man's sleeve, gesturing for him to let go.
The man was reminded by her, thin lips pressed, just in time to let go of the captain's hand.
Captain looked at his red hand, and smile wryly.
Young people these days, they're so easy to get jealous.
He came here to work but was treated as someone who wanted to steal his wife.
The captain shook his head helplessly and put his hand down.
Amber threw Jared a glare. Knowing he was a neat freak, she took a handkerchief out of her pocket and handed it to him
Jared looked at the handkerchief, his thin lips curled, and his voice softened as he swept away his indifference and hostility toward the captain. "You know me the best."
He took the handkerchief and wiped the hand he used to shake the captain.
Amber was both angry and amused. "I shook the captain's hand, and I made the first move. Are you jealous just because of that?"
"That's no good. He's a guy." Jared wiped his hands and put the handkerchief back in his pocket instead of throwing it away.
Amber gave him a dirty look, "All nonsense, I don't want to talk to you."
With that, she turned her head and smiled sheepishly at the captain. "I'm sorry you had to see that."
"No big deal." The captain waved his hand and replied mindlessly, but in his head, he was quite speechless.
It was, after all, a first for him.
He wouldn't have let it go if it wasn't for his status.
He had a temper, too.
"Well, Ms. Reed, it's getting late, so we'll take her away first," the captain said to Amber, after tidying up his cap.
"All right, thank you. She is over there. Take her away. Anything further to investigate, we'll cooperate," said Amber, nodding and pointing to Braylee, who was grabbed by two security guards in front of the middle of the conference table.
"We will." The captain saluted her and waved the young officers behind him to hand her over.
Seeing the officers coming for her, Braylee shook her head in a sudden panic, as if who she saw was not human, but a devil trying to kill.
"No, don't come here, get off me, go away, go away!" Braylee shook her head as she waved the officers away.
But how the officers could have been turned away by her, and she was quickly taken from security.
The moment the officers touched Braylee, she panicked, blanched and her tears were falling.
"Amber, Amber, please save me, please save me." She suddenly looked at Amber with an imploring face, tears, and snot all over her face, and shout: "Amber, you let them go. Let them not take me, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. I'll never do it again, I wouldn't dare do it again, please, please..."
She cried her heart out, and with a face of remorse, so that some of the more soft-hearted people, at this moment, felt pity for her.
Even, one by one in the live stream, people have begun to beg for her.
Amber couldn't see it, so she was not affected by it.
But even if she could see them, it wouldn't change anything.
People didn't know Braylee as she did.
Braylee had no conscience.
