The phrase that Amber read online before suddenly flew past her mind and she thought that this was pretty fit for her situation with Jared now.
Amber certainly knew that Jared wasn’t seducing her on purpose but he was burned.
He seldom ate spicy food and he cannot even handle slightly hot food, let alone the extra spiciness in Hunan Cuisine.
This dish must have blown his head off or he won’t show this delicate side of him.
After all, he always remained dashing in a powerful way and not this delicate beauty as if he was just bullied.
Seeing Jared’s painful look, Amber soon came round from drowning in his beauty and hurriedly poured him a glass of water. She then stood up, walked to the fridge, and added two ice cubes inside the glass.
“Here. Have some cold water. It will dilute the spiciness in your mouth.” After fetching the ice cubes, Amber hurriedly handed Jared the glass.
Jared put down his hand, glanced at Amber with his still reddened and watery eyes, and then gulped down the ice water.
Amber’s red lips opened slightly when she saw Jared’s Adams’ apple that moved up and down with him drinking the water. She really wanted to touch it and saw how it felt.
However, she knew that this wasn’t time to do this as it might be taken as a cue of seduction.
What if Jared got erotic and just wanted to have fun with her in the office.
She definitely cannot touch it!
Amber shook her head in an effort to shake away all the suggestive images in her mind
She then looked away from Jared’s Adams’ apple and landed her sight on his face.
Amber then took the glass after Jared drank it up and then got some tissues to wipe the sweat on his forehead, “Are you okay now?”
Jared shook his head and his voice was still coarse, “Yeah, I’m much better.”
His breath was much calmer now.
Amber then tossed away the tissues, “Well, don’t force yourself to eat that spicy food if you couldn’t handle it. Look at you…”
Amber can’t help laughing when she saw Jared’s burned red lips, crimson cheek, reddened eyes, and wet broken hair.
Hearing Amber’s laughter, Jared raised his eyebrows, “What are you laughing at?”
Amber compressed her lips, “Well, of course, I’m laughing at your look now. You got pale with just one bite. Isn’t it funny?”
Jared pursed his lips and didn’t say anything.
He didn’t expect him to be so weak to hot food and was really caught off guard.
Amber was also burned, but she wasn’t as flustered as he was.
As a man, he can’t even hold a candle to a woman.
Seeing that Jared was in self-doubt, Amber cracked a smile and shook her head, “Okay, don’t think too much about it. Tastes differ. Some people can have spicy food, and some people can’t. It’s normal. You just happen to be the kind who can’t handle hot dishes. There is nothing wrong with that. Go splash some water on your face and comb your hair. You just sweated and your hair is messed up.”
Amber organized Jared’s collar and soothed him.
Jared nodded, “Yeah. I’m on it. Have these dishes without me.”
He then stood up and walked toward the bathroom.
Amber let out a wry smile when she saw all the spicy dishes on the table, “Well, why didn’t he order some dishes that aren’t hot for himself?”
Jared was always thinking about her and wanted the best for her. He was really spoiling her.
Amber then glanced at the bathroom and then dialed a number.
“President Reed, what can I do for you?” A respectful female voice came in.
Amber sipped some water and answered, “Get some dishes from the Top Restaurant.”
