The man was surely happy to be coaxed. His thin lips smiled, and his chin raised unconsciously.
Amber Reed shook her head with a grin when she saw his smug look.
Later, with the help of the man, she put on slippers, left the room, and went to the bathroom.
At first, she didn’t want the man to help her, after all, she wasn’t injured or disabled.
But he wanted to help her, she had no choice but to go with him.
By the time Amber finished washing up and came out of the bathroom, Jared had brought her breakfast out of the kitchen and placed it on the dining table.
She walked over, and Jared pulled out the chair for her, and patted the back of the chair, “Sit down, babe.”
Amber hummed, walked over, and sat down.
Then, there appeared an extra pair of chopsticks in front of her.
Amber looked at the chopsticks handed over by the man, raised her beautiful eyebrows, and then reached out and took the chopsticks, “Thank you.”
After she replied “Of course.”, Jared sat down beside her, “Come on, babe. Start eating. It’s all for you.”
Amber looked at the very delicate breakfast in front of her, with a happy smile on her face.
Then a random thought came to her mind, she paused the chopsticks in her hand and asked, “Have you eaten?”
“I have.” Jared put his elbows on the dining table and his head on his palms nodded slightly and replied, “I got up early and had a video conference in your study. I grabbed something to eat afterward.”
Amber nodded, “Okay. If you haven’t had enough, join me and eat together.”
“Are you going back to the Farrell Group today, babe?” Amber asked again after taking a bite of the crystal dumpling.
Jared shook his head slightly, “I’ve been busy in the past few days, and now it’s finally the weekend, I want to enjoy the day off. But this is also the last day off before the new year.”
After today, Jared would become busy again.
Things would get a little easier until this New Year was over, probably after the Lantern Festival.
Amber looked at the man with a hint of sympathy in her eyes, “There’s nothing you can do about it. With great power comes greater responsibility, hang in there babe.”
She patted his shoulder gently.
Jared glanced sideways at her hand on his shoulder and chuckled, “Okay, let’s finish eating, then go to the police station and see Alice.”
Today Alice needed to hire a lawyer. Of course, they should send a lawyer over to handle the case.
Hearing that she was going to see Alice soon, Amber hummed with a serious expression, and at the same time started eating the food in her hand faster.
But it was Alice after all, Amber had to go meet her.
She didn’t see her yesterday, so she had to meet her today no matter what.
Suddenly, a cell phone rang, breaking the atmosphere.
Jared frowned, then took out his phone, obviously it was his phone that was ringing.
Amber glanced at it and saw the caller ID on the screen. She took a sip of milk and said, “It’s your assistant, Ben Channing. Pick up, babe.”
Jared agreed softly, swiped his thumb on the screen, and answered the phone, “Any news?”
“Mr. Farrell.” Ben’s voice came from the phone. “Last night you asked me to investigate Alice’s identity. I found some clues here.”
“Fill me in.” Jared’s back straightened immediately.
He answered the phone without avoiding Amber, and even went straight to turn on the speaker.
So Amber heard what Ben said.
Hearing that Ben had found info about Alice’s identity, she stopped caring about the breakfast in front of her, put down the chopsticks in her hand, and stared at the phone in Jared’s hand.
Ben nodded and shook his head, “I only found some clues, but I haven’t found out what Alice’s identity is.”
Hearing such an answer, Jared frowned, obviously not satisfied with the result.
