Amber patted the man on the back, “All right, get up.
I need to answer it.” At her urging, Jared pursed his lips and reluctantly got up.
Amber sat up on the couch and, despite her tousled hair, pulled the phone out of her coat pocket.
As soon as she saw it, she said quickly, “It's Mrs. Lyon, probably asking when we'll be there.” With that, she answered the phone, held it to her ear, “Hello, Mrs. Lyon.” Jared sat next to her and gently smoothed her messy hair.
On the other end of the phone, Mrs. Lyon was sitting on the sofa in the living room, with the phone in her hand and a gentle smile on her face, “Amber, it's already 7:30.
What time are you coming over?” Hearing this, Amber looked down at her watch and replied, “I’m sorry, Mrs. Lyon, we're taking too long.
We'll be on our way and be there around 8:00.” It was not too far from the Lyon Family's villa.
It was only a 40-minute drive away.
Mrs. Lyon nodded at Amber's reply, “Well, then I will ask the cook to get started.
I'll be waiting for you.” “Okay.” Amber replied.
After hanging up, she put the phone down and pulled Jared up, “All right, Mrs. Lyon is asking.
Let's go now.’ As she spoke, she grabbed several gift boxes and bags lying on the sofa opposite.
Jared stepped forward and volunteered to take most of the gift bags out of her hand, “I'll do it.
You just take these two.” He left two gift bags in her hands.
It contained the bag, which was the lightest.
He took the heaviest and left the lightest for her.
Amber understood what he was trying to do and, feeling warm, she retrieved two boxes from him, “I know you don't want me to get tired, but your arm isn’t fully recovered yet, and I don't have the heart to let you carry all this stuff by yourself.
So, let's do this together.
If your arm is fully recovered, I will let you do this.
Come on, let's go.” She smiled and went first to the office door.
Jared looked at her figure, then at his left arm, and his heart melted.
Amber opened the door of her office and left.
When she got out, she didn’t see Jared come out.
Instead, he just stood there in a trance.
She rolled her eyes and shouted at him, “Jared, what are you doing? Let's go.” Jared's eyes flickered a little when he heard her.
He came back to his senses, smiled and said, “Coming.” He trotted after her on his long legs.
They took an elevator to the first floor of Goldstone Co.
Amber's car was parked in a parking space just outside the hall, not in the underground garage.
Amber and Jared made their way to the front door in front of each other.
On the way, they were greeted by employees who were leaving their shifts.
Among them, some employees greeted them and looked at them with a different meaning.
And Amber was familiar with that.
It was the same as the two secretaries they met outside the office.
Although she covered her face at that time, she could not see the expressions of the two assistant secretaries, but she could feel their eyes.
Their eyes were full of curiosity and excitement.
These people were looking at them like this.
