The man outside the office heard the footsteps getting closer and closer. He immediately turned around and quickly walked toward the escape staircases.
Two minutes later. The man came out. Looking at Amber's office, he took out his mobile phone, and dialed a number.
In the Farrell Group, Ben was standing beside Jared's desk, sorting out the documents. Hearing the phone ring, he stopped what he was doing and said, "Mr. Farrell, can I answer a phone call?"
Jared was typing on the keyboard. When he heard his words, he nodded without looking up.
With permission, Ben took out his phone. When he saw the caller's name, his eyes lit up. "Mr. Farrell, it's Lee."
"Who?" Farrell frowned and didn't realize who it was.
Ben reminded him, "It was the assistant we bought off in Goldstone last time. He often delivers documents to Miss Reed's office, so we bought him off and asked him to keep an eye on Miss Reed's baby. Now he called. I think there must be some news."
Hearing this, Jared immediately raised his head, his tone full of undisguised eagerness. "Answer it."
"Yes, Mr. Farrell." Ben answered the phone.
"Mr. Channing." On the other end of the phone, Lee greeted him politely.
Ben waved his hand and said, "All right, tell me, is there any news of Miss Reed's pregnancy?"
"You're right. I heard outside the door Ms. Reed and Mr. Lyon talking about the pregnancy when I was delivering the document."
Ben pushed his glasses up. "Mr. Farrell, it seems that Mr. Lyon has already known that Miss Reed is pregnant."
Jared pursed his lips. "Ask him if he heard whether the child is Cole's."
Ben nodded and conveyed his words.
Lee, who was on the other end of the phone, quickly replied, "It's not Mr. Lyon's. Ms. Reed said that she accidentally had sex with a man on the night of Mr. Lyon's birthday and was pregnant with the child."
Ben immediately told this to Jared.
After hearing this, Jared's pupils contracted. He was overwhelmed.
It was his!
The baby was his!
Jared clenched his fists.
Perhaps because the news was too shocking, he clenched his fists so hard that his fists trembled slightly.
Seeing this, Ben realized something. He swallowed and suppressed the shock in his heart. He said to the other end of the phone, "Got it. There's no need to keep watching any longer..."
"No, ask him to keep watching." Jared interrupted Ben and said in a hoarse voice, "We not only need him to keep watching her, but also he should watch closely. It's better for him to make it clear when and where Amber is to do the prenatal testing. His bonus will be doubled."
Ben nodded. "Yes, Mr. Farrell."
Then he told Lee what Jared had said.
Lee patted his chest and promised that he would not make them disappointed.
After the call, Ben looked at Jared and said, "Mr. Farrell, Miss Reed's baby is yours."
Jared lowered his eyelids. "Yes."
"What are you going to do? To keep it or..."
"The child's life is not on me, but on Amber. If she wants to keep it, I will secretly arrange everything for her to give birth to the child safely. If she doesn't, I will respect her decision." Jared said.
But when he said "she doesn't", his heart inexplicably hurt.
He was even a little flustered.
"No wonder you asked Lee to find out when and where Miss Reed is to do the prenatal testing. I see." Ben finally understood Jared's intention.
Jared pursed his thin lips and said nothing.
Ben looked at Makenna's photo next to the computer. He had something to say but stopped on second thought.
Jared narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say that if Miss Reed chooses to keep the child, when Miss Gardner and her family know about it in the future, will they..." Ben was a little worried.
With their narrow minds, Miss Gardner and her family would never tolerate the Miss Reed's child.
Jared was obviously aware of this. He rubbed his eyebrows tiredly and said, "For the time being, don't let Makenna and her family know. As for the rest, wait for Amber's decision. If you find out the time and hospital for her prenatal testing, inform the hospital in advance. Tell the doctor to ask Amber whether she wants to keep the child or not."
"Yes, Mr. Farrell." Ben nodded.
Jared waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."
Ben turned around and left.
