Cole, who was eating apple, saw Amber's face. He quickly put down the apple and asked, "Baby, what's wrong?"
"Look at this." Amber showed him her phone.
Cole read out the text, "I'll make Makenna pay the price soon, Elias."
Cole looked at her with his eyes wide open. "Elias Lansdale? How did he get your number?"
"It's not difficult to get someone's phone number. He just needed to look it up." Amber said in an nonchalant tone, but her brows were tightly furrowed. "What I care more about is what he said in the text. He'll let Makenna pay the price. What he said in the ward… Does he really want to get back at the people who have hurt me?"
Cole curled his lips. "Whether it's true or not, let it be. It's good for us anyway."
"That's true." Amber nodded.
Cole returned the phone to her and said, "Well, don't reply to him. Don't forget, we're not sure if he really wants to deal with Makenna. If he doesn't, then he may deliberately text this to lure us into his trap. Who knows if he wants to mess with us or not. Just ignore it."
Amber agreed. "Alright, I know."
She deleted Elias's text message.
Cole continued to eat the apple. "By the way, I have donated the ring for you."
Amber blinked when she heard that, but in the end she just nodded, "Okay."
"Then I'll go first. I'll pick you up at the auction in a few days." Cole threw the apple core into the trash can while speaking.
Amber smiled. "I see. Bye."
"Bye-bye." Cole waved his hand and walked out.
Amber was the only one left in the office. She took out a pen from the pen holder and began to read the documents.
At that time, Stella knocked on the door and came in with an anxious expression. "Ms. Reed."
"What's wrong?" Amber stopped writing and looked at her.
Stella looked around and saw a cup of water on the table. She directly picked it up and drank it all down in one gulp.
"Ah..."Amber was about to tell her that the cup was used by her before, but seeing Stella swallowing like someone who just got out of the desert, she didn't say anything and just shook her head. "Why are you so thirsty?"
"Don't mention it. I ran up all the way." Stella put down the cup and said with a sigh of relief.
Amber was surprised. "You ran here? Don't tell me that you've run all the way via the staircase from the finance department."
"Yes, like that. The elevator just got down, and I have something urgent to ask you, so I don't want to wait." Stella pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down.
Amber looked at the sweat on her forehead and handed her a piece of tissue with a smile.
"Thank you." Stella took the tissue.
Amber got up, took a new cup to get some water from the water dispenser and put it in front of Stella. She asked, "By the way, you just said that you have something urgent to ask me. What is it?"
"It's the loan of Goldstone." Stella threw the tissue into the trash can and looked serious. "Ms. Reed, who on earth is Zackary? He actually paid off all the loan from several banks. When the bank called to inform me, I was completely stunned."
Amber was confused. "Wait, what are you talking about? Zackary, what loan has he paid off?"
Looking at her reaction, Stella blinked. "Ms. Reed, don't you know Zackary?"
Amber shook her head. "I've never known anyone with this name."
"That's strange. You don't even know him. Why did he help us pay the loan? And there's a note that said he's your acquaintance. So obviously, he paid the loan for you. How come you don't know him? Could it be he's your secret admirer?"
Speaking of that, Stella was envious. "If you are loved by someone who was that rich, you can totally accept him."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Amber frowned. "Stella, you mean Zackary helped us pay off all the loan from the banks? Is that what you mean?"
"Yes, from now on, we don't owe anyone anything. The money we make in the future will not be given to the bank, but to our own." Stella said happily.
