Outside the door, Ben Channing was still holding Cole Lyon's arm in hand since he was afraid that Cole would got inside and make the situation worse. Cole had no choice but staring at the ceiling with a disappointed face.
Then the door suddenly opened.
Cole immediately fixed his eyes on one who opened the door. He thought it was Amber, but it turned out to be Jared. His face suddenly became dark and he began to struggle out of Ben's arms and shouted, "Farrell you bastard! Tell your boy to let me go!"
Jared had a cold glimpse at him before he said to Ben, "Let him go."
Ben nodded and freed Cole.
The moment he was freed, Cole walked over to Jared, "You've been in the room for a long while. What did you say to my honey?"
"None of your business," said Jared before he walked straight to the elevator.
Ben followed him instantly.
Cole stared at their back inimically until they got into the elevator and moved his arm which had been held by Ben for a long time. Then he pushed the door open and walked in.
"Honey, did the bastard do anything to you?" Cole quickly strode towards her desk and asked earnestly.
Amber was sitting on her chair with her eyes fixed on the floor blankly.
Cole bent over to wave his hand before her face and said, "Honey?"
"Ah?" Amber said absent-mindedly before she became sober and asked, "What did you say?"
"I said ‘Did the bastard do anything to you'. Why were you staring at the floor blankly?" Cole looked at her skeptically.
Amber lowered her eyelids to hide her emotion form him, "I was thinking. Don't bother. He didn't do anything to me."
"Then what did he say to you?" Cole asked with one hand stroking his jaw.
His intuition told him she was stunned due to Jared's words.
Amber rubbed her temple and said, "Something unimportant."
"But you look like …"
"Cole, just stop, okay? Just leave me alone." Amber looked upwards at him and said sincerely.
With what Jared had said to her in mind, she just needed some time to calm down.
Cole looked at her and shrugged, "All right. Then I'm leaving. Call me if you need."
"I know." Amber nodded.
Cole left worriedly.
With her hand supporting her forehead, Amber looked quite downcast.
After a while, he picked up her phone and clicked into a group chat in which she found a member called "SashayLiz". She gave the member a voice call.
Soon, the voice call was answered. It was a woman's voice which was energetic yet surprised, "I am quite surprised that you would call me! Amber!"
"I am also surprised that I would do so, Lizzie," Amber said with a cold smile on her face.
