Brother? Amber frowned as she looked at the incoming call, "I'm Amber, but you've got it wrong, I don't have a brother," she stated.
"His name is Logan Farrell, and he claimed to be your brother."
Amber was startled by this name since it reminded her of everything he had done previously. "Sorry, I don't know anyone by that name," she said and hung up.
"Brother? Was that Jeremy?" Cole asked.
"No, wrong number." As they proceeded to the elevator, Amber and Cole were discussing the lunch menu and the situation of Goldstone. Her phone rang once more.
Amber kept her cool and responded once more. This time, it wasn't the cops, but Logan.
"Hello Amber, could you kindly come and pick me up from the police station?"
Logan had never addressed her correctly or by her name during her six-year marriage to Jared; this was the first time he addressed her by name and in a respectful manner while sounding unwilling.
"Jared and I are divorced," Amber reminded both him and herself, "You should contact your brother to come to get you."
"Can't you just come on over, dammit!" Logan bellowed.
"Call your brother," Amber said, frowning.
Logan did not respond and hung up before Amber did.
"Was it Jared's younger brother?" Cole was able to pick up on a few important information from their talk. "Jared will have dinner with Makenna and her parents at Grand Hyatt while rescheduling their engagement party. Logan wasn't there, but in the police station instead?" He continued.
"I guess he broke the law and wants me to bail him out," Amber shrugged.
"He still bosses you about like he did before you divorced, he inherited his mother's characteristics," Cole said with a snort.
"How long will someone be detained for a small offense?" Amber asked abruptly as she opened the car door.
"It depends on the type of crime. For a regular fight without bail, it takes around fifteen days. Do you plan to bail him out?" Cole said as he gazed blankly at Amber.
"He must have done something bad because he did not dare to contact Jared. I'll go have a look," Amber said as she got into her car.
"You ditch me for your ex-brother-in-law?" Cole said, bending slightly and knocking on the glass, staring at her pitifully.
Amber drove out of the parking lot without responding.
Amber hated being such a softie thinking about Cole's remarks on her drive to the police station; she was determined to let go, but couldn't stop herself from helping when Jared's brother was in trouble.
Amber was escorted to Logan by a female police officer at the police station, where she saw a queue of young men standing against the wall, looking dirty and wounded.
"Logan Farrell," the cop called, "Someone is here to bail you out."
Logan looked up immediately, and his eyes gleamed for a split second when he saw Amber who had a ponytail. "I know you're coming, bitch," he grumbled.
"What did you call me?" Amber gave him a serene gaze. Logan was taken aback by her calm and pleasant demeanor hidden under the dark cloak.
They exchanged stares for a few moments until Logan shouted, "Amber!"
Amber's face lit up with a smile as she queried, instead of signing the bail, "Why did you fight?"
