"Okay," Jared nodded and followed her out.
Forty minutes later, they arrived at Goldstone.
Amber got off the car and walked around the car to knock on Jared's window on the other side.
Jared rolled down the window.
Standing straight, Amber said, "I'm leaving. You'd better go back to the Farrell Group with Ben. Drive safe."
"Don't worry, Miss Reed. I will keep Mr. Farrell safe." Ben turned around to reply at the driver's seat.
Jared looked coldly at Ben. "Did I tell you to talk?"
Ben shouldn't answer Amber ahead of Jared.
He must feel uncomfortable.
Meeting Jared's warning look, Ben realized that he shouldn't say. He shrunk back and quickly turned around to stay invisible.
Alright, he was buttoning his lips.
Amber burst into laughter when she looked at the serious Ben and the grumpy Jared. "Alright, it'll be rush hour soon, hurry up and go. Or you'll get stuck in traffic."
Jared nodded slightly. "Alright, Ben, drive."
"Yes," Ben started the car.
Suddenly, something clicked in Amber's mind. She placed her hand on the window to stop him from rolling it up.
"Wait."
"What's wrong?" Jared's hand left the knob and asked.
Amber bit her lower lip hesitantly. "Don't turn off your phone… in the next two days."
She had promised to stay with Jared on the day of his mother's death.
Her grandmother told Amber that Jared would act strangely on that day.
There were just two days away. So, Amber should make sure Jared's phone was on so that she could contact him at any time.
"Why?" Jared was confused.
Amber's eyelids flickered. "No reasons. Just do as I said"
She didn't dare to mention his mother's death now.
Otherwise, she had no idea how he would act.
Jared stared at Amber for a while before nodding in return. "Alright."
Amber heaved a sigh of relief and smiled. "Promise?"
"My phone will be on 24/7." Jared took out his phone and shook it.
Amber nodded. "Good. Also, stay with your phone. Do you understand?"
Jared nodded. "Okay."
"Alright, that's it. Bye!" She waved at Jared and walked towards the building.
Jared stared at her back for a while until she entered the building. Then, he rolled up the window and instructed, "Drive."
"Yes," Ben responded and started the car.
On the way, after struggling inside for a while, Ben glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "Mr. Farrell, what does Miss Reed mean? Why did she ask you to keep your phone on for the next two days and stay with it?"
Jared half-closed his eyes in silence.
Why?
He had probably guessed it had to do with his mother's death.
Otherwise, why didn't she ask him to do this earlier or later? Only the next two days. He couldn't think of anything else other than this.
Someone must tell her about his mother's date of death.
He had guessed who would be the whistleblower.
