Amber patted Jared’s thigh motioning that he didn’t have to pick out fish bones for her.
Jared then put down the chopsticks and stood up, “I’ll go wash my hand.”
“Go ahead.” Amber nodded.
After Jared left, Amber turned to the assistant standing across her, “Put it down. Thank you.”
“No sweat, President Reed. Can I go out now?” The assistant pointed at the door.
Amber nodded, “Sure, leave us alone.”
The assistant then turned around and left.
After the assistant left, Amber put down the chopsticks and opened the container to bring out all the dishes.
Jared walked out of the bathroom when she was just done serving the dishes.
Amber hurriedly waved her hand, “Come over and have a bite of this.”
Jared cracked a smile, “Wait a second.”
He then fastened his steps and approached Amber.
Amber then shoved a pair of chopsticks into his hand and said, “These might not be as better as what you would have normally. You can settle for this now. The key is to fill your stomach.”
“Got it.” Jared chuckled.
“Well then, let’s get started.” Amber smiled and continued having lunch.
She wasn’t full yet.
She hadn’t had these hot dishes without inhibitions for a while.
She probably wouldn’t have these spicy dishes for a long time to come, so she got to stuff her stomach more.
Jared was at first worried that she won’t handle all the hotness after having so much, but when he saw that she wouldn’t stop eating even though she was burned, he had no choice but to let her go on eating.
The only thing he can do was to check on her more later to see if her stomach was acting up.
This meal lasted for about an hour.
Amber asked her assistant to clean the table and went to rinse her mouth with Jared in the bathroom.
Jared held her hands, applied some hand sanitizers, and rinsed them together with his hands.
Amber turned around and felt weird when she saw Jared washing her hand seriously.
This posture somehow reminded her of a father washing hands for his daughter.
No, this must be her misconception!
Amber shook her head to get rid of all the ridiculous thoughts.
In fact, Jared didn’t expect that Amber would think this way.
He was washing her hands just because he wanted to do it.
Moreover, her hand is quite small and he can cover her hands with his one hand.
Her hands were also super soft and it felt amazing to hold hands with her.
Jared then played with her hands affectionately while rinsing her hands.
“What are you zoning out for when I came here?” After washing Amber’s hands, Jared took the washcloth and wondered.
Amber sighed, “It’s really nothing, but something happened.”
Jared immediately got serious, “What happened?”
Amber knew that Jared must think that this was about her when he got really flustered and cracked a smile, “It’s not about me. It’s about Cole and Sheila.”
