Sheila had sex with Cole in order to get ahead.
And Cole, regardless of whether he was actually drunk or not, made a big mistake by dragging a woman to bed.
She even wondered if, instead of Sheila, some other woman had been there that day, would Cole have dragged her to the hotel?
The answer, perhaps, was yes.
So, both of them were at fault.
Jared scratched the bridge of Amber’s nose as she grimaced, “What’s on your mind?”
Amber shook her head, “I’m just wondering if Sheila was doing the right thing now, trying to get rid of the baby, and asking me to hide it from Cole.”
Jared gently touched her hair, “Whether it is right or not, it is a private matter between them. Even if you’re friends with Cole Lyon, you don’t have the right to get involved. Let them deal with their problems. Sometimes too much interference from outsiders can cause unnecessary problems, and the loss is not worth the gain.”
“I know, but Cole’s my friend, and I…”
“So what? It’s their private business.” Jared cut her off, “Besides, Cole Lyon is a grown man. You don’t have to care so much about what happens to him. He’s not your son.”
At this, Amber burst into laughter and gave him a pat, “What are you talking about? My son?”
“I’m just making a metaphor.” Jared smiled, “Cole Lyon and your secretary, they’ll take care of themselves. They’re still fine, but you’re more concerned than Mrs. Lyon. Do you think he’s your son?”
“Nonsense!” Amber glared at him.
Jared laughed, “Well, don’t worry about them. They’re not that worried themselves. So, what are you worried about? If you have that much energy for them, you might as well use it all for me.”
“Don’t I care enough about you?” Amber looked at him.
Jared nodded, “Yes, but I’m a greedy man, and that’s not enough for me. I’d be happier if you’d take the same care you take for other people and give it all to me.”
“Shut up!” Amber didn’t know what to say.
Jared rubbed her hair and said, “Well, it’s getting late. I should probably get going. See you tonight.”
“Okay, see you tonight.” Amber nodded and walked him to the elevator.
Jared suddenly gave her a hug, “Don’t forget to miss me.”
“I won’t!” Amber patted him on the back.
Jared let go of her, turned around and got into the elevator.
Amber stood outside the elevator waving to him until the doors were closed and the elevator descended. Then she turned and headed to her office.
Yeah, he was right. This was a private matter between Cole and Sheila, and they should sort it out.
She was Cole’s friend, not his mother, so there was no need to upset herself.
Besides, she had explicitly rejected Cole, and now she was upset about Cole. What was that?
She had got to get over it!
Even if they were friends, she shouldn’t have to worry about him on that matter, because that kind of took the concept out of being friends.
She decided to listen to Jared. She would pretend she didn’t know that and let them work it out.
If something did happen, it was not too late to see if she could help.
Amber’s heart was relieved at the thought.
In the afternoon, when the time was up, Amber put down her papers, left Goldstone Co. and headed to the mall to try on her dress.
The dress shop staff were already waiting at the door. As Amber approached her, she smiled politely, “Good afternoon, Miss Reed.”
“Good afternoon.” Amber smiled back.
The manager made a gesture of invitation, “Please come in, Miss Reed.”
“Thank you.” Amber said and followed her into the store.
