Two Reborn, One Throne novel Chapter 160

Sharif Madison was tasting dishes when he heard the news that Amber had missed an exam.

With the Exam approaching, the Madison Group was launching a new, budget-friendly hotel next Friday to accommodate the rush of graduation banquets.

He had just picked up a piece of sweet and sour fish when Julian Zeller reported, "Mr. Madison, Amber missed her afternoon exam today."

Sharif looked up, his dark eyes unfathomable. "Missed it?"

"Yes. According to the security detail, a relative of hers was beaten by her brother, and it involved her father. By the time Amber resolved it, the exam was already over. Even though she called her homeroom teacher, well..." Julian frowned. "Mr. Madison, we signed the sponsorship agreement early, but Amber promised to rank first in the fifth practice test. Now that she's missed a subject..." Julian felt the old executives at the company were definitely going to complain.

Sharif set down his silverware, leaning back his towering frame. "Are you actually worried about that?"

Julian let out a confused "Ah?" Sharif's lips curled into an incredibly roguish smirk. "Do you think I signed her early because she promised to rank first on a mock exam?"

*Of course you didn't. You only did it because...*

"Even if she ranks tenth on this practice test, or drops a few more places, it won't affect anything."

Julian understood that, but he also didn't. "But what about the actual Exam?"

*Mr. Madison, the fifth practice test might not be that important, but it still matters! Even if you don't care, what about the board? You have to make sure Amber's grades are at least passable.*

Sharif's dark eyes suddenly deepened. "Then from the moment she leaves her house, rain or shine, have a private car chauffeur her."

Julian thought, “Only you would be this domineering.”

Sharif picked up his fork again and resumed tasting the dishes. "Which relative of hers was beaten, and which hospital are they at?"

Julian asked, "Do you want to make a trip there?"

Sharif shot him a side-glance. "Do I look like I have too much free time? She broke her promise by missing the exam and hasn't even called to apologize or beg for forgiveness. Why should I make a trip to the hospital? Am I close with her relative?"

*No, but I can see the overflowing concern written all over your face.*

*Mr. Madison, making a trip wouldn't hurt. Aside from surprising her family, you'd also be ensuring she doesn't run into today's problems during the real Exam. So, you wouldn't just be wasting time—you'd be doing it for the company.*

At that moment, Sharif's phone rang.

Julian craned his neck and caught a glimpse of the caller ID: 'Little Fox'. He was completely baffled. *Who in Mr. Madison's contacts is Little Fox?* But then he saw the corners of Sharif's mouth lift into a distinct smile.

"At least she's sensible enough to call and beg for forgiveness after missing an exam."

*Little Fox = Amber?!*

*Mr. Madison, you sure know how to pick nicknames.*

But what Sharif didn't know was that Amber wasn't calling to apologize. Instead...

"Mr. Madison, could you help me investigate someone?"

Sharif: "..."

*She actually called to give him orders?!*

Even though he always knew the day would come when Amber would ask him for a favor, he never expected it to be on the day she missed an exam.
