Encouraged by Amber’s hesitation, Oliver hurried on: “How about sending you to school? There are plenty of empty rooms since many senior students have moved out during internship.”
Good idea! School was a safer place where she could sleep on the bed of Emma King, her dearest friend, who went back home for internship.
Darting a look at Oliver, Amber nodded: “Don’t bother. I will go myself.”
Finally, Amber would meet his eyes! Oliver dragged her suitcase in strides: “That’s okay. I can drive you there on the way.”
Amber demanded three times for her suitcase back, all ignored.
In a morning street wakening up with more and more people, a squabble with Oliver would be least welcome. She could only surpass her anger and followed him.
However, they were caught by three people, one of them a tall man carrying a video camera. A woman in black dress placed a microphone towards Oliver’s mouth: “Do you think it is appropriate to park your car on the sidewalk?”
Until then, Amber noticed the BJTV logo on the microphone and the yellow sticker with the same mark of Morning Traffic News.
The spot coverage of illegal parking! God, not another buzz on TV! Amber fended her face from the lens in a hurry.
“It is none of your business! Who do you think you are—a policeman or traffic warden? I only accept the judgment of due authorities! Now stay out of my way!” Oliver yelled at the woman reporter.
Damn it! Such a good chance to win back his honey, all ruined by stupid reporters!
Without the prior consent for the interview, the woman seemed intimated by Oliver’s aggression. She turned to Amber: “As his date, what do you think of such violation?”
