The sight of a man sitting in the car was spotted through a car window that was halfway-rolled down — he was none other than Liam Croft.
With a pair of striking deep-set eyes, a short and sleek hairstyle, a well-shaved beard, and a defined jawline, he brought out both his charm and a look of indifference.
"Hey! Why are you gaping at the handsome guy?" Catching sight of Amber's peculiar reaction, Emma chortled at her and flicked her arm.
Obviously, Liam noticed the both of them as well because his eyes and Amber’s met for a split-second. Amber was hesitating whether to greet him when the Bentley's window had slowly rolled up.
"Come on! The light’s turning red soon!" Everyone else had already crossed to the other side of the road, leaving Emma and Amber the only pedestrians still lingering on the road. Panicking, Emma dragged Amber by the arm and ran forward.
Fortunately, they made it to the other side of the road safely just before the red light came on.
Emma patted her chest and huffed, taking credit for her action earlier on. "Amber, what were you doing? Your feet were planted on the ground when you saw that handsome guy. Luckily, I'm smart and quick to respond. Otherwise, both of us would’ve been scolded by the driver just now!"
Feeling suffocated and overwhelmed by emotions, Amber found it taxing to explain herself. After hearing Emma’s words, it took her a long time to recover before she whispered in a low voice, "Did you see the man in the Bentley earlier on?"
"Of course, I did! Very clearly too if I might add and he was one good-looking man! So manly! If I could ever find a boyfriend as handsome as him in the future, I’m afraid it’d only be a dream that I would never want to wake up from!" Emma was on the verge of drooling as she imagined her fantasy.
Amber furrowed her brows. "That man was Liam Croft."
After a momentary pause, Emma screeched in shock, "Amber! Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I knew it was him, I would’ve asked him for an autograph!"
"Cut it off. Liam is a highly reputable CEO. Why would he acknowledge a nobody like you?" Amber replied sullenly and continued on her way ahead.
"Wait! Wait a minute! It's not surprising that Liam didn’t acknowledge me, but I’m pretty sure he saw you just now! Why didn’t he greet you?" Emma asked, puzzled by Liam’s reaction.
"He thinks of himself as nobility, that's why!" said Amber. At last, she was still discontented about the unexpected occurrence.
Suddenly, Amber was taken back in time to when Liam threw the Hermès coat away. Realization dawned on her at once. “How ridiculous it is for me to even think about greeting Liam earlier on: he couldn’t care less about me!”
