Winner Takes All novel Chapter 85

In the evening,

Jack got a call from Amber and they agreed to meet at the Genting restaurant.

After hanging up the phone,

Jack made several phone calls in succession, and then left for the Genting restaurant for the appointment.

But Amber’s choice of meeting place made Jack feel a knot in the pit of his stomach.

It was in the Genting restaurant that they defined the relationship.

Amber chose to meet there, and Jack had already guessed Amber’s intention.

By the time Jack arrived downstairs at the Genting restaurant, it was already seven o’clock in the evening.

In the parking lot, Amber’s Porsche 911 was quietly parked there, apparently Amber having arrived long ago.

Jack took a deep breath.

Jack walked into the elevator.

When the elevator door opened, he heard the melodious music.

The dim light made the restaurant more beautiful.

"Mr. Hughes?"

The waiter at the door came forward.

Jack nodded.

"Come with me, Miss Knight has reserved our whole restaurant tonight."

As he followed the waiter to enter the Genting restaurant, Jack saw Amber by the window.

Under the light, Amber in a floral dress was holding her chin with her hand, watching the city’s night view outside the window.

But her back showed that she was a little lonely.

"Miss Knight, Mr. Hughes is here."

The waiter whispered to remind her.

Jack clearly saw that Amber’s body suddenly trembled.

Amber turned around and smiled, "You are here! Sit down!"

There was a knot of tension in Jack’s stomach. Although Amber was smiling at him, he could clearly feel that the smile was very different from before.

After Jack sit down, Amber took the menu from the waiter, put it on the table and pushed it to Jack.

"What do you want to eat? It’s my treat."

"Amber…" Jack opened his mouth.

Amber raised her eyebrows, "I’ll order myself."

After that, she looked down at the menu, not giving Jack a chance to speak.

Jack was upset. Because of Shirley, he left a bad impression on Amber.

Soon, Amber ordered the dishes, returned the menu to the waiter, and continued to hold her chin with her hand, watching the night view outside the window.

In the Genting restaurant,

The music echoed.

There was a strange stillness.

Neither Jack nor Amber spoke.

The stillness lasted for nearly ten minutes until the waiter served the food.

"Have a taste! And I also ordered your favorite, tomato and egg noodles," Amber said with a smile.

Jack looked at Amber with mixed feelings.

But he still pretended to be relaxed and said, "Is there tomato and egg noodles in such a high-level restaurant?"

Amber cracked a smile, "With money, you can do whatever you like..."

"Right!" Jack nodded.

Then they lowered their heads and ate again, the atmosphere quiet again.

Amber didn’t ask any questions, just ate quietly.

It was like a normal meal, but she and Jack didn’t communicate with each other.

This atmosphere made Jack feel upset.

He knew that Amber was suppressing herself.

Amber used to like him, but she could happily be Katherine’s bridesmaid, and bless him and Katherine.

Now she was suppressing her emotion. But, she was in love with him before, and this time she was angry.

Taking a deep breath, Jack said, "Amber, I can explain it."
