Chapter 42
Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel
Chapter 42 You Find a Random Guy to Sleep with Last Night?
When Amber woke up in the morning, she was still a little hungover from the aftermath. She had a slight headache.
She rubbed her temples and sat up from the bed. The quilts slipped off her. Soon, she felt cold. When she looked down, she realized she was wearing a slip dress!
âWhatâs going on here?â
As Amber was about to lift the quilts and get out of bed, she glanced over her shoulder and saw a man on her pillow, bareâchested and asleep. His hair was streaked across his forehead. His features were so handsome and gorgeous that she stared in awe and was speechless for a long time.
She seemed to have drunk too much last night and felt dizzy and sleepy, but she thought she heard Jaredâs voice faintly....
Did she get so provocative last night that she found a random man to have sex with?
The thought of her sleeping with a strange guy made Amber unable to take a second look at the man on her pillow. She got her clothes out of the chair and got dressed. When she tried to get her purse to leave some money, she searched around but couldnât find her handbag.
When she reached for a sticky note to leave her number, she found a number written on it.
She didnât know if the man had left the number in case she woke up early and ran away.
Amber tore up the sticky note and escaped from the room.
Half an hour later, Amber went home, showered, and took a taxi to the office. She hadnât quite. recovered and was still in a state of shock from having sex with someone else.
âMiss Reed is here!â
Amber had just gotten out of the cab and was barely on her feet when a crowd of reporters. rushed towards her from all directions and surrounded her. The flashing lights were pointed at her face.
âMiss Reed, who is the man in that audio file?â
âThat voice seems different from the voice of the male model named Jeremy before, doesnât it? Please explain!â
âMiss Reed, did you come to Goldstone Co. for work or because your position as vice president facilitates you and allows you to hook up with men?â
One by one, the reporters bombarded Amber with sharp questions.
Although she didnât know what audio file the reporters were talking about, Amber quickly held her face and didnât let them catch a different look. At the same time, she pushed them and tried to get out of the crowd.
âExcuse me. Please make way!â
âMiss Reed, youâre afraid to answer the question. Youâre not feeling guilty, arenât you?â A reporter asked her. âI heard that your divorce from Mr. Farrell was also due to your indiscreet about your private life?â
At that moment, Cole squeezed in through the crowd of reporters like a knight in armor to hold Amber and scolded the reporter, âYou said it was a rumor, so could it be true? I also heard that you are gay. Are you?â
The reporterâs face turned blue at Coleâs rebuke.
Cole rolled his eyes at him. He pushed away the microphones that were crowding towards Amber and said, âThe male voice on the audio file is mine.
If you donât believe me, you can compare that voice to mine.â
âAmber is my girlfriend. Weâre dating. Sheâs the one whoâs keeping a low profile and doesnât want to go public with our relationship. As for you guys saying sheâs dating Jeremy, thatâs all bullshit! Weâre all friends with Jeremy, so whatâs wrong with us having dinner together as friends?â
âAlso, my girlfriend and Mr. Farrell are divorced. As for the affair...â Cole grunted, âHow about you guys ask Mr. Farrell? He was in the hospital every day taking care of another woman before he was even married. So what did he mean exactly?â
âAll right. Thatâs it. Iâve said what I need to say. Please be dismissed!â Cole pushed the reporters away and squeezed out of the crowd.
âMy girlfriend is very vulnerable. Donât scare her. And you wonât get any news from her. I heard Mr. Farrell is getting remarried. Why donât you guys follow up on the news about Mr. Farrell? Itâll be easier for you to get a bonus by gossiping about him.â
Amber was speechless.
Cole pushed his way through the crowd, and he did so with his feet. Then, he quickly grabbed Amber and stepped into the Goldstone Co.
Amber turned her head and looked at the reporters outside and then gave Cole a thumbs up, âYouâre really awesome. You didnât eat at my home in vain when you were a kid.â
After her divorce from Jeremy, if Cole hadnât helped her so much, she figured sheâd be over.
âWeâve been together for over twenty years, but you just realized Iâm so awesome?â Cole grunted. After he held her into the elevator and pressed the floor button, he looked at Amber with. a critical gaze, âYou went out last night and didnât come back. Where have you been? And you didnât bring your handbag?â
Cole questioned, âDid you go and find a random guy to have sex with you?â
When she heard him say that, Amber remembered the shocking scene she had seen when she woke up that morning. She suddenly felt guilty...
âI wasnât feeling well last night. I saw you guys having fun so I didnât interrupt you guys. Then, I went back early.â Amber said without her face turning red. Soon, she changed the subject, âWhatâs the story about the audio file the reporter mentioned?â
Cole frowned. He fished out his phone and cursed, âSomeone put a bug in the booth last night.â
He opened the audio file and played it back to Amber.
The audio file was about Cole teasing Amber in the booth last night. Later, Amber explains this to Stella. But the audio file was intentionally edited, and some flirtatious sounds of men and women were added. The audio made peopleâs imagination go uncontrollably wild.
âSomeone edited the ordinary conversation into this. That person is also quite deliberate.â Amber sneered. âCan you check out the surveillance camera to find out who did it?â
âNo. Itâs too difficult.â Cole shook his head and sighed, âSeveral waiters went in and out of the room yesterday, so I donât know who did it. If I question them one by one, I donât think Iâd be able to find out anything.â
Amber was also clear. Her face turned a little gloomy.
However, for the mastermind behind the public opinion, she had a clear suspect in her heart. And that person would be Makenna.
She had just divorced Jared. And she had few friends in the modeling industry, so almost no one had a grudge against her.
However, Makenna had always had a problem with her. And last night, Cole insulted Makenna a lot in the booth. Therefore, Makenna had a motive to strike at her.
She just had no proof that Makenna had found someone to do it.
As Amber froze, Cole hadnât missed every subtle expression on her face. He was keenly aware that she looked a little off. âDid you really not go and sleep with some random guy last night?â
âI told you I didnât.â Amber rolled her eyes and tried to keep her composure. âNo random guy is as handsome as you!â
Cole paused for a few seconds, then looked Amber up and down and rubbed his chin, and said, âIâd like to appease you by having sex with you, but babe, youâre too skinny. I like hot girls with big tits and bigger asses.â
Amber felt speechless.

âBaby, youâre heartless.â Cole followed and grabbed her by the shoulders.
âIf it wasnât for me, you could have been slandered hard by those reportersâ questions. Now, youâre done using me, so you donât want me? You are my girlfriend. Even if my company goes bankrupt, itâs still you whoâs more important!â
The secretary Sheila Dawson just finished delivering the documents and heard Coleâs words after she walked out of Amberâs office.
When she saw Cole hugging Amber intimately, she had an obvious look of surprise on her face. She asked, âMiss Reed, are you two... really together?â
