The person in charge promised to help Amber to build her factory and arrange machines for her to thank her for waiving the rent of the land.
It was already dark outside after getting everything done.
Amber was starving.
Cole hugged Amberâs shoulder and said, âBaby, letâs go and have some steaks.â
âSure,â Amber nodded.
âLetâs go!â Cole held Amber tightly and strode towards the car.
They arrived at one of the most famous restaurants in Olkmore after half an hour.
Amber heard a familiar voice the moment she stepped into the restaurant, âMs. Reed, Mr.
Lyon. Weâve met again.â
Amberâs face fell in an instant.
Cole rolled his eyes, âWhat a coincidence.â
It was Jared and Makenna.
Makenna gave him a tender smile, âMr. Lyon, did you not want to see us?â
âWell, isnât it obvious?â Cole shrugged his shoulder.
Makenna didnât seem angry. Instead, she continued smiling.
1/5 Jared remained silent. He was staring at Amberâs bandage. An indescribable emotion flashed across his eyes.
Amber felt it. She looked at Jared curiously and smiled too, âMr. Farrell, why are you staring at me? Arenât you afraid that your fiancé would become jealous?â
Makennaâs smile finally stiffened.
She knew Amber was trying to sow discord between Jared and her, but she had to admit that Amber was telling the truth. Jared was staring at Amber.
Jealousy filled Makennaâs eyes. She felt suffocated, but she insisted on smiling.
âOh, donât worry about that, Ms. Reed. Youâre standing in front of us. Of course, Jared had to look at you once or twice. Plus, Jared had to talk to so many ladies at work. Iâll be so tired if I were to be jealous about it. Am I right, Jared?â
Makenna held Jaredâs arm.
Jared frowned when he felt Makenna was gripping him, but he didnât shake her hands off.
âYouâre so generous, Ms. Gardner,â Amber pretended that she didnât see Makennaâs bitter smile.
Cole yawned, âThatâs it, baby. Thereâs no need to waste your breath on them. Didnât you say youâre hungry? Letâs go to our private roomâ
âSure,â Amber nodded.
Cole hugged Amberâs waist and followed the waiter.
Jared became sulky when he saw Cole and Amber were so close. He felt the urge to separate Cole and Amber.
Jared restrained himself at last. He looked down and told Makenna, âLetâs go.â
âSure,â Makenna smiled.
On their way to their private room, Cole couldnât help commenting, âBaby, Makenna was definitely jealous about you, but she kept pretending that she wasnât and kept putting on fake smiles. Isnât that tiring?â
âWould you feel tired of sleeping or eating?â Amber answered Coleâs question with another question.
Cole shook his head.
Amber smiled, âThere you go. Pretending is a necessity for some people, just like how normal sleeping and eating are for us. How would they feel tired of the necessity?â
âYouâre right,â Cole pouted. Then, he had an idea. Cole smiled wickedly, âBaby, If we tear off . Makennaâs disguise, do you think she would...â
âStop it,â Amber elbowed Cole, âShe didnât mess with us for now. So we should keep our distance too.â
But of course, if Makenna messed with Amber, she would definitely take revenge.
Amber and Cole arrived at their private room as they spoke.
Both of them order the signature steak of the restaurant. Amber stood up when they were. halfway eating, âI need to use the bathroom.â
âYou want me to go with you?â Cole raised his brows and teased Amber.
Amber smiled, âWhat do you think?â
Cole recognized the danger in that smile of Amber. He shivered and put his hands up, âI guess Iâll pass this time. Come back soon.â
Amber nodded and took her purse out.
After using the bathroom, Amber started to fix her makeup in front of the mirror.
Suddenly, one of the cubicles opened. It was Makenna.
Makenna was stunned when she saw Amber. Then, she put on a smile and walked toward Amber. Makenna stood beside her and started to fix her makeup as well.
âWhat a coincidence, Ms. Reed,â Makenna said while she was putting on face powder.
Amber was looking at the lipstick. She replied calmly, âYouâre right. What a coincidence for us to meet in the bathroom.â
Makenna closed her powder case and looked at Amberâs bandage, âHow are your injuries?â
Amber fixed her lipstick. She didnât glance at Makenna at all, âWell, itâs still a long way to go.
You should know that better.â
âMs. Reed, are you still blaming me for what happened?â Makenna suddenly started crying.
Amber felt it was funny. She hadnât even touched Makenna, and she had already started. crying. She acted like Amber had bullied her or something.
What a strange taste Jared had for women.
Of course, Amber, who used to like Jared, didnât exactly have the best taste, but luckily she had fixed her mistakes now.
Amber put her lipstick back into the purse, âWhy should I? Iâve taken so much compensation. Iâll go over the top if Iâm stili blaming you. May I know why Ms. Gardner has this thought? Do I look like a petty person to you?â
âNo...â Makenna waved her hands, âI just felt like youâre so cold to us, so I gather youâre still blaming me.â
Amber turned to look at Makenna, âYou know, Iâm a pretty straightforward person. Iâm enthusiastic about the people I like, and Iâm apathetic to those I dislike. So, what I donât understand is that you know I donât like you, but why are you still coming near me to get snubbed?â
Makenna could hear someone chuckle softly in the cubicle after Amber said that. Her face was flushing red as she couldnât believe she had just been mocked.

Then, Amber zipped her purse and walked out of the washroom.
Makenna bit her lip and stared in the direction Amber left with a malicious look. She sneered.
Yes, Makenna might be losing now.
But, it could be different in the future.
After that, Makenna grabbed her purse and walked out of the washroom as well.
When Makenna was on her way back to her private room, a waiter walked past her. The waiter suddenly took out a handkerchief when he was beside Makenna and covered her mouth and nose.
Makennaâs shriek was muffled and her eyes widened. However, she passed out before she could do anything.
Amber and Cole were about to go home after dinner.
Someone knocked on their private room door when they stood up from their seat.
Cole opened the door, and he saw Jared standing there.
Jared seemed tense, and a little anxious.
Amber wondered if something had happened.
âWhat are you doing here?â Cole stopped Jared in an impolite tone.
Jared ignored Cole and asked Amber, âIs Makenna here?â
