Chapter 552 Ticket to Abroad
Chapter 552 Ticket to Abroad
Amber felt warm because of Mrs. Lyon's understanding and consideration. "Thank you, auntie."
"Why apologized? You did nothing wrong, Amber." Mrs. Lyon took a sip of coffee and added, "The fault
is on me and Cole's father."
"What?" Amber was taken aback, confused.
Mrs. Lyon rubbed between her eyebrows. "Cole's father and I had treated him too strictly when he was
young, so he had seldom made his own decisions. Now, Cole lacks courage in many things, either in
his private life or at work."
She took a sip of the coffee and heaved a sigh. "I wonder if we had treated him less strictly and let him
make his own decisions, probably, Cole would have become braver. He might have confessed his love
to you after realizing his feelings."
Amber pouted a bit in silence.
Mrs. Lyon looked at her. "Amber, tell me honestly. If Cole confessed to you several years ago, would
you be with him?"
Amber was shocked by this question. After a long while, she parted her lips and answered, "I don't
know. If he had confessed to me before I met Jared Farrell, I would probably say yes."
After all, she hadn't taken Cole as her best friend yet at that time. Probably, she would fall in love with
him.
Upon hearing her answer, Mrs. Lyon shook her head in regret and was disappointed in Cole. "Sure
enough, Cole is too useless. He has missed the chance."
Like what Amber said, if he could have confessed to her, Mrs. Lyon believed they would probably be
together.
However, Cole lacked courage.
"I see." Mrs. Lyon smiled bitterly. "You and Cole can't be together for sure, right?"
Amber nodded and hummed. "I'm sorry, Auntie. I've never thought of being with Cole."
"Okay. I got it." Mrs. Lyon stirred the coffee. "I asked you out today because I wanted to know if you
guys could possibly be together. I would beg you to give Cole a chance shamelessly if there was still a
possibility. If not, I would go home and convince him to let go. Otherwise, there'll also be pressure on
you."
"Thank you, Auntie..." Amber felt touched, tears welling up in her eyes.
Mrs. Lyon patted the back of her hand dearly. "Don't mention it, Amber. I'm doing it not for you only but
also for Cole. You don't like him. If I force you to be with him, he won't be happy. Hence, I'd rather
convince him to let go."
"You are right." Amber nodded.
They chitchatted for almost an hour in the cafe.
Later, Mrs. Lyon received a call from her friend, inviting her to do a spa in a beauty salon. She bid
Amber farewell and left the cafe.
Amber walked her out to the roadside. She watched Mrs. Lyon sit in the car and return to the cafe to
pay the bill.
Then, Amber planned to return to the company.
Right after she left the cafe, she received Jared's call.
"Hello, Mr. Farrell?" Amber answered while walking to her car.
Upon hearing the way how she addressed him, Jared frowned.
Instantly, she distanced herself from him.
He decided to let her change it later.
"The bodyguards told me Mrs. Lyon had a meeting with you," Jared said, standing in front of the French
window of his office, peering out the prosperous city outside.
Amber frowned. "Mr. Farrell, are those two bodyguards spying me under your instruction?"
Jared could tell she was unhappy from her tone. Only then did he realize that his words made her
misunderstand. He explained. "I didn't ask them to spy on you. They won't report anything to me no
matter what you do except if the matter is related to your safety."
"My safety?" Amber opened the door next to the driver's seat and sat in. She closed the door and said
unhappily, "I came out to meet Auntie. Why is it related to my safety?"
"Don't forget you've almost broken up with Cole Lyon. I was worried she would make trouble to you for
her son." Jared turned around and walked to his desk.
Now Amber understood what he meant by her safety.
She didn't know whether to laugh or not. She chuckled, "Don't worry, Mr. Farrell. Mrs. Lyon isn't that
kind of woman. She's sensible. It was indeed my fault t this time, but she didn't blame me; instead, she
comforted me."
"Did she?" Jared squinted, still worried.
Amber turned the car key to start the engine. Then she put the phone between her ear and shoulder,
pulled the safety belt, and fastened it. "Of course. She asked me not to blame myself."
"So she didn't ask you out to scold you, did she?"
"Of course not."
"That's good, then." Jared nodded, relieved.
Amber put the phone on the phone rack and put it in hand-free mode. Then she started the engine and
asked, "Did you call me just because of this?"
"Ehn," Jared answered, "I was worried about you."
Amber glanced at her phone with a faint smile. "Save your kindness. All right. I'm driving. Talk to you
later."
"Okay. Be careful," Jared reminded her.
Amber answered with a smile, "I know. Bye." All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
She hung up the phone and sped up the car.
Half an hour later, she arrived at Goldstone Co.
Amber entered her office, followed by Sheila.
Arriving at her desk, Amber sat down. "Sheila, please book me a ticket flying to Country K three days
later."
"Okay, Ms. Reed," Sheila answered with a nod. Then she recalled something and asked, "Shall I book
the hotel for you as well?"
"No, thanks. My friend will provide me with the accommodation," Amber said, turning on her laptop.
Sheila pushed up her glasses. "I see, Ms. Reed. I'll book the ticket now."
Then she pulled out the phone and tabbed on it.
Half a minute later, she sent the ticket code to Amber and said, "Ms. Reed, the ticket has been booked.
It's the first-class seat, two o'clock three days later."
Amber nodded in satisfaction and answered, "Thanks. Nothing else. You can go back..."
Before she finished her words, the office door was knocked.
Amber tilted her head and said, "Come in, please."
The door was pushed open by Cole. He looked panicked, as if something critical had happened.
Sheila saw him. Her expression changed dramatically. Then she hurriedly lowered her head, afraid that
Cole would notice her. She tried to be as invisible as possible.
In fact, Cole didn't see her at all.
He entirely concentrated on Amber, ignoring others.
He strode to Amber and pressed his hands on her desk, panting slightly.
Amber looked at him in surprise. "Why are you here, Cole?"
In the recent few days since they had "broken up", Cole didn't show up on her face at all. She called
him and texted him but received no response from him.
Hence, Amber was worried he would be heavily blown and do something stupid.
Especially when Mrs. Lyon told her that Cole had been drunk, Amber felt more concerned.
Hence, she was delighted to see him here.
"Did my mom come to see you?" Cole asked, still gasping for breath.
