At the same time, there was a sudden clap of thunder outside. The huge lightning seemed to have split the sky in half. The dark night sky was lit up for a moment. In Kelsington Bay, Amber was woken up by the thunder. She suddenly sat up from the bed, and her heart was filled with panic. She didn't even know the reason. Amber raised her hand, turned on the light, rubbed her temples, and took a sip of water from the bedside to calm herself down.

But the moment she finished drinking the water and put the glass back, she was shocked.

A hideous skull suddenly appeared on the French window opposite the bed.

"Am I seeing things?"

Amber quickly closed her eyes.

Two seconds later, she opened her eyes and looked at the French window again.

It was pitch-black there, and only the neon lights reflected from the outside could be seen. There was no skull there at all.

Amber heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest.

She was really overreacting.

In such a modern society, how could there be ghosts?

What a false alarm.

Amber shook her head and laughed at herself.

The next day, Amber arrived at the company.

Sheila, who was waiting at the door of her office, nodded slightly at her. "Good morning, Ms. Reed."

"Morning. What's the matter?" Amber took out the door card, swiped the lock, pushed the door and entered.

Stella followed behind her. "I just received a notice from the Farrell Group that you need to go to a meeting about the new energy project."

"Meeting at the Farrell Group?" Amber hesitated as she pulled the chair.

Stella nodded. "Yes."

Amber frowned slightly. "I see. When?"

In fact, she didn't really want to go to the Farrell Group.

However, Jared was the main person in charge of the project. Others had no place to oppose where the meeting was held, unless she gave up the project. But she struggled to obtain this project finally. How could she give up?

So even if she didn't want to go, she had.

"Two o'clock in the afternoon." Stella answered.

Amber took off her coat and sat down. "I see. Is there anything else?"

"Yes, Mr. Lynch sent you a ticket this morning." Stella opened the folder in her arms and took out a ticket for Amber.

Amber took it and looked at the words on it. She couldn't help but smile. "He really save one for me."

"Mr. Lynch wanted to wait for you to come over and then give it to you in person, but he answered a phone call and left in a hurry." Stella said.

Amber put the ticket into the drawer and said, "There should be some work to do. Well, you can go now."

"Okay." Stella nodded and went out.

Amber turned on the computer and began to work.

At noon, Amber received a call from the police station, telling her about the investigation result of the incident at the restaurant last night.

The police officer said it was an accident. They had seen the surveillance video and found that no one had done anything to the chandelier.

He explained why the chandelier fell. Because it was old.

Although Amber felt that this explanation was not completely convincing, this was the only reason that made sense.

All in all, this matter was over.

After hanging up the phone, Amber looked at her arm wrapped in bandages, sighed, and continued to eat.

After lunch, she drove alone to the Farrell Group.

In the president's office of the Farrell Group.

Jared looked at the time on the computer screen and asked, "Is everyone here?"

Ben, who was standing aside, knew what Jared was asking. He nodded and said, "When I came here just now, there were already three companies here. Everyone should be here by now." Jared nodded and said, "Let's go."

He picked up the crutch leaning against the desk, got up, and walked towards the door.

Ben followed him with documents in his arms.

When they arrived at the conference room, the people inside saw Jared and Ben coming in. They immediately stopped talking and got up to greet Jared. "Mr. Farrell." Amber also greeted them.

Jared glanced at the crowd and fixed his gaze on Amber's face for two seconds. "Sit down."

Amber sat down with the others.

Ben began to distribute the meeting documents. When he saw the bandage on Amber's arm when she received the file, he was surprised and soon he was calm down. When he returned behind Jared, he lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Farrell, Miss Reed seemed injured."

"I know." Jared's eyes flickered as he replied indifferently.

Ben raised his eyebrows.

Well, it seemed that his message was unnecessary.

He thought that Mr. Farrell didn't know.

The meeting officially began. The content of this meeting was about the specific use of the new energy, the advantages and disadvantages, and so on.

Although Amber had read a lot of books about new energy and had gone to college to take some lessons, she was still a layman.

After all, she had never learned this systematically, so when she listened to Jared's speech, she felt confused and didn't quite understand.

She could only write down all the content with a pen and planned to figure it out after going back. However, Jared spoke so fast that her recording speed could barely keep up. Soon, her hands were sore. Amber frowned and couldn't help shaking and messaging her wrist.

Jared caught a glimpse of it. His face stiffened and he slowed down his pace of speaking.

This time, Amber finally caught up. She couldn't help but look at him. Although she wondered why Jared's speed had slowed down, she never thought that he slowed down because of her.

About two hours later, Jared picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip. "That's all for today's meeting. Is there anything else you don't understand?"

Although he asked everyone, his eyes fell on Amber.

Amber looked at the notebook in her hand and bit her lip.

She wanted to say that there were many things she didn't understand, but the others didn't mean to say anything. If she stood out alone and said that she didn't understand, they would laugh at her.

It didn't matter if they laughed at her, but they would also laugh at Goldstone behind her back. This was unacceptable and she didn't want to see it. After going back, she should study it carefully and try to figure it out as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Amber lowered her head and said nothing.

Jared saw this and pursed his thin lips. He was obviously dissatisfied with Amber's silence.

For the sake of her dignity, she smattered.

The men around her must have done a lot to help her survive in the business world until now.

Thinking of Cole, Jeremy, and the others, Jared's handsome face couldn't help turning gloomy.

Jared put down his mug on the conference table heavily and said in a deep voice, "Since you're all free of doubts, then write an analysis report on the use of new energy and email it to me tomorrow. The meeting is over!"

"Write an analysis report?"

Amber suddenly raised her head and looked a little anxious.

She didn't even understand these contents. How could she write them?

And less than a day was not enough!

Amber couldn't help but stand up when she saw that no one else was under any pressure. "Mr. Farrell..."

Jared turned to look at her, and his face looked much better. "Speak."

Amber clenched her fists. "Can I ask for a copy of the recording of this meeting?"

The conference room was monitored and the meeting process was recorded.

Just now, there were still some parts that she didn't manage to note down, so she asked for a recording which she could watch later.

She decided to stay up tonight. She should be able to conjure up an analysis report in one night, right?☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
