Clang!

The office door was closed, and the room was quiet all of a sudden.

Looking at the two hands that were grabbed by Jared, Amber said coldly, "Mr. Farrell, Cole has been taken out, can you let go of me now?" Jared let go of her.

With her hands free, Amber immediately took two steps back to distance herself from him, "Mr. Farrell, what exactly do you want to say to me?"

The last time I talked to you in Kelsington Bay, I was not fooling you. It's all true, the person I love is not Makenna, but you!"

Amber was silent for a few seconds, and then she laughed mockingly, "Mr. Farrell, what is there in me that is worthy your attention. Not only do you still want to lie to me, but you even drag your grandmother in this?"

Seeing that she was still unwilling to believe his sincerity, Jared sighed, "Do you still remember Zack?"

Hearing this name, Amber gaped, "How do you know Zack?"

She's the real Maple Leaf!

Jared's gaze became gentler. "Zackary is my other name. My mother gave me this name many years ago and she used to call me Zack!"

"What... you..." Hearing this, Amber was goggle-eyed and pointing at him. He was the pen friend who had been exchanging letters with her for years!

Having guessed what Amber wanted to say, Jared pressed her hand down gently, "I'm the Zack you know, Maple Leaf!"

He called out her pen name, and Amber could no longer deny that he was indeed her pen pal.

It was just a bit hard for her to accept it now.

"How could it be you?" Amber bit her lip, only feeling ridiculous, "Why you?"

That tender boy who would comfort her with letters when she was bullied by her stepmother or when she was unhappy, was Jared Farrell!

"Why can't it be me?" Jared frowned slightly and asked, "Or are you sorry that Zack is me?"

He could tell that she looked disappointed when she confirmed that he was Zack.

She actually did not want him to be Zack!

Jared's heart tingled slightly.

He came here full of excitement, wanting to tell her that they were pen pals.

He had thought that she would be happy to know that he was Zack, because they had been so close.

But to his surprise, she reacted like this!

Maybe she wasn't unhappy to see Zack; she just didn't want Zack to be him.

If another person was Zack, she would not react like this.

Jared's hands could not help clenching into fists.

Amber took a deep breath and turned to meet his eyes, "Sorry Mr. Farrell, I do feel sorry that you are Zack, because you are not a single bit like the Zack I know."

To be precise, there's no resemblance between the present Jared and Zack, who was nevertheless similar to the Jared of six years ago.

When she met Zack, she was only twelve years old and just started middle school. Once, her stepsister broke the vase, but she accused Amber of breaking it, and her stepmother gave her a slap while her father was not at home. She was so sad that she posted this story on Twitter.

However, not long after, a message alerted her that someone had commented her post on Twitter, and that person was Zack, and from that moment, she and Zack became friends. And for some reason, they insisted on communicating through letters since then.

Zack was not only approachable, but also very knowledgeable, as if there's nothing he didn't know. He would answer all kinds of questions for her, and patiently comfort her when she encountered frustration. He even put forward a lot of methods for her to deal with her evil stepmother. It could be said that Zack had done her a big favor that she managed to survive under her stepmother.

When she was in high school, she fell in love with Jared at first sight. The more she learned about Jared, the more she found that Jared and Zack were very similar in personality, both gentle and kind. She couldn't help but think that Jared and Zack were so similar, if she was with Jared, would Jared treat her the way Zack did?

She told Zack about this. Of course, she didn't say Jared's name. She just said it was a senior student who had graduated a long time ago, and she wanted Zack to give her a definite answer. If Zack's answer was like what she thought, she would muster up the courage to confess her love to Jared, who had taken over the Farrell Group at that time, in her sophomore year.

That year, after she asked Zack about this, Zack's reply didn't arrive as punctual as usual, which was on every Sunday. It came half a month later. In the letter, Zack also did not answer the question, but proposed to meet, saying there was something very important he needed to say to her personally. He left a phone number at the end of the letter.

She noted down the number and dialed it. Zack answered the call, but he seemed to be sick. His voice was weak. After he told her the address and time of the meeting, she heard a doctor on his side saying it was time to go into the operating room, and then he hung up.

A month later, it was finally the time for the appointment. she went to the location, ready to meet with him. She had waited from noon to night but no one showed up. Phone calls didn't get through as well. Disappointed, she went back to the dormitory. However, the next morning, she received a text message from Zack telling her that she didn't need to write to him anymore.

This was the whole story of her and Zack. Life could be one hell of a joke sometimes. Zack and the man she had a crush on at the time, were actually the same person, Jared!

"You're right, it's true that Zack and I have no similarities now." Jared lowered his head.

Because of the effect of hypnosis was fading, he gradually remembered what his previous self was like.

But he knew very well that even if he was dehypnotized, he could not change back to his old self after all these years of fighting in the business world.

"Okay, what's the use of talking about this, even if you are Zack, so what? What does it have to do with you saying you love me?" Amber took a deep breath, suppressing the emotions that were swirling inside, and said in a cold and bland voice.

"For sure there is!" Jared hurriedly replied, "Many years ago, I fell in love with Maple Leaf, and even I couldn't believe it that I actually fell in love with a girl I had never met through letters. That's you, Amber!" "Wait!" Amber quickly made a stop gesture, "You said that you fell in love with me who was still Maple Leaf a long time ago?"

"Yes!" Jared nodded his head.

Amber laughed, with a hint of sarcasm in her laughter, "Do you think I will believe it? Six years ago, you and Makenna were together, which means..."

"No!" Knowing what she was going to say, Jared immediately interrupted her. "I have never loved Makenna. The person I love has always been you. The reason why I agreed to be with her six years ago was because I thought she was you."

"What?" Amber was taken aback, "You mistook her for me?"

Jared nodded, "Six years ago, you said in a letter that you wanted to confess your love to someone. I couldn't accept it, so I wrote back and asked for a meeting, just to tell you personally that I had always loved you and wanted to be with you. But I didn't know that it was Makenna who had come to the meeting!"000☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
