Love Letters, Divorce Papers (Jared and Amber)
Chapter 491 Cole's Invitation

"Shall I investigate them?" Cole suggested.

Amber nodded in agreement. "Sure. We must replace out what they are planning. I need to know."

After all, Braylee and her mother were hidden in the dark, and she was in the open.

If Cole hadn't suddenly seen Braylee, Amber wouldn't know she had returned to Olkmore City.

Probably, when Braylee and her mother took action on her, Amber couldn't react in time.

Since Amber had known they were back, she would replace out where they were staying. In that case, she could be on guard if Braylee and her mother wanted to do something to her. "Who shall I go to? A detective or..."

"Let's hire a detective," Amber answered after thinking, "Braylee appeared nearby Goldstone. I guess she came to test something. If we sent our own men to investigate, Braylee would probably recognize them. Hence, a detective would be safer."

"I agree. I'll contact a detective then. I'll pass by a detective agency with a good reputation on the way back home. I'll talk to them," Cole said, pouring a glass of water for himself. Amber hummed. "Thanks, Cole. By the way, why are you here?"

"Sheila called me." Cole pulled the chair and sat down. "She told me you were not in a good mood today, and she was worried, so she asked me to come over to check on you."

Amber didn't know whether to laugh or cry upon hearing his words. "I'm just a bit down. She's misunderstood. Nothing has happened to me."

"She cares about you," Cole said.

Amber nodded. "I know. I'm touched."

Although Amber explained, Cole was still worried. He looked at her and asked, "Babe, are you really OK?"

Amber nodded to confirm. "Yeah. I'm fine."

"Why are you down?" Cole asked.

Amber rubbed her temples. "Nothing, Cole. I felt I had been fooled by someone, so I was a bit down."

"Who had done it?" Cole approached her curiously.

Jared's handsome but cold face appeared in Amber's mind. She was in a trance.

Cole thought she was absentminded. He reached out and waved in front of her. "What are you thinking about dear?"

Amber returned to her senses. She looked down to cover the expression in her eyes and forced a smile to answer, "Nothing."

She felt weird. Why did she suddenly think about Jared?

She slightly shook her head to get rid of him from her mind. Then she picked up a glass from the desk, took a sip, and returned to calm.

However, Cole witnessed all her weird expressions and behaviors.

He squinted. A shrewd light flashed through his eyes. Then he faked nothing had happened and smiled. "By the way, Babe. Can you do me a favor?" "What?" Amber put down her glass and looked at him in confusion.

Cole approached her with a cheeky smile. "Be my date."

"Puff-" Amber choked and spurted out the water onto his face.

Cole frowned deeply. He could feel his face was wet all over. Water dripped from his chin.

Amber felt sorry for him. She stuck her tongue out in embarrassment, pulled several tissues, and wiped the water off his face.

Then she said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Cole. I didn't mean to do it."

"Babe..." Cole looked at her in hidden complaints.

Amber smiled awkwardly. "I do apologize, Cole. I really didn't mean to do it."

Cole wiped his face and then stroked his hair.

His hair had been combed backward with hair wax. He looked like a cool boy from anime.

However, after Amer wiped the water from his face and hair, his hair became messy.

Cole didn't think he was anything close to cool and smashing now.

He smiled helplessly when seeing Amber's blushed face with an awkward smile.

She was too adorable, so he could do nothing but forgive her.

"It's alright, Amber. Not a big deal," Cole said casually, waving his hand.

Amber stood up and got a clean towel from a cabinet. "By the way, did you ask me to be your date?"

"Right." Cole took the towel over. While drying his hair, he added, "Several celebrities will come into town tomorrow. One is my father's friend, so he gave my father an invitation card. My father couldn't go, so he asked me to attend the party on his behalf and enrich my network. I've agreed. Those tycoons are famous for being fond of fun, so they required all the attendees to bring dates. You know you are the only female friend of mine..."

"I can't go with you, Cole," Amber refused before he finished his words.

"Great. Let's... Huh?" Cole gaped at her in surprise. "What did you say, baby? Did you refuse me?"

He had thought she said yes just now. When he was about to cheer, he realized that she had turned him down.

The joy in his heart turned into ice.

Amber nodded and said solemnly, "Right. I can't go."

"Why not?" Cole tugged her arm.

Amber pulled her arm back. "Jared invited me to be his date earlier, and I agreed. Although he changed his mind and canceled his invitation, I would feel embarrassed if I went there with you. Understand?" "What? Did you agree to be his date?" Cole raised his voice and asked.

Amber nodded. "Yes, I did."

"When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me before?" Cole grabbed her shoulders and shook her.

Amber felt dizzy. She wrenched herself free. "Why did I need to tell you? Anyway, I can't go to the party with you. You can replace another woman."

"Please don't, Babe. I can't replace anyone." Cole was unwilling to replace another woman, insisting on Amber to be his date.

However, Amber was extremely determined this time. "Cole, I wouldn't refuse if it was another party, but I can't go to the one tomorrow. Let alone the embarrassment when I meet Jared, I've already promised him not to appear in his face. Hence, I would go back on my word if I did it. What will he think about me?"

"Well..." Cole parted his lips but couldn't utter any sound.

Amber patted him on the shoulder. "Cole, replace another woman."

Cold heaved a sigh. "All right. Since you said so, what else can I do?"

Amber's lips twitched, and she kept silent.

Right then, Cole's phone rang.

He pulled out his phone and saw it was a call from his assistant. He swiped to answer immediately, "Yes?"

"Mr. Lyon, Director Lyon has come to the company. He asked you to go back," said his assistant.

Cole frowned. "Did my father go to the company? Why is he there?"

"I don't know. Director Lyon didn't tell me. Please come back ASAP," said his assistant.

Cole rubbed his temples. "All right. I'll be right back."

He put away his phone and looked over at Amber. "Babe, I need to go back to my company. I guess my father wants to tell me something. Bye."

"Okay. Be careful when driving," Amber answered. She stood up and walked him out. After watching him enter the elevator, she returned to her office.☐☐☐☐☐☐
