Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel novel Chapter 66

Chapter 66 Drugged

Amber didn’t expect everything to go so smoothly. After an hour, Amber had gotten a signed

contract.

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 Amber’s shoulder and said, “Baby, let’s go and have some steaks.”

“Sure,” Amber nodded.

“Let’s go!” 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, “Ms. Reed, Mr.

Lyon. We’ve met again.”

Amber’s face fell in an instant.

Cole rolled his eyes, “What a coincidence.”

It was Jared and Makenna.

Makenna gave him a tender smile, “Mr. Lyon, did you not want to see us?”

“Well, isn’t it obvious?” Cole shrugged his shoulder.

Makenna didn’t seem angry. Instead, she continued smiling.

Jared remained silent. He was staring at Amber’s bandage. An indescribable emotion flashed

across his eyes.

Amber felt it. She looked at Jared curiously and smiled too, “Mr. Farrell, why are you staring at me? Aren’t you afraid that your fiancé would become jealous?”

Makenna’s 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 Makenna’s eyes. She felt suffocated, but she insisted on smiling.

“Oh, don’t worry about that, Ms. Reed. You’re 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. I’ll be so tired if I were to be jealous about it. Am I right, Jared?”

Makenna held Jared’s arm.

Jared frowned when he felt Makenna was gripping him, but he didn’t shake her hands off.

“You’re so generous, Ms. Gardner,” Amber pretended that she didn’t see Makenna’s bitter

smile.

Cole yawned, “That’s it, baby. There’s no need to waste your breath on them. Didn’t you say

you’re hungry? Let’s go to our private room”

“Sure,” Amber nodded.

Cole hugged Amber’s 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, “Let’s go.”

“Sure,” Makenna smiled.

On their way to their private room, Cole couldn’t help commenting, “Baby, Makenna was definitely jealous about you, but she kept pretending that she wasn’t and kept putting on fake smiles. Isn’t that tiring?”

“Would you feel tired of sleeping or eating?” Amber answered Cole’s question with another

question.

Cole shook his head.

Amber smiled, “There 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?”

“You’re right,” Cole pouted. Then, he had an idea. Cole smiled wickedly, “Baby, If we tear off

. Makenna’s disguise, do you think she would…”

“Stop it,” Amber elbowed Cole, “She didn’t mess with us for now. So we should keep our

distance too.”

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, “I need to use the bathroom.”

“You want me to go with you?” Cole raised his brows and teased Amber.

Amber smiled, “What do you think?”

Cole recognized the danger in that smile of Amber. He shivered and put his hands up, “I guess I’ll pass this time. Come back soon.”

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.

“What a coincidence, Ms. Reed,” Makenna said while she was putting on face powder.

Amber was looking at the lipstick. She replied calmly, “You’re right. What a coincidence for us

to meet in the bathroom.”

Makenna closed her powder case and looked at Amber’s bandage, “How are your injuries?”

Amber fixed her lipstick. She didn’t glance at Makenna at all, “Well, it’s still a long way to go.

You should know that better.”

“Ms. Reed, are you still blaming me for what happened?” Makenna suddenly started crying.

Amber felt it was funny. She hadn’t 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, didn’t exactly have the best taste, but luckily she had fixed her mistakes now.

Amber put her lipstick back into the purse, “Why should I? I’ve taken so much compensation. I’ll go over the top if I’m stili blaming you. May I know why Ms. Gardner has this thought? Do I

look like a petty person to you?”

“No…” Makenna waved her hands, “I just felt like you’re so cold to us, so I gather you’re still blaming me.”

Amber turned to look at Makenna, “You know, I’m a pretty straightforward person. I’m enthusiastic about the people I like, and I’m apathetic to those I dislike. So, what I don’t understand is that you know I don’t like you, but why are you still coming near me to get

snubbed?”

Makenna could hear someone chuckle softly in the cubicle after Amber said that. Her face was flushing red as she couldn’t believe she had just been mocked.

Amber looked away. “So, Ms. Gardner, stay away from me next time. Stop humiliating yourself. Didn’t you realize that you can never rival me?”

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.

Makenna’s 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.

“What are you doing here?” Cole stopped Jared in an impolite tone.

Jared ignored Cole and asked Amber, “Is Makenna here?”
