Honey, I Don't Dare Again (Amber and Jared) novel novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Suitors

Both Amber and Jared raised their heads to look over. On the other hand, Hayden walked over

while twirling a car key on his finger.

Jared glanced at Hayden and the woman beside him with narrowed eyes and frowned.

Then, Jared wondered, why did she let Hayden pick her up?

Since when did they have such a good relationship?

When Hayden saw Jared, Hayden was also a little surprised. “Jared, you’re here as well, and

even sitting with Ms. Reed? You guys aren’t on a date, are you?”

He pointed to the two playfully.

Amber put the ice pack aside and rolled her eyes at Hayden. “What nonsense are you talking

about? I came here for a business meeting and met Mr. Farrell by chance.”

“Is that so?” Hayden rubbed his chin with disbelief.

Jared remained silent but did not deny it either.

From Jared’s action, Hayden believed it and pursed his lips with disinterest. Then, he saw Amber’s swollen ankle and was staggered, “Ms. Reed, what happened to your ankle?”

“I have sprained it.” Amber put her shoes back on and replied indifferently.

Hayden clicked his tongue and said, “It seems quite bad. I am afraid you have injured your

bones as well.”

“Hence, your next task is to send me to the hospital.” Amber looked up at him.

Hayden acted as if he was her subordinate. “Yes, boss!”

Amber played along with him and extended her hand towards him. “What are you still standing there for? Come over and help me up!”

“Alright!”

Hayden came forward and helped Amber up from the sofa.

With a grim expression, Jared coldly watched the interaction between the two. Then, he slowly pursed his lips grimly.

Especially when Jared saw Hayden wrap his arm around Amber’s waist, Jared’s aura was so grim that it was terrifying.

However, neither Amber nor Hayden noticed Jared’s unusual behaviour.

Amber’s sprained ankle was so bad that she could not even touch the ground with her ankle. Whenever her ankle touched the ground, it would hurt. Therefore, she did not have the mood to

pay attention to anything else.

On the other hand, Hayden was focusing on supporting Amber to prevent her from falling. Thus, he did not notice other things as well.

Without even bidding goodbye to Jared, both of them headed towards the hotel entrance.

Jared’s gaze darkened as he watched the two leave. There was no hint of expression on his poker face.

“Investigate whether that elevator incident was an accident or man–made.” Jared stood up

and ordered in a cold voice.

With the development of the Farrell Group these years, it had indeed robbed the interests of

some enterprises.

Thus, Jared could not guarantee that those enterprises would not harm him.

“Alright.” Ben, who was at the side, replied and immediately investigated the matter.

Soon, he came back from the investigation. “Mr. Farrell, I have gotten to the bottom of it. It was an accident. The elevator already malfunctioned once in the morning. However, the person in charge of the hotel did not call to stop the elevator, nor did he notify anyone to repair it. That led to the occurrence of the situation we encountered.”

Speaking of this, Ben was also a little scared.

Fortunately, they were lucky that the elevator finally descended safely to the first floor.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

“How dare he not stop the operation.” Jared looked extremely livid as he clenched his fists. “Notify the headquarters‘ HR department to replace the person in charge of the hotel. Ask them to stop the operation of elevators for maintenance immediately.”

“Yes, boss.” Ben nodded.

Jared suddenly thought of something. “In addition, find out what happened between Amber

and Hayden.”

Amber and Hayden had known each other from the past. However, their relationship was

average and not much different than that of strangers.

However, their relationship had improved by leaps. They could even mess around with each other. Therefore, Jared believed that something must have been going on between Amber and

Hayden.

When Ben saw the sadness flashed across Jared’s eyes, Ben knew that Jared must have been

jealous of Amber and Hayden.

Although Ben thought so in his heart, he dared not say it out loud. So he could only play dumb. and answered. “Okay.”

Hayden helped Amber into the hospital and registered at the front desk.

On the other hand, Makenna and the others came over while bantering.

The first person to notice Amber was not Makenna, but her friend, Chloe Mendez.

Chloe pulled Makenna’s sleeve and pointed towards the registration counter. “Makenna, look, isn’t that Amber? And Mr. Cohen as well. Why are they together?”

Makenna gradually stopped smiling and looked in the direction Chloe pointed. Makenna’s

eyes

darkened, but her tone was soft, “It is indeed Ms. Reed and Mr. Cohen. But Ms. Reed seems

to be injured.”

Her gaze shifted down and settled on the foot that Amber had lifted up. Makenna could see

the redness and swell on it.

“Miss Garland, was that your idea as well?” Makenna looked at Gigi, who was on the other

side.

Gigi glanced coldly at Amber’s ankle and shook her head arrogantly. “No.”

“That is strange, then, Makenna murmured.

Chloe added, “Makenna, they are turning around.”

Makenna looked over again.

This time, she met Amber’s eyes.

Amber could not help but chuckle.

Hayden looked down at her, “What are you laughing at?”

“That is because I think the world is indeed small. I met Jared at the hotel and Makenna at the

hospital. Who else could have such luck?” Ambér replied.

Hayden watched as Makenna and the others walked over. A gossipy look flashed across his face. “They are looking for you.”

Amber heard the gloating in his tone and glared at him steely.

The three of them stopped in front of Amber.

Makenna smiled and greeted, “Miss Reed, Mr. Cohen, what a coincidence.”

“It is quite a coincidence.” Amber nodded indifferently. Then, she looked at Gigi and thought of

something.

Makenna’s eyes darted between Amber and Hayden. A strange look flashed across her face. and quickly disappeared. She pretended to be curious and asked, “Ms. Reed, why are you with Mr. Cohen? Wouldn’t Mr. Lyon be angry if he finds out?”

Hayden raised his eyebrows.

He pondered, ‘This woman is sowing discord between Amber and Cole.’

Amber ruffled the hair around her ears. Although she got seen hanging out with another man, she did not panic. Instead, she replied coldly, “Why would he be angry? Me having so many suitors would only make him seem outstanding. He is more concerned about preventing me from getting snatched away than getting angry.”

Makenna’s expression stiffened for a moment. Then, she smiled awkwardly, “Miss Reed, you

are quite funny.”

Chloe disdainfully rolled her eyes. “She is not funny but just shameless. She has a boyfriend, but she is still out fooling around with other men.”

“Are you jealous, huh?” Amber looked at her with a smile, “I have suitors whenever I want. Is it because you do not have one? That is why you cannot bear the sight of me having them?”

“I… I am not.” Chloe flushed with embarrassment.

Amber smirked, “Are you sure you are not jealous? Don’t be shy to admit it. After all, you are ugly and no one will look at you. So it is normal to be jealous of a beautiful woman. Rest assured, I won’t make fun of you.”

“You…” Chloe was so enraged that she wanted to cry out. However, she couldn’t deny that she was indeed jealous.

Upon seeing Amber effortlessly infuriated Chloe, Hayden smiled with interest.

Hayden now wondered if Jared knew this ex–wife of his has such a razor–sharp tongue.

“Miss Reed.” Makenna pulled Chloe behind herself. “Were you saying that Mr. Cohen is also your suitor?”

“Tell her yourself.” Amber nudged Hayden with her elbow. She warned in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “If you dare to talk nonsense, I will make sure you have a miserable time ahead.”

The corners of Hayden’s mouth twitched. At first, he did not want to get involved and only wanted to watch the bustle. However, these women had dragged him into it, so he had no choice but to stand out and respond. “Of course!”

Between Makenna and Amber, he disliked the former even more.

Thus, he would rather be on Amber’s side.
