Chapter 15
Amber didn’t know if Elliot was telling the truth or not, but she wouldn’t give up even on the slightest chance. So, she rushed to the Light Universe Hotel at once.
Upon arriving at the Light Universe Hotel, she opened the car door in a hurry and ran into the hotel as fast as she could towards the lift. As she took a step into the lift, she saw Rodney and Celia at a glance.
It was too late to retreat. Besides, there was no reason to. She wasn’t guilty of anything, so why should she be afraid of this adulterous pair?
Seeing that Amber came into the lift, Celia immediately leaned against Rodney. He became a little stiff. He glanced at Amber from the corner of his eyes. She didn’t even look at him, just standing aside with her arms crossed, and her expression was as cold as ice.
He felt angry but kept it in his heart. He wanted to push Celia away at first, but seeing that Amber ignored him, he turned to hold Celia instead.
Amber was not paying attention to them at all. Her phone rang again and she hastily took it out from her pocket. Elliot’s voice was heard saying, “30 minutes is up!”
“I’m already in the lift!”
“I only gave you 30 minutes. Since you didn’t follow the rules, then let’s drop this matter!”
Hearing Elliot’s cold voice, Amber became anxious. “Elliot Thomson, you can’t do this! I’m already here. There was a traffic jam, you can’t blame it on me!”
Watching how she was explaining herself so anxiously, Rodney’s heart was fuming. This d*mn woman. Back when they were still dating, he was always the one who had to wait for her. Every time, she would
be late, but he had never seen her apologising about it. It was true that without comparison, there would be no misery!
Rodney was all steamed up. Then, the lift stopped. Amber rushed out and went straight to the room where Elliot was at.
By observing Rodney’s expression, Celia could tell that he was angry. Thinking that it was an opportune moment, she added, “Miss. Stone seems to be together with Mr. Thomson now. Mr. Thomson is such a playboy…”
“Do you have anything to do with other people’s business?” Rodney was unhappy.
Seeing that his reaction was cold and grumpy, Celia felt a little embarrassed.
Amber hurriedly pushed open the room door. Elliot was sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed while Walter was standing next to him. She squeezed out a smile on her face and greeted, “Mr. Thomson!”
“Humph!” responded Elliot while he glanced at the watch on his wrist.
“You’re late, Miss. Stone!”
“Mr. Thomson, I’m sorry!” replied Amber with a smile on her face.
“Sorry? You do know my rules, right?”
“Yes, I do! Mr. Thomson, regarding the kidney source…”
Elliot raised his bandaged wrist and blew on it. He shot a glance at Amber and said, “Regarding the kidney source, it’s just a snap for me, but…”
Amber held back her impatience and replied, “As long as Mr. Thomson can help me, I’m willing to do anything!”
“Willing to do anything?” Elliot drawled.
“Um… except for that…,” Amber stammered. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Elliot raised his eyebrows and thought that this woman was quite interesting. Other women were all head over heels for him, but she was very resistant to having anything to do with him.
His favourite thing to do was to seek novelty. Amber was such a beauty and was exactly his cup of tea. Such things couldn’t be rushed.
As he was thinking, Elliot put on a smile that was out of this world. “Do you still want to fire me?”
“No, not anymore.”
“Since that’s the case, then sign this contract.” Elliot gave Walter a signal. Walter opened his briefcase, took out the contract, and handed it to Amber.
Amber took the contract, feeling a little puzzled. “What is this?”
“This is the employment contract. Didn’t you fire me before this? So, let’s sign the contract again. Your uncle’s kidney source is on me. And the prerequisite is that you need to come back to work at the office.”
Amber looked through the contract and didn’t notice anything different. The doctor had said that her uncle’s condition allowed no time to be wasted. She couldn’t let anything happen to him. She would give her all for her uncle. Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and picked up the pen to sign.
Elliot’s gaze was focused on Amber. Seeing that she had signed the contract, he signalled Walter to put it away. Then, he smirked at Amber and said, “The contract is effective from now on. I will fulfil my
duties and I also hope that you can remember your responsibilities. Remember to be on call at all times!”
