Reid was of course surprised by Amanda's presence, especially by the woman's panicked words and expression."What's wrong, Amanda?" Reid asked, frowning."You have to help me," Amanda said in a demanding tone, ignoring Reid's question.Reid's frown deepened. “Yes, but first explain to me what's wrong? What should I help you with?” Reid asked again.But the woman instead paced around Reid's room, biting the tips of her nails. She muttered—rather babbled—to herself. “How could he order me to do this? Gosh, I'm an adult. He has no right to boss me around like this.”Reid turned to Charles, giving him a questioning look, maybe his personal assistant knew what was going on.Aren't Charles and Amanda quite close? Reid knew that Amanda often complained and even talked about himself to Charles. If it weren't for Amanda's enormous service, Reid would have reprimanded her.

Meanwhile, still in the same company but in a different room, a middle-aged man was walking back and forth in his room. Several times he seemed to clench his jaw and clench his fists tightly. Emotions were running deep in his heart, but he knew for certain that he couldn't get out of control at this time at work. Especially at times like this, Raynold couldn't possibly do anything that would make himself even more suspicious.A few moments later the door to Raynold's room opened, revealing the figures of Raynold's two sons, Harry and Brian."What's wrong, dad?" Harry asked after closing the room door tightly. Brian had walked ahead and taken a seat across from his father's work desk which was currently empty because the owner was still pacing around unable to sit."Are you sure last night's incident didn't leave any evidence that shows you were the perpetrator?" Raynold asked Harry, his voice sounding anxious.“You don't need to worry, dad. I've been very careful," said Harry."Yes, v

Reid stepped towards Amanda's table. Previously, Amanda had sent a message to Reid, telling him what table number she had. So when the restaurant waiter greeted Reid at the door and asked if Reid had made a reservation, Reid nodded and said Amanda's table number."Table number 17, in the name of Miss Waverly and Mr. Cooper," said the waiter with a frown. “Did you say the table number wrong? Mr. Cooper was here earlier, so you....”Reid nodded with a smile. “I'm not Mr. Cooper. You could say I'm a friend who came to greet them," replied Reid."Oh."After that, the waiter took Reid to table number 17 which was located on the roof, near the balcony.Reid could already see Amanda's figure from afar. The female employee wore a white long-sleeved shirt with a crop top and a matching skirt that hugged her long legs. The suit has a floral pattern that covers the entire surface of the shirt and skirt.Reid has to admit, Amanda's current appearance is indeed beautiful. That doesn't mean that Am

"Tell me this is a joke," Amanda wanted to say to Reid. That Reid's words just now were just the man's revenge to her because he had been told to pretend to be her boyriend. Surely Reid was just annoyed so he joked—outrageously.However, Amanda could see that Reid's expression was not joking at this time. The man's expression was very tense and his foot stepped on the brake pedal several times, but the car they were in did not slow down at all, continuing to move at the same speed.Reid concentrated completely on the steering wheel. Because currently the brake pedal isn't working, it means Reid has to control the steering wheel rotation properly. If a car slows down in front of him, he must immediately turn so as not to hit the car in front of him."Watch out!" Amanda exclaimed as the car in front of them slowed down. Reid could handle this situation easily, unfortunately another car was passing by from the front.Reid honked the horn loudly, making the driver of the car in front of h

Honestly, for Reid, the shock when their car collided with a tree wasn't as bad as he expected. It's not that Reid doesn't feel pain—Reid does. It's just that this pain is quite familiar.Does Reid often feel similar pain because he once worked in a repair shop and often used the race cars he serviced? No.Reid has always been able to drive well so he rarely has accidents at work. Even if Reid experience it, it is just a minor accident that does not cause pain.Reid is familiar with this shaking pain because since he was little, his stepmother often tortured him by hitting Reid on the head. Sometimes his ears would ring because Abigail's blows were so hard.Even since he was little, Reid knew that he had no one on his side. So if he rebelled against the harsh treatment of his stepmother—or sometimes even his stepbrother—then Reid would only get more and more beatings, no one would defend him, no one would come to save him. Reid was alone, and he had to survive, in silence.As time wen

Of course Reid didn't answer the truth. It could complicate matters if Amanda's father finds out that Reid came to Amanda and Chris's date to disrupt their date.John must have asked what Reid's reason was for doing that. And there was no way Reid could answer honestly that he was told by John's daughter directly to pretend to be her boyriend. In the end, John will think that Reid did this because he loves Amanda and doesn't want her to date another man.So what's next?It's Reid's turn to be betrothed to Amanda.Even though Reid owed Amanda a great debt of gratitude, he couldn't possibly repay her in this way.Reid was already hurt enough by being cheated on by Nancy. The wound that Nancy left in Reid's heart made Reid no longer want to have a romantic relationship. At least, not for now.So Reid immediately answered, "Just now I happened to have a business meeting with one of the clients at the same restaurant as Amanda's date. Then because our business was finished at the same time

This morning when Reid arrived at the office and opened the door to his office room, he was surprised to find that there was someone waiting for him there. Moreover, this figure, Reid doesn't think she will come to work today, even Reid himself is planning to get permission for her leave - sick leave.“Why are you coming to work? You should still be in the hospital," Reid said to Amanda.The woman wore her usual work attire, a stiff and formal suit, and minimalist make-up that emphasized her eyes.Looking at Amanda's appearance now, no one would have thought that the previous night the woman was lying in hospital. There was no trace of pain on her face. Should Reid be happy?Yes, Reid is happy. But that doesn't mean he expects his female employees to go straight to work. Even if Amanda doesn't want to stay in the hospital for long, she should at least rest at home."Are you kidding? Just last night I was locked up in that boring room, especially with my father who was very chatty lik
