The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine)

Chapter 36 Amber's Sympathy

They arrived at the Vigny restaurant where Jack had western food for the first time years ago. It was

Amber's treat at that time.

Also, they used to gather with Katherine and friends here when they were in university.

Before Amber went abroad 3 years ago, she arranged her farewell party in this restaurant too.

So this restaurant meant a lot to them.

"Workaholic, I didn't expect you still remember this place."

Amber said surprisedly as she flung her wet hair and stared at the glistening doorway of the restaurant

with deep eyes.

"How can I forget?" Jack said with a bitter smile.

But Amber wrinkled her nose as she said, "You are too stinky though. Now you are a deputy general

manager of DT real estate agency. I come back all this way, while you take me to such a restaurant?"

Over the past 3 years, Amber had always been concerned about Jack and Katherine, though she was

abroad.

Otherwise, she wouldn't send a message to Jack when he divorced Katherine.

In her view, Jack was really awesome for he became the deputy general manager of DT after 3 years

of graduation.

And that might be the best he could do with his background.

"Then which restaurant do you prefer? It’s up to you. My treat," said Jack with a gentle smile.

"Well. Here is fine." Amber said with a pout as she got off the car.

She knew Jack enjoyed a high salary as a deputy general manager but had mostly spent on Katherine

and his mother’s hospital bill. So she didn't want to trouble him.

Getting off the car all wet, they just walked into the restaurant while they caught all diners’ eyes.

They sat down and ordered food. Soon their dishes were served.

They ate and chatted delightfully. But both of them didn't mention Katherine. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Amber didn’t want to upset Jack, and Jack didn't want to affect Amber's mood.

Amber smiled and blinked her eyes, "By the way, I want to look for a job since I'm back. Will you hire

me to work at your company, Jack?"

Jack was startled with a bitter smile, "Oh, dear, are you sick really?"

"You are sick with an unclear mind," Amber rolled her eyes. They used to chat jokingly like this when

they were in university.

Jack sighed in purpose, "Alright. You are such a gorgeous and wealthy girl. Why do you consider

working so fast as you’ve just come back?"

He basically knew a little about Amber's family.

Wasn't it a joke for such a signature wealthy beauty to work at DT real estate agency?

‘How can I help you if I don't go to work?’ Amber thought. Looking at Jack with a soft smile, however,

she said helplessly, "My father will let me take over the family business if I can’t find an ideal job."

Jack was speechless for a while.

Then Amber said, "Fine. Since you don't wanna hire me, Jack, I'll just work at my father's company."

Nodding his head, Jack didn't continue, for he didn't intend to interfere with her personal affairs.

They went back in the car happily after dinner.

"Can I go to your house?" Amber asked as she pointed at her wet skirt, "I want to take a hot shower

and change my wet clothes."

Jack raised his eyebrows as he thought it awkward to let her stay in his small dirty apartment.

And Brent also lived in there.

Jack shook his head as he said, "That’s a rented apartment and it's too messy. I'd rather book you a

comfortable hotel room."

Rented apartment?

Amber frowned and looked at Jack with sympathy.

He had suffered too much for the 3 years when she wasn't here.

Amber nodded with a smile, "Alright."

"Let's go to Tyson Hotel," said Jack.

"Okay."

Amber accepted quickly and didn't say she would pay the bill.

She knew Jack spent a lot of money on Katherine and Sophie. Otherwise, he wouldn't still rend a

house now.

However, she didn't want to hurt his pride by saying so. Jack might think she worried that he couldn't

afford it.

She knew well that men’s pride couldn't be trampled at all.

They got in the car on the way to the hotel. It was dark inside.

Amber suddenly asked, "How is auntie Sophie, by the way?"

"Not bad," said Jack.

Amber frowned, "Actually, I know what happen. I can help you. I mean, I can help Sophie."

"I've come up with another solution. My mother is in recovery and will soon leave the hospital," said

Jack.

"Really? That's great!"

Amber happily grinned, "You are awesome, Jack. You know I admired you so much as my idol when

we were in university."

"Stop it. You just wanted to copy my homework. Now there is no more homework." Jack rolled his eyes

jokingly.

Smiling slyly, Amber then asked, "Can I visit auntie Sophie tomorrow?"

Jack nodded, "Yep. I'll take you there after work tomorrow evening."

They arrived at the hotel.

Jack took down her luggage and checked in.

After they went into the room, Jack was about to leave.

Amber looked at the closed door. The smile on her face disappeared. She was pondering in deep

sympathy.

‘I know everything. You divorced with Katherine because she took the last 200 thousand that you use

for Sophie. No one can stand it.’

And the Parry family immediately spread the news once Katherine divorced Jack.

The Parry family always felt somehow superior. They thought that they were out of Jack's league.

Amber, however, felt that Jack was out of the Parry family's league.

There were various ways that Amber could know the situation, though the Parry family had messed up

the truth with lies of their divorce on purpose.

That 200 thousand was the last he had.

But Katherine took that money just for Tommy’s down payment of a new house.

It was ridiculous!

Amber had no idea how much Jack had gone through during that time.

But she did know that it was hard to stand such situation where his dying mom was supposed to be

saved but the last hope was cut off by Katherine.

But Jack made it.

"You are too painstaking. I don't want you to be so exhausted. So I'm back."

Amber smiled softly with firm eyes, "I'll definitely help you. I know that you are more than merely a

deputy general manager of the real estate agency."

After saying so, she took out her phone and made a call.

"Daddy, I've just finished my dinner and arrived at the hotel."

Pausing for a few seconds, Amber smiled, "Daddy, I want to work at EnRich, your construction

materials company. You put so much effort in it, and I want to experience myself. Can I?"

"Silly girl, you are wasted at such a small firm. Why not just come back to me." her father said ardently.

"Nope. I don’t wanna go back to you to take over the family business. I wanna do something myself.

Please, daddy!" Amber coyly asked as she putting her fair feet up and wagged.

"Aright. I'll call the current head of EnRich. Just go there and directly take over his position."

"Hee hee. Thanks, daddy. You are the best daddy."
