Chasing My Rejected Wife

Hah! A Sense of Relief

Amber had limped out of the hospital and not far from it, she saw a beggar squatting on the ground asking for money. She casually tossed the gold card to the beggar.

Holding the gold card, the beggar looked at her in disbelief. As Amber was leaving, she turned back and told the beggar, "There's no password or limit. Take as much as you want!"

Amber heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the beggar taking the gold card to an ATM nearby. The anger that she had suppressed in her heart just now had finally dissipated a little.

"Mr. Barron, didn't you want to act like a somebody because you have money? I'll let you be someone then!" thought Amber.

She happily hailed a taxi and went home. Since her hands and legs were injured because of the car accident, she didn't go to work on the next day. When she called to ask for a leave, Elliot picked up the phone and his tone was sarcastic. "Amber Stone, are you starting to misbehave because I allowed you to go home earlier yesterday? Are you trying to slack?"

"It's not like that, Mr. Thomson. My hands and legs are really injured." Amber tried to explain.

"Judging by your voice, it doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with you. As long as you can get up, you better come to work right away. You have to get here even if you have to crawl!"

After saying that, Elliot hung up the phone and Amber was left fuming. Elliot's mood swings made it really difficult for her to please him. She had no choice but to give in since she needed to work under him. She swallowed her anger and departed to the office.

Pushing open the door to the president's office, Elliot was leaning against a chair while making a phone call. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Amber limping in with gauze wrapped around her hand. "Are you really injured or are you deliberately wrapped in gauze to bluff me?" asked Elliot.

"I'm genuinely injured!" asserted Amber.

"Come over and let me check!" ordered Elliot rudely. Amber lowered her head and hobbled towards him. Not waiting for her to reach out her hand, he just grabbed her hand and started unwrapping the gauze. Finally, he believed her upon seeing the scars on her.

"What's wrong with you? Why have you become so reckless as soon as you returned to this place? Previously, you had a dispute during the party, and now you got yourself hurt again?"

"I didn't want it that way too," answered Amber with her head down.

She was standing so close to Elliot that he could smell her pleasant body scent. Elliot suddenly felt interested. He had never liked this assistant whom Pierce Hammond had forcefully made him accept, and he had never checked her out properly. As they were standing face to face today, he suddenly noticed something different.

Her fingers were fair and slender. As she stood before him with her head lowered, he could clearly see her slender neck, with skin that was youthful and glowing. This made his heart itch.

"Am I possessed? How can I be interested in such a dull woman?" Elliot thought.

He suddenly remembered that since the first day Amber came to be his assistant, she had never looked him in the eye. Every time, she would lower her head, look down and behave respectfully. He was always annoyed by such boring and conventional people. However, he suddenly realised today that something wasn't right.

He was Elliot Thompson, who possessed a gorgeous and charming appearance. There had been an innumerable amount of women who fell head over heels for him. But this young woman right here, why wasn't she obsessed over him?

This thought instantly put Elliot in a bad mood. "Raise your head up!" Elliot commanded Amber harshly.

Keeping her head low, Amber answered in a soft voice, "Mr. Thomson, please let me know if you need anything."

How bold of her to go against his command. Elliot was angered. He grabbed Amber by her chin and forced her to raise her head.

As his hand lifted her head up, Amber reluctantly looked at him. Elliot then came across a pair of extremely beautiful eyes.

The malicious words in his mouth were held back in that instant and a sense of surprise overwhelmed him. "This woman's eyes are so beautiful!"

Elliot had always acted at will. Without any consideration, he took away the glasses from Amber's face. Now, he could see all the more clearly.

Her facial features were exquisite, and her skin was so smooth and delicate. Especially her beautiful eyes, which were simply dazzling.

Elliot cursed in a low voice, "D*mn, Pierce Hammond. I'm not done with you!"

Amber didn't understand what was wrong with Elliot. Why did he start to scold Pierce out of nowhere. Her chin was aching because of his grip. Holding back her anger, she said, "Mr. Thomson, can you let go of me?"

"Let go? Okay, no problem, but you have to promise me one thing."

"What is it?"

"First, let me kiss you!" Elliot then lowered his head and kissed her.

Amber didn't expect that he would be so presumptuous to kiss her as he pleased. Without further consideration, she lifted her hand and gave him a slap across the face.

Elliot had never dreamed that Amber, who seemed gentle and weak usually, would dare to act this way. He didn't dodge at all and the slap landed hard on his cheek.

Since Elliot was born until now, no one had been bold enough to hit him. He let go of Amber in an instant and said in a harsh voice, "You don't wish to work here anymore, do you?"

Naturally, Amber knew about Elliot. As the most beloved young master of the dignified Thomson family, he had probably never been slapped in the face by a woman before. Now, she had definitely gotten herself into trouble.

It was no joke to provoke this playboy, Elliot surely wouldn't let her off. Since this couldn't end well, Amber stopped pretending and said, "Mr. Thomson, I've tolerated you for a long time! If you want to fire me, then just do it. If I'm not meant to be here, then there'll be somewhere else where I'm meant to be. I quit!"

After saying that, she opened her bag and took out the phone and car key that Elliot had given her. She threw them on the table and turned to leave. Watching her as she was limping out, Elliot touched his burning cheek and a playful smile crept on his face. "Amber Stone, since you've provoked me, you won't be let off so easily. Just wait and see!"

Amber walked out of the Thomson's building and just as she was about to head to the bus stop, her phone rang. She picked it up. It was a call from her neighbour. "Amber, your uncle had fainted and was sent to the hospital. Hurry up and come to the hospital!"

Amber was shocked. She quickly stopped a taxi and rushed to the hospital. When she arrived, her uncle was still being rescued in the emergency room, and her neighbour was waiting at the entrance.

Amber approached the neighbour and asked anxiously, "How is it going?"

"I don't know. The doctor is still rescuing. The situation doesn't seem too good."

"What should I do?" Amber was like a cat on a hot tin roof. After waiting at the emergency for some time, the door opened and a doctor came out to ask, "Who's the patient's family?"

"Yes, I am." Amber quickly went forward.

"The patient's condition is not very good. He is suffering from uremia and needs a new kidney...."

Amber had a blackout for an instant. She reached out to lean against the wall to keep herself stable.

The doctor looked at her with sympathy. "The most important thing at the moment is to find a suitable kidney donor. You can go and pay the hospitalisation and examination fees first."

Amber went to the p*****t counter with a heavy heart. Misfortunes never come singly, it seemed like that was her current situation. She had lost her job, and her uncle was diagnosed with such illness....

After paying the hospitalisation fees, Amber was ready to go home to bring some things for her uncle. As soon as she walked out of the hospital entrance, she bumped into a person and the things that the person was holding fell to the ground. "Don't you have eyes?" the person scolded.

The person was infuriated and started cursing. Amber hurriedly apologised, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"

While apologising, Amber squatted down to help pick up the items that had fallen to the ground. The person felt a little embarrassed. Taking a closer look at her, she called, "Amber?"

Amber looked up at her. "Noemi?"

"Where the hell have you been? You meanie, how dare you not contact me for three years? I'm so mad at you!" Noemi Herrera stopped picking up her things and threw a punch at Amber.

Naturally, the long-lost buddies have a lot to say. Noemi's temper was still the same as before. They had the best relationship during their school years. Then, Noemi chose to study abroad, and Amber chose to get married.

Amber had silently disappeared after her divorce with Rodney. Since Noemi got back after completing her studies, she had been inquiring about Amber's whereabouts. After asking many people and still finding no answer, she didn't expect to meet Amber by chance this time.

Now, Noemi was quite a famous playwright-director at a TV station. When she heard that Amber was looking for a job, her eyes lit up. "Amber, I'm going to plan a reality show for blind dates, and I need female guests to build momentum in the early stage. How about you come and be a female guest?"

"I can't!" Amber shook her head.

"Why not? You are so beautiful. If you stand on the stage, imagine how much attention you will attract. I'm telling you, this advantage is not open to outsiders, you're not becoming a female guest for nothing. I have invited several sponsors for this show. The pay is very high, plus you'll be paid on a daily basis. Most importantly, this is easy money. Later, I'll give you some information to read and then you'll know."

Amber was tempted by her words. "Can I?"

"Sure!" Noemi gleefully took out her phone and dialed, "I've found a female guest. You just have to find another five more."

Noemi had always acted with alacrity. She immediately stuffed Amber with a big bulk of different materials related to the reality show and asked her to study them carefully when she go back.
