Chapter 207 "With your good looks, you'd definitely be a hit if you debuted."
Peter held his breath, afraid to disturb her. At this moment, Amber looked like a fairy who had accidentally wandered into the mortal world, so beautiful that people didn't dare to approach.
The servant stood at the door, holding a tray with a cup of salt water on it. "Good morning, Miss Amber."
Amber reached out to take it and took a sip, "Thank you. Good morning to you too."
Her smile was sweet; Peter could even see the curve of her mouth. He knew that she had a habit of drinking a cup of salt water every morning. Today, he came at the right time and happened to see it.
The servant nodded, "If there's nothing else, Miss Amber, I'll go do something else."
"Mm, go ahead."
The servant turned around with the tray, and Amber turned to go back to her room.
Peter stood in place.
"Mr. Peter." The servant looked up and saw him, "You're here, good morning."
Upon hearing this, Amber stopped and looked in Peter's direction, "Peter?"
The moment she looked at him, Peter felt his heart almost stop. But after many years with Jarod... he had been through many storms, and quickly hid his emotions, appearing calm.
Peter walked over, "Good morning."
Amber leaned against the door frame, her smile even sweeter, "This is the first time you’ve come this early to find Jarod. Is something wrong?"
"What could be wrong," he replied, "Everything's fine."
"Ever since you told me that you saw Grace and Lynda meeting, I've had a bad feeling," Amber said, "I always feel uneasy."
"Don't overthink it. But... there is something I need to remind you."
"What is it?"
"Don't let Sebastian know that I saw Grace and Lynda meeting and told you about it."
Amber was confused, "Why?"
Peter smiled, "I'm close to Jarod, but I'm meddling in Sebastian's affairs. The two of them have always been at odds. If you tell him, it might cause unnecessary trouble."
"I see..." Amber thought for a moment, "That makes sense. I won't tell Sebastian. If he asks, I'll just say that someone else happened to see it."
"Smart!" Peter bent his finger and tapped her forehead, "Are you resting today?"
"Mm, I was planning to go back to sleep, but I saw you were here."
"It's nine o'clock," he pointed at his wristwatch, "Sleepyhead."
Peter, a tall man over 6 feet tall, wore a shirt and a pair of trousers. The top button was casually undone, and the sleeves were slightly rolled up. His posture was upright, and compared to the handsome men of the Lawrence family, he was in no way inferior.
His features were very strong, and although his eyes were lazy, they were full of shrewdness when you looked closely.
The Lawrence Group, now a leading company in New York, had many people trying to curry favor with it. One reason was that Jarod had firmly established the foundation from the beginning.
In this, Peter naturally played an indispensable role.
Secondly, it was Sebastian and Joshua, who had now further developed the Lawrence Group.
It could be said that without the foundation laid by Jarod, Sebastian would not have been able to grow the company so quickly and strongly.
Peter's ability was not to be underestimated. However, after Jarod's retirement, he also began to lead a leisurely life.
Amber covered her mouth, "Your gesture is just like the male lead in a script."
"Really? Have you been filming a lot lately?"
"I just think... the male lead is not as good-looking as you." Amber's eyes sparkled, "Peter, why don't you consider entering the entertainment industry?"
He raised an eyebrow, "To sell my looks?"
"With your good looks, you'd definitely be a hit if you debuted. Besides," Amber laughed. "You haven't found another job since you resigned from the Lawrence Group. I think the profession of a male star suits you very well."
"I'm afraid... I might not be up to the task."
"Why don't you believe in my judgment." Amber looked at him, "Anyway, you're free now, so why not consider it?"
The door to Jarod's room suddenly opened, and he walked out leaning on his crutches, "Amber, are you trying to poach my people?"
"Jarod, don't you think... I make a lot of sense."
Peter turned to look at Jarod, his gaze falling on his crutches, and he lightly curled his lips.
He really hated these crutches; he wanted to throw them out of the window and smash them to pieces.
Oh right, and that wheelchair.
Jarod laughed, "Peter might not be interested in the profession of a male star."
"But he... isn't he unemployed now?"
"Then you're underestimating him." Jarod looked at Peter, "He has the capital to play around in the entertainment industry."
Peter waved his hand, "Don't praise me like that."
Amber's gaze flickered between the two, "What... are you guys talking about?"
The more she listened, the more confused she became.
"In short, Peter may seem like an unemployed vagrant now, but he's actually very rich." Jarod said, "The stocks he's playing with are enough for him to live a worry-free life."
"Okay, if we're talking about money, no one can match the Lawrence family. Let's talk about serious stuff."
With that, Peter nodded slightly at Amber, "You go back to sleep."
Amber stood at the door of her room, watched the backs of her brother and Peter, shrugged, and closed the door.
After entering the room, Jarod set his crutches aside.
Peter crossed his arms, looking at him with disdain again, "I think, Amber should recommend you to enter the entertainment industry. Your acting skills can surpass many male stars."
"Didn't you say there was progress?" Jarod replied, ignoring his tease, "Tell me, what did you find?"
"I only found some clues. You think it's easy to investigate your brother?"
"I trust your abilities."
"Don't forget, he's also watching you," Peter answered, "I've been interacting with you frequently lately, so sooner or later he will focus on me."
"If he suspects you, you also have ways to escape from under his watch."
Peter shrugged, "In your eyes, I must be some sort of superman who can do anything."
"Are you not?" Jarod retorted, "Don't be overly modest. Very low-key people... can't attract women's attention."
"What are you trying to say?"
"You're not getting any younger, and you still don't have a partner." Jarod started laughing as he spoke, "There are countless beauties and wealthy ladies in New York; don't you like any of them?"
Peter paused for a moment, then laughed, "They don't like me."
"That's why I told you not to be too low-key. Look, even Amber thinks you're unemployed and idle at home."
Mentioning Amber, the image of her in her thin pajamas as she reached for the water glass, couldn't help but appear in Peter's mind.
