Chapter 332 Embracing the Casual Ride
Shirley spent a good while looking at the outfit Amber had picked for her, finding it too flashy.
“Amber, what about a gray suit instead?”
“Sure, Ms. Dunn. You look great in anything.” Amber said, glancing at Shirley’s impressive figure.
Rolling her eyes, Shirley retorted, “Flattery won’t help, Amber. Help me find something that feels down-
to–earth.”
Amber looked again at her, focusing for a moment on her figure. “Ms. Dunn, I’m sure Robin has a pretty memorable impression of that part of you.”
Realizing where Amber’s eyes had wandered, Shirley quickly pulled her collar up, feigning sternness. “Amber, I’m starting to think you’re not as professional as you look!”
Pouting, Amber worried for a moment that Shirley was upset.
“Oh, Amber, let me ask you something,” Shirley said, blushing. “Do you think Robin has feelings for me?”
Amber glanced up at her, catching a hopeful glint in her eyes.
“Yes!” she nodded, “I think he does. Look at all he’s done since he came to Harmonfield.
“Before, Abyssal Dominion and the Hamiltons were always pressuring the Dunns. But ever since Robin joined you, they’ve kept their distance.
“Rygar and his people even helped the Dunns handle a few troublesome issues.
“In just six months, the market share of the Dunns has doubled! That’s all thanks to Robin’s influence.
“If he didn’t care for you, Ms. Dunn, why would he go through all this trouble?
“Money isn’t his motivation; he seems unaffected by wealth. He must be doing it for you!”
Shirley’s cheeks turned rosy, and she smiled, her eyes lighting up.
“All right, I’ll make him a big dinner myself in a few days. You can come and help me, Amber.”
Amber chuckled nervously. “Um, Ms. Dunn, maybe we shouldn’t…”
“No way! I want to cook it myself,” Shirley insisted firmly.
“Okay, if that’s what you want,” Amber said with a resigned smile.
“Look, Amber, what do you think of this outfit for both of us?” Shirley pointed to a very plain outfit on the
screen.
Amber took in the drab design, which looked like a cleaner’s uniform. “Ms. Dunn, isn’t that a little too understated?”
“That’s the point,” Shirley replied with a grin, pointing at the outfit. “Let’s order this one. You place the

order and ensure it’s delivered by this afternoon.”
“Got it.” Amber arranged for a same–day delivery at 3 PM.
In the afternoon, the building’s security guard, Wayne, brought the outfits to Shirley’s office.
“Wayne, how do you get to work daily?” she asked him.
“I ride an electric bike, Ms. Dunn,” he answered.
“An electric bike? Perfect!” Shirley’s eyes lit up.

“Would you lend us two bikes for the evening? I’ll have Ms. Jenning transfer 500 dollars each to you as a transportation fee.”
“No need to pay me, Ms. Dunn. I’ll get the keys immediately!” Wayne said, hurrying off.
Ten minutes later, he returned with the keys and photos of the license plates and the location of the bikes.
“Amber, please transfer Wayne 1,000 dollars as a thank–you,” Shirley said, then turned to face her assistant. “Amber, do you know how to ride an electric bike?”
“Yes, but are you sure you want to ride one to the dinner, Ms. Dunn?” Amber asked, a little surprised.
Shirley nodded, “I want to keep things casual and approachable with Rosalie’s mom. It’ll make the dinner feel more relaxed.
“Think about it: if we show up in business attire in a Porsche at that kind of hotel, it might be too intimidating.
“Better if we wear casual clothes and take an electric bike.”
Amber shrugged. “If you’re set on it, then all right.”
“By the way, I don’t actually know how to ride an electric bike,” Shirley admitted. “Can you teach me? Let’s go down and try together.”
Knowing how much this meant to her boss, Amber smiled and agreed. “Let’s change into our new outfits and head down.”
Considering how serious she was, Amber understood that Shirley didn’t want Rosalie’s family to feel pressured.
“You’re going all out for Rosalie,” Amber remarked as they changed.
“It’s not about going all out,” Shirley replied, adjusting the slightly snug outfit. “Helping each other is how we get through tough times.”
“Oh no, this outfit feels a bit tight.”
Shirley looked at the outfit she wore, noticing it was too small. “Forget it; there’s no time to change now. Let’s go downstairs!”
Amber had also finished changing.

Together, they headed to the bike storage area and found the two electric bikes Wayne had lent them.
Amber looked at the two nearly falling–apart electric bikes and frowned, “Ms. Dunn, are these things going to fall apart while we ride them?”
Nervous as well, Shirley hesitated. “They do look a bit shaky, don’t they? Well, let’s give it a try. Show me how to ride!”
Amber pulled one of the bikes out and positioned it. “First, sit here. I’ll guide you through the controls. We can do a test ride on the plaza in front of the building.
“Once you get the hang of it, we’ll head to the hotel. Since it’s before rush hour, we’ll have two hours to get there.”
Shirley shook her head, “It’s only a 20–minute ride, and you’re telling me to leave two hours early?”
“First, let’s see you try riding,” Amber replied.
