“Wow, looks like someone delivered herself right to us.” A blond man lounging on the corner couch whistled at me, tone sleazy.
I wished the floor would swallow me whole. My fingers twisted into my sweatshirt, and I kept my head down, not daring to move.
“Hey pretty, did you go to the wrong room?” The blond man asked. His footsteps came closer.
I knew I couldn’t avoid it forever. I took a long breath and lifted my head.
The moment the man saw my face, his steps froze. His Adam’s apple bobbed hard, then his expression twisted in disgust. “Where did this ugly girl come from? Get out!”
The switch from flirtation to insult was so fast it stunned me. But I wasn’t in the mood to argue. I scrambled up and rushed toward the door.
I had barely taken a step when a familiar voice sounded behind me. “Why are you here?”
It was Samson.
My whole body tensed. I turned slowly, forcing an awkward smile. “What a coincidence… you’re here too?”
“Mr. Ortega, you know her?” The blond man leaned in, confused. Clearly, he couldn’t understand why Samson would know a “mess like me.”
Samson didn’t answer right away. The woman beside him did-red dress, doll-like face, warm voice. “I saw her in the restroom earlier. She even picked up my lipstick for me. Samson, you know her?”
Samson finally spoke, his voice steady. “She’s a major shareholder of our Eclipse Pack. Amanda Lamb.”
The room went silent.
The blond man’s face was drained of color. His mouth opened, but no sound came out.
I was stunned too. Why did Samson reveal my identity?
Before I could process it, Samson continued naturally. “Ms. Lamb is likely here to discuss our

collaboration with Frostveil Pack. Convenient, since Frostveil’s alpha, Mr. Ellington, is right here. We can finalize everything today.”
My thoughts snapped into place. The blond man was Marcus Ellington, alpha of Frostveil Pack. Famous for being a doting brother.
The woman in red-his little sister, Chloe Ellington.
Marcus quickly adjusted his attitude, getting up with a polite smile. “So it’s Ms. Lamb. My apologies, truly. Your entrance was… memorable.”
My cheeks burned. I forced myself to smile and follow Samson’s lead. “Well, since we’re all here, Mr. Ellington, perhaps we can go over the details now?”
“No way, Samson!” Chloe whined, clutching his arm. “You promised you’d sing with me tonight. Don’t start talking about business now.”
Marcus joined in, laughing lightly. “She’s right, Mr. Ortega. We all work hard. Tonight should be a break. Ms. Lamb, since you’re already here, have a drink first. We can handle business later.”
Samson’s lips curved. His gaze at Marcus held a deeper meaning.
“Mr. Ellington may not be aware. Our largest shareholder is Ms. Lamb. Her word outranks mine. Since she came in person, I can’t use your invitation as an excuse to ignore her wishes.”
In one move, Samson placed all decision-making squarely onto my shoulders.
Marcus’s expression shifted. He immediately turned to me, voice more respectful than before. “Ms. Lamb, would you honor us? Please, sit down and have a drink. We’ll follow your lead on the collaboration.”
He didn’t wait for my answer. He guided me toward the empty seat beside Samson and gently pushed me down.
I tried to protest, but Marcus had already ordered more wine, not giving me any chance to
escape.
I sat stiffly, unsure what to do. I peeked at Samson. He was already looking at me. His eyes held reassurance and just a hint of teasing. And in that moment, I understood exactly what he
meant.
