Samson’s POV:

Amanda didn’t slam the car door very hard, yet it hit my chest like a hammer.

I stayed in the driver’s seat, unmoving, watching her walk toward the castle. The porch lights stretched her shadow long and thin, carrying a quiet kind of stubbornness.

My fingers brushed the steering wheel as her angry expression replayed in my mind.

Only now did it sink in. I had been wrong.

Using Chloe’s feelings to steady Marcus was the quickest business strategy, a common practice in pack negotiations.

But to Amanda, that was trampling on someone’s sincerity.

She protected Chloe because Chloe’s feelings were simple and pure. And I had shattered that purity.

I opened my messages with Chloe and typed, “Chloe, about the negotiations. I used your goodwill. I’m sorry. My attitude toward you is only friendly. Please don’t misunderstand.”

Once sent, the tightness in my chest eased slightly.

Another message popped up from my team. “Mr. Ortega, Amy Ashford from Isnesh Pack has confirmed arrival at 10 a.m. tomorrow. Flight details attached. She is bringing five people. Main agenda is language adaptation for the energy crystal trade.”

I put away my thoughts and opened the chat window with Sara.

This mysterious Isnesh language teacher worked efficiently and stayed discreet. She was the best person to receive Amy.

After confirming the arrangements, I drove straight to the Operations Department to finalize the prep work.

Amanda’s POV:

The next morning, I left the castle with a backpack stuffed with clothes and makeup.

I stopped at a mall restroom three kilometers away and spent 10 minutes changing.

The yellowish sickly makeup came off. A crisp cream suit replaced my hoodie. A light, professional makeup look completed the shift. The mirror no longer reflected a plain student. It showed Sara, the sharp and polished Isnesh language specialist.

When I arrived at the airport, the flight was due in 20 minutes.

Holding an “Amy Ashford” sign, I waited at the exit. Just as I pulled out my phone, a group with rolling suitcases walked out. Leading them was a blonde woman in a red suit, aura sharp enough to slice glass. It was Amy.

“Hello, Ms. Ashford, welcome. I’ve been waiting for you.” I walked up quickly and greeted her in fluent Isnesh, my pronunciation so precise even I was a little impressed.

Amy turned around, her emerald eyes sweeping over me from head to toe. She gave my hand a brief, polite shake, her fingertips cool to the touch. “My team is still picking up their luggage. We can head out first.”

Her accent was noticeable but clear.

I nodded and guided her toward the exit.

We reached the main hall when she glanced at me, a teasing smile blooming. “So, Mr. Ortega didn’t come? I thought I’d finally meet the legendary heir of Eclipse Pack.”

“Mr. Ortega had urgent matters. He’ll come shortly. I’ll take you to the hotel first.” I kept the smile professional.

No problem. Amy waved it off, then leaned closer with a conspiratorial grin. “Please remind him to bring the red wine he promised. I’ve been thinking about it for half a month.”

Red wine?

My heart thumped. Samson never mentioned this.

But face didn’t show it. “Of course, Ms. Ashford. I’ll

message.”

At the hotel, Cody’s team was already waiting to receive them. While checking in, Amy added casually, “I’ll need two room cards.”

I didn’t ask why. I just retrieved the extra card from the front desk. At her door, she accepted the cards and gave me a meaningful look. “Thank you, Ms. Cobbett. When Mr. Ortega arrives, do let me know.”

After she closed the door, I messaged Samson immediately-about the red wine request, the two key cards, and everything else she had mentioned.

Before he replied, I went to the café on the first floor and waited. I couldn’t risk Samson showing up and not finding me.

Two cups of coffee later, my phone buzzed. It was message from Samson. “I’m at the hotel entrance. Meet me in the restaurant.”
