The changing room at the hot springs smelled faintly of essential oils. I had just taken off my blazer when Amy leaned in.

“Ms. Cobbett, you have been around Mr. Ortega for a while. Do you know if he has a girlfriend?” She put on lipstick in front of the mirror, but her eyes watched me through the reflection.

My hands paused as I folded my clothes. I kept a professional smile. “Sorry, Ms. Ashford. I only handle translation. I am not familiar with Mr. Ortega’s personal life.”

Amy clearly was not giving up. She set down her lipstick and stepped closer. “We are just chatting. A man like Mr. Ortega must have someone amazing beside him, right?”

Her fingertip brushed my sleeve, her tone overly friendly.

“I really don’t know.” I shifted away a little, letting my tone grow firmer.

“I am only a translator. It is not my place to ask about my employer’s private matters.”

That drew the line clearly. The smile on Amy’s face faded a bit. She shrugged. “Alright. I was being rude.”

Then she picked up her robe and walked out of the room.

I had just tied the belt of my robe when a sharp scream echoed outside. “Ahh… Snake!”

It was Amy.

My heart lurched. I grabbed the nearest pair of slip-resistant shoes and dashed out.

Amy was curled up against the wall in the hallway, her face pale. She pointed ahead with trembling hands. A spotted snake, about two feet long, was coiled on the floor, flicking its

tongue.

All her usual confidence and charm were gone. Her eyes were wet with fear and she bit her lip

hard.

“Don’t be scared!” I shouted. My gaze swept the corner and spotted a mop. I grabbed it and sprinted forward.

The snake jerked at the noise, lifted its head, and shot toward Amy.

I didn’t think. I kicked right at the spot below its head. The force sent the snake flying into the wall. It hit hard and fell limp.

“You okay? It didn’t bite you, right?” I knelt beside her. She was shaking all over. As soon as she saw me, she lunged into my arms, crying into my shoulder. “I was so scared… I have been afraid of snakes since I was a kid…”

Alice clicked her tongue in my head. “The contrast is wild. One second she is flirting with Samson, the next she is a crying kitten. Are you saving her like that? She is never forgetting this.”

I patted Amy’s back to calm her. I had just opened my mouth to say “It’s fine” when footsteps rushed up behind us.

I turned. Samson, Josh, and Alan had all run over. They froze at the scene. The usually calm translator was holding a sobbing representative from the Isnesh Pack, and a fainted snake lay on the floor.

“What happened?” Samson hurried over. His eyes first checked me from head to toe, then moved to Amy. “Are you hurt?”

Amy lifted her head from my shoulder, eyes red. “No … thanks to Ms. Cobbett.”

Her gaze returned to me with clear dependence.

Josh scratched his head, stunned. “Ms. Cobbett, you are incredible. You kicked the snake with one hit. Stronger than us.”

Alan nodded. “Yeah. That did not look like normal translator strength.”

My stomach tightened. I quickly explained. “Back home, we see snakes all the time. You get used to dealing with them. Let’s take Ms. Ashford to the hot spring so she can calm down.”

Samson didn’t speak. He only gave me a long look, the suspicion in his eyes growing stronger.

We moved everyone to the hot spring area. Josh and Alan slipped into a smaller pool nearby, leaving us three to talk.

Warm water rose around our legs. Amy finally relaxed and took a sip of juice.

While she wasn’t looking, I quietly leaned toward Samson and whispered, “She seems very interested in you.”
