Josh was the first to break. He had just taken a sip of juice when he choked and sprayed it out. Alan almost stood up in the water. I stayed frozen, my mind blank. Even Alice went silent.

But the reaction that shocked me most came from Samson. His hand stopped midair with the glass still in it. His eyes were full of disbelief, and the look he gave me was so complicated it felt like he was seeing someone completely different.

Amy was still watching me with hope. I opened my mouth, but no sound came out.

My cheeks were burning hot. My brain rebooted after a full three seconds before I finally found my

voice.

Facing Amy’s bright green eyes, I tried to keep my tone gentle but firm. “Ms. Ashford, I’m sorry. I’m not planning to date anyone right now, whether men or women.”

Amy’s expression dimmed a little, but she didn’t look as hurt as I expected.

Instead, she raised a brow and straightened up, her wet blond hair sticking to her shoulders. She still looked bold and dazzling. “It’s fine. I like people who love bravely, and I respect other people’s choices.”

Alice reappeared, confused. “This woman … is interesting. Also, I sensed a faint energy wave just now. Strange.”

I was about to ask when Amy suddenly turned to Samson. Her smile sharpened with confidence. “But Mr. Ortega, I do have one condition. For the partnership between Eclipse Pack and Isnesh Pack, the translator must be Ms. Cobbett. If someone else handles it, I will have to reconsider the deal.”

Samson finally moved. He took a sip of water, then looked at me. His eyes grew even more unreadable, like he was trying to figure something out.

A moment later, he turned to Amy. His voice was steady. “As long as Ms. Ashford is satisfied, the translator is fine.”

I couldn’t help letting out a laugh. Amy was really something. Couldn’t get the girl, so she used a partnership to keep me close. It was surprisingly straightforward.

She shot me a proud look. I nodded helplessly. “Of course. That is my job.”

With the flirting gone, Amy became sharp and organized. Even Samson complimented her professionalism.

I sat beside them translating. Every time I looked up, I ran into Samson’s gaze. He kept watching me like a spotlight, making me uneasy.

By sunset, the partnership details were finalized. Amy’s staff loaded her luggage into the car. She walked up to me and opened her arms. “Ms. Cobbett, even though we can’t be together, I’m glad we met.”

I blinked in surprise, then hugged her back.

The next second, she suddenly kissed me on the cheek. Her lips were soft and carried a faint fruity scent.

“It’s a goodbye kiss. Don’t mind it.” She stepped back with a smile and waved. “Once the

then.” partnership starts, I’ll come to Eclipse Pack again. I’ll find you

“Wait…” I hadn’t even processed the kiss when Alice suddenly yelled in my mind. “Energy! I felt a clean burst of energy just now. Not much, but very unique. Something is off with this

woman!”

My heart tightened. I glanced at Amy, who was already opening the car door. She shot me a playful gesture before ducking inside. The car soon disappeared down the mountain road.

“Do you need a ride back?” Samson’s voice behind me cut off my thoughts.

He had changed back into a suit. The top two buttons were still undone, but his gaze was much heavier than before.

“No, I’ll just call a cab.” I waved quickly. I needed to get home and think. I did not want to be alone with him right now.

Samson didn’t insist. He simply handed me a folder. “This is the supplementary agreement. Keep a copy.”

My fingers accidentally brushed his when I took it. His skin was cool. I jolted like I’d been shocked and pulled my hand back, muttering a quick thanks before walking away.

Josh called after me. “Ms. Cobbett, let’s train together sometime. Your reflexes are insane!”

I didn’t dare turn back. I just waved.
