Last week, Hugh handed over some of the reins for diplomacy and logistics. The look in his eyes told me. he meant every word. I wouldn’t let him down.

After changing out of my training gear, I made my way to the Operations Department. The place felt oddly hollow compared to usual.

The girl at the front desk looked like she’d been crying. Her eyes were still red. When she saw me, she jumped up from her seat. “Ms. Lamb, you’re here. Three more people from logistics quit this morning. They said they’re afraid Derrick might go after them.”

I nodded and scanned the floor. Three workstations by the window sat empty. Papers still covered the desks. A nearby bin overflowed with scrapped reports. Even the break room, which was usually buzzing, sat quiet like someone had cut the power.

The way the morale had collapsed across the department hit harder than the crystal mine shutting down.

“Hand me the resignation forms. I’ll take care of them.” I took the folder from the receptionist. My finger slid across the “personal reasons” listed under the exit form. My chest tightened. “Also, tell everyone who’s still on the clock to meet in the small conference room. They have ten minutes.”

Once that was done, I turned and headed upstairs. I knocked gently. Samson’s deep voice responded from inside. “Come in.”

I pushed the door

open and stopped.

He was surrounded by stacks of files. His black shirt sleeves were rolled up to his forearms, showing lean muscle. The gold-rimmed glasses on his nose softened his usual edge. He didn’t look sharp tonight. He looked worn out, yet, elegant-in a quiet, tired way.

He looked up. The moment he saw me, something behind his lenses softened. “You made it.”

I set the meeting notes on the edge of his desk and handed him a copy of the schedule. “Here’s the damage summary from all the branches. I marked which projects need immediate funding. The three envoy meetings are all moved to tomorrow morning, so they won’t clash with the mining talks.”

He flipped through a few pages. His finger stopped at the line labeled “Energy Support From Southern Pack.” I’d asked Casey to handle that. Now it sat quietly under the title “ally support.”

He didn’t ask. He didn’t need to. He just looked up and gave me the smallest smile. “You’ve been working

hard.”

I didn’t mention the tension in the office. I didn’t ask about the strike. I just smiled, nodded, and stepped

out.

The whole day ran by like a machine.

I had to calm the people who were quitting, organize the fuel deliveries, and go over the supply chain numbers. I didn’t have time to eat. I tore into a piece of bread between calls.

By the time I wrapped up the last file, the sky outside was black. Most of the lights in the office had gone out. Only the lamp on my desk was still on.

I rolled my shoulders and leaned forward. I just wanted a second to rest. I didn’t even notice when I fell asleep.

Samson’s POV:

By eleven, most of the Operations Department was gone. Only the top office still had its lights on.

I stepped out of my office and saw Amanda asleep at her desk. My steps slowed. I moved in quiet, trying not to wake her.

I walked over and stood above her. Her face was soft in her sleep. It melted my heart.

I’d spent so many years handling everything alone. I got used to going through every storm without backup. I’d forgotten what it felt like to have someone steady beside me.

But now, that warmth-this comfort-it was coming from Amanda.

A smile tugged at my lips. I tapped the desk with my knuckle. “Come on. Don’t sleep here. Go home and

rest.”

She stirred. Her eyes fluttered open. When she saw me, the sleep vanished instantly. She shot up. “Samson? What are you doing here?”

I pointed

Cup at the wall clock. “It’s late. Time to go.”

She glanced up. Eleven. She

Eleven. She shut her laptop fast. “Okay, I’m heading out!”

I smiled. “I’ll come with

you.”

She didn’t finish, but I didn’t need her to.
