Amanda’s POV:

After leaving the Skyspire Tower, I didn’t go straight back to Ortega Castle. Instead, I wandered aimlessly along the sidewalk by myself.

My mind was a mess, filled with the memory of running into Seven and the look on Wisteria’s glamorous face. I walked with my head down, my steps slow, not paying attention to anything around me.

It wasn’t until a car horn blared nearby, loud and urgent, that I snapped back to reality. I looked up and saw a familiar black car stopped right in front of me-Samson’s car.

The door opened, and Samson stepped out, walking straight toward me.

His brow was slightly furrowed. His tone was as calm as always, but somehow I could sense a hint of concern. “What were you thinking about You know it’s dangerous to space out while walking in the street?”

I forced a small smile. “I was just lost in thought and not paying attention. What are you doing here?”

Samson didn’t answer my question right away. Instead, he asked, “You’re not at the training camp. Why did you come all the way out here?”

I shook my head, not wanting to explain.

Even I could tell I wasn’t quite myself today-the heaviness just wouldn’t go away.

“Bad mood?” Samson raised an eyebrow, watching my face, like he was trying to read my feelings.

I could tell he was thinking about how to comfort me, but the awkward energy around him made it obvious he wasn’t used to cheering up girls.

Before I could respond, he rattled off several suggestions in a single breath. “Do you want to go shopping? Grab something good to eat? Or maybe take a drive outside the city?”

The way he listed all those options so seriously actually took me by surprise,

My bad mood seemed to soften a little thanks to his awkward attempt at caring, and I started to relax. I nodded. “Okay, let’s go walk around.”

I wasn’t sure why I didn’t turn him down. Maybe I really did need a distraction right now.

Samson glanced around and his eyes brightened a little. “Come on, I’ll take you somewhere.”

in the car with him, staring absently out the window as the city rushed by.

At some point, I saw him pull out his phone and send a message. I figured it was work-related and didn’t ask.

Soon, we pulled up to a department store.

I stepped out and stopped in shock-the entrance, which should have been crowded, was completely empty. Only rows of employees in matching uniforms stood at attention, bowing respectfully when they saw us. “Mr. Ortega, Ms. Lamb!”

It hit me then that his message earlier had been to clear out the whole mall.

I glanced over at Samson, but he looked completely unfazed, like this was nothing special.

As soon as we walked in, a sales associate greeted us, polite and enthusiastic. “Ms. Lamb, is there anything you’d like to look at? We just got in the newest lines-clothes, jewelry, beauty, skincare-whatever you want.”

I’d only wanted to wander and clear my head. I hadn’t expected him to go to all this trouble, so I felt a little awkward. “It’s fine, I’ll just browse for a bit.”

“Ms. Lamb, we just got a few limited-edition bags that would be perfect for you. Would you like to see them?” the associate kept recommending.

Before I could answer, Samson leaned down and spoke softly by my ear, “Just get whatever you like. Don’t worry about anything, it all goes on my tab.”

He probably thought I was too shy to choose, so he wanted to reassure me.

“I’ll just look by myself. You don’t need to follow me,” I told the sales associate.

She looked to Samson, and he waved her away, signaling her to step back.

Once she was gone, Samson quietly stayed by my side as I browsed.

It was my first time shopping in an empty mall-no crowds, no noise, just a quiet space that finally let me relax.

At first, I wasn’t interested in buying anything, but as I walked around, I found more and more things I liked. I decided to just go for it and tossed everything I wanted into the shopping bag.

When I was done and ready to pay, Samson beat me to it and told the associate, “Put it on my
