Chapter 268 I’ll Give It a Try

Amanda’s POV:

Alan’s voice still echoed in my ear, his refusal making the last bit of hope in my heart. disappear.

“Alright then, I’ll figure something else out.” I tried to keep the disappointment out of my voice, said that, and hung up.

Theo immediately leaned over, looking anxious. “Well? Boss, did he say yes?”

I shook my head, my tone a little helpless. “He’s busy tonight, so it probably won’t work.”

Theo just said “Oh,” not thinking much of it. He suggested, “Then just ask someone else! I really think Samson is a better fit anyway, Boss, why don’t you try him?”

Samson?

My heart skipped a beat, and I wanted to turn him down right away. But thinking it through, I realized there really wasn’t anyone better to ask right now.

I hesitated for a long time, then finally let out a sigh. “Alright, I’ll give it a try.”

So Theo drove straight to the Eclipse Pack’s Operations Department.

When we arrived, I got out and looked up at the towering building in front of me, feeling

even more nervous.

Inside the lobby, the spotless marble floor reflected my slender figure.

It wasn’t my first time here, and most of the staff knew me. Everyone greeted me respectfully as I walked by. “Ms. Lamb!”

A receptionist came over quickly, smiling. “Ms. lamb, is there something I can help you with today?”

I paused for a second, then carefully said, “Is Samson in the office? I need to talk to him.”

She nodded at once. “Mr. Ortega is in his office. ll contact Mr. Erickson right now and have him come get you.”

It wasn’t even two minutes before Cody came rushing out of the elevator. As soon as he saw me, he hurried over.

“Ms. Lamb, what brings you here? You didn’t even call ahead. Mr. Samson is in the middle of

a video conference-he’ll need a bit more time before he’s done.”

“That’s alright, I’ll wait,” I said.

Cody led me to the elevator, chatting as we walked. “Ms. Lamb, you can wait in the lounge upstairs for a bit. As soon as Mr. Ortega’s meeting wraps up, I’ll let you know.”

“Thank you,” I said.

Cody showed me into the lounge, then left and gently closed the door behind him.

The room was quiet, decorated in a simple but stylish way, but I couldn’t sit still at all.

I had come here so suddenly-what if Samson said no on the spot?

After all, asking him to pretend to be my boyfriend was awkward and honestly kind of ridiculous. No matter who you asked, it’d be hard to get a yes.

Trying to calm down, I pulled a magazine from the bookshelf and flipped through it, but I couldn’t focus on a single page. My eyes wandered, my mind going in circles about how to bring this up with Samson.

I didn’t know how much time had passed before the lounge door opened softly.

I looked up on reflex and saw Samson stride in.

He wore a perfectly tailored black suit, stood tall and straight, and still had a bit of that serious, businesslike look from his meeting.

The moment he saw me, there was a flicker of something in his eyes, but he quickly hid it. He walked over, keeping a calm front, and asked “You wanted to see me? What’s going on?”

Hearing his voice, I gripped the magazine tight, my heart suddenly racing.

I jumped up, a little flustered. “Did you finish your meeting?”

Samson glanced at the magazine in my hands, his eyes moving slightly. He said in an even tone, “You’re holding the magazine upside down”

My face went hot as I looked down and realized he was right. The words on the page were all upside down.

I quickly put the magazine back, clutched at my sleeve to hide my embarrassment, and tried to sound casual. “Are you busy? Do you… Do you have more work to do today?”

Samson watched me for a few seconds, like he could tell I was off.
