Theo leaned in, grinning like a puppy eager for praise. “Boss, don’t worry. The Midnight Pack’s little gear- making business will be ruined within three days. Guaranteed!”
He rubbed his hands together, then asked carefully, “So…
are you still mad?”
I glanced at him, expressionless, and gave a small nod. Honestly, watching his confident face did ease my anger a bit.
“Ha!” He laughed, eyes lighting up. “Then how about lunch? My treat. There’s a new restaurant nearby, and it’s supposed to be good.”
“Not today. I still have work to finish.” I pointed at the encrypted folder on my desk. “You go ahead.”
“Aw, come on, Boss.” He tugged on my sleeve like a kid. “How are you supposed to work on an empty stomach? You promised to let me treat you. Take advantage of me while you can.”
I sighed, giving his head a light smack. “Fine. I’ll make sure to eat well, then.”
After packing up my files, I followed Theo out of the classroom.
His bubblegum-pink Lamborghini was parked right in front of the school gate, shiny and impossible to miss. Heads turned as we walked by. I slid into the passenger seat, shaking my head. “You really can’t pick a more low-key car, can you?”
Two days later, I organized the translated documents into a binder and went to Baxter’s old brick mansion. I knocked and said, “Baxter, here’s what you asked for.”
He opened it, flipped through a few pages, and raised his brows. “Only two days? Amanda, you really are a language prodigy.”
“I rushed it because I didn’t want anything to go wrong,” I explained. Then I hesitated before admitting, “I need to apologize. Someone else saw the papers—just a student, probably didn’t understand a word—but still, I can’t be completely sure. You can deduct half of my payment as an apology.”
Baxter chuckled and set the folder down. “You’re being too formal. I trust you, Amanda. If you say the file’s secure, then it’s secure. We’ve known each other for years-don’t talk to me like I’m a client.”
Before I could argue, he picked up his phone. Within minutes, my phone buzzed with a transfer notification. One million crystal stones.
“I’ll take full responsibility if there’s ever a leak,” I said seriously.
He smiled. “That’s all I needed to hear.” As he walked me to the door, he added, “By the way, I heard the Midnight Pack went under. Rumor says it has something to do with one of your classmates. Be careful.”

I nodded, my face calm. The Yeomans got what they deserved.

After leaving his place, I stopped by the bank and transferred part of the money to a charity fund. I was about to head home when I spotted a familiar car parked across the street.
Inside, Samson was on the phone, his sharp profile catching the light.
I pretended not to see him and turned away, but his voice stopped me. “Amanda!”
I froze, sighed inwardly, and forced a smile as I turned around. “Wow, what a coincidence. What are you doing here?”
He said into the phone, “Then don’t bother coming over.”
