A message from an anonymous ID popped up on my screen while my fingers hovered over the tracking code page. “Don’t question my motives. If I really wanted to do something, your pack’s internal network would already be down.”
The confidence in that message hit me like a jab. I wasn’t expecting that.
Charles’s voice popped in my head slowly, “This person clearly held back. Otherwise, you wouldn’t even have caught her usual IP.”
I stared at the IP for a couple of seconds, hesitated, then typed, “Looking forward to working with you,” and sent all three Nightbloom Pack files.
After I finished checking the files, the sky outside was getting dark. I finally remembered Amanda in the lounge.
I pushed the door open and saw her at the desk. The laptop screen was on, playing a popular new TV series. The female lead was crying her eyes out.
“Let’s go. Time to eat,” I said flatly.
She scrambled to hit pause. “Finally done? I’m starving!”
“What do you want to eat?” I asked.
She tilted her head for two seconds, then her eyes suddenly lit up, like a kid who found candy. “Let’s go to that donut shop from last time! The chocolate lava ones!”
“Why don’t you try something new?” I joked.
She shook her head, hair swinging over her shoulders. “I’m used to it. I’ve loved this for years. Can’t change
now.”
The shop wasn’t far from the office. When we walked in, the warm caramel and chocolate smell hit us. The owner greeted us with a smile. “Same as usual? Double chocolate with cream?”
She nodded and pulled me to a seat by the window. She acted so naturally, like we’d done this a hundred times before.
When the donuts came, the chocolate was still warm and melting. She took a bite right away, getting a bit of dark chocolate on her lips, like a little wolf sneaking a snack.
I picked one up and took a bite. The perfectly sweet flavor burst in my mouth, tasting exactly like the one
she had fed me before.
Charles snorted. “You clearly love it too, but you’re pretending not to. You can barely keep a straight face.” I ignored him and just watched her grin while eating. My heart strangely softened. This was probably the

first time I felt that the sugary treats from a little shop were more comforting than fancy food.
Suddenly, a pink Ferrari stopped outside, the paint shimmering under the streetlights.

Michelle got out, wearing sunglasses. Her perfume was sickly sweet, and I could smell it even through the glass.
She took off her sunglasses, her gaze sweeping over us. When she saw me, her eyes lit up. But when they landed on Amanda, she frowned, like she’d seen something dirty.
She pushed the door and entered. Her voice deliberately softened, but her disgust was clear. “Samson, it really is you! Why are you eating this thing? Street food is so unsanitary. You might get an upset stomach!”
My hand holding the fork paused as I said calmly, “I think it’s great. Nothing unsanitary about it.”
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Amanda freeze, donut halfway to her mouth. She frowned, her smile vanished-obviously, Michelle had ruined her mood.
Charles’s voice turned cold. “She’s doing it on purpose, right? Didn’t you see Amanda’s face? Get her out of here, now.”
I looked at Amanda. “Done?”
She nodded, stuffing the last bite of the donut into her mouth, chewing slowly, as if forcing it down. After paying the bill, I ignored Michelle and headed straight for the door.
But she caught up to me and grabbed my sleeve.
