Axel began, "I came to see you because I was worried something might happen to you."

"What could possibly happen to me? I'll be fine, so don't do this again." Amber didn't dare look up to meet Axel's eyes. She was trembling slightly as goosebumps erupted on her skin. "Please seek out trouble elsewhere from now on, Mr. Whitaker. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"I hope I never see you at The Millenium again. Or should I say... I hope to never see you again after tonight."

Axel's eyes darkened. "You can't really stop me."

Amber gnawed on her lip. She knew Axel was intelligent enough to understand her implied meaning. Why was he still so stubborn then?

These Taylors were too troublesome!

Axel slowly observed Amber's expression with unreadable eyes. Though Amber was known to be deadly and beautiful, she was still behaving like a delicate, pitiful little bunny before him. Even though she looked very similar to Alyssa, Axel still saw a different, startling beauty from her every time they met.

No wonder Jameson would spend so much time cultivating Amber. She really was quite gorgeous to the extent that no man would be able to hold their own before her.

It was a shame that Amber's skills failed when it came to Axel. After all, Axel basically flirted and manipulated for a living.

"Josh was only arrested so successfully tonight because of the clues you gave us."

Axel composed himself again and said nonchalantly, "I wonder if Jameson might soon trace this back to you once his brother falls and wipes you out of the picture. "After all, Jameson did originally plan to use this as leverage against Josh. Now his plan has gone bust... Hahaha! He must be so fucking pissed right now, huh?" Amber stayed silent. The intimate atmosphere had been ruined by Axel's humor.

"Mr. Jameson still has use for me. He won't try and do anything too serious to me unless he's found credible evidence." Amber then smiled, heart aching deeply.

"Even if he did have evidence, he wouldn't do anything to me either. I'm sure anyone would have a fondness for their pet after keeping it around for so long, what more another human being? Not to mention someone who resembles Ms. Alyssa Taylor.

"So don't worry needlessly for me. What happened last time will never happen again. Let's never see one another anymore either. You won't gain anything from me. Our cooperation comes to an end here." Amber sounded like she was trying to break up with Axel. She was trying so hard to convince Axel to give up. Yet Axel's chest tensed uncomfortably when she said that their collaboration was to come to an end there.

It wasn't just because Axel still remembered the task Alyssa entrusted him. Rather, he felt slightly upset.

Amber might have been the one who initiated this game, but Axel had to be the one to call it quits!

Amber felt a weight on her shoulders before Axel turned her around, forcing their eyes to meet.

Axel's arms caged her in against the sink as he gazed deeply at her, making her heart waver so terribly. He clasped Amber's chin in a tender gesture, their breaths mingling in the air. Amber's eyes began growing hazy while Axel's grew heavy with desire.

"If you had a chance to permanently be free of Jameson Schmidt's control and turn over a new leaf, would you?" Axel asked silently.

Amber's heart pounded in her chest. Several seconds later, she smiled and hooked a finger in Axel's collar. "No. If I have to rot in hell, I'd rather do it while staying by Jameson's side."
