AMBER AMBERThe waiter served us delectable dishes. Sebastian ordered our dinner because I wasn't familiar with what to order, given that I rarely dine in such expensive restaurants.I indulged in the fare prepared by the staff. We had garlic shrimp salad, squash soup, plain rice, chicken parmigiana, lasagna, broccoli with mushrooms, and blueberry cheesecake for dessert. They also served a delicious pure pineapple juice that wasn't overly sour, with a delightful blend of tartness and sweetness."Did you enjoy the food?" the young man asked me as he wiped his lips with a napkin, removing excess oil.I patted my satisfied stomach. "Yes, the food here is exceptional. The flavors are authentic, and they don't skimp on ingredients. It's not surprising, considering how exorbitant everything is. But... no matter how delicious the food is here, let's not come back, alright?" I looked into his eyes.Confusion flickered in his gaze. "Huh? Why? I thought you liked the food?"I nodded. "I did li

AMBERI didn't know how to respond to Sebastian. His deep words seemed to carry meaning and depth.We were on our way back to my apartment, and silence hung between us. "What are your plans for the money we won in the poker game?" Sebastian suddenly changed the topic.I glanced at the road. "Just as you advised, I need to be smart about it. I should put it in savings and investments to make it grow. And the Davises won't even realize that I've surpassed them."He seemed surprised by my answer. "Wow. I didn't expect you to really do it. It seemed like you had doubts when we discussed this."I shrugged. "I thought about it, Sebastian. I don't need to feel guilty. These are not good people. In every game, there are winners and losers. They didn't feel guilty when they treated me badly. So, in our next encounter, I need to be ahead of them, and they shouldn't be able to mistreat me anymore.""That's right. I hope you'll always be like this, Amber. Always courageous," he said.I chuckled.

AMBERHow can I do this? How do you enter the world of Clarisse Valle? The daughter of a famous billionaire. The heiress of a large airline company. I don't know. I'm not rich. I don't have any property except for my inherent beauty crafted by the magic hands of Doctor Sebastian Wolfe.But an idea is running through my mind. I don't know if it's a good one, and I want to know his opinion."Didn't you tell me that you transferred all the properties and items you acquired when you won that poker game against Harper into my name?" I start. Sebastian nods but doesn't answer. "That's a lot of money. A tremendous amount. I want to build a good connection with the Valle family. I want to become a stockholder in their company. Is that possible?" I don't know much about business, so I'm not sure if it's feasible.The handsome doctor nods. "It's very possible. But it depends on your proposal, your business background, your influence, and what you can contribute to their company's growth.""Oh,

AMBERTwo weeks later,"The total assets we gained from our winnings in the poker game amount to approximately $440,000. But because you can't yet open a savings account in your new identity, it's temporarily placed in my account. Of course, you can withdraw it anytime. You can't disclose to the bank that you're Willow Davis. So, you really need to get a new identity. The question is, what would be a good surname?" Sebastian asked me one morning at the clinic.I waved my hand in the air. "Let's think about that later, Sebastian. It can wait. I trust you that the money is safe in your savings account. Honestly, I feel bad about this. It should be yours."He turned to me, exasperated. "You're being stubborn. How many times do I have to tell you that it's yours? I don't need it, Amber. You need it more."I nodded and smiled. "Thank you. I know that. But it's a significant amount. I can't believe that Harper and his friends could bet hundreds of thousands of dollars on just one poker game

AMBERI lost count of how many times I sighed today. How many times I swallowed my saliva. I don't know what I'm feeling. Nervousness? Excitement? Ah, I don't know anymore. All I know now is that my heart is beating so fast with overwhelming anticipation.I felt the handsome doctor squeeze my hand. "You're too obviously nervous, Amber. Relax. From the way you look, you seem like you're about to be taken to the slaughterhouse," he teased, but I couldn't find it amusing."Do you think this day will be successful?" Instead of laughing, I asked him.Sebastian rubbed his neck and took a deep breath. "I hate saying promises. I don't like making commitments because I'm afraid I won't be able to keep them," was his reply.I felt saddened. I couldn't explain the anxiety that was enveloping me. "I-Is that so?"But I was surprised when Sebastian's left hand caught both of mine and held them in his warm palms. He smiled at me with a comforting smile. "But don't worry. Even though I don't like mak

AMBERA woman called out Sebastian's name. The woman appeared to be around my age and clearly intelligent. "It must be their secretary," Sebastian whispered softly to me as he read the question that was playing on my mind.Sebastian cleared his throat before responding, "Good day. Yes, I'm Sebastian Wolfe, and this is my partner; you can just call her Amber."The secretary politely bowed to us. "Good day, Mr. Sebastian and Miss Amber. Mr. and Mrs. Valle are waiting inside the meeting room. I will guide both of you inside."Sebastian and I thanked her simultaneously. The woman opened the door, revealing a very spacious room. The air conditioning was set to a low temperature, adding to the chill I was feeling. The room had floor-to-ceiling glass walls, providing a clear view of the city.The carpet we were walking on didn't seem ordinary; it appeared quite expensive. The office was not cluttered with many items, giving it an illusion of space. The desk, chairs, indoor plants, and chande

AMBERI feel like I'm in a courtroom, about to be sentenced as a criminal to hang. I can't explain how I'm feeling, and it feels like my stomach is twisting with the tension I'm experiencing.Sebastian cleared his throat, removed the lump in his throat, and looked at me, as if reassuring me that everything will be fine. Will everything really be okay?"I'm Sebastian Wolfe. I'm in my late thirties. I'm a cosmetic surgeon. I know you might be raising your eyebrows and have many questions running through your minds. I own my own clinic, and I can say I'm well-known in the cosmetic field. I've changed many people's lives, making them more beautiful using my magical hands. Celebrities, actors, actresses, whether local or international. Since I was young, I've been interested in giving confidence to others," the handsome doctor began.I was just listening and fiddling with my nails in my palm. This is how I get when I'm nervous.The Valle couple examined the portfolio that Sebastian had giv

AMBERI felt like there was something stuck in my throat. I couldn't breathe. At this moment, I almost wished for a miracle. I wished I had the power of telepathy so that Sebastian and I could still communicate through thoughts. I was reborn, right? So, it's not an impossible wish.But I knew there was no miracle this time. I had no other choice but to do my best. Sebastian wasn't avoiding my gaze. He was looking at me and giving me a sweet smile. A smile that touched my soul and heart. A smile that reassured me that everything would be fine.I glanced at the Valle couple. I was annoyed. I didn't understand why I had to be the one to present to them. Did they think I was clueless? Stupid? Did I look stupid in their eyes?I sighed. "Well... Are you going to present, Miss Amber, or not?" Mrs. Valle raised an eyebrow as she asked me.I didn't want to present. I had no idea about business. I wasn't a businessman. But how could I achieve the revenge I longed for if I couldn't even handle s

AMBERI saw Mrs. Valle raise her eyebrow at me. "Alright, I understand that Mr. Sebastian Wolfe is more than capable, not just as a doctor but also as a businessman. Now, prove to me that you two are worthy business partners. I mean... I don't want to sound arrogant, Miss Amber, but I've lost count of how many businessmen have tried to become our partners. But my husband and I are both selective," Mrs. Valle challenged with her gaze fixed on me.I pressed the slide, and it focused on our first presentation, which Sebastian had prepared. Luckily, I reviewed it before coming here."Our goal with this partnership is to provide Valle Airlines with a larger budget to enhance the company's services," were the first words that came out of my mouth.Mr. Valle placed his hand on the mahogany table. "Are you implying that our services are not good, and that's why we need this partnership?"I shook my head. "Of course not, Mr. Valle. Please don't get me wrong. Whether we're here or not, I know t

Chapter 70
AMBERMrs. Valle scrutinized me from head to toe. The look she was giving me was reminiscent of the antagonistic female characters in television dramas. Based on her expression, she wasn't convinced. It seemed she still had doubts. I was getting nervous."Your questions are quite rapid, Miss Amber. Let's move on to the capital topic. How much can you and Doctor Sebastian offer to improve Valle Airlines' services? How much are you willing to invest in the company?" She raised an eyebrow as she asked.I glanced at Sebastian, who was now looking cool and composed, just casually listening. If we weren't in the meeting room, I would have thought that the handsome doctor was simply killing time. He shrugged, indicating that he was letting me decide what I wanted to happen in this meeting.I wasn't sure, but Sebastian had informed me that he was willing to use his $50 million for this partnership, and it would run for two years.I took a deep breath. Ah, here goes nothing. It seemed that Seb
