A Dangerous Deal with Mr. Blackwood
“Miss West, you will be in charge of the Black Diamond suite. Since Bethany is taking the Rose Gold suite, and it’s closest to yours, she will show you the way.”
She felt a jolt of uncertainty as she realized she didn’t even know who Bethany was, but her thoughts were interrupted as a girl approached her.
“Hi! I’m Bethany March, but everyone calls me Beth—well, except for Madame Rachel," she said, extending a friendly hand. The warmth in her smile brought a slight comfort to Ama.
Ama hesitated for a moment before accepting the handshake, her expression carefully neutral. “I’m Ama West, but I guess everyone just calls me Ama,” she replied, gently releasing Bethany's hands.
