Can’t Win Me Back

Axel smirked. “I merely mentioned Josh’s name, and you’ve already deduced that I’m here for revenge. Not only did you ascertain my intention to avenge someone, but you also discerned that it’s Jonah I’m seeking vengeance for.”

Amber felt a rush of heat to her cheeks. She might be cunning in other respects, but in the presence of Axel, her mind seemed to go blank. It was as if she was walking straight into a trap.

“I am Mr. Jameson’s employee. Regarding the matters involving the Schmidt Group, I—”

Suddenly, Amber found herself silenced. This time, Axel was the one to cover her mouth. Simultaneously, they heard the footsteps of two black-clad bodyguards drawing near.

“Hm? I thought I heard someone talking.”

The footsteps stopped next to the storage shelves.

Miraculously, Amber felt her entire body relax at that moment. Her eyes fluttered close. It was as if she was the infiltrator who was being cornered.
