Chapter 1768

Amber stared fixedly at Axel, having no choice but to force a polite smile under the glare of

countless surveillance cameras. But her stiff expression failed to convince both herself and Axel

Meanwhile, Jameson sat in the security room, watching Amber and Axel's every move. There were

high-end cameras and microphones installed in the room that could even pick up the sounds of

their breathing.

"I didn't expect to see you here, Ms. Altman." Axel cocked an eyebrow. "I've truly missed you since

we last met. I couldn't stop thinking about when we'd meet again. Who knew that would be

tonight?"

"I never expected to meet you here too, Mr. Whitaker.” Amber smiled stiffly.

Amber knew Axel only said those things because they were under surveillance. But her heart still

nervously trembled when Axel said he'd missed her.

Since both Amber and Axel were very experienced in such situations, Jameson didn't notice

anything off about them whatsoever.

"It seems like we are fated to meet.” Axel's eyes fondly narrowed as he made himself at home.

"Come on now. Have a seat.”

The instant Amber took a step, Axel patted his thigh. "Right here.”

Jameson suddenly leaned in close to the monitor, eyes glinting coldly.

Amber's heart skipped a beat. She scrunched her hands in the hem of her dress before slowly

walking toward Axel.

She cried out when Axel suddenly grabbed her arm, making her fall into his lap. Her chest pushed

right against his thigh.

Jameson's hands curled around the couch, leaving torn streaks in the material.

Axel's breaths came in harsh pants, but his gaze was still tender. "Are you scared?”

Amber's heart was pounding as she blushed. "Stop it, Mr. Whitaker."

There was a double meaning to her words.

How could Amber not be scared? She was trembling in Axel's grasp.

Axel snorted and leaned in close to her neck. "The smile you had on your face when you walked in

here was terrible."

Amber pursed her lips and said nothing.

Axel's arms were so tight around her that it felt like he might snap her in two. He lowered his gaze

slightly and saw how the soft dip of her breasts trembled beneath her dress.

What sane man wouldn't get riled up by such a sight?

Amber panicked immediately. Her instinctive reaction was to maintain distance between her and

Axel instead of seducing him. It wasn't because she was playing coy, but because she felt that Axel

was too good a man.

Every single time Amber was near him, her self-hatred and low self-esteem would overwhelm her. It

only made her feel all the more filthy and vile.

"This isn't a good spot. Too many eyes for me to do anything." Axel's lips accidentally came into

contact with Amber's reddened ear. "Come with me."

"To... Where?" Amber breathed out, her heart jolting in response.

"We'll find a place. Stay the night with me." Axel then lifted Amber in his arms and marched out of

the room.

Everyone looked on in astonishment as Axel and Amber walked out, not bothering to hide from any

of them.
