It was business as usual for Amber at The Millennium. Not only that, she worked harder than before to gain Jameson's favor.

At the stime, she had not given up on gathering criminal evidence against Jameson. The road might be difficult, and she might even risk

everything in the process, but she was determined to see it through.

It was the day of the month when Amber volunteered at the orphanage. She woke up early in the morning, put on her volunteer uniform, and brought

the gifts for the kids before driving out in haste.

"Ms. Altman, you're here early!"

"Good morning, Ms. Altman!"

"How have you been, Ms. Altman?"

The teachers and volunteers went up to greet her. She was popular among the people at the orphanage.

She greeted everyone and distributed her handmade snacks.

"Wow! Ms. Altman, you're back with your apple pies! We love it!" Syounger volunteers could not help but take a bite of the pies in front of her.

They beamed in satisfaction. "Ms. Altman, too bad you're only here once a month. If only you could cby every day! We'll be so lucky to eat your

food!"

Amber gently smiled at the remarks, but bitterness washed over her. If she could, she would have dropped by daily. Besides, there would ca

twhen she had to bid goodbye to them. She had no idea when her tumultuous life would cto an end.

At least, those at the orphanage wouldn't be too attached to her if she only visited them monthly, and they would grieve less when she stopped

showing up.

"Ms. Altman, it's about time. The kids are waiting for you," a volunteer teacher cup to inform Amber.

"Alright. I'll be right there."

The classroom that Amber taught was quieter than the others. She meticulously left her neat handwriting on the blackboard. She was as lovely as her

handwriting.

The kids focused on writing. The sounds of their pencils scribbling on paper had a calming effect.

At that moment, a tall figure quietly appeared at the back of the classroom.

Axel leaned against the doorfrand squinted at Amber. His silhouette was clean and smart, like the smooth lines of a classical painting.

Amber turned to the students, gesturing something in the air. It turned out that she was communicating with them in sign language.

Axel's eyes wavered, and his heart raced when he learned that the children in Amber's class were deaf-mutes.

The children responded in sign language, communicating seamlessly with Amber.

He couldn't shift his eyes from Amber, who was dressed in a simple uniform and wore her hair in a ponytail. She looked special that day without her

usual exquisite makeup and flaming red lips. Her bare face exuded a natural beauty.

Her resemblance to Alyssa had lessened without makeup.

Amber was too focused on teaching to notice Axel outside the classroom. Another teacher hurried over with a look of surprise while gasping, "Huh?

Sir, how did you get in?"

"Huh?" Axel blinked at Gillian Reimer. "I... walked in."

"Who are you looking for? We do not allow strangers in the compound. Please leave!"

The loud conversation ultimately attracted Amber's attention. She rushed out of the classroom when she recognized the familiar figure that made her

heart throb.

"Ms. Reimer! H-He's a friend of mine!"

Axel, hands in his pockets, turned around to find Amber gently panting with flushed cheeks, exuding a youthful air like a teenage girl. The affection in

his eyes deepened.

"Oh, is he your friend, Ms. Altman? Hahaha! Alright then. Have fun!" Gillian left them alone with the intrigued smile of a woman with good gossip to

share.

Amber and Axel stared at each other in the quiet corridor under the warm sunlight. She watched as he walked over to her. The fragments of sunlight

illuminated his face, and a gentle breeze caressed his bangs. She found herself too shy to look at his brilliant presence.

Finally, he stood right in front of her. With an alluring grin, he said, "Ms. Altman, thanks for helpingout.”

"W-Why are you here?" She rested both hands against the wall as her heart thumped wildly. She tried to get her heartbeat under control as though

fearing he might hear it.

"Guess." He trapped her between him and the wall and closed in. She was instantly overwhelmed by his heavy, passionate breaths.

"Stop fooling around. | need to teach the kids. Let go of me." She quivered and blushed under his intense gaze, which made her heart flutter.

Arching a brow, he grinned and whispered into her reddened ear, "Givea kiss, then. Kiss me, and I'll release you."
