Alexander slipped away unnoticed, and Amber’s old classmates were too wrapped up in their revelry to
care. They were toasting and laughing, lost in the joy of the reunion. Gael, in particular, was laying it on
thick with Amber, egging her on to drink.
“I’ve had enough.” Amber protested.
The clock was inching toward eight, and the party was winding down. Amber’s cheeks were flushed
with a rosy glow from the wine as she gently refused Gael. “Alex is waiting for me downstairs. It’s about
time we all
called it a night.”
With that, she made to leave.
“Come on, we don’t see each other that often. What’s the rush?” Gael protested.
He darted from the table and blocked Amber’s path, his eyes smoldering as he swept over her. “Amber,
the
night’s not over. I’ve got us a spot at Rectewald Mall for some karaoke. I snagged a VIP room-the

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtsystem’s top-notch!”
“Rectewald Mall?”
The classmates’ ears perked up, and they swarmed closer, buzzing with excitement. “For real, Gael?
You got
us a private room at Rectewald Mall?”
Gael’s laugh was smug as he soaked in their amazement.

company public, catapulting it to worth in the 1.5 billion. Thanks to that, Gael had just barely managed
to rub
elbows with the city’s business elite.
Tonight’s karaoke setup was all thanks to his father-in-law’s influence.
“Rectewald Mall was Mister Hardy’s pride and joy.”
Gael flashed a triumphant thumbs-up, his grin wide with pride. “For our class reunion, I pulled some
strings with the manager on duty. We’ve got the biggest VIP room waiting for us!”
Turning to Amber, he puffed his chest confidently. “And Amber, I’m not just blowing smoke. If the
Chesire family ever wants to branch out to Province Town, one call from me, and Rectewald Mall will
back you up all
the way!”
Amber paused, her mind racing. New Chesire Group’s roadmap had them expanding from
Woolpackton to the entire province, and eventually nationwide. A partnership with Rectewald Mall
could be a game-changer.
“I knew you’d see it my way!”
Gael’s eyes lingered on Amber’s face for a moment longer than necessary, then he turned to the rest of
the group, his excitement palpable. “Alright, everyone, let’s move out to Rectewald Mall!”

“Let’s not just sit around-time for some music!”

Alexander and Amber, a smirk hidden in his gaze.
He had not planned on Alexander joining them, but Amber hopped into the Porsche waiting outside the
hotel. clearly not keen on leaving Alexander behind.
At Rectewald Mall, Alexander naturally found his seat next to Amber.
‘So, you think I’m out of options with your hubby here? We’ll see about that.” Gael chuckled darkly to
himself. then rose and approached Amber with a gesture of invitation. “Amber, it’s pretty loud here.
Your Chesire family’s looking to branch out to Province Town, right? Let’s step outside for a chat.”
Amber paused, then turned to Alexander. “Should I go and have a word with Gael?” she whispered.
Alexander gave Gael a brief, indifferent look, then turned back to Amber. “Sure, go ahead,” he replied
gently. Just be careful, and if anything comes up, just call.”
With a soft acknowledgment, Amber stood and made her way out of the room.
