He wasn’t moved emotionally.
The woman in his arms looked exactly like Alyssa. So it felt like he was caressing his sister. He didn’t know what to do as his “sister” seduced him.
“Hmm… I-I’m about to puke.” Amber’s eyes welled up in tears. Her body went limp.
She drank a lot and had too much to dance. Her stomach was churning madly. It was unbearable.”
Handsome, c-c-can you bring somewhere to puke? I can’t hold it in anymore.”
If it were another woman, Axel would have darted to the other side of the room-the further, the better.
He wouldn’t want to get puked on.
However, he couldn’t say no to that face of hers. He held Amber’s soft waist up with one hand. He carried her with his arm effortlessly and walked toward the restroom in large strides.
Everyone on the dance floor was dumbfounded.
*Shit! That handsome man is so strong! I wish I could feel how it’s like to have him carry me.”
“I couldn’t believe such manliness exists!”
“But, don’t you think the woman he carried away looks like someone? She looks like someone who was the talk of the town online a few times. Who was it again? Ahh, doesn’t she look like Alyssa Taylor?”
“It can’t be Alyssa Taylor! When she came in earlier, I realized that was Alyssa’s face!”
‘Please, why would Ms. Taylor come to such a place? Plus, you would have seen a group of bodyguards around her. Her dad is Winston Taylor, for crying out loud! That woman probably loved Alyssa’s face so much that she used her as a reference for plastic surgery.”
Axel couldn’t enter the ladies’ restroom, so he brought Amber to the men’s restroom.
Regrettably, two elderly men occupied the restroom. A cold glint flashed in their eyes as they observed a formidable-looking man entering with a woman in his arms. The sight left them so shocked that they hesitated to proceed with their business.
“Are you done peeing? If you are, get lost,” Axel said as he kicked the door open.
Both men quickly pulled their pants up and scurried away. They forgot to close the door as they exited:
Amber held the sink with both her hands and started puking violently into it.
Axel leaned against the wall and placed a cigarette in his mouth. He glanced at her from the side of his vision from time to time.
The more time he spent with her, the less she resembled his sister in his eyes.
Her sister, Alyssa, was a goddess. She was beautiful beyond measure. No other woman was as beautiful as her.
Amber concluded her bout of vomiting, splashed water on her face, and rinsed her mouth. As she stared at her lifeless reflection in the mirror, she noticed her face had lost its color due to the heavy drinking.
The face she saw bore a striking resemblance to Alyssa’s. It was Jameson who had meticulously chosen this appearance for her.
A sharp pain pierced her heart, prompting her to gently rub her chest. She chuckled wryly, biting her lip in self-mockery.
“Are you done? Do you feel any better?”
Amber widened her eyes in shock and let out a scream. It was only then that she became aware of someone standing beside her.
“What? I brought you here.”
Axel crossed his arms in front of his chest, teasingly gazing at her. “You sweet-talked me to bring you to the restroom to puke and even called me handsome. Now, you’re acting like you don’t know me at all. I think you were using me, miss.”
“W-When did I ask you to bring me here? This is the women’s restroom. You should leave.” Amber was still staggering, but she was vigilant.
She was more sober now and could think clearer. Then, she finally saw Axel’s sturdy body, his handsome looks, and dashing features.
He quirked his trimmed eyebrow. The look in his eyes was teasing yet nonchalant. It was laid-back yet spontaneous, as calm as the cea
Amber’s face suddenly warmed up. Her heart was beating faster.
Amber was in utter disbelief. She never expected to feel such emotions for any man other than Jameson.
“The ladies’ restroom? Look at this urinal. Do you think this is the ladies’ restroom?”
Axel smiled. “I think you’re the one that needs to leave, miss.”
Amber’s face turned even redder. She lowered her head and thought of a quick escape plan. Axel, out of her expectation, grabbed her wrist and pulled her back hard.
Once again, Amber slammed into the man’s sturdy chest hard. Her scalp tingled from the collision. Her heart was racing.
Axel looked at her, a deep glint in his eyes. His lip curled slightly. It was teasingly charming. “How can you leave? You didn’t even thank me yet.”
“T-Thank you.” Amber’s eyes flickered. Her breathing was growing erratic.
“Has anyone told you that you looked like someone?” Axel’s warm breath landed on the reddened tip of her nose. His indifferent gaze became somewhat gentler.
Amber’s heart tightened. She tried her best to escape, but Axel held her tightly, so she couldn’t.
“No. I don’t look lik
“No, I don’t look like anyone. I’m just me.”
She was unsure why she felt timid and insecure. She felt like she was a terrible replica. Only Jameson liked this face. Everyone else in this world liked the actual owner of this face-Alyssa Taylor.
“Then, tell me. Who are you?”
Axel’s eyes searched her eyes. “What is your name?”
“Am-
Her phone rang before she could finish her reply.
She hastily took her phone out and noticed her boss calling. Her face lost its color from the fear.
Axel’s brow twitched. The curiosity that had been growing in his heart went away instantly.
Amber dared not walk through the front door with her head held high. She scurried away in a hurry through the back door.
A bright and piercing red light landed on her face when she walked out. She used her arm to block the piercing light. She couldn’t open her eyes.
At that moment, a bodyguard walked toward her.
“Ms. Altman, the boss is waiting for you. Please hurry.”
“Okay.”
Amber was completely sober at this point. She walked toward the luxurious black car with heavy steps.
Her face was riddled with worry.
The man she had thought about day and night was in the car.
Despite being so close to the man of her dreams, her heart was filled with fear.
Amber opened the car door and cautiously entered.
The car door closed, and Jameson’s voice echoed in the darkness, clear but tinged with a palpable anger.
“What have I told you? You are not supposed to come back to Solana City without my instructions. Have you forgotten everything so quickly?”
“S-Sorry, Mr. Schmidt. H… Hmm!”
The next second, everything turned pitch black for Amber. An unbearable pain throbbed in her neck, and she found herself unable to breathe.
A cold glint reflected on Jameson’s gold-rimmed glasses. He turned around, strangled Amber’s neck, and held her down in the car seat.
“Sorry? Is that it? Do you know how much trouble you have caused me with your recklessness?”
“Sorry.” Amber’s face turned red, and her consciousness blurred.
