Axel not only held the belief that he could escape but also nursed a burning desire to seek retribution for Jonah.

He was determined to rid himself of that loathsbastard, Josh.

He couldn't wait any longer.

Axel kept his hands in the pockets of his black coat. He dashed toward the private room that Josh was in.

To his surprise, a pair of fair-skinned hands grabbed his arms and pulled him into the darkness.

Axel's eyes widened. The muscles in his arms tensed up. He was about to lash out when...

Axel looked into his ambusher's eyes. It was only then that he managed to get a good look at Amber's face.

The space between the storage racks was tight, compelling them to press their bodies against each other.

"ou." "Shh" Amber put her hand over his mouth in a panic. Her forehead was covered with sweat.

Right at that moment, a team of bodyguards happened to pass by just a few feet away from them.

Amber waited until they could no longer hear the bodyguards’ footsteps. Her wary heart finally calmed down, and she lowered her trembling hand.

"What a coincidence, Ms. Altman." Axel raised his brows and smiled casually. She could feel his warm breath on her nose. "I didn't expect to meet you in such a thrilling way this time. What a unique encounter." Amber gazed deeply at him. She was stunned.

Axel was extraordinary. No matter how dangerous the Elation, he was always able to be so calm and at ease.

How was he able to achieve this? "Do you enjoy playing hide-and-seek, Ms. Altman?" Axel extended his arms against the shelves, trapping her in front of him. His smile showed that he was relaxed. "I see that your nightlife as the owner of The Millennium is quite interesting." Amber's eyelashes fluttered as she realized her identity had been exposed. A sense of shand annoyance washed over her, yet beneath that, a spark of competitiveness ignited.

"Are you here to drink to your heart's content or to seek a happy time, Mr. Whitaker?" With her slender finger, she poked him in the chest. She scoffed, "But you should know that our services here are pricey. Did you bring enough cash with you, Mr. Whitaker?" "You know my last name? How brilliant." Axel squinted at her playfully.

Amber's heart raced as she retracted her finger.

Indeed, the more she said, the more she was revealing herself.

"Since you know my last nis Whitaker, do you know my name?" Suddenly, Axel grabbed her hand. The corners of his lips lifted into a cynical smile. "I am Scrooge Whitaker. My defining trait is that | am a miser." Amber was speechless.

"| cto your place tonight with the intention of not spending any money. May | do so, Ms. Altman?" Axel's voice carried an icy tone as he spoke, his features partially obscured by the shadows.

With years of experience as a secret agent under his belt, he had flirtatious banter like this at his disposal.

Despite that, it wasn't something that he enjoyed.

At this moment, he still had the patience to engage in this interaction with Amber. This was because he had kept Alyssa's mission for him in mind. Otherwise, he would've broken Amber's fingers the moment she reached out to poke him in the chest.

In the end, Amber gave up entertaining him. Her expression turned cold, and she lowered her voice to say, "Mr.

Whitaker, you are not one of our customers at The Millennium. Please leave this instant!" He smiled cheekily. "What if | refuse? You wouldn't chaseaway, would you? If you were going to do that, you wouldn't have helped to hideearlier. Am | right?" "What are you planning on doing? I'm being serious right now!" Amber noticed the ton the wall clock a distance away. It was nearing the twhen Jameson was due to be back. She becmore frantic. "This place isn't as simple as you think. Do you know what awaits you if you were to be discovered?" "I'll just apply for membership then. It's no big deal." "Axel!" Amber was so anxious that her eyes becred. She blurted his nand spoke her mind, "Are you that eager to die in his hands?"
