Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim by Dream Fish

Chapter 300

"Elena, I'm scared. What if things don't go as we planned? I'm really afraid..."

The moment Amber got into the car, her fear immediately showed on her face. Her shoulders shook, and her face was ghostly pale as if she was tormented by inner demons.

"What are you afraid of? What's done is done, and what was meant to happen has happened. If you like him, then just pursue him," Elena said coldly as she drove, her tone hinting at impatience.

If only Elena had known Amber was so timid, she'd never have chosen the latter.

Amber's face fell. "B-but..."

"No buts." Elena suppressed her growing frustration before continuing slowly, "Amber, your performance over these next two days will determine whether she can secure her position. You got that?"

The color drained from Amber's face completely. She understood exactly what Elena meant.
