Amber’s POV.

I adjusted the folds of my dress, smoothing out the fabric with nervous fingers. Walking into the restaurant, I reminded myself of the purpose of this meeting to connect with Colonel Timothy

Miller, the man behind the 401 project.

He held the key to helping me take the project for myself, and he was my first step in turning everything Kayden and his family had ever worked for into dust.

It seemed surreal to imagine myself interacting with politicians and people connected to politics, but Richard had emphasized the importance of forging such alliances for my growth and success.

As I entered the restaurant, I quickly realized that my destination was beyond the general seating area. With a sigh, I bypassed the familiar hustle and bustle of the crowded dining area and made my way to the elevator. It was my ticket to the secluded rooftop space reserved for VVIPs.

Pressing the button for the rooftop level, I stood still as the elevator glided upward. My heart pounded in my chest, a rush of anxiety and excitement coursing through my veins. Richard had made sure I was well–prepared for this encounter, reminding me that certain privileges needed to be embraced to command respect and assert my presence in a place like this.

In the dimly lit space, a male waiter approached me, his demeanor professional and attentive. He inquired if I had a table reserved, his eyes scanning me from head to toe. Suppressing my nerves, I uttered my purpose with a calm and confident tone.

“I’m here to meet someone,” I replied, my voice steady. “Colonel Timothy Miller.”

The waiter’s eyes widened slightly, a flicker of recognition crossing his face. “Ah, Colonel Miller,” he acknowledged. “Please, follow me.”
