    Silence fell in the room as a sultry woman barged into Max's office. She was hot, sexy and had a perfect body. This made Amber feel lacking. She didn't have any of those, well except for an hourglass body. The rest didn't do so well. But when the woman called Max 'baby', her heart hurled into different levels of pain. What is the meaning of this? Does this mean Max cheated on her? She bit her lip. Trying not to comment anything and to remain silent. She hoped that Max would try to clear up things and reassure her, but her hopes failed when Max stood up and kissed the woman's cheek. He touched her as if she wasn't in the room at all. Amber couldn't handle her emotions anymore and hurriedly stood up from her seat.This scene reminded her of Gavin and Stephanie again!"I-I should go." she whispered and walked out of the office without turning back.

Amber placed it inside a lunch bag and made sure everything was complete. "Be careful of the road!" Linda shouted. Amber waved the housekeeper a good bye and took a cab towards Max's company.

All employees were attracted by her as she entered the company's lobby area. She walked around not aware of the stares she received. "Uhm...I'm here for Max Easton?" she asked the receptionist.
