Amber's reply didn't surprise me, but it did catch Dina off guard.
"What the fuck are you saying? I'm bitterly giving you a lifeline here!" Dina screamed.
Amber paid no attention to the lady, her gaze instead on me. She moved close to the dead man, but I waved her off.
"Your ass felt incredible. What do you say I fuck it some other time?" I leaned close to the woman.
"I don't think that's a good idea."
"Wrong answer. It's a good thing though the decision is not up to you."
"My lady," I offered my arm, but rather than take it, Amber's hand reached up for my shirt, fixing my collars.
"You should strive to look your best at all times."
"There." Amber took a step back.
"When you're not scheming and trying to claw your way to power, you're actually a sweet girl."
"Thank you."
"Now, before we leave, can you tell Dina why her threats are useless and why you picked to side with me?"
Nodding, Amber turned to Dina, her expression not haughty or mocking, just neutral.
