"After this plate, I should go try to make some new friends," I told myself while picking up a new dish, but then someone knocked at my door.
"Marcus, what is the meaning of this?"
"I am a very important man, Amber. Now that my identity has been revealed, I have to prioritise my security. I can't have anyone just getting access to me—my enemies might use this as a chance to end me."
"Tell them to let me in. I want to introduce you to someone."
With me facing away as I picked from the table, I waved my hand for Amber and her patron to be let in, and when they got to me, I looked to the left, physically scanning their profiles.
Amber was still Amber, her bold red combination making her look like a hot flame. And then there was the woman beside her—her image inciting lust in me.
