Chapter 73
Amber’s POV
Through the crack in the door, I saw Olivia sitting behind her desk, looking critically at the man standing in front of her. His back was to me, and I didn’t recognize him, especially in his hat and coat.
I truly didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but that sounded like a threat. Or like blackmail. Though I didn’t have any love for her, if Olivia was in some kind of trouble, I still wanted to help her.

“I’ll be there in ten,” she replied, but she didn’t hang up yet. “Are you going to tell Roman p>
Roman had apparently come by one night when I had been drinking in excess. I barely remembered see him, and I had zero recollection of what was actually said between us.
Since then, he had reached out a few times, but each time I ignored him. I didn’t know what possessed me to speak with him while I was drunk, but as a sober person, I was still infuriated with him for releasing a statement to the press that we were engaged despite my having turned him down.
