Amber's POV

The past few days have been...hard but I tried to push all the past incidents at the back of my mind and be as normal as I could be. Damien did not interfere in my work or overstepped his boundaries and I was thankful for that.

However, there was something different about him that I could not point my finger on.

He had stayed at home today working from his home office. Although I did not see much of him but a few times, we saw each other, he acted weird.

He would call me for some work but then kept staring at me for a few moments with a brig creepy grin on his face. Whenever, I cleared my throat to get his attention, he snapped out of it and then would ask me to leave.

'Never mind, I will manage' would be his exact words, to be specific.

Once was uncomfortable, twice was weird and three times was plain creepy.

"Um...Damien are you..um..okay?" I asked nervously before going out after it happened the third time.

"Yeah. Yeah. I am fine. Absolutely" he said shifting uncomfortably.

"Doesn't look like to me" I mumbled to myself and walked out.

After that he did not ask for me and I could not be more grateful. After finishing everything in the kitchen, I set to cleaning after getting all the dirty laundry for washing.

Just as I finished, Damien called me and I groaned loudly. I would seriously slap him if he repeated the morning incidents. Scowling, I entered his office.

"Amber could you pick up my suit from the dry cleaners? I need it for a meeting tonight" And before he could say anything else, I literally fled from his office.

It was around two in the afternoon but the weather was pleasant. So I decided on a walk to the dry cleaners which was about a 20 minutes walk from the mansion.

On my way, I spotted someone familiar in the park sitting with her back to me. It could have been someone else but from the wavy black hair and her built, I knew it was Vanessa. She was alone and seemed to be waiting for someone.

I looked at my watch and decided that I still have sometime before I was expected back.

So I made my way over to Vaneesa who was impatiently tapping her foot.

"Hey"

She looked startled but then composed herself quickly.

"Hi...hiii" she squeaked

"Are you alright. What are you doing here?"

"Yeah. Yes, I am fine. I was just startled. And I am umm...just waiting for a friend..yeah, a friend"

Definitely not a friend! I smiled.

"O..okay" I said suspiciously.

"How are you. It's been quite sometime after we last talked"

"I am fine" I smiled genuinely thinking back to the advice she had given me. We made a small talk for a few minutes.

"So what are you doing here?" she asked
