“Would you like something to drink?” Richard asked, waiting for Amber’s response as he watched her settle on the sofa in the living room. 

He could tell that she was restless, but he didn’t know if it was because she was at his place for the first time or if there was some other reason why she seemed so uncomfortable. 

“Would you give me alcohol if I asked you to?” Amber replied, suddenly feeling like she needed alcohol to get herself together. 

When she first entered Richard’s living room, the first thing she felt was the feeling of being dirt poor. Just entering the place alone made her realize that she was about to marry someone whose wealth she might never be able to comprehend. 

She had wanted to ask him questions on how rich he was and how he was so far above Kayden despite the fact that their companies were n*eck and n*eck, according to her research. But when she thought about it for a second time, she realized how stupid her question would sound. 

“What makes you think that I wouldn’t?” Richard asked, his voice snapping her out of her thoughts. 

“I don’t know. You might not want to give alcohol to someone who you witnessed break down, just in case I end up getting drunk and start to misbehave,” she replied, wanting to hear how he’d respond to 

the possibility of her being drunk. 

“Now that you mentioned you, I believe drinking habits should also be a part of the rules because if 

there is one thing I can’t stand, it’s a bad drunk,” he responded. 

I scoffed, not exactly impressed with his response. “Oh, please, Richard, are you trying to tell me 

that you’ve never experienced being so drunk, to the point where you act completely out of character and misbehave in a way you later regret?” she asked, not wanting to believe that he was that 

responsible. 

He already seemed almost perfect to her, but it would definitely make her feel at ease if he admitted 

that he had been dead drunk before, so she wouldn’t be the only one with multiple flaws. 

“I never knew it was mandatory to experience being drunk enough to misbehave, Miss Grey. But if you 

feel it’s normal, then I’m guessing you’re quite experienced with getting drunk and misbehaving. 

Unfortunately, or should I say, fortunately, I can’t relate to such a terrible experience because, first, I’m very aware of my limits, and I don’t tend to drink to get drunk,” he answered, earning an

“Oh, what a model citizen!” she retorted, making it obvious that she was being sarcastic. “Well, for someone who was born with everything, I’m guessing you’ve never had any reason to want to drink to stupor. Try living my life for one day, and I promise you, dear, you’ll become an alcoholic in the blink of an eye.” 

On hearing her mention that he seemed to be born with everything. Richard would simply chuckle to himself. He wasn’t surprised to hear her say that, because most people around him usually say the same thing, and he was already so accustomed to people associating his wealthy background with having a perfect life. 

“So, now that we’ve established that you’re an alcoholic, is there anything else you’d like to tell me? I mean, do you perhaps have any habits that I would need to look out for?” he asked, suddenly curious to know everything that there was to know about her. 

Amber would squint her eyes in his direction, staring at him with an amused look on her face. When Richard noticed how she was staring at him, he would become slightly nervous, wondering if she was having any weird thoughts in her head. 

He had already started to wrap his head around the fact that Amber wasn’t exactly a normal person, so he made a mental note to himself to watch out for anything unusual, just so she wouldn’t catch him off guard. 

“Richard, you’ve never been married before, right?” Amber questioned. 

She couldn’t exactly pinpoint why her thoughts suddenly redirected to this question, but her 

instincts were telling her that Richard had most likely never lived with a woman before. 

“Of course not! Why would I willingly set myself up for failure? I’m a businessman, and I strongly believe that marriage is a waste of one’s precious life and energy. Of course, with exceptions like our business arrangement,” he replied, and Amber shook her head in disbelief. 

“I mean, I partly agree with the fact that marriage can be a life–sucker, but for someone like you 

who hasn’t even experienced what it is like to get married, you sure sound a little too hateful.” 

Richard rolled his eyes. “And your point is?” 

“My point is, you sound like a virgin,” she responded, and Richard’s face immediately contorted into 

a frown.

“W…what? Excuse me? H…how did you come to such a ridiculous conclusion, Amber?” he asked, unab hide his shock. 

In his thirty–three years on earth, he had never heard anyone refer to him as a virgin, simply because he thought of marriage as a draining activity.  Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FindNʘᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Amber let out a soft chuckle, amused by how triggered Richard looked simply because she had referred to him as a virgin. She couldn’t deny the fact that she had found his reaction quite adorable, and it made her feel the urge to keep teasing him. 

“Have you ever lived with a woman before? I mean, a girlfriend since you’ve never been married?” 

“And why would I live with a girlfriend? That’s crossing the line,” Richard responded, much to Amber’s surprise. 

“Do you mean what you just said, or are you just trying to joke around?” she inquired. 

She started to wonder if Richard perhaps had a few loose screws and wasn’t as flawless as she thought, because why else would he think living with his girlfriend would be crossing the line? 

Richard sighed, realizing that their unnecessary conversation had dragged on for too long. “It may seem as though you and I have very different viewpoints, and as much as it should matter, we’re going 

to have to make this our first rule,” he stated. 

“And what would that be?” Amber asked. 

“It’s simple. Rule number one: neither party A, which is me, nor party B, which represents you, is 

allowed to impose their opinions on the other person. Even though we’re legally going to be married, 

you have no right to try to change my opinions on things, should our opinions differ, and I have no right to do the same,” he explained clearly. 

She shrugged. “I highly doubt that I would waste my time trying to force an old man like you to 

understand my opinion. Clearly, you’re a lost cause, and I’m not interested in helping you,” she responded nonchalantly, and two things stuck in Richard’s mind as he stared back at her in 

disbelief. 

The first thing was that she had referred to him as an old man, and the second was that she just 

called him a lost cause. 

‘Who does she think she is?”
