“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 neck and neck, 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.

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.
