Amber and Claire stood at the back of the crowd, watching Mia. Neither of them ever expected Mia to be like this.
Mia and the man were still arguing non–stop until a teacher walked by, scolded the man, and told him to leave, Only then did things finally calm
down
Mia’s eyes were rimmed with tears of humiliation as she looked around. When she saw Amber and Claire, she bit her lip, clenched her fists, and tumed to leave.
Amber Hart, this has to be your
your doing, Mia thought angrily. If it weren’t for you, how did my plan fail?”
Mia tried calling her cousin, only to realize she’d been blocked–after she’d already given him two thousand bucks!
Amber and Claire were both briefly shocked, but they didn’t dwell on it. After all, everyone had their own life to live. Amber had finally seen Mia’s true colors, and thanks to Claire, she understood what real friendship was. She didn’t feel upset anymore.
“Claire, are you sure we’re allowed in here?” Amber asked, glancing up at the towering building in front of them. Two massive bodyguards stood at the entrance, both wearing dark sunglasses, looking intimidating.
Claire squeezed her hand. “This is the biggest bodyguard company in the country. If anyone can find us the toughest bodyguards, it’s here.”
Amber’s eyes sparkled as she stared up at the building. “Yeah, Claire, thanks for coming with me. Next time you need anything. I’ll be there for you
Claire beamed and gave her a good pinch on the check. “It’s a promise. We’ve made a deal”

a look of admiration, really appreciating Amber’s confidence and boldness.
“Alright, I’ll take you to see them right away. This way, please, the receptionist said.
Alex Carter led them up to the 26th floor. “This is where all our top bodyguards are. Since you two are new customers, you can pick for yourselves. So, do you want fifty or a hundre
Amber answered with wide–eyed innocence, “Just one”
Alex was shocked, nearly tripping over his own feet. “Wan, what did you say? One? Just one?”
When both girls nodded, he was left speechless. Are these two for real? Are they seriously messing with me right now? he thought, feeling utterly
defeated
“Alright, you want the best! I’ll go get him for you. Just wait here,” Alex said, sounding a little exasperated.
Claire was clearly annoyed
“You promised we could pick ourselves. We want to choose, right, Amber?”
Amber nodded seriously: “Yeah, I want to pick myself. Call everyone over.
