The man was clearly ambitious, easily controlled by those above him. Those who worked for him, on the other hand, were doomed to suffer under his management. And I belonged to the Latter group.
Things were really taking a turn for the worse.
Just then, I noticed that there was a werewolf sitting next to Adam. He was well-dressed, had blond hair, dark green eyes, and a stunningly handsome face.
The werewolf was none other than Caleb.
My blood ran cold and I froze on the spot.
Why the hell was Caleb here? Wasn’t he the Alpha of the Thorn Edge Pack? Why on earth would he come to this poor rural area? Was he mad or what?
When I was staring at Caleb, I found that he was also looking back at me. This time, he seemed to have recognized me. His expression was a little strange, as though he was Looking at something unpleasant.
I was racking my brains, trying to look for a way to break the ice when Caleb suddenly stood up and started walking over slowly.

Debra’s POV:
“What’re you doing here?”
Caleb stared at me curiously.
I had no idea how to answer his question without revealing too much information, so I stayed silent and averted my gaze awkwardly.
“Why? What’s wrong?” Sensing the weird atmosphere between me and Caleb, Adam also stood up. “It sounds like you’ve met my new secretary before.”
“Secretary?” Caleb murmured, Looking at me strangely. “Adam, why’d you hire her to be your secretary?”
“Why not?” Adam asked in confusion. “Is there something wrong with her?” “She-“
Worried that Caleb would say something that’d compromise my investigation, I panicked and cut him off abruptly. “Mr. Wright misunderstood me once, but that’s all in the past. I know that he is a sensible person who wouldn’t dwell on such a small thing.”
Caleb narrowed his eyes at me with a trace of intrigue, but he didn’t deny it.
After an awkward pause, Adam seemed to understand something and suddenly burst into laughter. “Ha-ha! I know he has had his fair share of flings, but I never thought you’d run into your ex here! What a coincidence!”
Caleb nodded. “You’re right. It really is a coincidence.”
His eyes never left me as he spoke, and it made me feel very uncomfortable.
As far as I was concerned, Caleb was nothing but a ticking time bomb. And I just knew that Caleb would compromise my investigation.
My heart tightened in my chest.
