Finally, Caleb let go of me and asked, “Janiya, what’re you doing here?”
As he spoke, he abandoned me and walked leisurely to the she-wolf named Janiya. His tone was softer and more affectionate.
“I’ve been waiting for you in the car for so long,” Janiya complained in a small voice, pouting aggrievedly. “I missed you so much, so I went in to look for you.”
‘m sorry for making you wait. There was something I had to deal with,” Caleb explained naturally, as though he wasn’t pinning me to a wall just now. “Debra, this is Janiya Barton.”

Call it a woman’s sixth sense, but as soon as Janiya heard his introduction, she immediately turned to look at me with strong dissatisfaction and vigilance in her eyes.
But the next second, she put on a cute expression and held Caleb’s hand intimately. “Darling, who is this woman?”
As she spoke, she practically wrapped her body around Caleb’s Like a snake.
Although I felt uncomfortable, I still managed to put on a professional -but fake-smile. “Hello, miss. I’m Adam Cooper’s secretary, Debra Clarkson. I’m responsible for arranging Caleb’s check-in at the hotel.” “Oh, don’t let us bother you.”
Janiya refused without skipping a beat. “He already has me. I’LL do it for him. You can go now.”
Truth be told, I wasn’t happy about this, but at least I could finally escape from Caleb. As I sighed in relief, Caleb seemed to see right through me, because he suddenly smiled at me evilly like a child playing a nasty prank.
I immediately had a bad feeling about this.
Sure enough, the next second he threw his car keys to me and said, “Janiya, you and I will be doing something else in the car, so let her drive us back to St. Yves Hotel.”
Janiya blushed, but she didn’t protest.
“Okay, Caleb,” she said shyly. “Debra, please drive safely.”
My smile froze on my face.
What a damn coincidence! The hotel they were going to was the same one I had checked into!
I couldn’t help but curse all the deities inwardly.
Well, I could just check in to another hotel, but Elena was still in there. I had to be careful. I couldn’t let them know about Elena.
The drive back to the hotel was a little bumpy thanks to the haphazardly constructed road, and the car would jolt from time to time. But this didn’t affect Janiya’s mood. She was busy enjoying herself, sticking close to Caleb as though she was reluctant to separate from him even for just a second.
Through the rearview mirror, I could see that Janiya wasn’t on guard against me. She just kept complaining to Caleb, whining, “Honey, why’d you want to come to this shabby town? There’s nothing here, and the reads are terrible. This isn’t fun at all!”
Well, good question. That was also what I was wondering.
I wanted to eavesdrop on Caleb’s answer, but then I met his gaze in the rearview mirror.
