“Im sorry.
This was the first time I had seen Caleb look so helpless and guilty. Since Caleb was distracted, Colin seized the opportunity to run away. He hopped into his car and fled in a frenzy.
But I was too preoccupied to care. My mind was a mess and I felt suffocated.
I didn’t want to say anything more. So I walked away in a daze and hailed a taxi, leaving Caleb alone on the curb.
As soon as I closed the door behind me, I couldn’t hold my tears back anymore. They rolled down my cheeks uncontrollably, dripping onto my white shirt.
I missed Vicky terribly.

If it weren’t for this damned coincidence, Vicky wouldn’t have been killed, and I wouldn’t have left the Silver Ridge Pack and suffered so much. ALL the pain and suffering over the past five years was caused by Colin, who wanted to blackmail Caleb.
Why would fate play such a cruel joke on me?
With mixed feelings, I went straight to the mayor’s office.
I couldn’t let Adam know how big of a wreck I was, so I went to the bathroom and fixed myself up before entering his office.
“What a surprise! You still remembered to come back!”
As soon as I stepped foot inside the office, Adam threw a pile of documents at me. “Pack your things and get out of my sight! You skipped work on your very first day. It’s clear that you don’t take me seriously at all!”
Skipped work?
How could this be skipping work?
Shocked, I asked in disbelief, “Didn’t you ask Caleb over the phone to tell me that I needed to entertain him today?”
Debra’s POV:
“Entertain Caleb?” Adam echoed in bewilderment. “I never said that. Debra, what kind of excuse is that?”
Adam seemed to find me ridiculous and even rolled his eyes at me. Only then did I realize that Caleb had Lied to me.
When Caleb was threatening me this morning, his phone call to Adam was fake. He never called Adam!
That damned bastard! He was going to get me fired!
Now that things had come to this, I had to humble myself and bow before Adam apologetically. “I’m really sorry for inconveniencing you!”
“What’s the point of apologizing?” Adam sat in his chair and Looked at me coldly. “What about the losses caused by your absence?”
