I squinted at the address suspiciously. Why did this address look familiar?
I racked my brains, trying to piece things together.
Damn it!
The reason why this address was so familiar was that it was the same kindergarten where Anna worked. It was also Elena’s school.
Oh, my God! Luca and Elena went to the same school? I was doomed! What should I do?
I glanced at Caleb nervously. Seeing that he was dozing off, I quickly texted Anna in a panic. “Anna, I’m dropping by the kindergarten with my business partner in a while. Can you make sure Elena‘s gone by then? She can’t be found.”
Minutes ticked by, but Anna didn’t reply. She was probably in class.
I was very anxious, but I couldn’t show it. After all, Caleb was sitting right next to me.

Oh, God! What should I do?
What if Caleb saw Elena?
What could I do to prevent that from happening?
Just as I was spiraling out of control, Caleb suddenly opened his eyes and asked, “Debra, how can I make things up to you?”
His question caught me off guard. When I realized what he was asking, I answered, “There’s no need for it.”
“What do you mean?”
Caleb sat up straight and looked at me sincerely. “You’ve suffered a lot because of me. I have to make things right.”
“And I said there’s no need,” I reiterated firmly. “Caleb, what’s done is done. Compensating me might make you feel better, but it won’t change the fact that I suffered because of you. Besides, I don’t need your money.”
Slumped in his seat, Caleb fell silent.
“Even if you don’t want anything in return, at least let me do something for you,” he murmured after a while.
I nearly shook my head out of instinct, but on second thought, I had an idea. “Actually, there’s one thing you can do for me. Tell me, what on earth are you doing in Roz Town?”
“I can’t tell you that,” Caleb said, shaking his head without any hesitation. “But I hope you’ll Leave Roz Town as soon as possible. Things might get a bit chaotic soon.”
“Chaotic? What’s that supposed to mean?” My curiosity was piqued. Now, I needed to hear his side of the story.
“You’ll know after you Leave,” Caleb replied cryptically.
