“I wasn’t eavesdropping. I’m just here to send you coffee,” I explained helplessly.
Adam’s eyes darted between me and Caleb, who was unfazed by what just happened. At that moment, Adam seemed to understand something about me and Caleb.
“Debra, you can Leave once you’re done cleaning up,” Adam ordered. “Okay, sir.”
I bit my Lip and Lowered my head. I had no choice but to bear the pain in silence.
Caleb didn’t say anything to defend me. He just sat aside and did nothing, which made me feel terrible.
Maybe it was because of the time we had spent together these past few days that I had the illusion that he actually cared about me. But it turned out that he was still the same asshole he was before.
I cleared up the mess in a sour mood. After leaving the meeting room, I went to the bathroom to wash the coffee stains off my clothes.
As I stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, I stared at my reflection. “Debra, calm down. Whoever Caleb marries has nothing to do with you. If he marks someone as his partner, you must give up. You can’t let him shake you.” 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Thinking of how apathetic he looked in the meeting room just now, my expression darkened. “Don’t forget your mission, Debra.”

Then I washed my face with cold water and walked out of the bathroom after calming down.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked out of the door, I caught a whiff of a familiar smell.
Sure enough, a few meters away, Caleb was walking to me. His tall figure was especially conspicuous in the narrow corridor. It seemed that wherever he went, he always stood out.
He walked leisurely. I didn’t want him to notice me, so I lowered my head and tried to make my presence as small as possible.
When we were about to pass each other by, Caleb reached out and grabbed my wrist.
“Where do you think you’re going, Debra?” he asked in a Low voice. “Let me go,” I said through gritted teeth, trying hard to get rid of his grip.
Someone could pass by at any time. I didn’t want to be seen with him. Caleb ignored my protests and said, “No. I won’t let you go.”
Then he dragged me down the corridor and into a storage room.
The light in the storage room was dim. Before I could react, he pressed me against the wall.
“What the hell do you want, Caleb?”
I struggled to free myself and rushed to the door, but he was faster than me. He locked the door without hesitation.
I cursed him angrily, “You’ll make me lose my job!”
“You can go back if you want, but you have to answer my question honestly first.” Then he suddenly leaned toward me, his warm breath washing over my face.
