“I’m not your friend.” I refused to help Janiya lie in this situation. “But this matter is over, so let’s just drop it. I hope this will never happen again, because I don’t want my work to be affected by your pettiness. I have nothing to do with your beloved Caleb, okay? I’m just a secretary and I’m very busy with my work, so please stop pestering me.”
Janiya didn’t answer, but her face turned even redder in embarrassment.
From the police’s perspective, the situation wasn’t that serious, so after lecturing Janiya, they left. The onlookers also dispersed. In the end, only I and Janiya were Left standing in the hall.
After staring at me for awhile, Janiya suddenly changed her expression and smiled. “Debra, you just said in front of the police that you have nothing to do with Caleb. Is that true?”
I didn’t know why Janiya would suddenly ask me this, but I answered firmly, “Yes. I already have a boyfriend. So, congratulations on your engagement with Caleb.”
“Good!”” A sly smile tugged at the corners of Janiya’s lips, as though her scheme succeeded.
While I was wondering why she was smiling so happily, I heard Caleb’s voice from behind me.
I turned around and found him standing there sullenly.
“Thank you, Debra.” He looked at me, but his tone was oddly cold, enough to send shivers down my spine.
I was about to say something, but he simply walked past me as though I was nothing but a stranger.
“Janiya, why’d you make a fuss again?”
Caleb talked to Janiya, cupped her cheek gently, and spoke in a soft, affectionate voice. “Don’t do that again, okay?”
His sudden affection even surprised Janiya, “Honey, you’re not mad at me?”
“Why would I be mad?”
made a scene…” Janiya said guiltily.
“It’s not a big deal.” Caleb then glanced at me indifferently. “Debra was released from custody, wasn’t she? I believe she has forgiven you.” What the hell?
I was so angry that I gritted my teeth, but I could only force a smile on the surface. “Since it was a misunderstanding, of course I forgive you.”
Janiya soon recovered from her initial shock and put on a cute expression. She hugged Caleb and said happily, “Honey, you’re the best.”
“Get some rest, Janiya.” With tenderness in his eyes, Caleb reached out and gently ruffled Janiya’s hair.
I stared at Caleb‘s face in disbelief. He was completely different from the person who was so eager to mark me as his mate last night.
Which one was the real Caleb-the one from last night or the one standing in front of Janiya now?
He knew that I was his mate, and he also knew that Janiya had framed me, but he still chose to treat Janiya gently and overlook her crimes. Perhaps Caleb loved Janiya…
