Janiya glanced at me coldly. “But it doesn’t matter. Even though Colin has run away, I have other evidence to prove it.”
Smirking at me, she reached into her bag to get the evidence she was talking about, but after rummaging for a while, she couldn’t find it.
“What the-? Where could it have gone?” Janiya’s eyebrows shot up in surprise.
Her confidence started to waver. Anxious, she turned her bag upside down and poured out all its contents, but only lipsticks and some cash fell to the ground.
“What the hell?” Janiya muttered in stunned confusion. “I could’ve sworn I put the file in here. Where could it be?”
Adam watched this little charade unfold and was growing impatient. “What the hell is going on?”
Janiya looked a little flustered. “I had the evidence in my bag. But it’s not here anymore. It’s gone!”

What? Even I was a Little stunned.
Janiya hated me so much. She definitely would’ve kept a close eye on whatever evidence she could use against me. Could it be…?
I slowly turned to glance at Caleb, who nodded at me knowingly.
“Wow! I can’t believe Caleb did that for you! See? Honey, he cares about you!” Ivy barked excitedly.
As much as I hated to admit it, Caleb had done a good job. Janiya kept on fumbling through her bag, insisting that she had proof against me. Finally, Caleb stood out and said, “That’s enough, Janiya.”
To Adam, Caleb lowered his head apologetically. “I’m sorry. I’m afraid my personal affairs have caught up to me, which affected your work. I’ll treat you to dinner tonight as compensation.”
While he didn’t say it explicitly, his underlying meaning was clear— Janiya was simply jealous of me, which was why she was making such a huge fuss out of nothing.
Adam showed an understanding expression and chuckled. “Well, it seems you have a lot of women fighting over you.”
Caleb shrugged helplessly.
After that, he turned to Janiya and chastised, “Janiya, stop wasting
Adam’s time. I’m disappointed in you.”
Then he abruptly turned around and walked away without giving Janiya the chance to react.
I watched him go, secretly impressed with his acting skills. If Caleb hadn’t glanced at me with a subtle smile before he left, I would’ve believed in his little act. His performance was Oscar-worthy!
Only after Caleb left did Janiya realize what had happened. She picked up her things and ran after him, her high heels clacking against the ground loudly. “Wait for me, Caleb!”
Alas, the good show had come to an end.
