The staff that had gathered around started whispering.
Sally approached and asked in a low voice, “What happened, Debra?”
I didn’t know how to explain it to her, so I just shook my head and said, “I don’t know.”
“I see.” A Look of disappointment appeared on Sally’s face. “Ever since Caleb showed up, there has been drama pretty much every day in Adam’s office. These times are so exciting!”
I couldn’t help but chuckle at her words. But she was right. Unfortunately, I wasn’t just one of the onlookers who could enjoy the show. Because I was part of the drama.
Seeing that everyone had gathered here to gossip, Adam was obviously very annoyed. He waved his hand and shooed away the onlookers angrily. “Get back to work!”
Caleb’s POV:
I knew that Janiya would follow me, so when I left Adam’s office building, I went straight back to the hotel.
As expected, Janiya followed me in another car.
“Caleb, wait!”
As soon as I got out of the car, Janiya sprinted toward me as quickly as she could, which made me applaud just how durable her high-heeled shoes were.
“Caleb, just listen to me, okay? I’ve looked into it, and Debra’s background isn’t as simple as it seems.” Patting her chest, Janiya panted and caught her breath. “Debra’s the daughter of a prostitute and a traitor from the Silver Ridge Pack. She tricked both you and Adam!”

She was so worked up that her chest heaved violently as she spoke, as though she was afraid that I wouldn’t believe her.
“Really? Prove it,” I replied flatly.
“I put the file in my bag, but for some reason, it’s not there anymore…” Janiya ran her fingers through her hair in distress. “But you have to trust me!”
I stretched out my hand and gently tucked a strand of Janiya’s messy hair behind her ear, saying calmly, “How can I believe you if you have no evidence? Janiya, Debra is Adam’s secretary. You can’t just slander her like that.”
Janiya insisted, “But I’m not lying!”
I smiled faintly.
Unbeknownst to Janiya, I already knew about Debra’s background. In fact, I probably knew more than she did. And I was the one who stole the document from her bag.
“Janiya, you should know something.” In order to stop Janiya from making trouble for Debra, I approached her and warned her expressionlessly, “I’m not going back to the Thorn Edge Pack with you unless I finish my business here in Roz Town. If you continue to make trouble, I’ll have to extend my stay here. And Adam has more than one female secretary.”
Janiya stared at me, wide-eyed and at a loss for words. Her angry expression satisfied me. Holding back my Laughter, I turned around and walked away without giving her the chance to respond.
As soon as I entered the hotel, I saw Carlos waiting for me at the lobby.
