“Are you sure?” Obviously, Caleb wasn’t convinced.
I didn’t want to be tested by him, so I straightened my back, raised my chin, and asked, “Why? Are there any secrets in that study
Caleb looked at me sharply. Suddenly, he seemed to see something and slowly reached up to touch my face.
For a moment, the whole world fell silent.
Time seemed to slow down. I could clearly hear my heart beating in my chest.
Caleb got closer and closer to me. His intoxicating scent lingered in my nose, which made me go crazy. I froze and my breath stopped. I was waiting for something to happen.
But in the end, nothing happened.
Caleb just smoothed my hair.
“There’s chocolate in your hair,” he explained in a low voice. T was stunned.

It turned out that it was just something in my hair. I breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, the relief was mixed with disappointment. I couldn’t tell what I felt. It was as though something was missing.
“What were you looking at just now? You seemed Lost in thought,” Caleb mused.
“Nothing,” I said quickly, averting my guilty gaze. ‘You didn’t even notice the chocolate in your hair.” He chuckled. Speechless, I Looked at him incredulously.
He was really good at flirting. He always managed to make my heart race, whereas he was always calm.
“Beep! Beep!” A harsh car horn came from the roadside. Then the headlights were turned on, blinding us temporarily.
Squinting, I could vaguely make out the figure of a woman getting out of Caleb’s car. It was Janiya.
“Caleb, I’ve been waiting for you!” Janiya whined unhappily. She had lost her patience waiting for Caleb. Still, she didn’t Lose her temper with him.
But my attention was on the hat that she was wearing. Thinking about her bald head, I couldn’t help but burst into Laughter.
“What’s so funny?” Caleb asked in confusion. Janiya strode toward us, her high heels scraping against the gravel loudly.
I didn’t want to cause another scene, so I explained hurriedly, “I can’t help it-just thinking about her bald head makes me Laugh. Anyway, I don’t want to make her mad, so I’ll get going now.”
While I was making my escape, I vaguely heard Janiya asking Caleb, “Honey, you were in there for a long time. What did you and Adam talk about?”
Caleb’s POV:
Debra wasn’t wrong. Janiya’s bald head was indeed a funny sight. Just looking at the bald part in the back of her head made me want to Laugh, too.
