The soft buzz in my pocket startled me in the otherwise quiet room.
I took a deep breath and quickly checked my phone, only to find that
Riley was the one who kept texting me. She was wondering if everything was okay.
Although I really wanted to keep searching, I was worried that Riley might realize that something was wrong and would come back inside to look for me, so I had no choice but to leave.
Together, we went to the department store, but my mind was elsewhere.
“Is there anything you want to buy, Debra?” Riley’s voice pulled me back to reality.
I was about to shake my head, but then I suddenly remembered that the silk scarf Sally had lent me had been ripped by Janiya.

“I want to buy a scarf for Sally,” I answered resolutely. “She lent me her silk scarf for a party, but I accidentally ripped it. I want to get her a new one to replace the one I ruined.”
Riley also knew how kind Sally was. She nodded and said thoughtfully,
“Okay, I’ll help you pick one out for her.”
While looking around, we decided to drop by the jewelry store since it was right there.
“Honey, can you carry me? My leg’s starting to hurt again.”
I heard a familiar female voice from inside the store.
Sure enough, when I looked in the direction of the voice, I found that it was indeed Janiya. Caleb was standing next to her in a dark green suit.
Ordinary men wouldn’t Look too good in dark green, because without a perfect figure and a handsome face, it was hard to make such a color work.
I had never seen Caleb wear dark green before. This was the first time.
And it was undeniable that he Looked very handsome in it. He was born with the features of a Greek god. The dark green suit and the matching tie made him look very orderly, elegant, and at the same time, casual.
Janiya also saw us. She greeted Riley politely.
“Hello, Riley. Nice to see you here.”
“Nice to see you, too.” Riley greeted her politely. “You and Caleb make for such a handsome couple.”
“Thank you!”
Janiya grinned happily.
Riley then glanced at her legs and asked in surprise, “You’ve recovered already? It seems you’re up and about so soon!”
“I had to get well soon.” Janiya suddenly looked at me and narrowed her eyes, implying something.
“If I didn’t get well sooner, some bitch might steal Caleb from me.”
