Sally also overheard what Carlos had said just now. She leaned closer to me and mused, “I think Adam’s going to sign the contract with them here.”
“What makes you think so?”
I narrowed my eyes at her, finding this whole situation strange.
Carlos didn’t mention Adam at all just now. How could Sally be so sure that it was Adam who was going to sign the contract with Caleb?

“Here’s the thing. Contract signing usually takes place in a meeting room, right?” Sally spoke confidently. “But Adam likes this restaurant very much. Every time he’s about to sign a contract for a big project, he’d choose this restaurant. And that guy just asked the waiter to do what Adam usually does.”
“I see…”
I nodded absentmindedly, deep in thought.
Sally added, “But I wonder what project Adam is signing tonight. I’m
Adam’s secretary, but I don’t know a thing about this project. No one at the office does. It’s strange.”
“Is he always this secretive?” I asked cautiously.
“No, it didn’t start until Caleb came. Adam has been acting very mysterious since then. He seems to be hiding something from us.”
I gulped. I had a rough idea about what Adam might be trying to hide.
The project Adam wanted to sign off on tonight had something to do with selling the town, I was sure of it. Maybe they were also going to sign an agreement to relocate Roz Town’s residents.
I bit my lip, feeling a little worried.
Did Adam and Caleb already reach an agreement on Roz Town’s selling price? Didn’t Adam want to meet other buyers during the carnival?
If it was the former, what was I supposed to do?
Eyeing Carlos from afar, I couldn’t help but frown tightly.
Once the contract was signed, the town was doomed. How could I stop them from signing the agreement?
“Debra, doesn’t that guy Look so mysterious?”
Sally’s words interrupted my disturbed thoughts.
I snapped back to my senses and looked at Sally in confusion, only to find that she was staring straight at Carlos. And I could see the love-struck look in her eye.
“He looks so strong. If I can marry someone Like him, maybe I’ll finally be able to escape from Adam.”
“Yeah, maybe…”
Truth be told, I was a little hesitant.
Carlos was indeed a very powerful werewolf, but I didn’t know if he’d be good for Sally. After all, he had done nothing to leave a good impression on me so far.
