I immediately lowered my head and apologized. However, when I looked up, I found that the man was none other than Carlos, and Caleb was standing next to him.
I was dumbfounded.
Why was the universe hell-bent on making our paths cross? Fortunately,
I had nothing to worry about since I was wearing a disguise now. I doubted they’d recognize me.
Sure enough, Carlos whistled at me.

“Oh, I’m sorry. Did I hurt you?”
I breathed a sigh of relief and resisted the urge to roll my eyes. When
I was about to reply to Carlos, I met Caleb’s intent gaze.
He Looked me up and down and seemed to have realized something. Wearing a slight frown, he called tentatively, “Debra?”
What the hell? I was wearing a disguise! How did he manage to recognize me?
“Who? I’m sorry, sir. You’ve got the wrong person.”
After saying that, I quickly turned around and disappeared into the crowd.
Fortunately, the bar was so crowded that I managed to escape the two men with relative ease.
I found Riley by the bar counter. My eyes lit up and I hurried over, eager to take her away from here. But Riley was drunk, and a drunk
Riley was like an innocent child.
While she waved her empty glass in the air, I dragged her away from the bar counter forcibly. She asked me in a daze, “What’s wrong?”
Seeing Riley like this, I hesitated, wondering how to tell her about
Adam’s mistress.
Just then, there was a sudden commotion from the crowd on our left. It turned out that a few, muscled bodyguards were pushing away the other guests, hell-bent on catching me and Riley.
And behind them, I could see that it was Janiya barking orders.
With fierce eyes, Janiya seemed to be shouting, “Catch them!”
Ny heart skipped a beat.
Who knew what’d happen if she caught us?
I decisively grabbed Riley’s hand and we ran in the opposite direction.
But unfortunately for us, I saw Caleb and Carlos in the crowd in front of us.
