“Tell me, how many individuals did you witness accompanying her Last night? And who were they?” Janiya queried the receptionist.
The receptionist who was on duty Last night had already changed shifts.
Furthermore, being a remote hotel, the check-in information was incomplete, and there was no record of the individuals who had checked in.
The receptionist, faced with an unprecedented situation, became visibly frightened. Realizing the absence of specific information on the registration form, she trembled as she reached for the phone.
“I apologize for the inconvenience. Please wait a moment. I will consult my colleague who was on duty last night.”
“You’d better hurry up,” Janiya urged impatiently.

Concerned that the receptionist might inadvertently expose me, I contemplated my options, strategizing on how best to handle the situation.
Observing my expression, Janiya remarked sarcastically, “Debra, it seems you and Caleb can’t drive me away. Once I uncover that you were with Riley last night, it will be you who gets expelled from Roz Town!”
She approached me with a malicious grin, her expression filled with spite. “Just you wait. I will witness firsthand the moment you’re expelled from this town.”
“Miss, there’s no need for any further investigation.”
Caleb’s voice suddenly interjected from behind.
He instructed the receptionist to end the call before approaching us.
He told Janiya, “I was the one sharing the room with Debra last night.
Riley was not present. Please refrain from creating a scene here.”
Janiya’s eyes widened in sheer disbelief, stunned by Caleb’s statement.
Debra’s POV:
“What did you just say?”
Janiya’s anger flared as she sharply turned her head to confront me demanding, “Is he speaking the truth?”
Caleb and I exchanged glances, our eyes meeting briefly.
It dawned on me that Caleb had Lied to silence Janiya.
Considering the circumstances, I decided to play along.
“Yes.” I took the initiative to reach out and gently hold his arm, a smile playing on my lips.
“Ever since I left the hospital, we’ve been inseparable, always together.”
At that moment, Caleb leaned in and planted a gentle kiss on my cheek
Janiya’s expression grew ominous, her face clouded with anger.
