Caleb’s POV:
This was the first time Janiya had asked me to meet her since I fell out with her.
And of course, Adam would be there.
I knew that this meeting would be about the sale of Roz Town. But judging from the current state of things, today’s negotiation would be much, much more difficult than before. I didn’t know what tricks Janiya
-or Adam-would play.
I headed to the mayor’s office with trepidation. However, as soon as I stepped foot inside the building, my eyes immediately Landed on Debra.
Her beautiful, curly brown hair made her stand out among the crowd.
While I admired her beauty quietly, Damien was starting to get annoyed with me.
“When on earth will you win Debra’s heart? You’ve made up your mind to make your feelings clear to her, and you’ve had so many chances to do so. Why won’t you tell her already?”
Damien’s words struck a chord with me.
Although Debra had already said that she wanted to have nothing to do with me, I felt the need to confess my feelings to her anyway. And even if she refused me, I needed to get a clear answer from her.𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮
“I’LL tell her as soon as I get the chance,” I reassured Damien.
But speaking of Debra, I was confused. What was she doing here?
I walked over to her and asked, “Aren’t you supposed to be taking care of Riley?”
“Something happened, so now I’ve come back to work,” she explained vaguely.
Judging from her calm appearance, she seemed perfectly fine.
Just then, I noticed that the face of Debra’s colleague, who was standing next to her, was swollen and red.
I recognized her. Her name was Sally, if I remembered correctly. Sally often attended banquets with Adam, and she seemed to be on good terms with Debra. In fact, the other day, Sally had visited Debra at the hospital.
“Sally, what happened to your face?” I asked with concern.
Sally glared at me haughtily and muttered, “Janiya did it.”
My gaze immediately shifted over to Debra.
“Are you hurt?”
Sally was speechless. She rolled her eyes at me and pouted, grumbling unhappily, “Don’t worry. Debra’s fine. I’m the one who was slapped by
Janiya.”
“That’s good.” I was relieved to hear that Debra was unharmed.
