When Harlan received my text, he immediately replied, “That restaurant is near the rendezvous point, so I’ll park my car there. Come out as soon as get the chance, and we’ll leave after that.”
“Got it.” I agreed immediately.
It seemed things would go smoothly tonight.
Thinking of this, I felt a little relieved.
If all went well, we should be able to leave in one piece tonight.
As soon as Adam and I arrived at the restaurant, I heard a familiar, masculine voice greet us.
“What a coincidence!” Caleb suddenly stepped in front of us.
Adam was a little surprised, but he chuckled soon.
“Are you here alone?
Come and join us!”
Caleb agreed with a smile. But when he looked at me, there was unmistakable coldness in his eyes. And although the smile never left his face, it didn’t feel sincere.
His behavior felt a Little off. It was as though he had a problem with me or something.
Did I piss him off yesterday because I left early?
“Caleb, Let’s have some drinks.”
Since Riley hadn’t arrived yet, Adam didn’t order dinner just yet.

Instead, he invited Caleb to drink with him.
The two chatted merrily. It seemed that Adam didn’t take Riley’s divorce proposal seriously at all. On the contrary, he joked, “Caleb, you really have a way with women. You’re able to fool around yet you’ve managed to keep Debra‘s heart.”
“You’re wrong. I’m the one who gets fooled easily.” Caleb looked at me when he said this.
Although he didn’t say my name, I couldn’t shake off the feeling that he was talking about me.𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮
But why? Why would he say that?
I was confused and secretly tugged at the hem of his suit with inquiring eyes, wanting to know what he meant. But before he could respond, Riley appeared at the door.
“Sorry, I’m late.”
Debra’s POV:
Riley was a little surprised to see both me and Caleb here, but out of politeness, she still sat down.
“I’m really sorry, Riley.”
