“Relax, Caleb. I’m fine now.” I tried my best to keep a straight face and continued to cooperate with him.
“I had to leave early this morning, so I wasn’t able to wait for you to wake up. Did you eat the breakfast I prepared?” he asked with concern.
“Yes, I did. Thank you.
We pretended to be an intimate couple for a little while longer.
Finally, Adam couldn’t help but clear his throat. “Caleb, how have you been?”
“I’m fine, thanks,” Caleb replied naturally
“Really?” Adam looked him up and down dubiously.
“Is it because I’ve been staying at the hospital to take care of Debra that you’ve misunderstood something?” Caleb arched his eyebrow and smiled knowingly.
Adam didn’t reply and simply stared at Caleb in silence.
I was a little nervous and couldn’t help but fiddle with the hem of my clothes.
Although Caleb had been successfully cured, he had only woken up two days ago. If Adam tried to hurt him now, the Lie would inevitably be exposed.
Damn it! Where was Carlos?
Where was he at such a critical moment?
Angela’s Library
Every second that ticked by was torture. My mind was racing, trying to come up with a solution before all hell broke loose.
Janiya, on the other hand, was fully enjoying the show.
After all, she was the one who poisoned Caleb, so she was sure that he was only pretending to be fine.
“Adam, trust me. Caleb’s just pretending. He was poisoned by me. You’d better capture him now!”
Adam completely ignored her. In fact, he didn’t move for a long time, as though he was weighing the pros and cons.
Just when I thought I couldn’t take the suspense anymore, Adam spoke up. “Caleb, were you marked?”
Then the entire office fell silent.
Caleb was also bewildered. He didn’t expect that Adam would focus on this.
Coughing slightly, Caleb nodded and said in a gruff voice, “Yes, Debra marked me. Adam, I hope you’ll keep this between us. After all, I haven’t won her heart yet.”
Adam understood and nodded in agreement.
Then he Looked at me strangely.
“My secretary is really something. If you and Caleb end up together someday, Debra, you have to invite me to your wedding.”
