Riley already knew everything Adam had done. What on earth was she doing now?
Did she change her mind about the divorce?
Totally confused, I opened the door, got out of the car, and caught up to Riley.
“Riley, please wait a moment!”
Debra’s POV:
Riley stopped in her tracks and turned around. She Looked surprised to see me.
“Debra? What’re you doing out here? Don’t you need to work today?”
“Adam said I should focus on entertaining Caleb, so I don’t have to report to the office for the time being,” I explained.
“Oh, I see.” Riley smiled politely, looking as dignified and elegant as ever.
For a moment, I wondered if the Riley that wanted a divorce was all just a dream.
“Riley, may I ask why you’re here?” I asked warily.
As I spoke, I looked her up and down. She was wearing a modest dress,
just like the ones she used to wear when she still lived under Adam’s tyranny.
Riley opened her mouth to explain when Caleb suddenly interrupted our conversation.
“What will it take for you to stop working for Adam, Debra?” Caleb asked stubbornly.
I rubbed my aching forehead and exhaled loudly.
Why wouldn’t he just let this go?
Overhearing Caleb’s question, Riley asked me, “Caleb doesn’t want you to work for Adam anymore?”
“Yeah…” I replied feebly, feeling very embarrassed.
I wanted to explain myself to Riley, but then she suddenly smiled and said, “Don’t worry. I’ll handle it.
Riley turned to look at Caleb and declared, “Rest assured. Debra won’t have to work for Adam in the office anymore.”
“What?” Caleb asked in confusion.
I was also surprised.
Riley looked at me, her eyes as gentle as a cool summer breeze.
“Because I’ve asked Adam to let Debra continue to work for me as my assistant.”
