Just then, I felt a warm fabric being wrapped around my shoulders. Stunned, I looked over my shoulder and found Caleb standing behind me. He had given me his expensive, dark blue suit jacket.

When Janiya saw this, the smug smile on her face froze and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Adam also looked surprised. He Looked at the three of us suspiciously and fell into deep thought.
“You’ve crossed a line, Janiya.” Caleb looked at Janiya with sharp eyes. “Don’t forget that Debra is still Adam’s secretary.”

Janiya still wanted to quibble, but Caleb cut her off harshly. “Didn’t your father teach you how to respect others? Apologize to Debra and Adam now.”
Being scolded like this, Janiya pulled a long face.
She must have been spoiled at home and had never been lectured like this, because her face immediately turned as red as the dress she was wearing.
“Apologize? What did I do wrong? Why should I apologize?”
Janiya stomped her foot and stormed off angrily.
Caleb didn’t chase after her. In fact, he didn’t even look at her. Instead, he turned to Adam and said kindly, “I’m sorry for Janiya’s behavior. She has a bad temper. I hope you can forgive her.”
After a pause, he added, “And one flaw cannot obscure your secretary’s beauty. Do you agree?”
As Caleb spoke, he glanced at my scarred shoulder.

I felt uneasy under his sharp gaze. I simply couldn’t understand this man. ALL my suffering had been caused by him. Why he was defending me now?
“I agree.” Adam smiled ambiguously and waved to the waiter to bring us some champagne.
“Cheers! Let’s forget all the unpleasant things of the past.” Adam raised his glass to Caleb. “I hope you’ll get what you want here in Roz Town.”
Obviously, he was implying something. And Caleb nodded with a meaningful expression.
“You too. Wish us a pleasant cooperation.”
The two smiled at each other knowingly.
I didn’t know exactly what was going on, but I had a vague feeling that it had something to do with the matter I was investigating.
“Cheers!”
The three of us clinked our glasses together, the champagne swirling under the bright Lights.
Just then, the light in the hall gradually dimmed, and melodious music began to play. It seemed that it was time to dance.
