Annoyed, I reached for the handle, eager to get rid of him. But to my surprise, the door opened by itself.

What was going on? Just as I was trying to figure it out, a half-naked man poked his head out. He Looked at me with tenderness and said gently, “Hi, honey.”
Debra’s POV:
“What took you so long? I’ve been waiting for you,” the man said discontentedly.

His hair was a Little wet and disheveled, as though he had just stepped out of the shower. Sure enough, a bath towel was Loosely wrapped around his waist, showing off his eight-pack.
I was shell-shocked, let alone Caleb.
Indeed, I knew this man. He was from the Xeric Pack and one of Gale’s subordinates, Harlan Reed.
Even though I knew him, never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined he’d show up like this.
But I couldn’t drop my cover, so I had no choice but to put on a show with him.
“Harlan, this is Caleb, my boss’s business partner.”

Then I turned to look at Caleb and started to lie through my teeth. “This is my boyfriend, Harlan Reed. We’ve been together for a while now, but I went to Roz Town a few days ahead of him.”
At the mention of the word “boyfriend,” Caleb’s face darkened.
“You have a boyfriend? Really?”
I nodded silently.
Seeing the astonished Look on Caleb’s face, I suddenly realized that this was the perfect way to get him to stop harassing me.
Even a man as shameless as him would have enough sense to keep his hands off a taken woman.
“Sorry, but it’s none of your business. I don’t have to explain myself to you. Please leave.”
Caleb Looked at me in stunned silence.
Before he could regain his composure, I dragged Harlan into the room and closed the door behind us.
After making sure that no one could hear us, I hissed, “What’s going on?”
“Gale heard that you were trapped, so she sent me to help. She wants us to speed up the investigation,” Harlan explained as he put on his clothes. “Gale also told me to tell you not to get too close to Caleb. Go back to the Xeric Pack as soon as you find the evidence. You can’t waste time here.”
I nodded. “I know, I know.” Harlan sank into the sofa, grumbling, “This place is so shabby. I don’t know why Gale’s putting us through all this trouble. We should just bring our soldiers here and interrogate Adam.”
