Riley was still drunk out of her mind and could barely keep her eyes open. I was afraid that she would talk nonsense like she did in the bar, so I quickly reached out to snatch her phone.

But Caleb reacted faster than me.
He plucked the phone out of Riley’s hand and glanced at me provokingly before saying into the receiver, “Hello.”

What the hell was he up to?

I tried to grab the phone from him.
But Caleb was on high alert. He held up the phone up so high that I couldn’t even touch it despite standing on tiptoe.
Seeing that I stubbornly refused to give up, Caleb covered the microphone and threatened me in a low voice, “Debra, if you don’t let me stay tonight, I’ll ask Adam to come and pick up Riley now.”
“Damn it!” I was so pissed off by his threat, but I knew I had no other choice but to concede.

“So what? Well, since you don’t want me to stay, I guess I’ll tell him to come get Riley.
He raised his voice and put the phone close to his mouth, as if he was going to tell Adam the next second.
Without a moment to lose, I made up my mind to compromise. “Okay, okay.

Satisfied, Caleb hung up the phone.
After turning the phone off, he slipped it back into Riley’s bag.

Although Caleb wasn’t happy about the arrangement, I was very firm. He had no choice but to settle for the room next to ours.
After he left, I closed the door and made sure to lock it. Then I gently removed Riley’s makeup, washed her face, and lay her on the bed.
Fortunately, the alcohol seemed to be wearing off by now.
She sat up in bed with empty eyes, staring into space as though she was deep in thought.
