Then, Sally turned her head and winked at me meaningfully.

I nodded in response. While Sally was busy talking to the guards, I
held Riley’s arm and escorted her out, keeping her dignity intact.
Riley straightened her back and strode out of the office elegantly and calmly.

But as soon as we reached the exit, she seemed to have lost all her strength and almost collapsed to the ground.
Debra’s POV:
“Riley, are you okay?”
I hurried to catch her and helped to steady her
Riley slowly raised her head and looked at me with tears in her eyes
No matter how strong a person was, when their walls came crashing down, they’d be inevitably vulnerable. Feeling sorry for Riley, I couldn’t help but hug her tightly. “Don’t be sad. You did so good just now.”
Truth be told, I was extremely happy that Riley was finally standing up for herself. I didn’t expect to see her take the first step to live for herself before I left.
I was glad that she had suddenly become so brave.
After calming down a little, Riley said to me in a soft voice, fine now, Debra. You should get back to work, or you’ll be scolded.”

I sighed. She was always so considerate.
Although I wanted to stay with her and comfort her, there were only a few hours left before our leave. I couldn’t afford to make any mistakes.
So I had no choice but to say goodbye to her and return to the office
Just then, Harlan texted me. “Debra, I have Elena. Don’t forget to be on time tonight.”
I replied, “Okay.”
I didn’t know why, but I felt a Little uneasy. I couldn’t seem to shake off the feeling that something bad was going to happen
Sure enough, Adam stopped me just as I was getting off work
“Debra, you’re coming with me to meet Riley tonight.”
Frowning, my first instinct was to refuse, but I was worried that doing so would arouse Adam’s suspicion. After weighing my options, I finally nodded. “Sure.”
The restaurant wasn’t far from the rendezvous point Harlan and I had agreed on. I should be able to find an opportunity to sneak out during dinner.
On the way to the restaurant, I secretly texted Harlan. “I’m going to be in the area, but I have to join Adam for dinner at Blesse
Restaurant. Don’t worry. I’ll sneak out and meet you at the appointed time.”
