âSally, do you know what projects Emily was working on before she was fired?â I asked.
âLet me think.
I think it wasââ
Before Sally could give me key information, Adam suddenly appeared.
âWhy arenât you two working?â Adam roared with a dark face.
âSally, get back to work.
â
âYes, Mr.
Cooper!â
Sally, who was caught in the act of gossiping, felt very guilty and scurried off like a mouse.
She ran really fast in her high heels.
After driving Sally away, Adam looked at me coldly and demanded, âDebra, what exactly happened between you and Janiya yesterday?â
Debraâs POV:
Looking into Adamâs serious eyes, I was a little hesitant.
If I told him the truth, Adam would likely fire me.
I wasnât as important in his eyes as the cooperation he had with the Barton family.
He definitely couldnât afford to offend Janiya at this time.
After thinking for a while, I put on a smile and said simply, âDonât worry.
Yesterday was just a misunderstanding.
â
âBut I heard that Janiya was rushed to the hospital.
â Adam squinted at me suspiciously.
âShe got a cut, thatâs all.
And I went to the police station to give them a statement.
The case was closed yesterday,â I explained coolly.
Janiyaâs injuries looked worse than they actually were.
She wasnât stupid enough to risk her own life just to frame me.

After getting the reply he wanted, Adam relaxed a Little and nodded in satisfaction.
He stared at me with a meaningful look and said, âThatâs good.
Debra, you have to know your place, understood? Donât mess with people like Janiya.
â
âOf course.
â I didnât retort and bowed obediently.
Adam seemed to be very satisfied with my answer, because he suddenly smiled and said in a kinder tone, âItâs good that you understand.
Oh, and a word of advice? Forget about Caleb.
Only a she-wolf from a rich family can be his wife.
But you can always be his secret lover.
â
The corner of my mouth twitched.
Adamâs so-called advice made me sick.
I hated the thought of being
Calebâs wife, let alone his secret lover!
Did these arrogant werewolves think that she-wolves were their playthings?
Even though I was seething inwardly, I still pretended to be respectful.
âOf course, sir.
Donât worry.
I know my place.
â
Perhaps it was because Adam had gotten the answer he wanted that his grin widened.
Before I could leave to get back to work, Adam added, âAlthough Janiya wasnât seriously injured, she wonât be happy about what happened.
I want you to go to the hospital tomorrow to apologize to her.
