My heart skipped a beat and I quickly came up with an explanation.
âI learned it a long time ago.
â
The truth was that my mother also loved to play the piano, and Vicky always tuned it for her.
I learned it from Vicky.
Thinking about this made my heart ached a little.
âThatâs awesome, Debra.
â Riley looked at me with newfound respect.
âIâm sure you can do much more than just secretary work.
â
I smiled and said nothing more.
Time passed quickly.
Soon, it was night time.
I wanted to go back to my apartment after I finished my work, but Riley wanted me to stay.
âDebra, youâve done so much for me today.
Please stay for dinner.
Iâve cooked a lot of good food.
â
âBut I have something else to do.
â
âReally? Is it important?â Riley held my hand.
âCan you put it off for a while? I really want to thank you somehow.
â
Seeing the sincerity in her eyes, I had no choice but to agree.
Soon, Adam and the guests arrived.
I opened the door to welcome them.
When I was about to say hello to Adam, I found that the so-called important guests behind him were none other than Janiya and Caleb.
Debraâs POV:
âWhat the hell are you doing here, Debra?â Janiyaâs expression darkened the moment she saw me.
Caleb looked surprised, too.
We hadnât talked to each other since that fight in the hotel.
Today was the first time we met after that night.
âOh, what a coincidence! Welcome,â I replied indifferently and turned around to let them in.

But Janiya was unwilling to let me go.
She stomped toward me and demanded, âI said, why are you here? Who said you could come to Adamâs house?â
She was so aggressive regardless of the people present.
I glanced at her and calmly explained, âHe knows that you donât like me, so he specifically transferred me from his office to his home so that I could help his wife.
Arenât you satisfied with this arrangement?â
Janiya didnât reply.
She simply glared at me with unmasked rage.
I didnât say anything more.
I just Led them to the dining table.
Riley hadnât come out yet, as she was still busy cooking the final dish in the kitchen.
After Adam and Caleb took their seats, Janiya saw that I was about to sit down at the table with them, so she quickly stopped me.
âHey, you canât sit with us.
Riley mustâve asked you to stay for dinner so that you could serve her better than the servants here.
You might as well serve me tonight.
â
Her hostility toward me was always so painfully obvious.
She didnât even bother to try to cover it up.
Adam was aware that she hated me, so in order to avoid making a scene, he simply said, âDebra, just do as she says.
