But before Janiya could do so, I caught her by the wrist with one hand and slapped her hard with the other.
Her face slowly turned red.
âDebra, you f@cking bitch! How dare you Lay a finger on me? Donât you know who the f@ck I am?â Janiya covered her cheek and shrieked at me, her pretty face contorted in anger.
I pretended to recognize her all of a sudden and gasped in surprise.
âJaniya, is that you? Oh, my God! Iâm so sorry.
You look so much older than before, so I didnât recognize you just now.
I thought you were just some crazy woman who broke in to make trouble.
â
âWhat did you just say to me, you bitch?â
Janiya was so angry that she raised her hand to slap me.
But before she could make a move, I warned her lightly, âThis is the mayorâs office.
Everyoneâs watching.
Arenât you worried about your image?â
Only then did Janiya notice that many employees were staring straight at us.
She was so embarrassed that her face turned red and she quickly withdrew her hand.
âIâm here to discuss something important with Adam,â Janiya said through gritted teeth.
âAnd Iâm sure that Caleb will be coming as well.
Iâm warning you-youâd better not come to the meeting room later, or else I wonât let you go!â
âOkay.
â
I pretended to obey her, but truth be told, I wanted to know what was going to happen at the meeting.

Now that Janiya and Caleb had fallen out, it wouldnât be easy for Caleb to buy the town.
Todayâs meeting would definitely be very interesting.
After Janiya stormed off, I patted Sallyâs arm and said, âItâs okay,
Sally.
I slapped her for you; an eye for an eye.
Iâll go and find some ice for your face.
Itâll lessen the swelling.

Sallyâs eyes were red from fighting back tears.
She was so angry that she wanted to cry.
Although her family wasnât rich or powerful, her parents had raised her lovingly.
She had never been beaten Like this
âDebra, Janiyaâs one crazy bitch.
Howâd you put up with her before?â
Sally looked at me aggrievedly.
I squeezed her hand reassuringly and said, âIâve been through a lot.
Dealing with her was nothing to me.
Sally, in this world, nothingâs more important than your own life, okay? Always remember that.

âIs that so?â
At this time, Calebâs low voice came from behind me.
