When Harlan received my text, he immediately replied, âThat restaurant is near the rendezvous point, so Iâll park my car there.
Come out as soon as get the chance, and weâll leave after that.
â
âGot it.
â I agreed immediately.
It seemed things would go smoothly tonight.
Thinking of this, I felt a little relieved.
If all went well, we should be able to leave in one piece tonight.
As soon as Adam and I arrived at the restaurant, I heard a familiar, masculine voice greet us.
âWhat a coincidence!â Caleb suddenly stepped in front of us.
Adam was a little surprised, but he chuckled soon.
âAre you here alone?
Come and join us!â
Caleb agreed with a smile.
But when he looked at me, there was unmistakable coldness in his eyes.
And although the smile never left his face, it didnât feel sincere.

âCaleb, Letâs have some drinks.

Since Riley hadnât arrived yet, Adam didnât order dinner just yet.
Instead, he invited Caleb to drink with him.
The two chatted merrily.
It seemed that Adam didnât take Rileyâs divorce proposal seriously at all.
On the contrary, he joked, âCaleb, you really have a way with women.
Youâre able to fool around yet youâve managed to keep Debraâs heart.
â
âYouâre wrong.
Iâm the one who gets fooled easily.
â Caleb looked at me when he said this.
Although he didnât say my name, I couldnât shake off the feeling that he was talking about me.
But why? Why would he say that?
I was confused and secretly tugged at the hem of his suit with inquiring eyes, wanting to know what he meant.
But before he could respond, Riley appeared at the door.
âSorry, Iâm late.

Debraâs POV:
Riley was a little surprised to see both me and Caleb here, but out of politeness, she still sat down.
âIâm really sorry, Riley.
