Finally, Caleb let go of me and asked, âJaniya, whatâre you doing here?â
As he spoke, he abandoned me and walked leisurely to the she-wolf named Janiya.
His tone was softer and more affectionate.
âIâve been waiting for you in the car for so long,â Janiya complained in a small voice, pouting aggrievedly.
âI missed you so much, so I went in to look for you.
â
âm sorry for making you wait.
There was something I had to deal with,â Caleb explained naturally, as though he wasnât pinning me to a wall just now.
âDebra, this is Janiya Barton.
â
Call it a womanâs sixth sense, but as soon as Janiya heard his introduction, she immediately turned to look at me with strong dissatisfaction and vigilance in her eyes.
But the next second, she put on a cute expression and held Calebâs hand intimately.
âDarling, who is this woman?â
As she spoke, she practically wrapped her body around Calebâs Like a snake.
Although I felt uncomfortable, I still managed to put on a professional -but fake-smile.
âHello, miss.
Iâm Adam Cooperâs secretary, Debra Clarkson.
Iâm responsible for arranging Calebâs check-in at the hotel.
â âOh, donât let us bother you.
â
Janiya refused without skipping a beat.
âHe already has me.
IâLL do it for him.
You can go now.
â
Truth be told, I wasnât happy about this, but at least I could finally escape from Caleb.
As I sighed in relief, Caleb seemed to see right through me, because he suddenly smiled at me evilly like a child playing a nasty prank.
I immediately had a bad feeling about this.
Sure enough, the next second he threw his car keys to me and said, âJaniya, you and I will be doing something else in the car, so let her drive us back to St.
Yves Hotel.

Janiya blushed, but she didnât protest.
âOkay, Caleb,â she said shyly.
âDebra, please drive safely.
â
My smile froze on my face.
What a damn coincidence! The hotel they were going to was the same one I had checked into!
I couldnât help but curse all the deities inwardly.
Well, I could just check in to another hotel, but Elena was still in there.
I had to be careful.
I couldnât let them know about Elena.
The drive back to the hotel was a little bumpy thanks to the haphazardly constructed road, and the car would jolt from time to time.
But this didnât affect Janiyaâs mood.
She was busy enjoying herself, sticking close to Caleb as though she was reluctant to separate from him even for just a second.
Through the rearview mirror, I could see that Janiya wasnât on guard against me.
She just kept complaining to Caleb, whining, âHoney, whyâd you want to come to this shabby town? Thereâs nothing here, and the reads are terrible.
This isnât fun at all!â
Well, good question.
That was also what I was wondering.
I wanted to eavesdrop on Calebâs answer, but then I met his gaze in the rearview mirror.
