Edge Pack earlier, right?â
Caleb nodded with a faint smile.
âThatâs right.
I also hope that the cooperation will go smoothly from here on out
I wasnât an idiot.
I could tell that they were talking about the sale of the town.
Complicated feelings surged in my heart.
What was I going to do?
If things went on like this, something was bound to go wrong sooner or later.

After bidding Adam goodbye, Caleb and I left the mayorâs office.
As soon as we got in his car, I hurriedly checked on Caleb.
Fortunately, he was recovering nicely, and he looked fine to me.
I let out a sigh of relief when I was sure that he was okay.
Caleb didnât protest when I Lifted his shirt to check if he was hurt anywhere.
On the contrary, he was practically beaming at me.
When I met his smug gaze, I felt helpless.
âCaleb, you havenât recovered yet.
Why did you come here? You couldâve blown our cover!â
I still had the shivers when I recalled what happened just now.
But Caleb shrugged.
âIâm not worried.
Iâd rather be there for you than not know if youâre in danger or not.

Adam wouldnât have just let you go!â
âFine, fine, Iâm sorry.

I knew it was meaningless to argue with him, so I wisely changed the topic.
âCaleb, what did you ask Carlos to show to Adam just now? Why did he get so angry?â
Sitting in the driverâs seat, Carlos butted in.
âItâs better if you donât know.

But Carlosâ words of caution only served to make me even more curious.
