âWhat a pity!â Sally showed a regretful expression, shaking her head sadly.
âIf it werenât for this scar, youâd be perfect.
â
âIt doesnât matter.
â I smiled casually, waving my hand.
âMaybe on a normal day, it doesnât matter, but in that dress, it does.
I wonder if thereâs a way to⦠Oh, I know!â Sallyâs eyes Lit up.
âWait for me here.
â
When she came back, she was carrying a white silk shawl in her hand.
She handed the shawl to me and said, âIâll lend it to you.
Itâll go well with your dress.
â
âThanks, Sally.
â
I took it and tied it around my shoulders.
The beautiful, slightly-sheer shawl not only perfectly covered my scar, but also made my dress looked less slutty.
Perfect!
âIt suits you perfectly!â Sally couldnât help but sigh happily.
What a kind-hearted soul! Whenever she smiled, she reminded me of Paula back home.
âSally, I canât thank you enough,â I said sincerely.
After parting ways with Sally, I went downstairs.
Adam was smoking a cigarette while Leaning against his car.
His expression was dark.
Apparently, he was tired of waiting for me.
But when he turned around and saw me, the dirty words he was about to spit at me got stuck in his throat.
At first he was stunned, and then he looked me from head to toe carefully.
Then, Adam softened his expression and coughed gruffly.
âYou look nice, Debra.
Come and sit with me in the back.
â
I was relieved.
Adamâs mood seemed to have improved, so I figured I was safe for the time being.
But I didnât want to sit in the back with him.
It was way too close for comfort.

Adam was a very cunning opponent.
He often made me feel very uncomfortable.
Unfortunately, I was already treading on thin ice with him, so I had no choice but to obey him.
I got in the car and gingerly sat next to him.
As expected, soon after the car started, Adam scooted close to me and asked, âDebra, what was your relationship with Caleb?â
While he spoke, he Looked at me with unmasked lust.
âNothing special.
I just met him once,â I muttered uneasily, inching away from Adam subtly.
Adam continued, âHow could it be nothing special if he still remembers you?â Gulping nervously, I didnât answer.
Adam didnât seem to notice my uneasiness, or perhaps he ignored it on purpose.
When he saw me shrank to the corner, he boldly closed the gap between us, until his face was mere inches away from mine.
