Indeed, this scar was a result of my being attacked.
Adam immediately frowned, his nose wrinkling in disgust.
âDebra, howâd you get this scar?â he asked me in a low voice.
Fortunately, I was able to come up with a plausible excuse.
âI got into a car accident before.
I didnât have the money to have the scar removedâ¦â
Adam looked at me suspiciously.
âYouâd better not be lying to me.
â Maybe he didnât believe me because there wasnât anything about a car accident in the background information I had submitted to him.
âWhy would I lie to you?â I asked, pretending to look aggrieved.
Sure, this excuse wasnât perfect, but everything had happened so quickly that I couldnât think of a better lie.
Adam didnât say anything more.
He just looked into my eyes searchingly and then said gruffly, âWell, whatâre you waiting for? Cover it up now! Youâre embarrassing me!â
I looked around and found that many people were staring at me, whispering about my hideous scar.
My body stiffened for a moment.
I felt extremely embarrassed, so I immediately knelt down to pick up the shawl on the floor.
But before I could grab it, a red high-heeled shoe with small diamonds stepped down on the shawl.
When I Looked up, I saw a beautiful red dress, then a slender neck, and lastly, Janiyaâs beautiful face.

Although I disliked Janiya, even I had to admit that she was gorgeous.
In her bright red dress, she looked Like a blooming rose.
But her malicious smile ruined her delicate image.
âWhoops! My bad.
â
Looking down at me, Janiya smiled wickedly.
âI accidentally stepped on your shawl.
Youâre not mad at me, are you?â
âNot at all!â I held back my anger, forced a smile, and tried to yank back the shawl.
But the next second, I heard the sound of fabric ripping.
The shawl was torn by her sharp heel.
My mind went blank for a few seconds.
What would Adam do if I had to show this ugly scar to everyone here for the rest of the night? Would he feel humiliated?
Embarrassment, nervousness, and anger overwhelmed me in an instant.
I felt desperate at the thought that Adam might fire me as soon as we left this dinner.
âOh, Gosh! Iâm so clumsy! Iâm sorry, Debra.
I didnât mean to rip your shawl,â Janiya apologized to me insincerely, feigning an innocent expression,
The gloating smile on her face made me grit my teeth.
If it werenât for the circumstances, I wouldâve ripped her to shreds on the spot.
