Chapter 57: Chapter 57

We had moved from the center of the dance floor to the edge, and the dazzling light was no longer focused on us.

My heart, which was aflame with desire just now, had cooled down.

“I don’t want anything from you,” I said calmly.

“I just want you to stop making trouble for me.

I just want to work for Adam in peace.

Stop getting in my way.

”

“Adam’s a cunning old fox.

You’ll only suffer if you work for him.

” Caleb seemed to be very dissatisfied with my answer.

“It’s none of your business.

I know what I’m doing,” I said to him icily.

Caleb’s expression darkened.

He looked at me seriously and said, “Debra, don’t ruin your own life.

If you take my money, you can start over.

Stop being so stubborn.

”

Ruin my own Life?

What the hell did he mean by that? Did he think I was selling my body to Adam?

“Caleb, you haven’t changed at all,” I said in a low voice, shaking my head in disappointment.

He was always so self-righteous, ruthless, and selfish.

Why did I ever hope that he would change?

“Did I say something wrong?” Caleb’s eyes flashed with anger.

“Don’t you know what Adam’s like by now? Yet you still want to be his secretary.

Isn’t that a surefire way to ruin your life?”

I sneered coldly.

Even after finding out that he was wrong about me, he still had a prejudice against me.

“I don’t need you to tell me how to live my life.

You just need to think about yourself.

“ I pushed him away angrily.

Just then, the music came to an end.

Caleb staggered backwards, staring at me darkly.

“Debra, you’re really something,” he said through gritted teeth.

Neither of us said anything more.

We were at a stalemate.

Overwhelmed and angry, I wanted to run away from this place.

But I couldn’t let Adam know that Caleb and I had argued, so I had to stay put and remain by Caleb’s side.

The banquet was very lively.

A lot of guests kept glancing at us from time to time.

My mood became more and more irritable, and my legs started to hurt from standing in heels for too long.

Every second at this wretched banquet was torture to me.

When the banquet finally ended, I sighed in relief and relaxed a little.

When I went to find Adam, I found him in a drunken heap at one of the tables.

I had to ask the driver to help him stumble to the car.

Before leaving, Adam grabbed my arm and ordered, “Escort Caleb back to the hotel.

Remember to take good care of him, okay?”

I felt helpless.

“Okay.
