In the afternoon, Caleb showed up at the office for a meeting with Adam.
The two discussed in private in the meeting room for a long time.
I couldnât help but suspect that they were talking about something related to my investigation, so I looked for an excuse to enter the meeting room.
âMr.
Cooper, Mr.
Wright, Iâve brought you some coffee.
â
To buy some time, I moved as slowly as possible and took my time pouring their coffee.
Of course, I was hoping to eavesdrop on their conversation.
Unfortunately, Adam was very impatient.
Before long, he turned to me and snapped, âIf you have nothing else to do, pick up Luca, my son, from school.
â
Although I was extremely reluctant, there was nothing I could do but nod obediently.
âOf course.
â
However, as soon as I turned around, I heard Caleb suddenly say, âWe should call it a day.
Letâs talk about the rest some other time.
Thereâs something else on my plate right now, so I must take my leave.
â For some reason, I had a bad feeling about this.
Sure enough, the next moment, he stood up and followed me out.
âDebra, wait.
â He stopped in front of me, blocking my way.
âCarlos will pick up Adamâs son.
I need you to go somewhere with me.
â
Debraâs POV:
âI donât want to bother you with such a trifle.
Donât worry.
I can pick Luca up myself.
â
I refused Caleb decisively and then bypassed him.
I took a detour to the parking lot, hoping to avoid him.
Unexpectedly, I found that one of the tires was flat.
And Caleb was standing in front of my car, looking at me calmly.
âDid you do this?â I demanded indignantly.

âWhat do you think of me? Iâm not that immature.
â Despite his protests, Caleb smiled cheekily.
It was as though he enjoyed seeing me mad.
âI donât believe you.
â
âThereâs nothing I can do if you donât believe me,â he said with a nonchalant shrug.
âHow are you going to pick up Luca without a car? I guess youâll have to come with me.
â
I kicked the flattened tire in frustration and then looked at his bright smile.
There was nothing I could do but compromise.
âWeâre going to the kindergarten together to pick up Luca.
I need to get him home safely first.
Weâll discuss other things after.
â
The reason why I said this was that I didnât trust Carlos.
âOkay, no problem,â Caleb agreed readily.
I got in his car and fastened my seat belt.
As the car roared to life, I unlocked my phone and tapped on the Location Adam had sent me.
Huh?
