Riley the truth for the time being.
âIâm afraid Adamâs busy right now.
Heâs in a meeting with a client.
â I averted my gaze.
âI donât know how long the meeting will Last.
â
âNo problem.
â Riley didnât bat an eyelash.
She just took out a document from her bag.
âI donât want to make things difficult for anyone here.
But I have to give this to Adam personally.
â
My eyes wandered over to the document in her hand.
It was the divorce agreement.
âAre you planning to give it to him right now?â I asked a little nervously.
To my relief, Riley shook her head.
âDonât worry.
Iâll just wait here for him to finish his meeting.
When they finish, Iâll hand it over to him myself.

I forced a smile, feeling caught between a rock and a hard place.
Adam and his mistress were flirting in the meeting room right now,

I couldnât stand it, so I decided to tell Riley the truth.
But before I could open my mouth, the door to the meeting room swung open and Janiya strode out.
As though she didnât recognize Riley, she simply walked past her.

Pretending not to hear her, I started to walk away.
But Janiya walked faster and stopped in front of me.

Did you take it?â
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, realizing that she was making trouble out of nothing again.
Ever since she had fallen out with Caleb, she became more openly disgusted with me.
It seemed that picking on me had become part of her daily routine.
But I was no pushover.
I looked at her coldly and replied, âIf you suspect that I stole it, then call the police.
Have them come to the mayorâs office.
â
Janiya had been humiliated in front of the police several times already.
She looked at me angrily and said through gritted teeth, âIs it really necessary to call the police over such a trifle? I can, however, report you to Adam.
But since Iâm so generous, Iâm willing to give you a chance to turn yourself in.
If you donât, then Iâl1-â
âWait a second.
â Riley cut Janiya off abruptly.
She suddenly stepped in between us and stared at the earring in
Janiyaâs hand.
âWhen did you lose your earring?â
Janiya frowned at Riley with a puzzled look
