What a Lame excuse! I doubted Riley would believe a word I said.
But I really couldnât come up with a better excuse on the spot.
All the office staff knew that I often went to Adamâs office.
They probably knew about my relationship with him.
They all looked at me with open disdain.
âOh, is that so? Is that really the case?â
Riley looked very calm.
Even though so many people were staring straight at her, she barely flinched.
âThen since you donât know when and where you lost the earring, why did you assume that Debra stole it?â
I didnât know how to respond to that.
But Riley refused to let me go.
Instead, she narrowed her eyes at me slightly and continued, âYouâve accused Debra of doing something she didnât do more than once.
â
Rileyâs voice was still calm and gentle, but I felt there was a sharp blade hidden in it.
âPlease apologize to her right now and promise you wonât make things difficult for her again.
â
I was shocked.
How could Riley fight against me for Debra?
Wasnât she supposed to be a pushover?

And this was the second time she had sided with that bitch!
I bit my lip angrily and clenched my fists in silence.
Damn it!
What the hell did Debra do to make Riley so protective of her?
And that damned Caleb-he mustâve also been bewitched by her!
âWell? Donât you have something you want to say?â
Rileyâs gentle but domineering voice brought me back to my senses
I glanced around and noticed that everyone, including Riley and Debra, was staring at me.
Their eyes were full of disgust and anticipation, as though they were holding a silent trial for me.
It felt so suffocating.
I had half a mind to ask Adam to come to my rescue, but I quickly decided against it.
The bastard only cared about himself.
Even if I asked him for help, heâd only force me to apologize.
I was left with no choice.
âFine! Iâm sorry, Debra,â I said through gritted teeth.
In front of everyone, I bowed my head and apologized to her.
âI was wrong.
I shouldnât have accused you.
I wonât do it again.
