Chapter 40
“But things aren’t good here, Paula,” I said seriously.
“Elena and I are trapped in Roz Town.
I was planning to have someone send Elena back secretly, but Adam suddenly put up a sentry at the edge of the town.
We can’t Leave anymore.
”
“What? Why?” Paula jumped up from the sofa in shock.
“I don’t know.
” I shook my head at a loss.
“But I think something big is going on.
”
Debra’s POV: I spoke with Paula for a little while Longer.
We discussed possible solutions regarding the matter of Elena under Adam’s stricter watch.
“Honey, I have an idea!” After Paula thought for a long time, her eyes suddenly lit up.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“I have an aunt who Lives in Roz Town.
Her name’s Anna Perkins.
She’s a teacher in their kindergarten.
You can let her take care of Elena so that no one will find out.
”
“Would that be okay with her?”
“Yes.
She’s very nice and absolutely trustworthy.
” Paula promised confidently.
Finally, I sighed in relief.
The following day, I met up with Anna in a cafe near the hotel.
Anna was a bit chubby, and she had a kind-Looking face.
She greeted me and Elena warmly and reassured me, “Don’t worry about Elena.
I’ll take good care of her.
”
Thank you so much, Anna.
” “Oh, no need to thank me.
It’s no big deal.

Before seeing Elena off, I squatted down and ruffled her hair dotingly.
“Elena, this is Anna.
I’ll be very busy in work these next few days, so you’ll be staying with her for a while.
She teaches the kids in kindergarten, and you’ll be joining them.
I’ll visit you when I’m free.
Okay?”
“Okay!”
Elena nodded without hesitation, her eyes shining brightly.
After Anna took Elena away, I went to the hotel reception to check out.
“Debra, where are you going to stay?” A familiar voice sounded from behind me.
I froze and turned around slowly, only to meet Caleb’s inquisitive gaze.
“I want to Live somewhere nearer the mayor’s office,“ I answered in the most casual tone I could muster, “It’ll be more convenient that way.
”
“But staying here would be more convenient for you to entertain me, right?” Caleb slowly strode to me, his eyes twinkling.
“You have to serve me well.
After all, isn’t that what Adam ordered you to do?”
“I’m sorry.
” I Lowered my head, bit the bullet, and Lied through my teeth.
“I can’t afford to stay in a hotel.
I’m just a secretary who earns minimum wage.
But don’t worry.
Even though I won’t be staying in this hotel, I’m sure I can still serve you.
”
“Is that so?”
Caleb stared at me intently, as though he wanted to find a flaw in my expression.
