Chapter 48
I bit the bullet and pleaded, “You can deduct it from my salary.
I promise I’ll never make such a stupid mistake again.
I hope you can forgive me and give me another chance!”
Adam rested his chin on one hand and tapped his fingers on the desk with the other.
His expression was scheming, like a cunning fox, as he quickly weighed the pros and the cons
“Fine Adam picked up a bag from under his desk and threw it at me.
“Put this on.
You’re coming with me to a dinner party tonight.
”
“What’s this?” I squatted down and picked up the bag.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Inside lay a brand new dress.
“This is the Last chance I’m giving you,” Adam said as he looked me up and down with his two slits for eyes.
“I need a plus one for tonight’s charity dinner.
”
Then he raised his voice a little and said meaningfully, “If you can’t even do this well, pack up and Leave.
I don’t keep useless employees.
”
A trace of doubt flashed through my mind.
I remembered from my mission brief that Adam had a wife.
Why didn’t he just take her to the charity dinner?
But now, I didn’t have any other option but to agree to his request.
“Okay.
I won’t Let you down.
”
I took the bag and went straight to the bathroom to get changed.
To my horror, when I pulled the dress out of the bag, I found that it barely covered my skin.
It was body-hugging, had a low neckline, and was backless.
I shuddered, but I had no choice.
This was my last chance to keep working for Adam.
Albeit reluctant, I put on the dress.

I prayed that everything would go smoothly after tonight.
When I came out of the bathroom cubicle, I went straight to the mirror and began to put on some makeup.
It had been a while since the Last time I put on makeup.
But in such a revealing dress, only under the cover of makeup could I feel a Little sense of security.
“Wow!” someone exclaimed from behind me.
I turned around and saw my colleague, Sally Torres, coming over.
She cupped her face in her hands and exclaimed in awe, “Debra, you Look gorgeous!”
She looked me up and down and praised sincerely, “I didn’t know you were the type who would wear such s@xy clothes! But trust me, it looks good on you!”
I was a little shy.
“Thanks, Sally.
”
However, Sally’s praise abruptly ended.
She gasped and pointed at my shoulder in shock.
“Why do you have such a huge scar on your shoulder? What happened there?”
Debra’s POV:
Sally’s voice quivered as she stared at the horrifying scar on my shoulder.
Indeed, the scar was horrifically greyish brown, like an evil dragon curled up beneath my skin.
It happened when I was running for my life, and it took me a long time to recover after I joined the Xeric Pack.
Back then, Dr.
Kayden offered to have the scar removed, but I refused.
The scar was a reminder that I had lost Vicky that day.
If I had a chance, I was determined to kill Leonel myself.
I’d yank his heart out of his chest and use it to mourn for Vicky.
