Caleb's sight lingers on Melanie's disappearing silhouette as she hastens towards the Apple Store and he can't help but feel a mix of wrath and curiosity.

"It was just sex, ”

"Don't read too much into it." Melanie’s words stick in his thoughts as he sees her disappear in the mob.

“She is hiding something... Her emotions run deeper than she admits,” Caleb mutters

“It has to run way deeper than she is letting on” Caleb's thoughts churn as his grasp on the steering wheel tightens, his mind racing with questions as he parks the car properly.

“Why did she shut down the conversation?”

“What was she afraid to reveal?” Different questions flood through his train of thought again.

With a long breath, Caleb steadies himself and walks out of the car. He takes his time surveying the crowded retail atmosphere before making his way to the Apple Store.

As he enters the store, he sees Melanie scanning smartphones, her countenance intent, so he approaches her gently, not wanting to shock her.

    “This is the second time you are trying to make me discuss this issue today, and I see what you are doing but I won’t fall for your trap” Melanie reads the room, refusing to not only give Him an answer but also stop walking side and side with him as she hurries to their room.Caleb makes a mental note to continue to find out things that will break down Melanie’s walls completely, but he doesn't push the issue further as she has seen through him.As Caleb and Melanie return to their hotel, Caleb's mind remains focused on the lead about Shirley."Riverview Gas & Go," Caleb mutters to himself, recalling the name of the gas station where Shirley's car was spotted as he set down the shopping bags."Everything okay?" Melanie notices Caleb's distraction and she asks him."Just thinking about the lead on Shirley." Caleb nods."What's the plan?" Melanie's expression turns serious.“I'll get my team to review the security footage from Riverview Gas & Co to see if we can identify any suspects."

  • Chased By My Ex's Billionaire Boss   Hostage situation

    Caleb and Melanie drive to the shopping mall instead of going straight to the apartment where they think Shirley is being held hostage because Caleb thinks it won’t make any sense to just storm in without a plan, so Ryder and the other team members wait for them at the shopping mall for them to discuss their plans extensively and as soon as Melanie and Caleb arrive, they locate their people on the last floor of food court where Ryder reserved in advance for the meeting.“Alright, what is the plan?” Caleb asks, getting straight to business.“I feel that since the victim is being held hostage in the warehouse on 12th Oakland Lane, just a block from this shopping mall, we will move in quietly, probably in groups of twos or threes to avoid detection” Ryder informs everybody even though they are privileged to the information of where Shirley is being held hostage.“I hope you know that I won’t be allowing you to leave me behind here right?” Melanie’s eyes lock on Caleb.“You are not necess

    Location: Blackwood, Orion. Alistair makes it a point of duty after being bribed by his best friend, Caleb, to get out of bed early so that he can ensure that the project with the Sinclairs does not flop.

    After the small talk between Caleb and Melanie, he talks her in and encourages her to get some rest because he can tell that the anesthesia hasn't worn off completely. After she finally drifts into sleep, Caleb watches her sleep for a while before he returns to the waiting area so that he won't disturb her, but in getting there, his phone buzzes in his pocket, and he gets it out to silence the phone so that Melanie will not be disturbed but on getting the phone out, Alistair’s name flashes on the screen, so he excuses himself, stepping out of Melanie’s room into the hospital corridor. “Hey, Alistair,” Caleb answers, his voice low. He walks away from Melanie’s door, noticing a larger crowd lingering outside Melanie’s door. Hospital staff, visitors, and what looks like reporters mingled, their faces a blur of curiosity but he doesn’t think much of it, assuming it was just the hospital activity so he focuses on Alistair’s voice, listening intently. “I’ve been trying to reach you, Ca

"I need you to mobilize the other stewards to help get my Wife's things out of my car and clear out Benjamin's room have her things relocated to his room and completely change the interior décor of the room to white interior, accompanied by lilac touches, within the next two hours, but make sure that you get it done within two hours," Caleb instructs. "Is there anything else you need me to help you with?" Jenkins inquires as he quickly pens down Caleb's instructions so he won't miss out on any.“Now that I think about it, don’t arrange her things in Benjamin’s room as of yet, just send them to my room first, then when we leave the house, you will pick up her things from my room and place her in Benjamin’s former room,” Caleb adds.“Where should we relocate the se

    “Wait, what?” Melanie pauses, as she has just started her meal, and she suddenly pauses, her fork hovering mid-air. Her eyes widen, and she can feel her heart skip a beat. “Are you serious?” she asks Caleb who is busy observing her expression, barely able to believe the words she just heard. The shock is so intense that she almost drops her fork. “Yo…yo…you…I’m kidding,” Caleb lies and Melanie exhales in relief, that she starts massaging her chest that is rising and falling with her palm, as if that will quiet down the thumping of her heart in the rib cage of her chest. “Is that how much pressure the thought of not being married to me brings you?” Caleb throws the question at her because he wants to judge what her reaction will look like when she finally tells him. “Are you joking?” Melanie questions him, after hissing at him. “Or did you think that was funny?” she presses and he just shakes his head. “Ever since I broke up with Alex, the thought of being stuck i

Instead, he turns and opens the door, expecting Melanie to follow him. “Come on,” he says, his voice firm. “Where are we going?” She asks but Caleb just keeps on walking. It is until they are outside, walking towards the car, that Caleb finally answers her. “We are going to Ryan’s house,” he says, his voice neutral and Melanie’s eyes widen in shock. “What?

Just as it seems like the argument between Melanie and Caleb is about to escalate, Sophia clears her throat and drops her clutch on the antique glass table. Sophia is dressed to the nines in a sleek black pencil grown and red stilettos heels, her silky black hair cascading down her back. “Caleb, darling… since she doesn’t want to talk to you, I am here ready to talk to you, so let’s catch up because we have so much to talk about!” Sophia exclaims, her eyes lighting up as she sees Caleb’s attention on her, she rushes over to him, throwing her arms around him in a tight hug to mark her territory in front of Melanie.
