Chapter 1299

Private Club? I’ll call Carlos and ask him to lend me his private booth,” announced Stephanie in a

proud tone.

“Really? Carlos’ private booth? I can’t wait!” the other women exclaimed. Their cheers reverberated

through the hallway.

As Debbie listened, they seemed to be getting close. They rounded the corner and were face to face

with her. There were about four of them.

Stephanie’s friends were surprised to see Debbie. One of them whispered to the others, “Wait…isn’t

that Debbie?”

“The singer? Yeah, looks like her. I hear that she and Carlos.. another woman whispered back, winking

at her friend. For Stephanie’s sake, she didn’t finish her sentence, but everyone understood what she

meant.

Debbie’s and Stephanie’s eyes met. Debbie was mad at Carlos a moment ago for he had changed

their daughter’s Last name on a form without consulting her. But now she flashed a meaningful smile.

Stephanie sensed provocation in that smile. With a frown, she passed by

Debbie. Neither of them spoke.

When Stephanie and her friends walked into the elevator, Debbie took out her phone, unblocked

Carlos’ number and called him.

No sooner had Carlos stepped into the meeting room than his phone rang.

He was Known as a cold and emotionless man, but a smile crept over his face when he caught sight of

the caller ID. He answered the phone and stepped out.

“Hi,” he said softly. That was such a shift in tone. The rest of the meeting attendees Looked at each

other in wonder. They had never seen their boss so tender.

“Was that really him? You never hear him sound Like that.” “Who called?

Was it Stephanie?” someone else asked.

“Haha! Right! You ever hear Carlos talk to Stephanie Like that?”

“It’s gotta be. She’s his fiancee, right?”

More than a few of the men there knew of Debbie’s recent association with Carlos. They simply smiled

and kept silent. It wasn’t their place to air their boss’ dirty laundry.

To annoy Stephanie, Debbie decided to temporarily forget what Carlos did.

“Hey, old man, I need a favor.”

“Fire away.” He always found it hard to say no to her

“My contract with Elmer’s company expired. And I made a grip of money shilling from them. So I think a

thank-you dinner is just what the doctor ordered. Can I borrow your private booth at Orchid Private

Club?”

‘Elmer?’ Carlos thought. That name rang a bell.

“The guy who cost you six million?”

Debbie had almost forgot her Last dinner with Elmer.
