Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Chapter: 150
Besides appointing her as the lawful owner of the club, heâd also gradually turn more and more shares
to her. Whichever the case, sheâd be taking home huge bonuses.
Debbie didnât know how to turn his tempting offer down. The business offer aside, his chiseled Looks
were so inviting, she feared sheâd give in to him at any moment.
With a blushed face, she leaned back to keep him at armâs Length.
âThereâs no pressure to appoint me the owner. That points me in a bad light. Iâm not a gold digger. How
about this? As long as you donât make me the owner, I wonât divorce you,â she offered. To be honest, it
was not a bad idea to have a husband Like Carlos. He was handsome, rich and powerful.
âJust the right response that I wanted, â thought Carlos. He heaved a sigh of relief that he managed to
have her rule out divorce. However he kept calm and composed.
âDonât bother bargaining with me. I donât think youâre capable of it yet. I can assure you that youâll be
the owner of the club. And forget about the divorce, as thatâs impossible.â
âNo! Why is he being so bossy?â Debbie rolled her eyes.
Soon, the durian pizza was served. The aroma made her drool as she picked up the pizza cutter in a
hurry.
Just as she was about to cut the pizza, Carlos took the cutter from her hand.
By the time she raised her head to object, she realized he had already rolled his sleeves up. He cut the
pizza in an elegant manner.
Then he picked up a slice of pizza and put it onto Debbieâs plate. The little gesture touched her. To her,
such small acts of kindness meant a lot.
All her life, she had always been an independent girl, who was used to living on her own. Apart from
her Late father, she had never depended on a soul. As such, that simple courtesy from Carlos was
something she appreciated.
Much of the time, the men in her life tended to be cautious about her independent nature and they
ended up not being much helpful. For example, her best buddy, Jared, had never treated her Like a girl
who could use a bit of chivalry.
As for Hayden, whom she had dated for two years, they had never eaten anything fancy together. In
fact, she had been the one who provided everything in that relationship. ALL that Hayden did was to
drain her, always taking things from her. A boring, self-serving man.
âWhy not eat?â asked Carlos, who had already sliced the pizza into pieces.
When he realized Debbie was distracted, he dropped the cutter just hard enough to jerk her back to the
present.
Embarrassed at her lapse, Debbie tried to act calm as she picked up her knife and fork. After several
bites, she noticed that Carlos didnât eat.
âPlease have some,â she offered.
Then she stretched her hand to pick up Carlosâ knife and fork which he had pushed away. But he
stopped her.
âNo need for that,â he politely declined her offer.
In reality, he was not a big fan of durian. Almost loathed the stuff.
âBut I ordered for both of us.â It was a large-sized pizza, a little too much for one person, in addition to
the other food she had ordered.
Looking her straight in the eye, Carlos reached out his hand and gently took her fork with the piece of
pizza on it.
A broad smile forming on his lips, he took a careful bite, catching
Debbie by surprise once more. she stammered.
