Chapter 206
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
âWhy are you so focused on Carlos? A friend of Meganâs gave her a painting as a birthday gift. It was a
Landscape painting of the Qing
Dynasty. She wanted Carlos to verify it wasnât a fake.â
âOh? Carlos knows about antiques? I didnât know that.â
âHeâs seen a lot of them, so he more or less knows.â
Colleen pursed her Lips and didnât say anything. She wanted to go back to Debbie and tell her what
she just heard. After thinking about it, she let go of Curtisâ hand and asked, âDebbieâs alone on the
dance floor. Arenât you worried?â
âNope,â he replied.
In fact, Curtis wasnât worried at all. When they walked in, everyone had seen Debbie with Carlos. That
was enough to ensure that no one was going to mess with her even if they didnât know who she was.
Besides, all the guests at the party were good people. Debbie knew martial arts, too. She could take
care of herself. So Curtis was going to let her do what she wanted and have fun.
Hearing what Curtis said, Colleen didnât insist on going back to the dance floor and stayed at his side.
Later, two women invited Debbie to go sailing. She wanted to go. She also thought she should tell
Carlos about it in case he was worried
But he still hadnât come out of the room yet, so Debbie had to go alone.
Fortunately, before she stepped on the boat, she saw Colleen and invited her along. So Curtis also
knew where she was.
Once the two girls were aboard, Curtis told the pilot, âItâs late.
Donât go far. A circuit around this area will do.â
âYes, sir.â
There were quite a few people on the boat. Debbie didnât talk much with strangers, but because of her
lively and outgoing personality, she fit in very soon.
Musical instruments were available on the boat. Debbie took a guitar and played âNever Grow Oldâ for
everyone.
âI had a dream. Strange it may seem. It was my perfect day. Open my eyes, I realize, this is my perfect
day.
When the song was over, everyone was enthusiastically clapping, and made their enjoyment known.
âDebbie, if you become a superstar, Iâll go to your concert,â said one of the people on the boat.
âWhy did you waste your talents going to Economics and Management
School? You should have chosen a music school. You could be a pop star,â another observed.
But Debbie framed their comments as complimentary to Carlos.
She thought they were trying to suck up to Carlos, rather than actually praising her performance.
Theyâd been seen at the party together, after all.
After an hour, the boat came back and docked, but the party didnât end until after midnight. That was
when Debbie finally caught sight of her husband.
