Chapter 460

“Honestly, how many times do I have to tell you? Jared and I are just friends! We’ve known each other

for years. Now you’re asking me to stop talking to him all of a sudden? No can do!” Then she turned to

Jared and said, “Sorry, buddy. I can’t save you. It seems you’ll have to go home and face your dad. Or

you’ll Lose me forever.”

“Noooooco!” Jared was desperate.

Kasie, Kristina, and Dixon burst into Laughter.

“Emmett has already called Jasper,” Carlos said and hung up.

‘What?’ Debbie looked at her phone, confused. ‘He called already? So

Jared won’t get beaten by his dad?

Why didn’t he tell me earlier? So he was pulling my leg the whole time!

Auuugh!’ Debbie opened WeChat and sent Carlos a message.

“Honey, Love you.” At the end of the message was a Kiss Mark emoji.

“Your husband won’t help?” asked Jared. He had decided that if Carlos didn’t help him, he would fix

Debbie up with a ton of guys.

“I think… he will. Maybe. Just wait.” Debbie wasn’t sure.

The Shining International Plaza was only about ten-odd minutes from

Jared’s home, if you took a car.

Jared was still sweating bullets when he went up to the fifth floor of the Alioth Building. He could think

of little else, and picked at his food. He was too worried that Jasper would swoop in with his men, carry

him into the car, and then he’d really get it. But by the time he finished his meal, everyone knew that

Jared was safe.

Jared almost cried with relief. He placed one arm on Debbie’s shoulder and said, “You have no idea

how much I want to kiss you and your husband right now.”

“Probably not a good idea. Carlos doesn’t swing that way, and he won’t be happy if you kiss Deb,”

Kasie reminded him.

“Okay, suddenly I don’t feel like kissing anyone,” declared Jared

Everyone looked at him and shook their heads

The group separated later. When Debbie came back to the manor, she found the overcoat Carlos had

told her about, and put it on. By the time she fixed her makeup, it was almost time to go. The dinner

party would be starting soon.

The dinner was in a private booth on the fifth floor of Alioth

Building. By the time Debbie and Carlos turned up, everybody else was already there waiting for them.

After some pleasantries, they were led to the seats of honor. Somebody had already pulled the chair

out for Carlos. Yet Carlos didn’t sit down immediately. He said to Debbie, “The heat’s on. Take off your

coat, or you’ll start sweating.”

Debbie blushed and did as he asked.

Everyone there was a successful businessman. One was more slippery than another. When they saw

how considerate Carlos was to Debbie, they all started sucking up to her. Obviously, if Carlos was

deferent to her, then she must be important indeed.

One man took her coat. A second pulled the chair out for her. A third poured her some wine while a

fourth filled her water glass.
