Chapter 607
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Carlos flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said indifferently, âIt has nothing to do with you.â
Poor at reading moods, Damon consoled Megan, âItâs okay. Debbbie is an odd woman. As far as I
know, she has only a few friends. Besides, our
Megan is so adorable. I canât see how anyone could not Like you. Donât think about it too much.â He
stroked her hair gently.
But the comments rubbed two of his friends the wrong way. Carlos looked at him with burning eyes and
asked, âWho is the odd woman? I dare you to repeat it.â
Gruffly, Curtis snatched the glass of wine from Damonâs hand, poured the wine into his own glass, and
snapped, âBoy, you have the nerve to speak ill of Debbie before Carlos! Try that one more time, and I
swear, heâll beat the crap out of you!â
Instantly, Damon regretted his mistake. Why would he cross Carlos? To make up for his error, he went
to the wine cabinet and brought the other glasses of wine that Curtis had poured for them.
âIâm sorry,
Carlos. You know how clumsy I sometimes get in expressing myself. Guys, letâs forget that dry joke and
drink.â
They clinked glasses and settled down to some chitchat.
Turning to Curtis, Carlos asked, âIâve already gone through all the formalities for Debbie to study
abroad. How about you?â
But Curtis, somewhat not in favor of the idea, made an incredulous face and asked, âYou want her to
go there alone?â
Stubbing out the cigarette, Carlos shook his head.
âNo.â
Although he was mad at Debbie for her refusal to have his baby and her insistence on taking birth
control pills, he didnât want to have her study abroad alone.
While the men were chatting, Megan went to the bathroom, inserted an anonymous SIM card into her
phone, and dialed a number.
When she came back to Carlosâ office, the men were almost off, heading to the Orchid Private Club
together.
Wesley was the first to notice something was not right with Megan.
âYou look pale. Whatâs wrong?â he asked.
Megan was startled to see everyone staring at her with curious eyes.
Flustered, she looked away and covered her face with both palms.
âNothing. Iâm perfectly okayâ¦â
Since she Looked calmer and more composed when she dropped her hands, no one around bothered
to press further. Briefly, Carlos consulted with his secretary about some work related issues, and then
they all left the Hilton Groupâs offices together.
They had hardly left the building when the employees began to gossip about them.
âI envy Megan so much. Lucky girl! Sheâs surrounded by some of the finest eligible bachelors all the
time.â
âNow, sheâs in the company of not one, not two, but four high-class men, everyone eager to please her.
How Lucky of her!â
