Chapter 625

Zelda to start the car.

When the manager of the show came out to the parking lot, Carlos’ car was already gone.

Cautiously, he asked the woman standing there with an awkward expression on her face, “Miss

Gomez, Carlos left because…”

Portia regained her composure and answered, “He had to Leave for work.”

“I see,” the man replied. Then he pried, “Miss Gomez, are you a close friend of Carlos’?”

Portia cast him a cold look. The manager grinned and shut up.

Since Carlos had left, Portia decided not to go back to the show. She called the driver and asked him to

pick her up.

When Debbie arrived at the gate of Kasie’s block of flats, she told the driver with embarrassment that

she didn’t have any money.

The cabbie was annoyed.

“Are you screwing with me? Nurse, don’t you know you have to pay for the ride?”

Debbie smiled awkwardly.

“Just a minute. Can I borrow your phone? I’LL call my friend and ask her to meet me here. She can pay

you.”

Left with no other option, the cabbie reluctantly handed Debbie his phone. It was either that, or risk not

getting paid. At this point, he still wasn’t sure if he would.

“Kasie, where are you?” she asked, once Kasie answered.

“Outside. Glad you’re awake. What’s up? Kristina and I went to the hospital to see you this afternoon,

but you were snoozing, so we left without waking you up.”

Hearing that Kasie wasn’t home, Debbie was flustered.

“You’re outside?

Where? I took a cab to your place, but I have no money to pay the fare.

I’m at the entrance to your block.”

“What? Emmett and I are having dinner outside,” Kasie replied. Then

Debbie heard her say to Emmett, “Emmett, don’t answer your phone yet.

Tomboy went to my place. Let’s head back now.” When Kasie answered

Debbie’s call, Emmett’s phone started ringing too.

Debbie asked, “Have you eaten yet? If you’re not finished, I can find you at the restaurant- if you don’t

mind me being the third wheel.”

There was a moment of quiet on the phone. Then Emmett said on Kasie’s phone, “Debbie, we’re on

our way back. Tell the cabbie we’ll be right there.”
