Chapter 687
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Beside Carlos was Megan. Colleen looked at him with a raised brow.
âCarlos, where is my good friend, Debbie?â This was supposed to be a get-together of Carlos and his
closest friends. However, instead of
Debbie, he brought Megan along. Colleen was pissed.
Carlos lit a cigarette and took a drag. After exhaling the smoke, he said, âSheâs home.â
Colleen knew that Carlos and Debbie had a huge fight after Debbie had pushed Megan into the river.
Things were complicated between the couple right now. So, Colleen didnât feel the need to pretend to
be cordial with Megan anymore.
âCarlos, I have to say, you are in the wrong here.
This is an occasion for the people closest to you. Why didnât you bring
Debbie? You should learn from Wesley. He brought his girlfriend. As for
Damon, he gets a free pass. He has always been a playboy. Even when his wife is about to give birth
to their baby, he is here messing around instead of taking care of her at home. He has made his own
bed and he will have to lie in it.â
Damon snorted and replied defensively, âDonât get me wrong now. Your man said that we were having
a get-together, so my wife gave me permission to have some fun. Since they all had a woman with
them, how could I come alone?â
Eyes fixed on Colleen, and one hand propped against her chin, the girl sitting next to Wesley explained
in a low voice, âYou misunderstood my relationship with Wesley. Iâm not his girlfriend.â
Demanding an explanation from Wesley, Colleen was irritated by his silence and the way he avoided
her unblinking eyes. At long last, obviously running out of patience, she asked, âHow can that be
possible? You know, youâre the first girl Wesley has ever brought to-â
âColleen.â Finally Wesley interrupted her.
âWerenât you asking about
Debbie?â he snapped, eager to change the subject.
âOK. Alright! Carlos, you havenât answered my question yet.â At
Wesleyâs hint, Colleen pretended to realize she was off the topic.
Promptly, she tuned her gaze to Carlos, the look in her eyes unrelenting, waiting for him to answer her
earlier question
âSheâs at home, expecting all the papers to be ready, so that she can go abroad,â said Carlos,
determined to keep everything as laconic as possible.
As he spoke, Curtis could see the gloom on his face. Of course, he knew
Carlos and Debbie were still not reconciled yet. So in an attempt to broach the subject with caution, he
said, âIâve heard that Hilton
Groupâs business has been booming Lately. The employees have been working extra hours. I hope you
havenât been sleeping in your office.â
He added that Last bit with slight emphasis. The gist of his question was to find out why Carlos had not
been sleeping at home. Then he added his piece of advice.
âYou donât have to burst a nerve working overtime, man. If itâs for money, do you think itâs wise of you to
drive yourself so hard at work that you donât even have time to return home?â
Hearing his question, the others exchanged a look
