Chapter 696

She immediately clutched at Curtis’ arm and huddled for cover behind him.

With profound resignation, Curtis patted Carlos’ shoulder and tried to appease him.

“Man, we both know Debbie well. She deliberately chose this club, just to piss you off. Come on! She’s

just acting like any other woman in a situation like this. As a man, you should try and understand.”

Although Debbie was embarrassed at how her scheme plan had been so easily exposed, she still

stubbornly refused to admit her fault.

Instead, she tried to downplay her mistake with a joke.

“Mr. Loftus, you took it wrong. I came here because I knew there would be handsome rent boys

around. Lately, Carlos has been drab, boring. I wanted to try someone new… Aaargh! Carlos, what are

you doing? Let me go!”

In the twinkling of an eye, Carlos pounced on Debbie, forcefully pulling her over from behind Colleen’s

back, his face dark and threatening. The look on his face alone scared the bejesus out of

Debbie. ‘Dammit! Why did I have to piss him off?’ “Help! Help! Mr.

Loftus, Damon, Wesley…please somebody, help me out…

“Shut the hell up!” Carlos wondered what had come over Debbie.

Leaning against the wall, Damon shook his hand and said casually, “For all the trouble you have

caused everyone, we’ll leave Carlos to deal with you whichever way he sees best. So you two had

better sort out your differences without involving any of us.” ‘Why would anyone want to have a

girlfriend as bold and reckless as Debbie?’ he wondered.

Looking deeply thoughtful, Wesley spoke his thoughts out.

“I can only imagine what it would be like if she had fooled any of us into her mischief.”

Adjusting his glasses, Curtis chimed in with a smile, “The disagreements you two are having only prove

how deeply you love each other. Colleen and I can only sincerely wish you well after this is over.”

Now Debbie realized she was alone in dealing with her own mess, and no one was willing to intervene

on her behalf. In desperation, she turned to Emmett. Perhaps he would be her last hope.

“Emmett, please, help! If you can, please…” She paused, not knowing what to say next.

But Emmett too was careful to not meddle in the private issues of his boss. Pretending not to care

about Debbie’s request, he turned to Kasie instead and held her close in his arms.

“Debbie, Carlos is right. You and Carlos are just getting to know each other. It’s part and parcel of love.

The only challenge is that it takes time and lots of patience in how you deal with each other.”

By now, Carlos had already dragged Debbie to the door. Not willing to give up, she clung on to the

door-frame and yelled, “Why do you leave me in the Lurch? You should at least allow me the little

courtesy to invite the girls to the manor. Colleen, Kasie, Wesley’s girlfriend…why don’t you guys come

have a drink at my place?”

Surprised at the way Debbie had addressed her, Blair smiled sweetly and declined the invitation

politely.

“Thank you, Debbie. But today is not the right time. We’ll visit you next time.”

In Emmett’s arms, Kasie waved her hand at Debbie and said, “Tomboy, it’s very Late now. Just go back

home with Carlos. See you tomorrow.”

“Oh, Kasie, you have always gotten my back in times like this. Why don’t you put in a good word for me

when Carlos is about to bite my head off?”

“Tomboy, I’m sorry for Letting you down. Don’t worry. Carlos won’t beat you. Oh, by the way, you may

want to stay at home tomorrow because of your hickeys..

That wisecrack form Kasie immediately diffused the tension in the air.
