Chapter 701

Debbie didn’t respond.

Her lunch arrived. She washed her face and brushed her teeth before having her Lunch quietly.

Before he headed to work, Carlos gave her a set of high-end skin care products.

“These were specially made for your skin. Try them to see if you like them.”

‘Is this his way of apologizing?’ she wondered.

She accepted the gift. After all, she would be leaving soon. She might not be able to receive gifts from

Carlos in the future.

After having a warm bath, Debbie put on her pajamas and threw herself onto the bed. She just wanted

to stay at home and play on her phone.

About ten minutes passed, and she received a call from an unfamiliar number.

She answered it.

“Hello?”

“Debbie. It’s me, Gregory.

“Oh, hi, Gregory. What’s up?”

After a moment’s pause, he asked, “Are you busy now?”

“No, I’m not. What is it?”

“There’s a jewelry and watch exposition at the New District Exhibition

Center. I happen to have two invitations. Would you like to come with me?” he offered, holding the

invitations tightly in his hand. He was so nervous that his palms became sweaty.

*A jewelry and watch exposition?’ Debbie already had many jewelry and watches in her walk-in closet.

They were all sent to her by Carlos, and most of them were brand new.

“I’m sorry, Gregory, but I don’t feel Like going out today…”

Debbie’s sudden refusal made Gregory’s heart ache, but he was reluctant to give up.

“Debbie, this expo is being held by the Hilton Group, and many international celebrities will be

attending. Invitations are hard to come by. Emmett, Kasie, and Jared will be there as well. You’ll be

going abroad soon, right? Why not take this opportunity to have some fun?” After a pause, he added

while feigning indifference, “If you really don’t want to go, it’s fine. I’ll go with Colleen and her boyfriend.

I hope they don’t give me the cold shoulder for ruining their date.”

Debbie was confused.

“I thought you didn’t like these kinds of activities. Why are you mad keen to go this time?”

“Oh, here’s the thing. I collect watches. And this is a world-wide expo. There will be many Limited-

edition watches. I really need to see them in person.”

Debbie began to wonder, ‘It’s held by Hilton Group. Carlos just asked me to go to an expo with him. Is it

the same?’ “Will Carlos be there?” she asked.

After some hesitation, Gregory murmured, “He will be there, but…” He didn’t know if he should tell her

the truth. He didn’t want to drive a wedge between the couple.
