Chapter 741

But Carlos stopped her.

“Don’t avoid him. He did nothing wrong.”

Seeing that Debbie wanted to leave, Curtis smiled with resignation.

“Debbie, it’s just a dinner. Come on.”

Debbie took a deep breath, but her mind was made up.

“I’m not hungry anymore,” she said stubbornly to her husband, refusing to look at or talk to Curtis.

Carlos turned around and explained to her, “This is Colleen’s restaurant. And it’s expensive, to boot.

Let’s just eat and let Curtis pay the bill? We can rip him off. It’ll be fun.”

“Since when do you care about money?” Debbie retorted curtly. The VIP card for the fifth floor of Alioth

Building cost a million each. Carlos had given Debbie and each of her closest friends a card like that

without blinking. Of course, right now, he wasn’t complaining about the cost. He was trying to pull a

prank.

With a smile, he coaxed, “Hey, I get it. But you’re hungry, right?

Since we’re already here, let’s get something to eat.”

Debbie knew Carlos wouldn’t let her leave, so she reluctantly followed the two men inside. Nothing

would be gained by continuing to resist, so she decided maybe she was hungry, after all

Curtis led them into a booth. Before they walked in, a waiter had already carried a pot of soup stock

inside the booth, and put it on the stove to heat it. A faint delicious smell filled the air when the three

stepped inside.

They took their seats. Debbie sat next to Carlos, and Curtis was on his other side.

Soon, the waiter brought in several ingredients so they could finish making the hot pot. There was

thinly sliced Lamb and goat, beef, egg noodles, bok choy, crown daisy and winter melon, spinach,

lettuce, carrots, taro, daikon, and watercress. Not to mention various condiments like soy sauce, garlic,

white pepper and XO sauce. The ingredients here were much more exquisite than those she had eaten

at other hot pot restaurants she’d tried. This place looked like it catered to an upscale clientele. Which

was appropriate since she was here with Carlos.

Assuming Curtis and Carlos were going to eat with her, she didn’t stop the waiters from bringing in dish

after dish. There was enough for a sumptuous feast.

When the stock started boiling, Curtis picked up some ingredients and threw them in. Debbie didn’t see

everything he used, but there was definitely some goat and daikon. When the food was ready, Carlos

fished it out of the pot with his chopsticks, putting it on Debbie’s plate

She ate without complaint and Life was good. At least for now.

When there was a Lull, she looked around at the two men she ate with and noticed they hadn’t touched

their chopsticks.

“Why aren’t you two eating?” she asked Carlos.

Glancing at the greasy beef rolls he had between his chopsticks, he shook his head and replied, “I

already ate.”

“Me too. I ate when Carlos did said Curtis.

Tonight, they had gone to the same dinner and left at the same time

Afterwards, Carlos had gone back to the manor, and Curtis had come to this restaurant.

“So they’re just here to keep me company while I eat?’ Debbie suddenly felt embarrassed.

Although she didn’t want to talk to Curtis, she couldn’t let two men spend their evening making sure

she ate well. She wasn’t that delicate.
