Debbie was eager to find out whether Carlos was inside the car or not and hoped to finish the
conversation as soon as possible. Thus, she rested her arm on Emmett’s shoulder and cunningly
replied, “We’re close. As to how close? Guess.”
Since Gail had already taken her for a slut, it didn’t matter to add one more name on the list of the men
Gail thought she had slept with.
Debbie nced at Gail provocatively before patting Emmett on the shoulder. She then said, “I’ll leave
my cousin with you. I have to go pack my things. Wait for me here.” The possibility of seeing Carlos put
her in such a good mood she even blew a kiss to Emmett while stepping away.
Emmett, who was Carlos’ secretary, couldn’t be happier upon seeing how chirpy his boss’ wife was

He nodded to Debbie and dotingly said, “No rush. Someone is already packing your things for you. You
can get in the car whenever you’re ready.”
“Got it.”
After Debbie left, Gail looked at Emmett and asked anxiously, “How exactly do you two know each
other?”
‘What does she mean by “you two”?’ Confusion flooded Emmett instantly.
His eyebrows were furrowed as he tried to figure out what the woman before him was talking about. It
took him a while before he finally realized that she was talking about him and Debbie.
“I don’t think that’s what you are really interested in,” he coldly answered.
That indifferent reply embarrassed Gail all over again. However, she wasn’t going to waste the chance
to pry into Debbie’s secrets. Thus, she asked, “Umh…When are you leaving here?”
“Right now,” Emmett deadpanned since he already knew what Gail was up to.
Frankly, they didn’t have time for sightseeing. Every one of thepany was super busy since it was
the end of the Lunar year.
Hearing his answer thrilled Gail a lot. It was such a relief to hear them leaving soon. Nevertheless, she
chose to contain her excitement since she had a public image to maintain. She needed to remain
innocent and sweet. Then she asked in a low, soft voice, “Can you give me a lift? I’m sorry to disturb
you, but my dad is too busy to spare me any time. So… I…”
She cleared her throat, trying topose herself and remain polite as she spoke.
Although Emmett was just a secretary, the fact that Carlos was his boss cut him from the rest. Gail
couldn’t afford to make a mistake, especially when she was asking for a favor, for example, right now.
The fretful look on Gail’s face almost made Emmettugh aloud. This woman had always been rude,
arrogant, and mean when she was around
Debbie. Emmett would have turned this patheticdy’s request down if he hadn’t received an order
from Carlos that all Debbie’s schoolmates should be sent home together with her.
She had Debbie to thank for that. If it wasn’t for Debbie, Gail wouldn’t even have a chance to ask. In
the end, he smiled slyly, “To be frank, besides the investment project in Southon Vige, my job here is
to pick somebody up. If you want to go with us, you can ask Debbie about it. If Debbie says okay, then
it’s fine by me.”
Gail’s smile gradually melted upon hearing Emmett. She thought, ‘So he came here just to pick Debbie
up? Huh! It is impossible that there’s nothing going on between them!
Those things kept Gail quiet for a while. It was only after a few seconds when she opened her mouth
again.
“Why her?” she asked curtly.
Emmett smiled and responded, “Didn’t youe here because your dad forced you to learn from
Debbie?”
“Yeah, but what does it have to do with me going back with you?” Gail wondered.
“Since you came here because of Debbie, it would be Debbie’s decision whether you can go back
earlier or not. It’s fine if you don’t want to ask her. It’s totally your call.” Time was pressing. Those were
thest words Emmett said before nodding at her politely and walking away.
