That day, he got off the ne and was about to go see Debbie when


    Megan called him out of nowhere. She wanted him to act as her boyfriend so that she could get rid of a


    boy who had been pestering her.


    The ce Megan mentioned was not too far away from the airport, so


    Carlos didn’t turn her down. He had nned to go to Debbie after dismissing the boy. But much to his


    surprise, he and Megan ran into


    Debbie and Hayden at the restaurant.


    In return for his exnation, Carlos had asked Debbie to exin why she had been with Hayden that


    day. She told him that she just wanted to tell Hayden that she had moved on and that there was no


    chance for them to get back together.


    However, Carlos didn’t buy it and bombarded her with questions. He didn’t let her go until she had told


    him every word she and Hayden had spoken, every move they had made, and every dish they had


    eaten.

    During the dinner, Debbie realized how busy Carlos was. Emmett, Tristan and some other people kept


    calling him, but he dismissed all of them and sent Skype messages instead.


    Meanwhile, he also had to answer Sasha’s curious questions. In order to not dy his work further,


    Debbie quickly gulped down her food and offered to go back to the hotel right after dinner. Two cars


    were already waiting for them as they exited the mall. Undoubtedly, Carlos had arranged them in


    advance. He asked one of his men to drive Sasha back.


    Debbie wanted to go for a stroll, so Carlos decided to walk back to the hotel with her. Emmett had to


    drive the car at a snail’s pace, following them closely behind.


    When they arrived at the gates to the hotel, they saw Gregory walking out. Although Debbie was


    wearing a hood, and her face was covered with a scarf, Gregory recognized her immediately. He


    remembered her down jacket from that morning.


    He had known for a while that Debbie was married to Carlos. But his heart still ached at the sight of


    their interlocked fingers.


    He forced a smile and greeted them, “Hi, Carlos. Debbie.”


    Surprised, Debbie asked, “Seriously? You recognized me under all this mask?”


    Her reaction amused Gregory.


    Carlos checked the time in his watch.


    “It’ste. Where are you going?”


    “To grab some food. I didn’t have dinner.” Debbie Looked back and forth between Carlos and Gregory,


    confused by their casual interaction.


    Gregory had taken Debbie to Esastin Vi once and had met Carlos. Back then, he didn’t know Carlos


    and thought that he was Debbie’s brother.


    Carlos had always kept a low profile. Although most people in the city knew his name, very few had


    actually seen his face. Colleen and Curtis had taken Gregory to meet Carlos a couple of times after


    Gregory had first met him.


    “Why not ask for room service?” Carlos asked.


    “I have been resting all this time. I feel kinda bored and thought I’d take a stroll.” If he hadn’t seen


    Debbie get into Carlos’ car, he would have invited her to go along with him for a walk.


    Debbie couldn’t hold her curiosity in anymore. She asked, “You two know each other?”


    “He’s Colleen’s brother,” said Carlos curtly.


    Debbie’s jaw dropped. No wonder Gregory looked familiar. She realized that he resembled Colleen a


    lot.
