Portia fixed her eyes on the ring immediately when she saw it, and knew it was precious. Certainly
more than any of them could afford. Even an idiot could tell that ring was priceless.
Shocked at the size of Debbie’s ring, Portia started to study her essories.
She found out that the in-looking ear studs Debbie wore were actually worth hundreds of thousands
of dors.
The shoes she was in cost nearly twenty thousand.
“So, is Debbie really married to a secretary?”
But Emmett was Carlos‘ secretary. It made sense to Portia that he could afford these things.
“I Like stealing other men’s wives. It’s exciting. Be my girlfriend
I’ll buy you two rings just like the one you have. What do you say?”
Lewis said shamelessly.
Debbie couldn’t believe her ears. She Looked at the man who was smiling at her evilly. ‘He’s flirting
with me right in front of Portia. So did
I get it wrong? Maybe they’re not here to talk about their engagement?’
Her thoughts were interrupted by her ringtone. She pulled out her phone, and saw it was Carlos. She
walked away from Lewis and took the call.
“I’m heading back,” she told Carlos.
When she was back inside the booth, Carlos took her hand under the table and asked, “You were gone
for awhile. Where did you go?”
“I came across a friend. We talked,” she answered casually.

“Okay. Are you full?”
“Yeah.”
“Let’s go then.” Carlos held Debbie’s hand and stood up.
Debbie was speechless. ‘Leaving the table as soon as he is stuffed,
Carlos is so arrogant.*
Seeing Carlos stand up, the others all followed. Someone took his and
Debbie’s coats for him. A couple of guests helped them get their coats on, and someone else opened
the door for him.
Their enthusiasm made Debbie sick. But not Carlos. Her husband was expressionless, as if he were
ustomed to it.
Once they were out of the building, they got into the car.
“I’ll drop you off at the manor, but I have to go back to the office. It’s work.”
