However, Emmett didn’t get her point. Instead, he asked innocently,


    “Debbie, what’s wrong with your eyes? You got hurt? Shall we call a doctor over to check?”


    Debbie was speechless. ‘I did what I could, but he didn’t get me. Can’t he see that Carlos is in a terrible


    mood right now?’ she wondered.


    “Emmett, it seems that you care about my wife very much,” Carlos said casually as he dabbed the ice


    pack onto Debbie’s swollen cheek. He turned to Lewis, who had stood up from the floor, and ordered,


    “Lewis, don’t just stand there while this dumbass pokes his nose into my business. Strike him in the


    face!”


    Only then did Emmett realize he had almost stepped on a Landmine. His face turned pale.


    With a cold smile, Carlos continued, “In this way, you can share in her happiness and suffering.”


    Debbie was at a loss for words. ‘Carlos is way too possessive, ‘ she thought .


    “Please don’t get me wrong, Carlos. Ah, I remember I have something urgent to attend to. I’ll take my


    leave now,” said Emmett and quickly turned to leave.


    But just as he was about to step out of the door, Lewis blocked his way.


    “Emmett, you know, on this turf, I’ll only y by my cousin’s rules.” Then without a second thought, he


    swung his clenched fist to strike.


    Only by a whisker did Emmett dodge. With quick darting steps, he retreated from Lewis and cast an


    imploring nce at Debbie.


    “MrsConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    Hilton, please help!”


    The exchange at the door amused Debbie. Holding back her giggles, she clutched at Carlos’ right arm


    with both hands and pleaded in a cute way, “Honey, Emmett was just showing his concern for his boss’


    wife.


    Don’t get mad at him, okay? Besides, he’s your right-hand man. How will it benefit you, if he gets hurt?”


    “Do you think he’s that indispensable?” asked Carlos with a dismissive snort.


    “We have an abundance of talented people. His absence would make no difference.”


    “How cruel he is!’ thought Debbie.


    ALL of a sudden, a Light bulb went off in her mind. Feigning sadness, she looked at Emmett and said,


    “Emmett, you see, it’s not that I didn’t help you. My words cut no ice with your boss.”


    Instantly, Carlos knew what his wife was going to say. He watched with a raised eyebrow as she


    continued.


    Not knowing Carlos had seen through her trick, Debbie cast a sad nce at her husband and


    continued, “Emmett, I suggest you go find Olga to put in a good word for you. I believe her words will


    work.”


    “Get out!” Carlos roared, at which Lewis and Emmett immediately left the office and closed the door


    behind them.


    A proud smile shed across Debbie’s face, as her n worked.


    Carlos sighed with profound resignation.


    “I’LL have my turn to even the score in bed this evening,” he threatened.
