The yearning in her eyes amused Carlos. Debbie was very different from other women he had seenbefore. Women were always conscious of their figure and were afraid of putting on weight. Theywouldn’t have too much food for supper, nor would they indulge themselves with desserts at this Latehour.

“Wait for me here,” he said and went into the dessert store.

Standing outside, Debbie looked at the man she loved through the window. Carlos picked up severalcakes with different flavors and put them onto the tray he was holding. Within a few minutes, he strodeout with five or six small cakes inside a paper bag.

He pulled Debbie into his arm. The girls in the store stared enviously at Debbie because she had sucha caring and handsome date.

Unable to hold herself back, Debbie took out a chocolate cake from the bag and began to enjoy it.

She scooped a spoonful of cake and brought it to Carlos’ mouth. He shook his head, but she grumbled,“You bought so many, I can’t finish all of them. Let’s not waste good cakes. Besides, I will surely gain afew pounds after eating so much. Come on! Take a bite. Let’s put on weight together.”

Grinning and not knowing how to turn her down, Carlos opened his mouth and ate the cake she wasfeeding him with so much love.

Later, when they had just gotten into his car, Carlos’ assistant called him. There was an emergencymeeting he had to attend at the company.

Carlos wanted to take Debbie back home first, but she refused his offer and insisted that she take ataxi home.

Sighing in defeat, Carlos hailed a taxi for her. He waited until the taxi was out of sight and then turnedaround his car and drove towards the company.

At Hilton Group

When he saw Carlos’ car approaching the company entrance, Frankie trotted over. When Carlos gotout, he informed him in a hurry, “Carlos, they are waiting for you.”

“Hmm.” He handed the car keys to Frankie and walked into the building.

Frankie called out hesitantly, “Carlos.”

Carlos turned around and waited for him to continue.

Frankie approached him and whispered near his ear, “We found that someone had been following youfor the past few days. It’s…

Stephanie.”

Carlos furrowed his brows and replied in a cold voice, “I see.”

“Stephanie is following me?’ He was annoyed.

The senior executives and managers of Hilton Group were all sitting in the meeting room, waiting forCarlos

When he entered, they greeted him. After Carlos sat in his designated seat, James, who was sitting inthe CEO’s chair, began, “Now that everyone is here, let’s begin the meeting.” He Looked around thetable once and then continued, “Milo of the Beckett Group has passed away

Ben Sugden has been responsible for the project that they are handling in co-operation with us.Gentlemen, let’s discuss what we are going to…”

Two hours later, after the meeting was over, Carlos and James entered the elevator together. Jamescast a quick glance at the expressionless

Carlos and asked casually, “Carlos, you didn’t come to the company this afternoon. What were youdoing?”

Carlos’ eyebrows shot up at being questioned.
