Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Chapter 687

Beside Carlos was Megan. Colleen looked at him with a raised brow.

“Carlos, where is my good friend, Debbie?” This was supposed to be a get-together of Carlos and hisclosest friends. However, instead of

Debbie, he brought Megan along. Colleen was pissed.

Carlos lit a cigarette and took a drag. After exhaling the smoke, he said, “She’s home.”

Colleen knew that Carlos and Debbie had a huge fight after Debbie had pushed Megan into the river.Things were complicated between the couple right now. So, Colleen didn’t feel the need to pretend tobe cordial with Megan anymore.

“Carlos, I have to say, you are in the wrong here.

This is an occasion for the people closest to you. Why didn’t you bring

Debbie? You should learn from Wesley. He brought his girlfriend. As for

Damon, he gets a free pass. He has always been a playboy. Even when his wife is about to give birthto their baby, he is here messing around instead of taking care of her at home. He has made his ownbed and he will have to lie in it.”

Damon snorted and replied defensively, “Don’t get me wrong now. Your man said that we were havinga get-together, so my wife gave me permission to have some fun. Since they all had a woman withthem, how could I come alone?”

Eyes fixed on Colleen, and one hand propped against her chin, the girl sitting next to Wesley explainedin a low voice, “You misunderstood my relationship with Wesley. I’m not his girlfriend.”

“Colleen.” Finally Wesley interrupted her.

“Weren’t you asking about

Debbie?” he snapped, eager to change the subject.

“OK. Alright! Carlos, you haven’t answered my question yet.” At

Wesley’s hint, Colleen pretended to realize she was off the topic.

Promptly, she tuned her gaze to Carlos, the look in her eyes unrelenting, waiting for him to answer herearlier question

“She’s at home, expecting all the papers to be ready, so that she can go abroad,” said Carlos,determined to keep everything as laconic as possible.

As he spoke, Curtis could see the gloom on his face. Of course, he knew

Carlos and Debbie were still not reconciled yet. So in an attempt to broach the subject with caution, hesaid, “I’ve heard that Hilton

Group’s business has been booming Lately. The employees have been working extra hours. I hope youhaven’t been sleeping in your office.”

He added that Last bit with slight emphasis. The gist of his question was to replace out why Carlos had notbeen sleeping at home. Then he added his piece of advice.

“You don’t have to burst a nerve working overtime, man. If it’s for money, do you think it’s wise of you todrive yourself so hard at work that you don’t even have time to return home?”

Hearing his question, the others exchanged a look
