Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Chapter 1000

Does he have time for me?’ conflicting thoughts ran through her mind

With her eyes closed, she leaned against his chest, smelling his enchanting scent.

“Where to, Carlos?” asked Carlos’ assistant, who was ready in the driver’s seat.

For the six months he had been on the job, he had never seen Carlos hug another woman besidesStephanie. This was a first.

Carlos was quiet for a moment. He looked out the window, stroked his brow and said, “Go to ChampsBay Apartments.”

“Yes, Carlos.”

The car pulled into Champs Bay Apartments in about ten minutes, where on arrival, Carlos’ phonerang. A call from Curtis

“Hi,” he answered at once.

“Carlos, Jared told me he couldn’t replace Debbie. Do you know where she is?” While Jared anxiouslylooked for her, Debbie had left her phone on the couch at the club. In his frantic efforts to replace her, hehad called Curtis.

“Yes, I do,” Carlos replied faintly.

“Good. Jared said she was drunk. Take care of her, OK?” said Curtis, feeling relieved.

“Alright.”

Elsewhere, Jared was still worried. Only after Curtis called back and told him about her whereaboutsdid he get some rest.

“Jared, you son of a bitch. Are you talking as if you were a baby in the last three years? Are you crazy,or something? Take care of you, my foot!” Damon cursed.

“If I am a son of a bitch, you are too. Anyway, that’s beside the point. Thing is, either you pay or I’LLcall Adriana and tell her Last week you went to dinner with two other women. Those supermodels youseemed head over heels about. The ball is in your court,” Jared threatened.

The blackmail worked Like magic. Without further ado, Damon caved in.

“You evil little son of a bitch!” he cursed again. The dinner with the supermodels was an official event. Anormal part of business for him, and entirely public, with so many people present.

But Jared made it sound like some clandestine affair. What angered
