Chapter: 162
Carlos, however, was calm as if nothing had happened. He fixed his collar and tie and started eating. As if to comfort Debbie, he put sof the Australian sirloin on her plate.
“Eat.” He spoke, his tone remaining indifferent.
“Finally! Thank God!” Jared exclaimed in relief.
“I thought you guys were going to fuck or something which is something I don’t want to see!”

But this was his best friend, Debbie, and her husband, the powerful
Carlos.
For the first time, Jared saw Debbie get soft. Usually she was rash and casual in manner. ‘What the hell? Hmph, Debbie even isn’t herself anymore around Carlos.” He drank swater to calm himself down. ‘How much longer? This meal is frigging killing me, ‘ he fumed inwardly.
Meanwhile, Carlos wiped his hands and spoke to Tristan without Looking at him.
“Tristan, the cards.”
Tristan took out a few cards from his breast pocket and presented them to Carlos.
“Here they are, Sir.”
“Good,” Carlos only said, nodding.
With Carlos’ permission, Tristan handed the four VIP cards for the fifth floor of Alioth Building one by one to Debbie’s friends. He handed the first one to Jared.
Jared’s eyes widened in delight when he took the gilt card. He cheered and gave it a kiss. Then a thought rang in Jared’s head. ‘With this card, I can cto this place whenever I want. But why do I have to stay longer, watching those two being sappy together?’
He assumed an air of composure and turned to Debbie.

The other three followed Jared and stood up from the table too. Jared stood aside and waited for them to leave together. Next, Tristan went to Kasie. She grabbed the card and her purse and whispered to Debbie,
“Girl, Carlos is a keeper. If you try to divorce him, I will punch your gut.”
Debbie only looked at her coldly as her thoughts went, ‘You traitor.’
Kristina actually intended not to accept the card. But it felt disrespectful if she refused it. Despite her reluctance, she still took the card and grabbed Dixon’s hand before she said to Debbie, “Deb, now that we have this card, we can chere anytime. So we’ll just Leave you and Carlos alone now. Be nice to him, alright?”
‘Another traitor, ‘ Debbie thought, as if making a hit list.
“Please don’t ditch me, Dixon,” Debbie thought hopefully, chewing her lip. She knew how honest and upright Dixon was. He was all she had!
‘I can’t just accept that, ‘ thought Dixon. His hesitance caused Debbie to feel relieved.
Tristan chuckled, “No need to worry about it. Think of it as a little token from Carlos. You have been always a good friend to Debbie and it means a lot to both Carlos and Debbie! Besides, I’ve heard that your brother is having sproblems with transferring school. It’s said that the new school’s principal loves dining here.”
