NovelEnglishDamon drew a tile and chipped in sullenly, “It’s not like Carlos is short of money. No! That’s ridiculous. I suspect, the person driving him hard is his wife. You know how demanding sladies can be.” The tongue-in-cheek way he phrased his words left everyone in stitches. But
Damon ignored the giggles and carried on.
“Only she can throw him into a vortex of emotions.”
Although Damon was known for his wise cracks, Curtis took him seriously on what he had just said. He discarded two dots and with a curious gaze at Carlos, inquired, “What did Debbie do to get on your nerves this time?”

The enthusiastic cop continued, “Someone reported under their real nthat the person with the surnHilton was doing an illegal transaction and activity here. Please cwith us. And the Lady beside you.” The young policeman turned to Megan and asked, “Miss, what do you do? Where do you go to work? How did you two meet? How long have you known each other?”
Megan’s face turned pale with embarrassment. Everyone could tell that the policeman thought she was a prostitute
“Plbbt! Ha ha.” Damon burst into Laughter.
Even Curtis and Wesley, who were much more unflappable, found it hard to stifle their laughter. Clearly, the police were there for Carlos
Reporting him for doing illegal activity and Megan for prostitution…
