Carlos didn’t need to do anything much to deal with Stephanie. Because ironically, it was now her turn to becthe target of cyber-bullying.
As arrogant and proud as she was, Stephanie could hardly endure the negative comments on her. She was already devastated.
Debbie received Carlos’ messages every day since she had flown to
France. Today was the seventh day of her stay there. When she finished her work and returned to the hotel at midnight, she received his text again.

Debbie choked on her saliva when she saw his reply. He had recently gotten very good at sweet- talking. Was this really the stoic CEO she had known for years? Did he find someone to teach him sromance?
She didn’t bother to reply and closed her eyes to rest. Her phone buzzed again.
“Honey, I love you,” his message said.
Debbie smiled. Of course, she knew how much he used to love her before he had Lost his memory. Now, his memory was back, and his love for her was stronger than ever. Nonetheless, she still tried to
stay angry at him.
“Carlos I’m just one of your staff and you’re the CEO. You’re beyond my reach. I’m not expecting any Love from you. I just want to earn my salary and make a living.”
“Babe, gissugar, and I’ll give you everything in return. My body, my heart… Everything that is mine belongs to you.”
Debbie got goose bumps as she read his brazen words. She put her phone away without replying.

She regretted having accepted this commercial job in France. The work was signed for fifteen days and there was still eight days left. She would be drained of energy by the end of it.
The eighth day of the event was the most relaxing day for her so far.
She had a dinner party that night and she could go back to the hotel earlier than usual. She was going to hang out in the streets of Paris and do ssightseeing if the party ended early.
Luckily for her, the dinner did end very soon. She left the restaurant with a colleague from France and they walked together since they were heading in the sdirection.
Her colleague was a muscular man, with blonde hair and blue eyes. He very much appreciated Debbie’s music, so they had a lot in common to talk about.
“Debbie, I would Like to develop my career in your country as well. Do you think your compatriots will Like someone like me?” the man asked as he flexed his elbow to show his bulging biceps.
Debbie was amused. She laughed, “Of course. A lot of girls love muscular men like you. They feel-” She stopped mid-sentence as she gazed into the distance in front of them.
Suppressing the shock that was travelling through her entire body, she finished her sentence, “-safe.”
The foreigner noticed the change in her expression. He followed her gaze and saw a man and a little girl standing ten-odd meters away, looking at them.
