Besides appointing her as the lawful owner of the club, he’d also gradually turn more and more shares to her. Whichever the case, she’d be taking hhuge bonuses.
Debbie didn’t know how to turn his tempting offer down. The business offer aside, his chiseled Looks were so inviting, she feared she’d give in to him at any moment.
With a blushed face, she leaned back to keep him at arm’s Length.
“There’s no pressure to appointthe owner. That pointsin a bad light. I’m not a gold digger. How about this? As long as you don’t makethe owner, I won’t divorce you,” she offered. To be honest, it was not a bad idea to have a husband Like Carlos. He was handsome, rich and powerful.

“Don’t bother bargaining with me. I don’t think you’re capable of it yet. I can assure you that you’ll be the owner of the club. And forget about the divorce, as that’s impossible.”
“No! Why is he being so bossy?’ Debbie rolled her eyes.
Soon, the durian pizza was served. The aroma made her drool as she picked up the pizza cutter in a hurry.
Just as she was about to cut the pizza, Carlos took the cutter from her hand.
By the tshe raised her head to object, she realized he had already rolled his sleeves up. He cut the pizza in an elegant manner.
Then he picked up a slice of pizza and put it onto Debbie’s plate. The little gesture touched her. To her, such small acts of kindness meant a lot.
All her life, she had always been an independent girl, who was used to living on her own. Apart from her Late father, she had never depended on a soul. As such, that simple courtesy from Carlos was something she appreciated.
Much of the time, the men in her life tended to be cautious about her independent nature and they ended up not being much helpful. For example, her best buddy, Jared, had never treated her Like a girl who could use a bit of chivalry.
As for Hayden, whom she had dated for two years, they had never eaten anything fancy together. In fact, she had been the one who provided everything in that relationship. ALL that Hayden did was to drain her, always taking things from her. A boring, self-serving man.
“Why not eat?” asked Carlos, who had already sliced the pizza into pieces.
When he realized Debbie was distracted, he dropped the cutter just hard enough to jerk her back to the present.

“Please have some,” she offered.
Then she stretched her hand to pick up Carlos’ knife and fork which he had pushed away. But he stopped her.
“No need for that,” he politely declined her offer.
In reality, he was not a big fan of durian. Almost loathed the stuff.
“But I ordered for both of us.” It was a large-sized pizza, a little too much for one person, in addition to the other food she had ordered.
Looking her straight in the eye, Carlos reached out his hand and gently took her fork with the piece of pizza on it.
A broad smile forming on his lips, he took a careful bite, catching
Debbie by surprise once more. she stammered.
