Debra’s smile slowly faded.
“Shameless? Me? Perhaps your memory is failing you. When Juan cheated onwith Shella, didn’t you once
say, What man doesn’t fool around a little? Why does the tune change when it’s a woman in question?”
“Men and women aren’t the same.”
“You sure are hard on your own gender.”
She knew what kind of person Melody was. She didn’t want to waste any more targuing. Her tone turned
cold and distant.
“If you're here to talk about that, then | think we’re done | have work to do, so | won't see you out.”
Melody’s temper flared. She slammed her hand down on the desk.

“I'm giving you a chance here. Don’t you dare be so ungrateful.”
“A chance? What kind of chance?”
Debra leaned back in her chair, calmly watching Melody puff herself up with righteous indignation
Melody snorted, “You know just how many women would kill to marry into the Nichols family, don’t you? The only
reason you're wearing the title of Mrs. Nichols? Juan favors you. But if | were to get proof of your little dalliances

“I'll make sure someone keeps a close watch on her. If she makes any moves, I'll let you know. Immediately.”
“Good.”
“By the way, about the debut we discussed earlier...”
“Ugh, I'm getting a headache.”
Debra placed a hand on her forehead, her expression twisting as though in pain.
“Madam, are you okay? Should | call a doctor?”
“No need. I'll be fine. It's just a headache. I'll talk to Andrew in a couple of days.”
