Carlos looked at her pain-stricken face without speaking.
When he didn’t respond, Debbie asked, “So, when’s your wedding?” She didn’t hear the MC announce their wedding date during their engagement ceremony.
Carlos felt something churn in his heart.
“Not sure yet. I have too much work to do.”

Seeing his weary face, Debbie felt her heartstrings tug. Carlos was always a busy bee. He could hardly spare any tto travel with her back then.

She remembered the twhen she was studying in England, he had promised to fly there to accompany her, but he never could make it. In the end, when she got pregnant, he made her stay back in Alorith.
Coming back to the present, she reminded him again, “All right. Do remember to attend my wedding next month.” After that, Debbie stopped talking and meddled with her phone until he finished eating.

Debbie’s smile froze on her face. Suppressing the pain in her heart, she smiled bitterly.

On the sixteenth day, Debbie went to a nearby shopping mall and bought him a gift. She bought two mugs. After returning home, she kept one of them in her apartment and packed the other one in the gift bag. Along with the Lunch box, she headed to the company.
It was raining when she arrived at Hilton Group.
She stood outside, waiting for Frankie to cdown as usual. However,
Frankie seemed to be busy that day, so after waiting for a few minutes
Debbie had no choice but to deliver it to Carlos’ office by herself.
She was afraid that the food would beccold. After putting on her mask and sunglasses, she walked into the building with an umbrella in one hand and the gift bag and Lunch in the other.
She called Frankie. With his assistance, she arrived smoothly on the floor where the CEO’s office was located.
It had been three years since Debbie had cto this floor. When she walked past the work area, she saw all those unfamiliar faces. That was the place where Emmett, Tristan and the other assistants used to work at.
