When the fifth shot was heard, Aldrich cried again.
Then, she heard Ivan say in a weak voice, “Carlos… stop!”
“Carlos!’ Debbie turned around abruptly. Aldrich was seen rolling painfully on the floor. Before she could Lay her eyes on anything else, a figure in black ran over to her.
‘Carlos! It’s really him!’
The CEO was also holding a gun. The suit he was wearing didn’t bind on him, or stop him from fighting. He stood in front of Debbie to shield her, and trained his gun on the men.

Putting up their hands in the air, those men walked over toward where
Aldrich was lying, and then squatted next to him. There were more than ten of them.

“Are you okay? You hurt?” he asked with concern.
“No. Why are you here?” she said, shaking her head, still unable to believe that Carlos had cto her rescue and was standing right in front of her. This was like something out of the movies.
“Why didn’t you tellabout the kidnapping?” he reprimanded.

Carlos smiled wryly. When he heard she was here alone, he ducked out of an important meeting and immediately climbed into his sports car. He raced all the way there, pedal to the metal, putting all his driving skills to the test.
He had tackled all the sentries posted outside without a sound. When he stepped inside, the first sight that met his eyes was Aldrich drawing a bead on Debbie.
He had been so nervous that he could hardly feel his heart beat. But she was another man’s wife. Her husband was with her. What was he doing here? Now, he realized how ridiculous he was acting.
Without waiting for an explanation, he turned around and made his way to the entrance.
Debbie was left speechless.
“He calls the cops and zooms here to save me. Then, he makes sure I’m okay, and just…leaves?’ she thought.
She didn’t have much tto think about this, though. Ivan had been shot, and she needed to make sure he was safe.
After the paramedics carried Ivan into the ambulance, Kasie walked over to Debbie and hugged her.
