His explanation only added fuel to the fire. Debbie wasn’t happy, and besides, she had drunk too much wine tonight, so she began to make a fuss. Glaring at him, she confronted, “What did you say? A leash? Like an animal? A tigress?”
“And not like that either. But you do have a bad temper.” Dixon didn’t have to work tonight, and Carlos was quite far away, so he wasn’t in any rush. He didn’t mind throwing down and arguing with Debbie over stupid things.
“Bad temper? I think I’ve been remarkably tolerant of you trash talking me. I’m better than I was four years ago,” she retorted and glared at him, unconvinced by his judgment.
Holding back his laughter, he provoked her calmly, “You’re glaring atwith eyes so wide they’re about to fall out and roll around on the table. You call that ‘better?’ Maybe he should tie you up. If he spoils you any more, you’ll think you’re Queen of the World.”
As soon as he was done speaking, Debbie punched his shoulder.

Although he had worked with Dixon for a few days, this was the first the saw him Laugh like a child.
Moreover, Debbie, the famous singer, was quite different from what he saw on TV. Now, she was like a kid, trying to pull a prank on Dixon. He loved the fact that she was so down-to-earth.
But the driver didn’t detect a hint of romance between them. They just acted naturally, like sold friends. No wonder Carlos let Dixon escort Debbie to him.

“No. I’m coming out now.” Then she heard Carlos tell the other people,
“I’m sorry. My wife is waiting foroutside. We’ll pick this up sother time.” He took his leave, and then Debbie heard a Lot of noise on the other end. It sounded like all of them stood up to escort him out of the room.
