Meanwhile, Emmett, who was on a construction site, supervising the crew, sneezed suddenly. ‘Damn! Who is talking aboutbehind my back?
Or is someone missing me?‘ he wondered. Actually, he had been thinking, ‘Carlos, I miss you. I want to talk to you. Please takeback!”
Bowing his head, he pondered over it for a while. Then he took out his phone and called Tristan.
“Tristan, how are things with Carlos and
Debbie? Are they getting along?”

Emmett’s question caused him to think about the lipsticks Carlos had bought Debbie. In his opinion, a gift meant their relationship was okay. So he replied, “They’re fine.”
“OK. Thanks,” Emmett said. After ending the call with Tristan, he called Debbie.
Debbie didn’t realize she hadn’t talked to Emmett in a long tuntil she got his call.
“Hi, Emmett,” she said. She was about to go to Carlos’ company to return the Lipsticks when her phone rang.
“Boo…hoo… How… how are you, Debbie?”
Emmett cried over the phone, which made Debbie shiver. She thought something awful must have happened.
“What’s the matter?” she asked.
The next moment, Emmett asked cautiously, “Debbie, is Carlos with you?”
“No. Why?” she wondered.
Hearing that Carlos wasn’t around, Emmett stopped crying and his voice went back to normal.
“Carlos, I was sent away to carry bricks on a construction site because of you. I’ve been in this dull, terrible place for a month. You can’t imagine what I’ve been through. When you pour yourself a drink and Look out the window of your comfortable villa, do you ever think of me? Does it hurt when you do?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDebbie was surprised to hear that. ‘Emmett? Carrying bricks? Because of me?
Why didn’t Carlos tell me? I asked him about Emmett, but…’
“Sorry, I didn’t know,” she apologized.
“Now you know. I want my old job back. You’re Carlos’ wife. Can you helpout? If you bring me back, I’ll do anything for you. Anything,”
Emmett pleaded.
“Do anything for me? What about my husband?”
Debbie asked.
“Well, do anything for both of you.”
