Debbie promised she’d put in a good word, but she couldn’t promise that
Carlos would forgive him. Swallowing the Lump in his throat, he said that was fine. After ending the phone call, Debbie looked at the cartons of Lipsticks, wondering what to do next. She had been thinking of returning the gift to Carlos. She intended to do so resolutely, so she would know that she couldn’t be bought Like that. She wasn’t happy.
But Emmett’s phone call made her hesitate. She had to give it more thought before going to Carlos’ company and talking to him.
When Debbie visited Hilton Group later, Carlos had just cback to his office after a meeting with a client.
Just like last time, Rhonda received her at the reception desk.

“Nice to see you, Miss Debbie. You’re here to see Carlos, right?” Without giving Debbie a chance to say anything, she added with a smile, “Carlos has just returned to his office. I’ll take you there right away.”
Rhonda’s over-the-top enthusiasm made Debbie uncomfortable. She gave her a smile and said, “Okay, thanks.”
They walked down the Lushly-carpeted hall, and entered the elevator.
When they left the elevator on the 66th floor, Zelda Potter, another of

Debbie smiled, “Thank you!”
Zelda, on the other hand, only gave her a sidelong glance before making her way to the CEO’s office.
Debbie pursed her lips at Zelda’s back disapprovingly. ‘What a rude bitch!’ So far, she had met three of Carlos’ secretaries, the other two being Rhonda and Tristan. Of all of them, Zelda was the most arrogant.
When they cto the door of Carlos’ office, Zelda knocked and soon
Carlos responded, ‘Cin.”
With the CEO’s permission, Zelda pushed the door open quietly and said respectfully, “Carlos, there’s a Miss Debbie here to see you.”
Debbie took one step forward and saw what was going on in the office.
