Debbie accepted his apology and said, “Okay! I forgive you-this time.”
She wasn’t hurt by the incident, but she was still humiliated.
“So should I say thank you?”
“Of course. But since we’re family, don’t be so polite. Haha..
Standing under a big tree, Debbie raised her head to look at the sun streaming through the Leaves and flashed a big smile.

“Will you miss me?”
“Of course, Honey.”
Raymond Grand Hotel was a five-star hotel. Even driving up to it, you could see the 10 acres of blooming gardens, not to mention the gazebo and fish pond. And of course it had a richly appointed lounge and restaurant. The wealthy and shameless rubbed elbows here.
As darkness fell outside, luxurious cars stopped in front of the hotel gates one after another. Men and women in designer threads entered the hotel.
The Kasee Group had booked the entire hotel for its fiftieth anniversary. More than 1,000 guests could be seen everywhere-in the main hall, in the garden, etc.
While the CEO of the Kasee Group made an opening speech in the main hall, the PR team responsible for receiving the guests waited at the hotel gates. The team leader raised her wrist to check the time.
The dinner had already been going on for about seven minutes, but their special guests hadn’t arrived yet. Their boss had specifically instructed them to treat the two guests with utmost respect.
The next moment, a red Pagani sports car raced along and stopped abruptly before the gates.
When she saw the car, the team leader realized the guests had arrived.
It must be Emmett of the Hilton Group and their mystery guest. With a big smile, she Led her companions forward to greet them.
The girl in the driver’s seat was none other than Debbie. Her head almost bumped into the steering wheel when the car stopped. But she was late, and she didn’t want to be any later than this. The man in the passenger seat was in the ssituation. His heart rate skyrocketed.

When the car cto a halt, Debbie straightened her clothes and fixed her hair.
“Emmett, we’re ten minutes late. Think anyone will notice?” she asked. This was all Carlos’ fault. When she was picking out a dress, he refused to hang up the phone and insisted on video chatting with her.
Carlos picked out her dress and even her earrings. It was like he wanted control over the entire process. Before that, he had watched her change and try on every dress. That had been fun. Some secrets a man should never know-lLike all the gymnastics it took sometimes just to fit into a dress. The net effect was that no one was supposed to know how much effort you put into getting ready.
Therefore, she ended up getting to the hotel ten minutes late, even though she was an excellent driver behind the wheel of a sports car.
“It’s okay. Don’t worry about it, Debbie,“ Emmett answered, frankly relieved they’d stopped. He didn’t enjoy the trip over here at all, wondering how long it would take him to stop shuddering. He got out of the passenger seat and trotted over to the driver’s seat. After straightening his clothes, he opened the door for Debbie with a serious look on his face and held out his right hand.
“Please, Debbie,” he said respectfully.
Debbie put her high heels on again. She had taken them off and thrown them aside while she was driving. Then, she put her hand on Emmett’s gracefully and got out of the car.
The PR team knew Emmett as Carlos’ secretary. When they saw him being so respectful to the woman getting out of the car, they all knew she must be very important. Carlos spared no expense to make sure those close to him were well taken care of, and she was obviously close to him.
