“Sure, Carlos. Goodbye.” The manager always made a fuss whenever Carlos was around.
On their way out, Carlos and Debbie had to bear the greetings from several hotel staff passing by. When they finally left the hotel, she heaved a long sigh of relief.
Somehow, Carlos was not happy with her reaction. He cast a sideways glance at her and asked, “You feel ashamed of being with me, don’t you?”
“Not again! I’ve told him a dozen times.’ Debbie was exasperated at the stupid thought but decided not to act it out. She grabbed his arm and told him with a sweet smile, “Honey, could you please wait until I graduate first? I’m not mentally prepared to live under Limelight just yet.”
Then she added playfully, “You know who you are-the great Carlos. It’s quite a big thing to be your wife and sometimes, stressful too.”

“Behave yourself. Don’t hang onto my arm Like that,” he demanded frivolously.
“It’s all your fault! My Legs are killing me. I am not the one to blame,” she snapped back playfully. If it weren’t for her rumbling stomach, she would still be tormented by this old goat.

“What do you want to eat?” he asked in a soft voice.
“I don’t know. I’ve never been to this city before. Let’s Look around and find something good to eat.” She suddenly remembered that one of her cousins was a freshman in suniversity in this city, but she didn’t know the exact address.
She took out her phone from her pocket and asked Carlos casually, “Hey, do you know Yeim Film Academy?”
“Yes,” he responded cautiously.
“Do you know where it is?”
“About a couple of miles from here. Why?”
Debbie was elated at the news. She dialed a number and told Carlos,
“I’d like you to meet someone, okay?”
