Jared was totally confused, but his dad wouldn’t listen to him.
“I already know you are at the Shining International Plaza. Stay there.
I’LL send somebody there to bring you back. Don’t you dare move your ass!”
The old man was not interested in Jared’s explanations, whatsoever.
So without another word he hung up, leaving Jared in suspense.

“And you think I can help you? How?” Debbie asked, obvious doubt coloring her face.
“Call your husband, please! Ask him to tell my dad the truth between you and me. Someone has to let him know that I’ve never hit on you.”
It sounded as if Jared was on the verge of crying. ‘If I ever find out who told my dad that, I’ll roast him alive!’ he promised himself.
The others laughed so hard they actually looked in pain. Sof them had to grip their stomach, while others had to bend over with the laughter. After watching the scene, Gus left for his girlfriend in an incredibly good mood.
Later, Debbie called Carlos, just as Carlos had anticipated.
“You’re calling at a perfect timing. There’s a dinner tonight. I’d like you to go with me,” Carlos said to her as soon as the phone was connected
“Hmm? Okay. Well, I’d like to ask a favor,” Debbie said.
“I remember there’s a light gray overcoat in your closet. Try it on later,” Carlos continued, as if he hadn’t heard a single word she had just said.
Debbie thought about what she had in her closet. There were too much clothes. She didn’t know exactly how much clothes she had. Then she realized that was not what she was calling for.
“Mr. Handsome, I’m calling because of Jared.”
Carlos put his feet on the desk.

“Hmm?” She was puzzled.
“The picture you sent me.”
“Oh, I found it hilarious, and then I couldn’t help imagining what you would look like in that hairdo.“ A laugh escaped Debbie’s Lips.
Jared turned to her sullenly. ‘My life is in her hands now, and there she is, flirting with her husband. She was even having fun while I’m in deep shit, ‘ he thought bitterly.
“What’s so funny about it?” Carlos wondered.
“It’s hilarious. Didn’t you get the picture from me? Didn’t you think it was funny?”
“Debbie Nelson! What did you mean by sendinga picture of another man and askingto copy him? Did you have a crush on Jared, but he turned you down? And now you are trying to makelook like him?”
