Carlos sat next to Debbie.
The glossy black car drove slowly out of the manor. Debbie leaned against his shoulder and started asking all kinds of questions.
“Is
Grandpa awake yet? Will Grandma and Dad like me? Who else is living in the house besides Dad and Mom? Where will we Live? Will you stay withevery day after we get there?”
Carlos was totally speechless. He swore this wasn’t the flirty moment he was hoping for.

“Grandpa is getting better, but he still hasn’t caround yet. My family will like you.
You and I will live in the manor in New York just like everyone else in my family. I’LL work there, but I’ll also make as much tfor you as possible.”
Then Carlos gave Debbie a general rundown of his family members.
“My dad is a hothead. You’d better not talk to him alone. If there is something that requires you to talk to him, tellfirst, and I’ll do it for you,” he added.
“Got it,” Debbie replied. She was curious. ‘How short-tempered can my father-in-law be? Is his temper worse than Carlos’?’

“Tomboy?” Carlos asked icily.
“Since when are you and my wife so close?
It’s Debbie to you.”
Emmett had no words, spending his tin stunned silence. He had gone over all the other forms of addresses in his head.
“Tomboy” seemed to be the least likely to make his boss jealous. However, obviously, he was wrong. Carlos was way too possessive. Emmett looked at Debbie sympathetically and said, “I feel for you, Debbie.”
“What?” Carlos asked immediately before Debbie could say anything.
Emmett wasn’t stupid enough to share what he really thought. He chuckled nervously.
