“Yes, I hate that you put yourself out for her. You work hard all day, and then you take care of another woman after work!” she protested with concern in her voice.
Smiling, he kissed her on her forehead.
“It’s sweet that you worry about me.”
“Of course. You aren’t her husband, so she doesn’t worry about your health. But I feel my heart ache!” Yes, her heart ached when she knew
Carlos personally cooked for Megan. But it wasn’t just about his health, but also for the jealousy. The jealousy was really killing her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtClever as Carlos was, of course he could comprehend the subtext of her words.
“Sorry, sweetheart. I didn’t know it bugged you so much. I’LL take note of it and never let it happen again, okay?”
Debbie couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. She leaned over his chest, hearing his heartbeat. There were times that she felt this man was actually a fool who tried his best to make her happy. Yet, maybe he was not stupid at all because his strategy always worked. Even though she had almost drowned in jealousy, how could she be angry with him anymore after hearing his sincere apology?
On the third day, an unexpected guest cto visit Debbie in Carlos private villa.
It was Miranda.
“Hi, Miranda,” Debbie greeted her with courtesy.
“Hmm, “* Miranda responded nonchalantly and went straight into the living room.
Watching the woman walking in, Debbie wondered, ‘Why did Miranda show up all of a sudden? Did Carlos know anything about her visit? Or did she chere to seek justice for her son?’
Miranda turned around when she reached a sofa. Staring at the confused girl, she sat down and said, “Carlos has deprived Lewis of his position in the company.”
“What?” Debbie asked, trying to understand what was going on

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLewis’ father to make him a general manager. But yesterday, Carlos fired him from that job and set him up in the secretarial department.
Lewis has to start at the bottom and work his way up by himself.”
“So…her purpose is to seek justice for her son?’ Debbie asked in her mind.
She suddenly felt the air pressing in around her as she could sense the coldness and arrogance radiating from Miranda. Even though she spoke in an elegant way, there was a hint of power in her voice, just like
Carlos.
Awkward, Debbie cautiously sat opposite her, cleared her throat and replied, “Miranda, I never meddle in company affairs nor do I understand… Since it’s Carlos’ decision, I can’t interfere…”
Miranda stared at her.
“I’m not asking you to interfere. I just cto inform you of it.”
