Star Empire, or Carlos and Ivan’s friend, I would have fired you on the spot.”
Debbie smiled awkwardly. ‘Why can’t he just say he signedbecause I sing well?’
She felt frustrated because she didn’t want people to think that she relied on men.
Debbie drained her glass sullenly. Then she refilled Elmer’s glass and said, “You’re right. Carlos owns Star Empire, and takes care of his employees.”

She only assumed he liked drinking alcohol. But man, that guy could drink. After refilling his glass, she pointed to two dishes she had ordered and politely directed his attention to them.
Elmer took a bite.
“So how do you know Carlos and Ivan?” he asked out of the blue.
Debbie was surprised. ‘Men can be gossipy too, ‘ she thought.
She swallowed her food and smiled, “I thought everyone knew about my relationship with Carlos. I’m his ex-wife. Ivan is my friend and a mentor. He helpedget my singing career off the ground. Thanks to him, I signed with Star Empire.”
Almost no one knew she and Ivan were married.
Actually, Elmer knew about Debbie and Carlos. Everyone in Alorith knew about them. Carlos had once bought an extremely expensive watch at an expo to apologize to her. Elmer was there and had seen it all.
He had asked to see how truthful she was. It turned out she was honest.
Brownie points for her.
“Why did you two split up?” She lost her smile for a moment.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Please, don’t be offended. I’m just curious. Carlos is a great guy. And you seem nice too. What went wrong?” Elmer pursued.
He was actually thinking, ‘If those two get back together and Debbie’s still endorsing our products, that’ll be a serious moneymaker.*
“Personal reasons. I don’t feel like talking about it. Let’s talk about something else.” The truth was as wild as the rumors that dogged her.
She didn’t know Elmer that well and her personal life was private. She wouldn’t share it with just anyone.
“Okay, let’s drink,” he said with a smile.
‘And another? How many glasses is this guy going to down?’ Debbie realized that they had been drinking nonstop.
Elmer told her he only had twenty minutes, but their dinner lasted three hours. When they were done, they’d finished one bottle of the private reserve. The other bottle went unopened. To make him happy,
Debbie gave it to him as a gift. He grinned ear-to-ear, and cradled the diamond-studded gold and sterling platinum bottle in his arms.
After seeing him off, Debbie let out a long sigh of relief. Her face ached from smiling so much.
