Debbie said with a shrug, “He forcedto chere.”
Lewis got close to the office door, and then realized that Debbie wasn’t behind him. He cast a burning glance at her and said in a low voice, “What are you waiting for? Open the door!”
Emmett trotted towards the office and knocked on the door. With Carlos’ permission, he pushed the door open and addressed his boss, “Carlos,
Debbie and Lewis are here.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLewis grabbed Debbie and pushed her into the office. Caught off guard, she staggered, almost falling onto the floor.
Carlos, sitting in his armchair, saw Debbie falter. He immediately stood up, strode towards her and pulled her into his arms.
“It’s very late. Why aren’t you home? You okay?” That was when he saw her red and swollen cheek.
“Who did this to you?” he asked in a cold voice and furrowed his eyebrows.
“Don’t worry. I’m okay. I. . . I chere. . . because I missed you.
Can I get a ride hwith you?” Debbie held back Carlos’ waist and cast a challenging glance at Lewis, who couldn’t believe his eyes and ears. Why was she so familiar with his cousin?
Carlos disentangled her from his arms and examined her cheek carefully.
His face turned livid.
“Who did this?” He shifted his gaze to Lewis, who also had a swollen face.
Assuming that Lewis hit Debbie, Carlos released her, and before Lewis could respond, kicked him in the gut, knocking him to the floor.
He then walked over to his prone body, and placed his foot on him. Then he asked in an icy tone, “You hit her, didn‘t you?”
Beside him was a table. Carlos picked up the teapot from the table and raised it overhead, as if he was going to smash it against Lewis’ head.

“Relax, man! I didn’t hit her. It was Portia. She slapped her!”

Lewis’ pleas snapped Debbie back to reality. She grabbed Carlos’ arm and explained, “He didn’t hit me. I kicked his ass.”
Carlos then let go of Lewis, placed the teapot back on the table and warned him, “If she hits you again, don’t fight back.”
“What?! But why?” Lewis was in stunned disbelief.
Carlos straightened his suit and said indifferently, “She’s my wife.”
“She’s Carlos’ wife?! That means she’s my cousin-in-law.’ Lewis almost choked on his own tongue.
