As soon as they left Shining International Plaza, Kasie asked Emmett,
“Hey, why the hand over my mouth?”
Emmett turned to look whether Hayden was behind them. Then he Looked
Kasie in the eye and explained with resignation, “Debbie doesn‘t want everyone to know she’s married to Carlos.”
“I know. Tomboy is my best friend, and we have no secrets between us.”

Kasie nodded, “Yeah. So? Get to the point.”
“Carlos Loves his wife, and he wants the whole world to know Tomboy is his one and only. But she doesn’t like the Limelight. So Hayden thought
I was her hubby. I let him think that, because I want Tomboy to be happy. And if she’s happy, so is Carlos.”
Kasie was totally confused.
“Okay, so why did you shush me?”
“Remember, mum’s the word. It all rests on Tomboy’s decision. Anyway,
I’m just helping them to cover their marriage. And I can’t do anything until I get the green light to Let everyone know. So I have to pretend that she’s my wife, until she says otherwise,” explained Emmett.
Kasie finally made a sense of the situation.
“So, you mean that everyone thinks you’re Tomboy’s husband, even though you never said anything. You just Let people think what they want, right?”
“Exactly.” Emmett sighed helplessly. His boss’s wife wanted to keep a low profile.
“But still…Why keep it a secret from Hayden? Isn’t it better to let him know? If he knew Carlos was Tomboy’s husband, he might stop pestering her.” Emmett and Kasie continued to walk along the road, engrossed in a talk centered around Carlos and Debbie. She asked, and he felt it was only fair to let her know what was going on. That way, she might not let anything slip either. Carlos wasn’t happy with her at the moment, and maybe if she understood more about the situation, then she might even be able to help.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter pondering Kasie’s question for a short while, Emmett said, “Maybe
Tomboy just didn’t bother explaining anything to Hayden.”
Emmett had always been impressed by Debbie’s unique personality. There were many reasons why. But what impressed him most was her attitude toward the title of “Mrs. Hilton.” If any other woman were in Debbie’s position, they probably would Let the whole world know that Carlos was their husband.
But Debbie was different. She had silently kept it a secret for three years, and more surprisingly, she had even wanted to divorce Carlos.
She was actually trill, not a faker, not just trying to attract Carlos’ attention. Luckily, Carlos had figured out who she really was and had done everything to win her over. Or else, they probably would have already divorced.
Emmett and Kasie kept carrying on Like this until they reached the gate of Kasie’s apartment building. Before they bade each other farewell,
Emmett tried to call Debbie one last time. To his surprise, the call went through.
Kasie’s jaw dropped when she saw how Emmett’s face changed all of a sudden. With a pathetic expression on his face, he begged in a feigned sobbing voice, “Mrs. Hilton, you have to help me!”
