“You’re a grown woman. You should take your own responsibility when there’s a problem instead of blaming others, understand?”
Apparently pissed off, Debbie laughed sarcastically. Grabbing the pillow from behind her back, she threw it at Carlos angrily.
“To hell with your ‘blaming others’! Get out of my sight! I don’t ever want to see you again! Ever!”
Unflappable, Carlos didn’t duck. The pillow softly hit him.
“Get srest.” With those three words, he picked the pillow up, tossed it on the sofa, and left.

Made her feel like a princess. But when he ignored her, it made her feel Like a weed in his backyard. Something which he didn’t give a damn about and could as well be trampled under feet.
Her phone had been destroyed in the accident, so when Debbie was left alone in the ward, she had nothing to do but aimlessly switch between
TV channels. Yet, she didn’t find anything of interest.
When she finally got bored with the telly, and Carlos had been gone for more than one hour, she decided to get out of bed to play on the computer in the ward.
Leaving the TV on, she heavy-heartedly dragged herself out of bed and sat at the computer. That was when the TV in the background drew her attention.
“CEO of Hilton Group, Mr. Carlos, is present at the fashion show.” Instantly she turned to check what was on the news.
On Alorith Fashion Satellite TV, an international fashion show was being broadcast live.
Countless cameras were on Carlos, the grim-looking, well-dressed man.
His date wore a cloud dress and white stilettos. Arm in arm, they walked on the red carpet towards the venue.
Watching all this, Debbie couldn’t help but move closer to the TV.
But there was no mistaking the woman next to him-Portia!
Walking beside Carlos, the ever proud and aloof woman enjoyed the envious gazes from everywhere, obvious excitement written all over her porcelain face.

“Didn’t he say he always kept a low profile? Didn’t he say he never allowed the media to take pictures of him? Then what the hell is this?! Everything he says is a lie!
He is a lying, cheating son of a bitch!’
Even after he and Portia had sat in their VIP seats, the reporters kept on taking pictures of the two. After all, it was rare for Carlos to be willing to face cameras. Besides, he and Portia looked great together.
“Previously, there was Olga, and then Megan, and now, Portia! Carlos, aren’t you a philandering old dog?!’ Debbie cursed inwardly.
Portia was never nice to her. And now she was wrapping her arm around
Carlos’ in public, for the whole world to see!
Unable to take in the eyesore anymore, Debbie grabbed a glass form the bedside cupboard and smashed it angrily against the TV, sending the nurses gasping in shock.
