Chapter 271
After Carlos was gone, the meeting room went into an uproar. Everyone gathered around Emmett, eager to know who was on the phone.
“Emmett, who’s that miracle worker that made Carlos change his tone so abruptly?”
“Man, aren’t you just a savior?! If Carlos continued to scold us Like that, I would have jumped off the building.”
Emmett cleared his voice before saying, “This is Carlos’ private life and I have to keep it a secret. Please excuse me, I need to go back to work.”
Not until Carlos entered his office did he realize he was using
Emmett’s phone.
“Call me.”
After saying that, he hung up.
Debbie was left speechless. ‘I’m still mad at him! Why would I call him?” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
While she was still at a loss whether she would call Carlos or not, she got a text message from Emmett saying, “Debbie, Carlos lost his temper again! Help!”
Having no time to think, Debbie dialed Carlos‘ number. When the phone was connected, she yelled, “Old man, what’s wrong with you? Why so touchy?”
With a sneer, Carlos answered, “You know exactly why!”
Not knowing how to respond, Debbie remained silent for a moment. ‘Is he mad because I made him lose face in front of Megan or something?”
After a long pause, Carlos broke the silence.
“Do you have something you want to say to me?”
“Yes, I have.”
“Say it.”
“I want to sleep in the dorm this evening.”
“Not a chance!”
“Then I’m done.”
With a gloomy expression, Carlos said, “I’ll pick you up this evening.”
“No, please. Don’t!” answered a stubborn Debbie.
Carlos gnashed his teeth and snarled, “Are you sure?”
“I gotta go. Bye!”
Before he could respond, she hung up.
