He walked over to Debbie and greeted, “Good afternoon, Carlos.”

Debbie nodded, “Afternoon to you.”

“Debbie, Carlos bought these and askedto bring them to you.”

Debbie stopped eating and looked at those bags. Her eyes lit up on the sight of the Logo of a designer Lipstick brand she always wished for, but couldn’t afford. At the price of a six thousand dollars per piece, it was way too expensive for her.

“Thank Carlos for me. But I won’t take these. Take them back to him so that he can give them to someone else,” Debbie said in a flat tone.

Her refusal surprised Tristan. Had he walked into a marital storm? It was an awkward moment he wished he should have excused himself.

But Carlos was his boss, and he felt obliged to put in a good word for the big man.

“Debbie, Carlos picked these for you in person this morning. I’ve worked for Carlos for a long time, and I’ve never seen him pick a gift for any woman before.”

Careful not to make the situation spoil Tristan’s mood over her differences with Carlos, she simply said, “Take these Lipsticks back to

Carlos. I don’t want them.”

However, unsure how he would face Carlos, Tristan put the lipsticks on the dining table and turned around.

Once he got out of the house, he wiped beads of sweat off his forehead and feeling the warmth of sunshine, a sudden need to talk to someone filled his heart. To help his boss, he might need Emmett to be around.

Among his colleagues, Emmett was a friend to Debbie. Meeting Debbie in this foul mood reminded Tristan of his own struggles. ‘Emmett, cback home. I wouldn’t be so miserable if you were here, ‘ he thought.
